He does so by defining basic values of modernity and then considering curricular principles pertinent to them. The principles he favors are powers of the mind--disciplines...It is one thing to lament the financial pressures put on universities, quite another to face up to the poverty of resources for thinking about what... |

ISBN: 9780226500713 / Angielski / Miękka / 2001 / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. American high schools have never been under more pressure to reform: student populations are more diverse than ever, resources are limited, and teachers are expected to teach to high standards for all students. While many reformers look for change at the state or district level, the authors here argue that the most local contexts-schools, departments, and communities-matter the most to how well teachers perform in the classroom and how satisfied they are professionally. Their findings-based on one of the most extensive research projects ever done on secondary teaching-show that departmental...
