About the Author :
Jim Dueck has had a career in education spanning forty years of service as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and deputy minister. He ahs advised representatives from almost fifty education systems around the world, who sought suggestions regarding assessment and accountability in education, including the US government’s launch of the Race to the Top initiative.

Review :
Then, Now, and Why provides a sixty-year context for the biggest educational issues of the day. Dueck’s carefully researched trend analyses results in evidence-based arguments that call for sweeping reform. Best possible outcomes for students is his orienting perspective and it leaves no room for skeletons in the closet. In Then, Now, and Why Now, Jim Dueck provides a fascinating overview of how North American schools have evolved over the years. What makes this book so refreshing is that Dueck doesn't regurgitate the usual ivory tower talking points that we so often hear from education academics. Instead, Dueck combines years of experience in the field with extensive scholarly research to provide practical suggestions which, if implemented, would go a long way to improving the quality of education students receive. Then, Now, and Why Now is a reminder of the adage 'the only constant in life is change' as it seeks to map out the changes in K-12 education over the last 60 years. Covering topics like class size and teacher accountability, these snapshots wrestle with implications of the transformation and, while Jim’s opinions are characteristically controversial, will inspire any reader to sharpen their thinking.
