All Together Now : Creating Middle Class Schools Through Public School Choice
ISBN: 9780815748113 / Angielski / Miękka / 390 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. This provocative book asks a simple question: since we know that middle class schools tend to work best, why not give every child in America the opportunity to attend a public school in which the majority of students come from middle class households? Economically integrated schools, the author argues, will do far more to promote achievement and equal opportunity than vouchers, standards, class size reduction, or any of the other leading education proposals on the left and right that seek to make "separate but equal" schools work. Building on two recent education trends --the decline in...

Mismatch: How Affirmative Action Hurts Students It's Intended to Help, and Why Universities Won't Admit It
ISBN: 9780465029969 / Angielski / Twarda / 348 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The debate over affirmative action has raged for over four decades, with little give on either side. Most agree that it began as noble effort to jump-start racial integration; many believe it devolved into a patently unfair system of quotas and concealment. Now, with the Supreme Court set to rule on a case that could sharply curtail the use of racial preferences in American universities, law professor Richard Sander and legal journalist Stuart Taylor offer a definitive account of what affirmative action has become, showing that while the objective is laudable, the effects have been...

This is reflected in the number of students who do not graduate or take five or more years to do so. Further, we find that recent high school graduates cannot obtain employment because they lack the necessary skills and knowledge required in today's job environment. Many of these skills and knowledge should be taught in our schools. The sorry state of education in the U.S. is also reflected in the hundreds of articles appearing daily in newspapers, journals, and magazines that find fault with our education...

Common Core: Passing the Test?
ISBN: 9781512377125 / Angielski / Miękka / 200 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The supposed decay in public education, whereby the United States is declining rapidly and falling behind other industrial nations, has been blamed on bad teaching and the lack of common and consistent standards.

These tests are positioned as next generation assessments.

The Normal Accident Theory of Education : Why Reform and Regulation Won't Make Schools Better
ISBN: 9781475806571 / Angielski / Twarda / 146 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Much of the current debate about education too often resembles the blind men describing an elephant--apprehending only a particular part of the situation or the process, many analysts tell an evocative but incomplete story. The so-called 'reform' discussion proceeds with a lack of depth about the nuances and realistic limitations in the institutional order of school. This book argues that as regulation of schools moves further up the bureaucratic hierarchy (first to state departments of education then to the national department of education) the legal and institutional requirements get more...

Political Will and Improving Public Schools : Seven Reflections for Americans to Consider
ISBN: 9781475805468 / Angielski / Twarda / 122 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The essays in this book deal with situations or issues in public education which we need to address. While some of these situations seem clear and almost obvious, making the necessary changes and admitting the truth to ourselves is not necessarily going to happen easily. The suggestions for education made here will require that Americans admit certain flaws in the system, some of which involve their own actions and attitudes. They will also have to be willing to make sacrifices for the larger good, such as allowing shifts in power and control. In other words, these changes will require...
