Class Act: Ending the Education Wars - Softcover
Through a series of conversations and case studies, Maxine McKew documents the transformation now underway in classrooms around Australia and examines the strategies that are helping lift academic performance, particularly in some of the most challenged schools. Class Act invites reflection on one of the country's most pressing national dilemmas: how to replicate success across a fragmented educational system and reverse the decline in student performance. With its frank accounts of the joys and pitfalls of learning in the 21st century, Class Act will appeal to parents, teachers, and policymakers alike.
