PRAISE FOR THE FLAT WORLD AND EDUCATION: HOW AMERICAS COMMITMENT TO EQUITY WILL DETERMINE OUR FUTURE

We are so fortunate that Linda Darling-Hammond has provided this roadmap for educational excellence for all children in todays flat world. She thoughtfully emphasizes the basic strengthsstandards, assessment, teaching, etc.that we need in these changing times, and then she outlines what our schools must do to respond to these 21st-century learning needs. Linda is one of the education researchers whom I most respect. I am so pleased that she clearly designates equity as the priority for educating our current and future students. All children must mean all children , and this book shows us how to do it.

Richard W. Riley, Former U.S. Secretary of Education, and Former Governor of South Carolina

When Linda Darling-Hammond speaks, Americas teachers listen! I listened and learned from her as together we led the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and created the National Commission on Teaching and Americas Future. Excellent schools are the key to Americas economic futureand superb teaching is the key to great schools. This book makes clear as a bell how to organize schools for successful teaching and what state and national policies are required to support it.

James B. Hunt, Former Governor of North Carolina, and President of the Hunt Institute

Darling-Hammond has provided readers with a thorough and insightful explanation of what it will take to create the schools we need in the United States. In addition to providing a powerful critique of current policy to explain why we are still leaving so many children behind, she uses examples taken from nations that have experienced a greater degree of educational success to make the case for the kinds of policies that should be pursued here. Her ideas are clear and compelling and her arguments are sound, rooted in evidence and unencumbered by the kinds of ideological partisanship that characterizes too much of current debates on education. After reading this book, one will understand why it was that candidate Obama, when seeking advice from the sharpest minds in education, turned to Dr. Linda Darling-Hammond.

Pedro A. Noguera, Ph.D., Peter L. Agnew Professor of Education, Steinhardt School of Culture, Education and Development, and Executive Director, Metropolitan Center for Urban Education, New York University

Anyone who desires a quantum leap in the educational achievements of American studentsas opposed to the quick fixmust address the issues raised in this carefully argued and well-documented work.

Howard Gardner, Hobbs Professor of Cognition and Education, Harvard Graduate School of Education

Once again, Linda Darling-Hammond brings clarity to complexity, thoughtful analysis to politically charged issues, and sound policy recommendations to the hysteria of what to do to save Americas public schools. In this volume, the macro meets the micro on terms that let all democratically minded citizens breathe a sigh of relief.

Gloria Ladson-Billings, Kellner Family Chair of Urban Education, University of Wisconsin-Madison

Linda Darling-Hammond has written the definitive description of the problems that drag down the quality and equity of our educational system. Writing with passion, solid scholarship, and compassion, she presents a vision of the changes that are necessary to build a better education system and a brighter future for all our children and our nation.

Diane Ravitch, Research Professor of Education, New York University, and author of The Death and Life of the Great American School System

Linda Darling-Hammonds latest is a profoundly important book. She provides both a powerful rationale and a clear, detailed roadmap for how public education must be transformed to meet the challenges of teaching, learning, and assessment in the 21st century. It is a must-read for educators, policymakers, and others concerned about the future of our country in a flat world.

Tony Wagner, co-director, Harvard Change Leadership Group, and author of The Global Achievement Gap
