Nielsen\u2019s inspiration for the original version of the\nbook, published by Discovery Institute in 2014, was that it would provide a\nunique and distinctive approach to education reform\u2014dealing with  the overall \u201csystem\u201d of public education rather\nthan subjects like curriculum, teaching, and equity. Nielsen believes our\npublic schools will never materially improve until we address the constraints existing\nin the present system. Every School<\/em>\narticulates the problems with the current system and provides new ideas for how\nthese issues can be addressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What was missing with the previous\nversion, however, were the concrete steps needed to implement his plan. The \u201cgame\nplan\u201d does just that. He lays out how a state can go about transforming its\neducation system to provide the quality education its students need and deserve.\nThe state level is selected because the state controls most of the money, who\ncan teach, who can lead, the governance structure, the subjects taught, the pay\nfor staff, and the graduation requirements. The ACTE is actively pursuing\nstates to adopt the changes in the \u201cgame plan\u201d in order to create a template\nfor the nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The book is a must-read for parents,\npolicymakers, and citizens interested in public education.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
