520 $a"Time for Action should be read by anyone concerned about the future of education in the United States. It was written for students, parents, educators, administrators, and policy makers because it will require effort from all of these individuals to create meaningful change in the education system. This book discusses why the education system needs to change now and provides practical examples of teaching approaches, school models, and assessment systems that can move the education system in the right direction. Students deserve an education that teaches them how to solve challenging problems and inspires them to become lifelong learners."--Book cover.
