Teru Clavel is a comparative international education specialist, speaker, and author. Her book World Class: One Mother's Journey Halfway Around the Globe in Search of the Best Education for Her Children, is a must-read for anyone interested in improving our education systems in the United States. Teru and I have a lively discussion about her experiences, what she learned about how different countries approach education, and the implications for our K-12 systems. Teru promised me a round two, and after you hear this conversation, you will know why I can't wait to have her back on the show. You can learn more about Teru and her work at www.teruclavel.com.
