Publisher's Synopsis
Twelve years ago, Dr. Keith Verner walked away from an established career as a tenured research scientist and began to pursue his passion for improving American K-12 science education. His quest to enrich children's lives through hands on science education brought him from the lab to the classroom to the halls of Congress, and his efforts have given thousands of students around the country access to excellent science instruction. In this book, part memoir and part call to action, Dr. Verner tells the story of his transformation from scientist to education reform leader and details the steps we must take to support American youth in a future where scientific literacy will be a requirement for success.
