2. Reinventing America's Schools
A practical, reform-minded roadmap arguing that American public schools must be transformed by decentralizing control, giving principals and teachers more autonomy, and holding schools accountable for student outcomes; it promotes school choice and competition (including charter schools), performance-based incentives, clear standards and testing, flexible funding, and stronger leadership and community engagement as ways to spur innovation and improve learning across the system.
