内容説明
"The melding of reform approaches by the Coalition of EssentialSchools and of the 'school-to-work' movement has been inevitable aswell as sensible. In Schooling for the Real World, Adria Steinberg,Kathleen Cushman, and Robert Riordan outline how these reforminitiatives have effectively coiled together and put theircollective experience into an accessible and usable form. Given itscomplexity, the practical reshaping of America's high schools willsurely be a messy business. The authors bring some order from theirexperience and thereby provide all of us a big boostahead."--Theodore R. Sizer, chairman, Coalition of EssentialSchools

Such experience addsconsiderable value to what is studied in school and helps youngpeople see themselves as citizens of their places, persons who arehighly valued for their seriousness of purpose and hard work byadults in their communities."--Vito Perrone, director of Programsin Teaching, Harvard Graduate School of Education
In today's workplace, the "knowledge worker" has become key to highperformance.

Throughoutthe book, there are examples offering important lessons and toolsto administrators, teachers, policymakers, and community leaders.Schooling for the Real World heralds a future in which theknowledge worker is not the exception, but the rule.
