Robert Archer Writes of South Carolina School Reform
SANTA CRUZ, Calif. (PRWEB) July 13, 2013 -- In his well-researched new book, “The Education of Richard Riley: A Case Study of Business Involvement in Education” (published by AuthorHouse), Robert Archer informs readers of the former South Carolina governor Richard Riley and his school reform program.
“The Education of Richard Riley” takes an in-depth look at South Carolina’s efforts to reform their failing public school system between 1983 and 1989. Archer identifies and discusses those measures that were sustainable and those that were not, along with the components that he believes are critical to the success of any school reform effort.
Unlike other books on this topic, “The Education of Richard Riley” focuses on the importance of business involvement in education reform and how this alliance can make a critical difference in the outcome and sustainability of education reform.
“After many years of working as an educator in this country, I became very interested in education reform and programs designed to improve our public education system,” Archer shares. “This book was a great way to incorporate my higher education background with my corporate experience, as this project focuses on the school-business partnership program started by Richard Riley during his time as the governor of South Carolina.”
