Researcher and educator Siegfried Engelmann?s new book, The Outrage of Project Follow Through: 5 Million Failed Kids Later, has not been published yet. However, D-Ed Reckoning posted comments and linked to PDF sites of chapter one and two. Engelmann gives the history of his journey into education, and the history of  Project Follow Through, a good read for anyone interested in education issues.
I wrote about this research study last week, and we posted some information regarding Project Follow Through on the Alliance?s homepage. It is not that our country lacks the action plan to produce achievement; there simply is not the political will to override the establishment. In particular, Schools of Education that prepare teachers are not held responsible for outputs, so why change?
