Just released from PRI - read The Great Classroom Collapse, the latest book from senior director of PRI's Center for Education, Lance Izumi.

[link removed] Great Classroom Collapse investigates the implosion of rigor and learning in America’s schools and identifies why students cannot read, write, do basic math, and are wholly unprepared for college and the workplace. Those reasons range from schools prioritizing equity and social justice concerns over equality of opportunity and meritocracy; to teaching methods and curricula unsupported by empirical evidence; to teacher training programs that fail to instruct prospective teachers on what really improves student learning.

Readers will meet students, parents, K-12 teachers and tutors, college instructors, and policymakers who are experiencing the collapse of learning in America’s classrooms and are fighting to change things for the better, including:
* A Georgia mom and former teacher whose deficient teacher prep education caused tragic consequences for her students
* A Southern California engineer who has fought failed reading and math curricula in his children’s school
* A state legislator who is pushing for schools to provide the foundational reading skills that children need to succeed

In too many schools, classroom learning has collapsed. The Great Classroom Collapse shows how it can be improved to give all children a greater opportunity for a successful future.
