Publisher's Summary

The late Theodore Sizer's vision for a truly democratic public high school system.

Our current high schools are ill-designed and inefficient. We have inherited a program of studies that in its overall structure has not changed in over a century. The question is, "What's next?" 

Theodore Sizer, the founder of The Coalition of Essential Schools, was a passionate advocate for the American school system. In this, his last audiobook, he offers a vision of what a future secondary education might look like. 

In an audiobook that tells the story of his own odyssey, Sizer, author of landmark book Horace's Compromise and one of America's greatest leaders of educational reform, gives shape to a much-needed agenda for improving our high schools.
