Education, as we know it in America, is too often characterized as living in a world by itself; unaccountable and unimproved--so different from the Real World. Year after year "Band-Aid" attempts are initiated to improve education and again, year after year, those attempts only produce marginal improvement--if any. Thus, our international ranking is still depicted as "mediocre;" documented by low levels of student learning (inexplicable low college admissions SAT scores), high drop-out rates (8300 high school students per day, yes per day) and disenchanted "stay-outs" (those who survived bad learning experiences and vowed to never return). This book, "Reforming Education for the Real World," identifies the practices necessary to make America a world leader in education. The content focuses on resolving the existing deficiencies related to teaching and learning through accountability and continuous improvement. These practices, already proven successful in the "Real World," only require implementation. The key is what the world of education will have to "Reform" to implement the practices. Additionally, this book reveals the "millennium-proven" principles of effective teaching, seemingly rare in current practice, that no public or private teacher shoud ever confront learners without applying. It is a "primer" for effective teaching and learning. ).

How to Improve Student Learning

The Problem: The international ranking of the United States in education is described as "mediocre." SAT test scores (college admissions) are inexplicably low, and there is an accelerating exodus of students from elementary and high schools to other learning alternatives. Recognizably, students and parents are dissatisfied. This is reinforced by the negative perception of students who have finished the system and vowed to never return and by the critical number of students who have just given up and dropped out. The Reality: We are experiencing a strong public discontent with the realities of U.S. public education. Resultantly we are leaving part of the future of our nation to approximately four and a half million public school drop-outs per year. The Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020 limited the lives of approximately 365,000 people in the U.S. yet we are limiting the potential economic, social, and technological contributions to our nation of 4,500,000 former drop-out students every year with no effective solution. This negatively affects all of us and is reason enough for even the strongest dissenters to agree this is a problem that needs to be resolved.The Solution: The intention of this Guide is to improve student learning. It is written to help Parents, School Board Members, Administrators, Government, Business, Teachers, Students or anyone interested in education, to promote: teaching to the way all students learn, evaluating the level of learning, and improving the teaching methodologies--continuously. Thus the Guide: How to Improve Student Learning.
