Surpassing Shanghai: An Agenda for American Education Built on the World's Leading Systems
Kaufoptionen und Plus-Produkte
This book answers a simple question: How would one redesign the American education system if the aim was to take advantage of everything that has been learned by countries with the world’s best education systems?
With a growing number of countries outperforming the United States on the most respected comparisons of student achievement—and spending less on education per student—this question is critical.
Surpassing Shanghai looks in depth at the education systems that are leading the world in student performance to find out what strategies are working and how they might apply to the United States. Developed from the work of the National Center on Education and the Economy, which has been researching the education systems of countries with the highest student performance for more than twenty years, this book provides a series of answers to the question of how the United States can compete with the world’s best.

Bewertet in den USA am26. November 2012The author Mark Tucker is the president of the National Center for Education and the Economy, and this book is very much in the spirit of the excellent work that NCEE has done over the years. Not only are the suggestions thoughtful, well supported, and compelling, but the book lays out an articulate model for how to approach the task of figuring out what works in educational reform and policy. It is a must-read for anyone who wants to be informed on the best thinking in education reform, whether one is a teacher, administrator, policy-maker, businessperson, or just interested in the success of the U.S. education system.

Bewertet in den USA am26. Januar 2012I just starting reading this book a few days ago, but so enjoy how the book approaches the subject of "the world leading educational systems." The author examines the educational systems of Shanghai, Finland, Japan, Singapore, and Canada. Surpassing Shanghai is well written, extremely reflective, and critical in an effective manner. The website, Edutopia, just put out several films on the aforementioned school systems. We (as Americans) need to glean from these systems and beat them as this game we call "education"---sooner, rather than later.

Bewertet in den USA am22. August 2019Surpassing Shanghai is well written in language that is interesting and down to earth, however, I felt the comparisons throughout and the summation regarding the feasibility of adapting benchmarks of the five highlighted countries' schools to U.S. schools left gaping holes. One hole - only a word or two was devoted to student discipline, which is a major impediment in many U.S. schools, especially inner-city, to a good education.
In 2002 I observed an 8th grade class in Hartford, CT , that made me wonder how the teacher came back every day. No respect for her or for the male principal who stood at the door. There was no learning going on. Students were moving desks around and taking things off the teacher's desk. Unreal. I can't think Hartford is atypical of inner-city schools. At that time the state had taken it over.
Another hole - when educators and parents are skeptical of comparing U.S. student test scores to other countries' scores, they know in their gut that the data is flawed and here is why it is: Looking at the five highlighted countries (Shanghai, Japan, Canada, Singapore and Finland), none have failed their minority or immigrant students as abysmally as the U.S. has. Japan has few immigrants so not a focus for them. In the other four countries there are specific, robust programs to keep all students learning at a high level: These four countries keep all the balls in the air. They assimilate and take education seriously.
Not to pick on Hartford, they did have a second language teacher but he was always filling in as a sub in a classroom, so was no help with students who didn't understand English well enough to learn anything.
There's a whole lot more wrong with our schools than the schools. Our whole culture needs to wake up. We need professional teachers, not people who can't cut it elsewhere. By a hair's breadth, future students were saved because I know someone (who thankfully couldn't pass the certification test after 3 tries) who after 4 yrs of education courses in college still thought the sun and moon were the same object. Saints preserve us. We need a better caliber of teacher pool.
We need to not make our high school graduation rate tied to our real estate. All communities with great schools shout that out when advertising a house for sale. Don't you think that we short-change students just for a number? I know we do.
I have always thought teaching was like throwing darts -- we had no board/marker to know if we were hitting the real target, except fabricated ones in our little high school world. I've read in Surpassing Shanghai that the final test for a high school in one of the countries is the admittance test to the university. Imagine that. At the least I would have liked our seniors after a year of college to come back and tell us first hand what we did right or wrong.
I believe our best bench mark country would be Canada. They encourage immigrants because they need them for their workforce, as least in 2012 when the book was published. We don't generally encourage immigrants, we just get them, but none the less, we need to see how Canada manages to make them an asset.
One country forecasts with the help of their industries what workers they will need and dovetails the school curriculum to that goal. The U.S. education system couldn't devise a more helter-skelter system. We are not serious about enriching our students. It is just put in your time, do enough to get by and get out -- and that's just the teachers! We shall pay the price one day.

Bewertet in den USA am11. Dezember 2014A must-read for anyone seriously interested in improving American education by learning from those who do a much better job than we do. It is quintessentially Marc Tucker. Congratulations for another thought-provoking publication that demonstrates clearly what we should be doing today to ensure this country's future through education.

Bewertet in den USA am19. Juni 2017The book is phenomenal--will make you hopeful about changing our educational system, and gives a blueprint for being more successful with students. My book arrived bent and damaged but I can still read it--so few complaints.

Bewertet in den USA am23. Juli 2014Outstanding read. The principles espoused in this report are perhaps the most important and most powerful coherent points of reference we can have in our effort to create excellent school systems in the United States.

Meh. Gives an overview, but I'm not sure I agree with some of the chapter authors.

Kindle CustomerBewertet in Großbritannien am 16. Juni 20134,0 von 5 Sternen A good introduction to the education systems of other countries
A good read, but some parts do not seem to match reality. In the Chinese system there is a lot of variety which does not come across. A good summary, but not a comprehensive account of the realities in any of the countries covered.
