Hardback. Condición: Good. New York Times Bestseller (Education) The Economist Best Books of the Year Selection In this revealing and provocative memoir, the former chancellor of the New York City schools offers the behind-the-scenes story of the city's dramatic campaign to improve public education and an inspiring blueprint for national reform. In 2002 New York City's newly elected mayor, Michael Bloomberg, made a historic announcement: his administration had won control of the city's school system in a first step toward reversing its precipitous decline. In a controversial move, he appointed Joel Klein, an accomplished lawyer from outside the education establishment, to lead this ambitious campaign. Lessons of Hope is Klein's inside account of his eight-year mission of improvement: demanding accountability, eliminating political favoritism, and battling a powerful teachers union that seemed determined to protect a status quo that didn't work for kids. Klein's initiatives resulted in more school choice, higher graduation rates, and improved test scores. The New York City model is now seen as a national standard for meaningful school reform. But the journey was not easy. Klein faced resistance and conflict at every turn. Lessons of Hope lays bare the problems plaguing public education and shows how they can be solved. At its core lies Klein's personal story: his humble upbringing in Brooklyn and Queens, and the key role that outstanding public school teachers played in nurturing his success. Engaging and illuminating, Lessons of Hope is essential reading for anyone concerned about the future of American public education.…

Condición: As New. : En este revelador y provocador libro de memorias, el ex canciller de las escuelas de la ciudad de Nueva York ofrece la historia detrás de las escenas de la dramática campaña de la ciudad para mejorar la educación pública y un plan inspirador para la reforma nacional. En 2002, el recién elegido alcalde de la ciudad de Nueva York, Michael Bloomberg, hizo un anuncio histórico: su administración había ganado el control del sistema escolar de la ciudad en un primer paso para revertir su precipitado declive. En una medida controvertida, nombró a Joel Klein, un abogado consumado ajeno al mundo de la educación, para liderar esta ambiciosa campaña. 'Lessons of Hope' es el relato interno de Klein de su misión de mejora de ocho años: exigir responsabilidad, eliminar el favoritismo político y luchar contra un poderoso sindicato de maestros que parecía decidido a proteger un statu quo que no funcionaba para los niños. Las iniciativas de Klein dieron como resultado más opciones escolares, tasas de graduación más altas y mejores resultados en los exámenes. El modelo de la ciudad de Nueva York ahora se considera un estándar nacional para una reforma escolar significativa. Pero el viaje no fue fácil. Klein enfrentó resistencia y conflicto en cada momento. 'Lessons of Hope' expone los problemas que aquejan a la educación pública y muestra cómo se pueden resolver. En su núcleo se encuentra la historia personal de Klein: su humilde educación en Brooklyn y Queens, y el papel clave que jugaron los excelentes maestros de escuelas públicas en el fomento de su éxito. Atractivo e iluminador, 'Lessons of Hope' es una lectura esencial para cualquier persona preocupada por el futuro de la educación pública estadounidense.
