 | Making the Grade by Tony Wagner
Wagner, co-director of a leadership group at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and a senior advisor on education to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, offers his opinions on how to improve and reinvent the American educational system. Wagner attests that the American educational system must be totally redirected--away from the curriculum first established during the industrial revolution and towards a curriculum more in line with the modern information age. Furthermore, Wagner outlines how communities, government, teachers, parents, and students can work together to reform and reinvent the American school system. AUTHOR: Tony Wagner
