This report is the first of a series of policy recommendations on American education. The Task Force members include governors, leaders of teachers' unions, chief state school officers, a teacher educator, a state legislator, educational statesmen, business executives, and people committed to quality education for the minorities and the poor. The report seeks to remind Americans of the economic challenges pressing them on all sides; to assert the primacy of education as the foundation of economic growth, equal opportunity, and a shared national vision; to reaffirm that the teaching profession is the best hope for establishing new standards of excellence as the hallmark of American education; and to point out that opportunities lie before them in the next decade to reform education. The Task Force feels that though expensive, the reform will be affordable and will prove significant for the country and its children. ISBN 0-9616685-0-4 : $9.95.
Experts within the fields of education, government, labor, and industry discuss the national teacher crisis and its impact on economic growth, with recommendations for new partnerships between education and industry that will bring about progress for both.
