There's a battle going on in public education right now. Education reform is every politician's favorite new cause. But educators, the experts in teaching and learning, are being left out of the conversation. And true education reform cannot happen until we see the issues clearly. Edgy, funny and poignant, Kids, Classrooms, and Capitol Hill explores the issues, big and small, facing the key players in what sometimes feels like an impossible quest-- educating our nation's youth. So before you choose sides, read this book. Chances are you won't hear this point of view from people who are actually working in schools. If there's one thing educators are afraid of, it's that they'll say the wrong thing and tarnish their beloved profession. So they spout the party line and make nice, zealously guarding the truth and the reputations of their schools. But the truth is this: This thing called education is complicated, messy, excruciatingly difficult, humbling, humorous, aggravating, and fleetingly, rewarding.

While reformers and policymakers focus on achievement gaps, testing, and accountability, millions of students mentally and emotionally disengage from learning and many gifted teachers leave the field. Ironically, today’s schooling is damaging the single most essential component to education—the joy of learning How do we recognize the "wounds" caused by outdated schooling policies? How do we heal them? In her controversial new book, education writer and critic Kirsten Olson brings to light the devastating consequences of an educational approach that values conformity over creativity, flattens students’ interests, and dampens down differences among learners. Drawing on deeply emotional stories, Olson shows that current institutional structures do not produce the kinds of minds and thinking that society really needs. Instead, the system tends to shame, disable, and bore many learners. Most importantly, she presents the experiences of wounded learners who have healed and shows what teachers, parents, and students can do right now to help themselves stay healthy.

"Looking in Classrooms, a well-known and well-respected authoritative source, offers a class-tested examination of the means and ways teachers best develop into successful professionals. Specifically, this text synthesizes the growing knowledge base about teaching and provides research-based and reader-friendly summaries about effective classroom practices. Professors Thomas L. Good and Jere E. Brophy also enhance professional development by offering information, guidelines, and observational tools that enable teachers to become more reflective about their work and encourage them to seek feedback from colleagues and students." "Focusing on the basic and enduring attributes of the role of teachers, Looking in Classrooms emphasizes self-improvement and offers examples of outstanding classroom practices rather than merely suggesting "means of survival." Rich in examples and application suggestions, the book devotes particular attention to current issues, such as integrating traditional methods with constructivist, cooperative, and individualized learning methods; teaching classes of students who are heterogeneous in their achievement levels and cultural backgrounds; and collaborating with parents helping students who present chronic school adjustment problems."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

THE GAME OF SCHOOL--a new book that provides a radical insider's critique of the American public high school today, plus suggestions for meaningful change within the school system as it is, & a proposal for a radically new school system. American schools do not need more hours of school every day & more days of school every year with schools as they now are: training students to memorize information to be spit back on tests, thus laying the ground work for the pretense, boredom & cynicism that are central elements in the destructive game that is the norm. The need: schools that actively & meaningfully engage students in the process of their own learning, where the atmosphere is constructive, not destructive, & where there is a connection between academic pursuit & the world outside for which school is supposed to prepare students. This book is unique because it is written by a regular, long-haul teacher, because the perceptions of students are quoted throughout & because it provides meaningful answers. The author, Robert Tripp, was a high school social studies teacher, a Fulbright teacher in England, ran a graduate teacher program & was a Human Relations specialist for a major school system--a 30 year career.
