Horace's Hope: What Works for the American High School
The third book in theHoracetrilogy,Horace's Hopeexplores Theodore R. Sizer's own hopes for the future of high schools. Sizer, the chairman of the Coalition of Essential Schools, first gained widespread attention in 1984 withHorace's Compromise, a study of the American high school, followed byHorace's School, a fictional account of school reform. In the final installment, Horace presents a progressive approach to education that allows students time and space to explore their subjects. This culmination of a 12-year attempt to establish more progressive schools advances the case for Sizer's vision of a reformed school system.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
