The War Against Excellence: The Rising Tide of Mediocrity in America's Middle Schools
ISBN: 9780275981167 / Angielski / Twarda / 296 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) Radical activists do not see the American middle school as an organization to impart academic knowledge, but as an instrument through which they can force social change. Yecke, an experienced teacher and administrator, shows how these activists have implemented their plans and endangered the education of all middle school children--especially those who are gifted. In 1983 A Nation at Risk declared, If an unfriendly foreign power had attempted to impose on America the mediocre educational performance that exists today, we might well have viewed it as an act of war.

ISBN: 9780306483790 / Angielski / Twarda / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych (dostawa przed świętami) We were motivated to edit this book when we began to hear stories of exceptional students who were struggling with reading, writing, or math, but who could solve seemingly any problem with computers, or build the most intricate structures with Legos, or could draw beautiful pictures, or could tell the most creative stories but ended up in tears when asked to write it out. How is it possible to have so much talent in some areas and yet to appear to have a disability in another? What resources are available for these students? How can we ensure that these students' abilities are nurtured and...
