David Osborne’s eyes light up when he talks about proof.
A nationally renowned public policy reformer who is most well known for writing the New York Times bestseller Reinventing Government: How the Entrepreneurial Spirit is Transforming the Public Sector, and who now serves as a director of the forward-thinking Reinventing America’s Schools project at the Progressive Policy Institute, his animated tone and the sparkle in his eye suggest this particular proof is especially compelling.
And not just that, it’s living.
The proof he’s talking about is the significant, life-altering student achievement gains in big cities across the countries, including New Orleans, Denver, and Washington, D.C., which have embraced innovation full force in recent years in an effort to reinvent public education.
In his new book, Reinventing America’s Schools: Creating a 21st Century Education System, which is out September 5 along with an immersive multimedia experience curated in partnership with The 74, David vividly and specifically unpacks his theory of how U.S. education must be redesigned and sketches out a roadmap for cities and policymakers across America to adopt.
