Reinventing America’s Schools: Creating a 21st Century Education System is a story of transformation. It is a bracing survey by the Progressive Policy Institute’s David Osborne of the most dramatic improvements taking place in urban public education today, in cities as diverse as New Orleans, Denver, Washington, D.C., and Indianapolis. Osborne distills lessons learned from these hubs of innovation, unpacking a broader theory of how U.S. education must be redesigned for a new century, while also sketching out a road map that cities and policymakers across America can adopt.
