Features: Educational reform concerns the nation, schools, teachers, and naturally, students and parents. People at different levels have different focuses when it comes to educational reform. The nation is concerned with the relationship between education and social development, as well as the quantity, quality, and structure of talent. Schools are concerned with their reputation and competitiveness within a certain range. Teachers, on the other hand, are more concerned with the extent to which education changes their teaching practices. When it comes to educational reform—what to reform, how to reform, in what way, at what pace, to what extent, and how to evaluate its effectiveness—there are differing opinions. Looking at educational reforms today, various forces are engaged in varying degrees of competition. This book vividly portrays the competitive process of the U.S. "Foundation School Consortium" in this theme of reform. It is believed that readers at different levels will find content that particularly interests them in this book.
