<p>Education, as we know it in America, is too often characterized as living in a world by itself; unaccountable and unimproved--so different from the Real World.&nbsp; Year after year 'Band-Aid' attempts are initiated to improve education and again, year after year, those attempts only produce marginal improvement--if any.&nbsp; Thus, our international ranking is still depicted as 'mediocre;' documented by low levels of student learning (inexplicable low college admissions SAT scores), high drop-out rates (8300&nbsp;high school students per day, yes per day), and disenchanted 'stay-outs' (those who survived bad learning experiences and vowed to never return).</p>

<p>This book, 'Reforming Education for the Real World' identifies the practices necessary to make America a world leader in education.&nbsp; The content focuses on resolving the existing deficiencies related to teaching and learning; through accountability and continuous improvement.&nbsp; These practices, already proven successful in the 'Real World,' only require implementation.&nbsp; The key is what the world of education will have to 'Reform' to implement the practices.</p>

<p>Additionally, this book also reveals the 'millennium-proven' principles of effective teaching, seemingly rare in current practice, that no public or private teacher should ever confront learners without applying.&nbsp; It is a 'primer' for effective teaching and learning.</p>
