Book Synopsis
One of the challenges facing education reformers in the US is how to devise a consistent and intelligent framework for instruction that will work across the nation's notoriously fragmented and politically conflicted school systems. This book offers guidance for state and local school systems as they attempt to respond to future reform proposals.

Trade Review
"Improvement by Design takes a fascinating look at an approach to and a period of educational reform that has not been fully examined. By providing a powerful illustration of the weaknesses and turbulence that reformers continue to ignore at their peril and cogently arguing for the development of a much more sophisticated infrastructure to support teaching and learning, the book makes a valuable contribution to the literature." (Thomas Hatch, Teachers College, Columbia University)"
