About this title

Synopsis

In the 1960s and 70s, Len Solo was part of the "new schools movement," in which educators collaborated to create some of the best public schools ever seen in America-schools that were personal, vibrant, and alive. Now, as education in the United States is weighed down by rigidity and standardization, Solo takes us back to that time of excitement, change, and creativity to provide a path forward for schools today. Education: Back to the Future is a collection of one man's stories as he explores the possibilities schools can hold. An inspiration to educators, parents, and administrators alike, Len Solo's experience illustrates the exceptional things that can happen when convention is left behind and students are the center of their own education.
