520 "In this revealing and thoughtful memoir, the former
chancellor of the New York City schools offers the behind-
the-scenes story of the city's dramatic campaign to
improve public education and an inspiring blueprint for
national reform. In 2002, New York City's newly elected
mayor, Michael Bloomberg, began his first term with a
controversial announcement: his administration had won
control of the city's school system in a first step toward
reversing its precipitous decline. Joel Klein, an
accomplished lawyer completely outside of the education
establishment, was selected to lead this ambitious,
unprecedented campaign. Lessons of Hope is Klein's inside
account of his eight-year mission of improvement:
demanding accountability; eliminating political
favoritism; and battling a powerful teachers' union that
seemed determined to protect the worst in its ranks.
Klein's initiative resulted in more school choice, higher
graduation rates, and improved test scores. The New York
City model is now seen as a national blueprint for
meaningful school reform. But the journey was not easy.
Klein faced resistance and conflict at every turn. Lessons
of Hope serves as a guide to the problems plaguing public
education and how they can be solved. At its core lies
Klein's personal story: his humble upbringing in Brooklyn
and Queens and the essential role that outstanding public
school teachers played in nurturing his success.
Provocative and illuminating, Lessons of Hope is essential
reading for anyone concerned about the future of American
public education"--|cProvided by publisher.
