National Network for Educational Renewal  

Definition

  • The National Network for Educational Renewal (NNER) grew out of the work of the internationally recognized educator John Goodlad and the Center for Educational Renewal, which Goodlad and his colleagues established at the University of Washington in 1985. The underlying argument of both the NNER and the Center for Educational Renewal is based on Goodlad's 1985 book A Place Called School, which begins with the statement that “American schools are in trouble” and ends with a call for re-envisioning the purpose of American education.
