DESCRIPTION:Parents and politicians routinely bemoan the state of America’s education system\, and not without reason&#058 Statistics suggest our students have fallen behind the rest of the world in literacy\, math\, and sciences. But Salman Khan has a radical vision toward an inspiring solution—a free world-class education for anyone\, anywhere—and a track record of uncommon success&#058 The former engineer/hedge-fund analyst rocketed to fame after posting videos on the Internet to help his 12-year-old cousin pass a math test. Since then\, his 3\,000+ videos—explaining long division\, plate tectonics\, and more—have been viewed more than 200 million times\, making Khan the go-to expert on connecting with children in the digital age\, and driving him to found the revolutionary Khan Academy\, whose free videos and software are used by millions of students\, parents\, and teachers around the world. In his new book\, The One World Schoolhouse\, Khan explains the roots of America’s education crisis\, and why a return to “mastery learning”— liberating teachers from lecturing and state-mandated calendars and opening up class time for truly human interaction—could offer the best opportunity to give all of our children a world-class education. Presented as part of the Town Hall Civics series with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series supported by The Boeing Company\, the RealNetworks Foundation\, and the True/Brown Foundation.
