Troublemaker

More about the book

Chester Finn's extensive career in education, spanning roles from assistant secretary under Reagan to high school teacher and think-tank analyst, provides a unique insider perspective on U.S. education reforms over the past four decades. His account covers major movements like racial integration and No Child Left Behind, while also reflecting on his personal journey as a prominent and often dissenting figure in the field. "Troublemaker" combines a vivid history of educational change with the narrative of a maverick who has shaped and challenged these reforms.
