"Michael Barber outlines the steps that will enable courageous education leaders around the country to execute their plans and bridge the gap between hope and reality."—Joel Klein, ChancellorNew York City Department of Education"No one knows system reform better than Sir Michael Barber. His delivery contains bold, inspiring, crystal clear ideas that are never more timely than today. A must-read for reformers at all levels of the system."—Michael Fullan, Professor EmeritusUniversity of Toronto Ontario Institute for Studies in EducationA step-by-step approach to delivering resultsMichael Barber, former chief advisor on delivery to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and his colleagues Andy Moffit and Paul Kihn thoroughly describe Barber′s proven reform delivery processes in this practical field guide.

This book focuses on how to accomplish meaningful results, including: Significant and ongoing education reformExcellence and equity across public education Students who are prepared to lead America′s futureThe authors illustrate a field-tested program that ensures reform is achieved in the most profound sense, with students able to see, feel, and reap the benefits of a high-quality education.
