Frederick M. Hess and Michael Q. McShane have assembled a diverse lineup of high-profile contributors to examine the forces that drive innovation within and outside the traditional education sector.Educational Entrepreneurship Today offers critical perspectives on the impact of entrepreneurship and also includes case studies by leading entrepreneurs which illustrate the realities of leading disruptive change in education and pose guiding questions for the next generation of innovators. "Backward-looking and forward-facing at the same time, this book reveals how and why entrepreneurial activity in education first began, what themes have dominated the movement thus far, and offers compelling insights into the opportunities that lie ahead."
--Monica C. Higgins, Kathleen McCartney Professor of Education Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education "At a time when almost all people must be well educated and highly skilled to meet the demands of an increasingly exciting, complex and inequitable world, it is imperative to understand the opportunities and challenges for entrepreneurial endeavors to produce and scale breakthrough solutions. In these chapters are insights that will benefit any education stakeholder interested in creating opportunity for all."
--Jim Shelton, president and chief impact officer, 2U, Inc. "Hess and McShane have me deep in thought once again. You won't agree with all of what you read here; you aren't expected to. This is not a book of solutions or recommendations. Rather, it is full of considerations, reflections, and possibilities."
--Deborah A. Gist, superintendent, Tulsa Public Schools, Oklahoma "This volume provides refreshing essays that mostly eschew the typical cheerleading or criticism of entrepreneurial efforts to improve America's schools, and instead offer competing ideas for how to tap the strengths of entrepreneurship in education and mitigate its risks."
--Jon Schnur, executive chairman, America Achieves Frederick M. Hess is director of education policy studies at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI). Michael Q. McShane is director of education policy at the Show-Me Institute and an adjunct fellow in education policy studies at AEI. Educational Entrepreneurship Today is a volume in the Educational Innovations series.
