He reviews progress made two decades ago set forth in a national report ("A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Education Reform"), proving that quick fixes don't work, and discussing the lack of a national consensus about education. He then covers the importance of civic and institutional capacity, community collaboration, and the obstacles that legislation, litigation, and labor agreements have presented to reform. He ends with a discussion of how to avoid repeating past mistakes, understanding theory, and accepting reality. Wartgow was most recently superintendent of Denver Public Schools. He aims th at state and federal legislators; national, state, and local education agencies and foundations; principals and teachers; consultants; and those studying education at the college level, as well as parents and community members.
