Download or read book Inside Our Schools written by Brett Murphy and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this moving volume, successful and respected teachers from across the country reveal how recent top-down education policies have played out in their schools and classrooms in negative and counterproductive ways, and offer teacher-led alternatives for providing equitable, engaging, and empowering education. Framed by critical analyses of the major trends and policies enacted over the past fifteen years, Inside Our Schools adds to the understanding of unintended consequences of policy on classroom practice as well as the limits of current policies--uninformed by the actual conditions that teachers face--to improve teaching and learning. It also reveals the honest struggles of educators seeking to do the right thing for students in the face of enormous obstacles, underscoring the need to inject teacher voices and perspectives in education policy making going forward. "In this powerful collection, Brett Gardiner Murphy has gathered together an impressive group of teachers to reflect on the day-to-day challenges and joys of teaching within the current difficult sociopolitical context. Inside Our Schools provides sobering reflections of how our public schools have lost their way, and what needs to be done to restore hope and confidence in them. The book is a poignant reminder of the crucial role of public education in a democratic society." --Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, language, literacy, and culture, College of Education, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "What a relief--and how sadly unusual it is--to hear about education and reform from the people actually doing the educating. This book provides twenty-five sobering and enlightening accounts of teaching in our time, organized under five masterfully summarized themes. A valuable book for policy makers, practitioners, and parents." --Mike Rose, author of Possible Lives: The Promise of Public Education in America Brett Gardiner Murphy is the director of strategic projects at the Posse Foundation and a former New York City public school history teacher.

Download or read book Imagining the Future of Global Education written by Yong Zhao and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Imagining the Future of Global Education examines the Grand Educational Narrative (GEN) and the major institutions that shape and disseminate it. The book focuses on national visions of education and the imaginary futures that nations seek to make reality. It critiques how the GEN policy implementation process frequently turns dreams of upward mobility into nightmares. In this way, the book takes a distinctly different approach than most comparative and international education studies. Rather than being oriented toward the past and asking how education systems around the world ended up where they are, chapters in this volume seek an understanding of how various educational visions from around the world inform the present and shape the future. Following an introductory summary of important concepts from scholarship on "imaginary futures" and global education reform, the book is organized around three themes: "What Dreams are Made Of," illustrating, through three case studies, what the GEN looks like at the national level and how it operates across national boundaries; "A Dream within a Dream," considering some of the more novel trends in international education reform in order to provide insight into how dreams seem to function; and "Keeping Dreams from becoming Nightmares," comprising three thematic essays that describe trends in education policy in one or more countries. The book concludes with lessons for scholars and policymakers.

Download or read book Investing in Our Future written by Jeanne Amster and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 33 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since 1983, two waves of reform and analysis have swept through education in the United States. The literature from these reform efforts has probed some of the more complex reasons for the lack of achievement of the education system and called for many often-unrelated changes. However, the literature has not offered a cogent and integrated agenda for reforming education. In order to offer a plan to restructure the system as a whole rather than to tinker with single issues, the Aspen Institute convened two groups of educators, business representatives, and civic leaders in March and May 1989 to discuss the condition of and reform in education. These groups and three later groups of business leaders arrived at a consensus on the need for the following items: (1) clear and compelling national goals for public education; (2) sensible assessment of individual schools against local expressions of national goals; (3) a fundamental restructuring of the education system at all levels, usually including site-based management, a reaffirmation of the academic purpose of schooling, and an acknowledgment of a reasonable role of the school site for the delivery of social services to school-age children and their families; (4) business involvement in the development and sustenance of long-term, broad-based education reform coalitions at the community, state, and national levels; (5) harnessing technology for improving teaching, learning, and administration; (6) a commitment to improving the educational outcomes for all children, particularly for those children most at risk; and (7) strengthening and empowering teachers and school leaders.

Book excerpt: Praise for the previous edition: "...excellent...provide[s] timeless foundational information for those interested in the area of educational reform. Every academic library should have this volume."—American Reference Books Annual The effort to improve the quality, methods, and purpose of elementary and secondary schooling in the United States is known as education reform. This movement traces its origins to the inception of public schools—almost 150 years before the founding of the nation—and has both reflected and led social change in the United States. Americans widely agree that schools play an essential role in shaping the nation's future but disagree about education-related issues ranging from assimilation of immigrants and opportunity for the poor to the role of the federal government and the constitutional rights of parents and children. Today the debates on education reform center on teacher preparation and incentives, standardized testing, charter schools, homeschooling, school choice, class size, and discipline. As the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 reaches its 10-year anniversary, Americans are evaluating its nationwide impact on standards, accountability, curriculum, and failing schools. Education Reform, Revised Edition examines these and other complex issues surrounding this timely issue. Clear and logically organized, this revised volume helps students and researchers define, understand, and research this important topic. Coverage includes: Current developments regarding teacher incentives, curriculum standards, standardized tests, and homeschooling The goals and requirements of "Race to the Top," a $5 billion education grant program rolled out as part of the Obama administration's Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 Extracts from documents such as The Cardinal Principles of Secondary Education (1918), A Nation at Risk (1983), the 2002 U.S. Supreme Court ruling Zelman v. Simmons-Harris, and the U.S. Secretary of Education's overview of key policy provisions in the No Child Left Behind Act (2002) A concise survey of the events and major debates surrounding education reform in the United States, from earliest influences through the present Up-to-date statistics on charter school enrollment and operations.
