In this vital new book, the famed filmmaker tells how his passion for education reform led him to learn that there are five tested, indispensable keys to transforming Americas underperforming schools.I Got Schooled offers a look at Americas educational achievement gap that could only have come from an outsider.Famed director M. Night Shyamalan has long had a serious interest in education. The foundation he and his wife started once gave college scholarships to promising innercity students, but Shyamalan realized that these scholarships did nothing to improve education for all the other students in underperforming schools. When he learned that some schools were succeeding with similar student populations, he traveled across the country to find out how they did this and whether these schools had something in common. He eventually learned that there are five keys to closing Americas achievement gap. But just as we must do several things to maintain good health eat the right foods, exercise regularly, get a good nights sleepso too must we use all five keys to turn around our lowestperforming schools.These five keys are used by all the schools that are succeeding, and no schools are succeeding without them. Before he discovered them, Shyamalan investigated some popular reform ideas that proved to be dead ends, such as smaller class size, truculent unions, and merit pay for teachers. He found that the biggest obstacle to school reform is cognitive biases: too many wouldbe reformers have committed themselves to false solutions.This is a deeply personal book by an unbiased observer determined to find out what works and why so that we as a nation can fulfill our obligation to give every student an opportunity for a good education.
