 The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children Need--And What We Can Do About It
by Tony Wagner |
| Book Reviews “In this persuasive book, Tony Wagner delineates what skills are needed in a globalized era, why most American schools can’t nurture them, and how today’s schools could be transformed to cultivate tomorrow’s skills.” —Howard Gardner, author of Minds for the Future and Multiple Intelligences “Wagner is not just talking about our schools here – he is talking about the future of our nation. The Global Achievement Gap cuts through the complexity and partisan posing so often associated with this genre. It is a powerful call to action, and a roadmap of how to fundamentally rethink the education of our children. If we ignore it, we do so at great peril.” —Keith R. McFarland, best-selling author of The Breakthrough Company: How Everyday Companies Become Extraordinary Performers |
