Opis

Democracy, social justice, and the development of well rounded individuals...these are among the historic purposes of public education. But what is becoming of these goals as federal- and state-mandated policies direct the curriculum more and more towards what is most easily measured in high-stakes testing? The contributors to this timely and informative collection aim to provide a deeper understanding of the meaning of education for democracy and social justice and to connect educators with a common vision for the schools and for teacher education.
