Are America's schools broken? This book seeks to address misconceptions about America's schools by taking on the credo 'what can be measured matters'. To the contrary, Dr Bracey makes a persuasive case that much of what matters cannot be assessed on a multiple choice test. The challenge for educators is to deal effectively with an incomplete accountability system-while creating a broader understanding of successful schools and teachers. School leaders must work to define, maintain, and increase essential skills that may not be measured in today's accountability plans.
