The Right to Learn (A Blueprint for Creating Schools That Work)

Winner of AERA Outstanding Book Award in 1998

"While she recognizes the necessity for school reform and thecomplexity of implementing it, Darling-Hammond remains optimisticthat systemic changes to ensure access to a meaningful educationfor all children are possible. Her book is positive and hopeful andserves as a fascinating account of American education and itspromise of 'the right to learn' for all children."
—Washington Post

"Darling-Hammond's central claim is well worth listening to. Sheargues that American students do so poorly by comparison withstudents in other industrialized countries not because we don'tgive them enough work, but because our teaching is less thoughtful,and because we are obsessed with bureaucratic processes rather thaneducational outcomes."
—New York Times Book Review

One of the nation's most respected educators provides a visionof exceptional, learner-centered schools and describes the policiesand practices that are needed to create these schools on asystem-wide basis.
