Book excerpt: Award-winning education journalist Peg Tyre mines up-to-the-minute research to equip parents with the tools and knowledge necessary to get their children the best education possible We all know that the quality of education served up to our children in U.S. schools ranges from outstanding to shockingly inadequate. How can parents tell the difference? And how do they make sure their kids get what's best? Even the most involved and informed parents can feel overwhelmed and confused when making important decisions about their child's education. And the scary truth is that evaluating a school based on test scores and college admissions data is like selecting a car based on the color of its paint. Synthesizing cutting-edge research and firsthand reporting, Peg Tyre offers parents far smarter and more sophisticated ways to assess a classroom and decide if the school and the teacher have the right stuff. Passionate and persuasive, The Good School empowers parents to make sense of headlines; constructively engage teachers, administrators, and school boards; and figure out the best option for their child—be that a local public school, a magnet program, a charter school, homeschooling, parochial, or private.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The design of school curriculums involves deep thought about the nature of knowledge and its value to learners and society. It is a serious responsibility that raises a number of questions. What is knowledge for? What knowledge is important for children to learn? How do we decide what knowledge matters in each school subject? And how far should the knowledge we teach in school be related to academic disciplinary knowledge? These and many other questions are taken up in What Should Schools Teach? The blurring of distinctions between pedagogy and curriculum, and between experience and knowledge, has served up a confusing message for teachers about the part that each plays in the education of children. Schools teach through subjects, but there is little consensus about what constitutes a subject and what they are for. This book aims to dispel confusion through a robust rationale for what schools should teach that offers key understanding to teachers of the relationship between knowledge (what to teach) and their own pedagogy (how to teach), and how both need to be informed by values of intellectual freedom and autonomy. This second edition includes new chapters on Chemistry, Drama, Music and Religious Education, and an updated chapter on Biology. A revised introduction reflects on emerging discourse around decolonizing the curriculum, and on the relationship between the knowledge that children encounter at school and in their homes.

" Exploring Characteristics of an Effective Elementary School with High-Needs Students in a Mid-Sized, Urban School District in Southeast Texas." Doctor of Education Thesis, University of Houston, May 2011. The Effective schools research of the 1970s and early 1980s led to the establishment of the Seven Correlates of Effective Schools. The correlates are based on commonalities found in schools with a majority population of poor and ethnically diverse students, who are successful on standardized assessments. In this study, the researcher's objectives were to: (1) identify characteristics that contribute to the effectiveness of an elementary school with high-needs students in an urban school district in Southeast Texas; (2) analyze data to determine if the characteristics found correspond to the Seven Correlates of Effective Schools, and (3) discover implications (if any) that the characteristics found may have toward improving the effectiveness of other elementary schools. The researcher conducted an exploratory, qualitative case study of East Elementary School during the 2010-2011 school year. Tools used to gather data for this case study included: open-ended interviews, participant observations, an on-line survey, descriptive statistics, school artifacts and archival records. The most dominant characteristics found at East ES that contribute to its success are the sense of community and high expectations held by all staff. These two characteristics influenced all other characteristics. Strong leadership, a safe and secure environment, time on task and frequent monitoring/feedback were strengths found at East ES. A strong mission statement and parental involvement were not significant characteristics found at East. Implications for practice include changing hiring and retention practices, implementing professional development activities and recommending campus self-reflection activities based on the research findings. Recommendations for further research include investigating the effect of affective attributes and staff stability and experience on student achievement. Research is needed to explore the establishment of common goals and a climate of high expectations. After the implementation of the new state common assessment, the STAAR, a follow-up study at East ES would determine if the characteristics found that aided in their effectiveness on the TAKS assessment transfer to the new state assessment.
