Could not agree more with the last comment. If we are going to see a signficant shift towards a global contextual environment for all classrooms--policy makers have to make this a priority and devote resources and get good help and advice (not the usual tinkering around the edges) but the kind of assistance the Chicago school received to transform their schools. If you are interested in writing to me about this--I am ready--about to write a chapter for my book on this.
