Rick Hess: Education Unbound: The Promise and Practice of Greenfield Schooling
Update: 2010-06-08
Description
Frederick M. (Rick) Hess is a resident scholar and director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute. In the recently published book, Education Unbound: The Promise and Practice of Greenfield Schooling, Hess introduces us to the concept of break-the-mold "greenfield schooling" and its potential to free-up schools to be more responsive to communities and kids.
Rick Hess visited Carnegie in May as part of the Carnegie Chats series. Instead of searching for a silver bullet or the "one, best" solution to school improvement, Hess said we should instead explore a vision for schooling based on starting over with a new infrastructure that encourages talented, motivated individuals to find alternative paths to better teaching and learning.
