Fixing Public Education by Dr. Anthony Dallmann-Jones, PhD along with Nine Experienced Educational Innovators as follows: *Ryan Champeau *Angela Engel *Marcus Gentry *Frank Kros *Laura Lindberg *Steve Parese *William Spady *Lynn Stoddard *Sue Stoddart About the Book: Fixing Public Education explains why our public school system has spiraled into deep trouble by drifting away from education's true purpose. Today's school systems are fear-based, stressful, negative, and pressurized. Some "educational reformers" claim that the stress is necessary if students today are to posses the 21st Century Tools and Skills essential to succeed in life. They demand more pressure, longer school days and years, "higher' standards, and more uniformity. Educational psychologists like Dr. Dallmann_Jones claim this would be the worst possible environment for long-term meaningful learning. "In actuality, more of the same is 180 degrees from what we need," states Dr. Dallmann-Jones. An educator with over five decades of experience, and who has taught students from kindergarten to PhD level, Dr. Anthony Dallmann-Jones, along with nine highly qualified educators, speak as one voice that leads us in a new and positive direction where leaning is depressurized, enjoyable, and clearly identifies and addresses those 21st Century Tools and Skills that allow American to "regain its edge" internationally. A school based on the January Education Model (JEM) not only moves away from standardization but affirms diversity and builds upon it. In a JEM school students (and teachers) will be inspired to discover and expand their unique attributes and talents and encourage excellence and meaningful learning in America's schools.
