Georgette Viller - 2008

Teaching all students to think and to be curious is

much more than a technical problem for whicheducators, alone, are accountable. And more

professional development for teachers and better

textbooks and tests, though necessary, are insufficient

as solutions. The problem goes much deeperto the

very way we conceive of the purpose and experience

of schooling and what we expect our high school

graduates to know and be able to do.

TonyWagner, The Global Achievement Gap, 2008
