Jim has worked with educational leaders in Chicago, Los Angeles, Cleveland, New York, Illinois, West Virginia, New Jersey, Michigan, Australia, New Zealand, Norway, and Israel. His specialty is the application of group investigation and inquiry models of learning as the primary methods for assisting school leaders and teachers adopt 21st century models of instruction. His aim is to assist school districts to design, implement, and assess programs that promote 21st century skills to increase academic performance among all children, including high-risk student populations.
"We cannot prepare some students for the past and others for the future. Together, the chapters in this book provide the research, theory, and practical experience that undergird the educational demands for the 21st century. It is a must-read for practitioners, policymakers, parents, students, and everyone in between."
--Ace Parsi, Project Director for Deeper Learning, National Association of State Boards of Education
"To get from where we are to where we need to be, every part of our work must be transformed not changed, but completely transformed. This is the book for those of us in the midst of this critical transformation. I need 150 copies yesterday."
--Sandra J. Dop, Director of the Competency-Based Education Collaborative, Iowa Department of Education
