Transforming Our Schools: John Merrow
John Merrow has spent his career shining a light on the political and social dynamics of our public education system. Founding president of Learning Matters and veteran education reporter for PBS, NPR, and dozens of national publications, Merrow offers a critical and insightful examination of our nation’s schools and the education our children receive. With warm storytelling and thoughtful, compelling case studies, Merrow paints a vibrant and inspiring picture of why and how we must transform – not reform – our schools.
