Reviews of A Grand Bargain for Education Reform

From Journal of School Choice:

“A Grand Bargain for Education Reform makes a considerable contribution to the field by thinking broadly about a comprehensive system of teacher recruitment, evaluation, and retention.”
—excerpt from book review in Journal of School Choice, Volume 4, Issue 1, 2010

From Book News:

“Written for educators and policymakers, this volume provides an overview of the OPE framework and ‘professional unionism’ before outlining a new reward structure and support system that emphasizes the use of data to drive instruction and performance assessments. A final section is devoted to piloting this new framework through the use of communication and constant evaluation.”
—excerpt from book review in Book News, November 2009

From The Education Gadfly:

“Aggressively forward-thinking and stoutly teacher-focused, it spells out a cohesive reform framework for school personnel policies, covering the gamut of topics from compensation to professional development to effective use of diagnostic testing. Specifically, it focuses on school-directed and individual-directed based merit pay, value-added ‘growth testing,’ and promotion based on effectiveness and leadership, not seniority or degree-collecting.”
—excerpt from book review in The Education Gadfly, August 2009
