Pedagogy

Global, Directive and Entrepreneurial: Defining High-Quality Education

‘Yong Zhao is one of the leading counterintuitive thinkers about the Global Achievement Gap. He talks about America's great prosperity despite its low education rankings on international tests and debunks the current corporate style ed reforms, then ends right where the reformers are aiming. If you have the time to watch, you will be deeply informed about the global achievement gap.’ http://www.scoop.it/t/for-parents-the-global-achievement-gap
