One Good Question: How Countries Prepare Youth to Lead

HOW TO ASK CHALLENGING QUESTIONS THAT LEAD YOU TO REAL SOLUTIONS.

Have you ever reached the end of a project and realized that you were solving the wrong question? Based on a blog interview series, Rhonda Broussard - an expert in pedagogy, international education, and racial equity - uses conversations with education leaders from eleven countries to try to answer her one good question. A question that she couldn't answer on her own, a question that could inspire different truths based on context, a question that could bring clarity in complexity. This book provides ample fodder for how you might define your own one good question.

What Broussard finds along the way is even more valuable: these conversations led to more provocations than answers. Her intense curiosity coincided with the launch of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and introduced Broussard to a global vision for education by the year 2030. This book contemplates questions like Who should really go to college? What voice should parents have in their children's education? How is the economy limiting education access worldwide? One Good Question gives new ways of thinking about the education problems we face today and how they connect us across the globe.
