Practical Solutions to Public School Reform Detailed in New Book
San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 22, 2008 -- The Lights of El Milagro by Dr. Kevin Riley not only tells the story of Mueller Charter School's transformation, but it shares its template for success, which enables public schools across the nation to make essential changes in their educational strategies, exemplified by Mueller's Resiliency Quadrant System.
The principal of Mueller for the past eight years, Riley took advantage of the autonomy provided through California's charter law to make much-needed changes in a school that was once one of the lowest-achieving in San Diego County. His vision and efforts, along with those of his dedicated team, turned Mueller around so completely that it has been branded as "El Milagro"--the miracle.
Riley ably criticizes the public school system for its unwillingness to change despite evidence that many of the existing educational policies and practices do not work. The Lights of El Milagro provides innovative alternatives that will benefit not only every school, but also every child.
