Everette Surgenor's new book titled Creating Educational Access, Equity and Opportunity For All presents a compelling vision for the future of education. Surgenor's vision, however, cannot become reality unless there are thousands of educators with the courage, passion, and vision to take action to transform their school systems. They will need courage to face the adversity they will face ... Read moreas those with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo fiercely resist their efforts to transform-and they will resist because their entire careers and their sources of substantial funds are anchored to the Industrial-Age paradigm. They will need passion to give them the emotional and physical energy to stay in the fight in the face of the adversity, in spite of the odds, and despite efforts of politicians to continue funding education within the existing paradigm. And, of course, they will need a vision-like Surgenor's-that will serve as their North Star to guide them toward the dream that so many of us share for a new way of educating our children.
