Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A trenchant analysis of how public education is being destroyed in overt and deceptive ways—and how to fight back In the “vigorous, well-informed” (Kirkus Reviews) A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door, the co-hosts of the popular education podcast Have You Heard expose the potent network of conservative elected officials, advocacy groups, funders, and think tanks that are pushing a radical vision to do away with public education. “Cut[ing] through the rhetorical fog surrounding a host of free-market reforms and innovations” (Mike Rose), Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire lay bare the dogma of privatization and reveal how it fits into the current context of right-wing political movements. A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door “goes above and beyond the typical explanations” (SchoolPolicy.org), giving readers an up-close look at the policies—school vouchers, the war on teachers’ unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and more—driving the movement’s agenda. Called “well-researched, carefully argued, and alarming” by Library Journal, this smart, essential book has already incited a public reckoning on behalf of the millions of families served by the American educational system—and many more who stand to suffer from its unmaking. “Just as with good sci-fi,” according to Jacobin, “the authors make a compelling case that, based on our current trajectory, a nightmare future is closer than we think.”

This book was released on 2018-01-09 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “If you read only one book on educating children, this should be the book.… With a warm, informative voice, Bauer gives you the knowledge that will help you flex the educational model to meet the needs of your child.” —San Francisco Book Review Our K–12 school system isn’t a good fit for all—or even most—students. It prioritizes a single way of understanding the world over all others, pushes children into a rigid set of grades with little regard for individual maturity, and slaps “disability” labels on differences in learning style. Caught in this system, far too many young learners end up discouraged. This informed, compassionate, and practical guidebook will show you how to take control of your child’s K–12 experience and negotiate the school system in a way that nurtures your child’s mind, emotions, and spirit. Understand why we have twelve grades, and why we match them to ages. Evaluate your child’s maturity, and determine how to use that knowledge to your advantage. Find out what subject areas we study in school, why they exist—and how to tinker with them. Discover what learning disabilities and intellectual giftedness are, how they can overlap, how to recognize them, and how those labels can help (or hinder) you. Work effectively with your child’s teachers, tutors, and coaches. Learn to teach important subjects yourself. Challenge accepted ideas about homework and standardized testing. Help your child develop a vision for the future. Reclaim your families’ priorities (including time for eating together, playing, imagining, traveling, and, yes, sleeping!). Plan for college—or apprenticeships. Consider out-of-the-box alternatives.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Once again, Phil Schlechty demonstrates why I consider him to be one of the clearest minds in American education. He knows how important public education is to our democracy and has real ideas for making it better. This book is a must-read for policymakers at any level and for those who think and care about school improvement." --Paul D. Houston, executive director, American Association of School Administrators "Schlechty shares leading-edge insights and offers practical guidance to anyone who affects student learning. His suggestions are wonderful dialogue starters for educators searching for ways to make dramatic improvement in schools." --Dennis Sparks, executive director, National Staff Development Council In this visionary book, renowned educator Phillip Schlechty argues for change-adept school systems. He not only challenges educational administrators, teachers, teacher leaders, legislators, and policymakers to recognize the need for transformation, but also shows how they can grow into skillful leaders of lasting change. Shaking Up the Schoolhouse begins with an incisive discussion of the dangers and opportunities in reworking school systems. Drawing from decades of experience and from actual cases, the author describes the essential characteristics of change-adept organizations. He then presents a practical framework for helping teachers to overcome obstacles in the learning experience, from reviewing the competition to improving student engagement through more effective standards. Schlechty also focuses on empowering principals, superintAndents, and school board members as they struggle with structural and cultural change in their schools and communities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schoolhouse Meeting: Conveniences and Labor Saving Devices for the Farm Home One of the chief causes of the apparent selfishness and ih considerateness of really good men in allowing their wives to wear out their lives hoisting and carrying water and working without modern conveniences in the homes is the fact that these men do not realize that this labor can be avoided or greatly re duced by the wise expenditure of a comparatively small sum of money. Very. Few men or women know what conveniences and labor saving devices are possible at small expense in the farm home. The purpose of this discussion is to show what some of these possibilities are and how the conveniences can be secured at the least cost. This discussion is important not only for every farm woman, but for every farmer who loves his'wife and values her own and his own health, efficiency and happiness. The vast majority of farm women are run down and not well a good part of their l1yes. This is unnecessary. Let us learn how to prevent it. A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Schoolhouse Meeting: Conveniences and Labor Saving Devices for the Farm Home Fellow Teacher and Fellow Citizens: The progressive farmer no longer cuts his grain with a cradle or does all his cultivating with hoes and old-fashioned plows; he has better and more efficient implements for his work. The new farm machinery lightens his labor and increases his crop. How about the farmer's wife? Does she have her labor lightened? Are her important duties of housekeeper and mother made easier, and is her efficiency increased by improved household equipment? Not long ago the Smith-Lever Bill was passed by Congress, appropriating funds for carrying on extension work in Agriculture, including the work in the farnl home. In order to learn how to wisely spend that part of the money which was to be used for the farm home, the United States Department of Agriculture sent 55, 000 letters to representative farm homes of the United States asking for suggestions from farm women as to their greatest needs and the best methods of supplying them. Only 2,241 answers were received. Among the suggestions given in these answers were such as these: "provide for farm women better opportunities for domestic science education," "publish more literature and bulletins on home sanitation and health," "send demonstrators to teach right ways of preparing foods"; but most frequent of all was the suggestion, "show us some way to do our home work better and without such an unceasing round of back-breaking water-toting, washing, cooking and cleaning up from before day till after dark." Undoubtedly the farm home has not had its share of the money spent for improvements on the farm. Improvements in the home are usually put off until a time when money will be abundant, but the days, months, and years drag by, and no such time ever comes. Frequently when the spare cash has come, it has been invested in additional land, which necessitated more help and increased still further the wifes burdens without providing her with any of the conveniences that lessen her physical drudgery and give her some spare time to make her home life attractive and to train up her children properly.
