The author contends that there’s no one answer to the question of what’s worth learning in schools. Instead the mission of the book is to explore better ways to think about the question. It offers a toolkit – key concepts, criteria, and ways of prioritizing– that will help us all arrive at better answers to what’s worth learning in our classes, our schools, our school systems, and our nations.
