Book excerpt: The author presents a new model for education in which learning for students increasingly occurs in the world of adult expertise, with classroom teachers taking on the role of conduits that not only prepare students to learn from professionals working in various fields but also assist them in absorbing the advanced information and knowledge they will be acquiring. He examines how both the curiosity and the initiative of students can be stimulated by partnering local schools with the world of adult work and professional expertise. This tactic addresses issues of how to help students learn more effectively in the modern age and how to address inequities between different socioeconomic groupings.
