Time Out Productions presents an extended interview with Charlotte Iserbyt covering the time she spent working the Dept. of Education during Reagan's first term in the White House.

This is an extended interview of what is in the upcoming documentary film "Charlotte Iserbyt: Societies Secrets."

Charlotte Iserbyt is the consummate whistleblower! Iserbyt served as Senior Policy Advisor in the Office of Educational Research and Improvement (OERI), U.S. Department of Education, during the first Reagan Administration, where she first blew the whistle on a major technology initiative which would control curriculum in America's classrooms. Iserbyt is a former school board director in Camden, Maine and was co-founder and research analyst of Guardians of Education for Maine (GEM) from 1978 to 2000. She has also served in the American Red Cross on Guam and Japan during the Korean War, and in the United States Foreign Service in Belgium and in the Republic of South Africa. Iserbyt is a speaker and writer, best known for her 1985 booklet Back to Basics Reform or OBE: Skinnerian International Curriculum and her 1989 pamphlet Soviets in the Classroom: America's Latest Education Fad which covered the details of the U.S.-Soviet and Carnegie-Soviet Education Agreements which remain in effect to this day. She is a freelance writer and has had articles published in Human Events, The Washington Times, The Bangor Daily News, and included in the record of Congressional hearings.

  • I'm so grateful that I found Charlotte Iserbyt and John Taylor Gatto!!! I have always HATED school and now I know why!!!

  • I am no longer a full time teacher...after 25 years....just direct musicals now...and plays in private schools... My plan is to have a HomeSchool business in neighborhoods..as the economy tanks. Still deciding on my business plan..but will organize parents, communities and neighborhoods into Homeschools...it's the wave of the future....and there are great curriculums out there, that tell students the truth, and teach them what they will need to know...
