Dr. Fischler's Model for Transformation of Existing Schools

Dr. Fischler described his vision for transformation of existing schools (both public and private).

He describes in a series of three videos (recorded in 2009) how to engage the community, teachers, parents and students in the transformation.

In these videos, he presents the problem and the solution (in two parts, A and B).

The book is a series of quotations and commentaries designed to shift the reader's perspective from the traditional school structures (designed for industrial and agrarian societies) to the age of a global economy, called the Conceptual Age (by Dan Pink, A Whole New Mind).  For more about the shift in mindset that is needed to transform education, see DanPink.com.
