The final work from one of the most beloved voices in American education explores stories and lessons of transformative experiences in education

For more than a generation, American education has been structured as though it was built of and for concepts, not people. This has transformed education into a vast assessment, scoring, and ranking enterprise; a sales platform for high-tech entrepreneurs; and a fiercely competitive arena of advantage and status that grinds the poor and propels the middle class into debt.

In When the Light Goes On, educator Mike Rose features the stories of people of all ages and backgrounds to illuminate how education has added meaning to their lives. The inspiring stories include:

-A supermarket checker whose job wore away his soul takes a remedial math class that starts him on a path to

architecture school

-A young man badly injured in a motorcycle accident finds both rehabilitation and a career in a welding program.

-A transgender youth’s odyssey to self-definition extends though courses in social sciences and campus advocacy groups.

-A Native American athlete finds graduate study as a way to use her celebrity to articulate the needs of her people.

When the Light Goes On helps us dig through the discord and fragmentation of school politics and policy to reclaim the mind and heart of education. Through various students’ stories and his own, Rose provides an urgent reminder of the core purpose of education: to learn about ourselves and the world around us, to spark new interests, and to experience with guidance both the fulfillment and the uncertainty of exploring our limits—all in the service of creating a meaningful life.
