Getting It Right: Dynamic School Renewal, Fixing What’s Broken

Patricia Anne Duncan Parrish

Getting it Right: Dynamic School Renewal, Fixing What’s Broken challenges citizens of this nation to right the wrongs in public education by elevating the graduation rate and by equipping every graduate with saleable skills for gainful employment in the marketplace and with foundation skills for postsecondary education success. This text encourages a proactive emphasis for prekindergarten through grade twelve supported with emerging research for early detection of at-risk students and subsequent early intervention. Getting It Right applauds uniting the community, home, and school in the education of each child.

Poignant reflections of Dr. Parrish’s experiences in public education in instructional, diagnostic, and central office administrative positions are embedded throughout Getting It Right with penetrating reflections of eloquently fulfilled promises, yet multiples of shattered dreams and lost childhoods of boys and girls. Dr. Parrish steps up to the plate proclaiming a quantifiable, higher level educational standard for every student is a global priority and a national emergency.

This book culminates with definitive, research-based strategies for energized, dynamic school renewal in every community in this nation-from metropolitan skyscrapers to barrio shanties- from snow-capped mountains to parched deserts-for every boy and every girl.
