Comments by Richey regarding the formulation of John Goodlad’s involvement in the future of education in the US.

“American education is changing so rapidly and on so many fronts that analyses of change from the perspective of today are based upon data that will be incomplete next year. The reader will find the book’s value enhanced if he, too, attempts what the author of the final chapter has done so well-if he pulls together the strands that appear in the chapters of the book and interweaves them with other influences “which seem essential to understanding the impetuses for educational change, the conditions which determine the kinds and amount of change, and the bases for hope that education may become more responsive to the needs of our society and the individuals who compose it.” The Committee and the contributing authors have produced a timely, thought-provoking volume that will stand as a bench mark in the history of educational change in America.”
