Book Synopsis How to Fix the Schools by : Dr. Clifford Bebell
Download or read book How to Fix the Schools written by Dr. Clifford Bebell and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2013-11-08 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The educational system in the United States is broken, and it’s time to do something about it! In this guide, author Clifford Bebell, EdD, who taught at several universities, exposes major flaws in our schools and shows what can be done to improve them. He offers solutions aimed at fixing the system so that all students succeed. He outlines the most serious problems that prevent students from achieving, such as improper use of homework, the grading system, inadequate treatment of reading deficiencies, teaching as “telling,” and poor testing practices. What’s more, inertia, special interest groups, inadequate funding, and the sheer size of our school systems only make it harder to help students. All too often, we treat students the same—requiring them to learn in ways that are uncomfortable or inappropriate for their level of achievement. Meanwhile, higher-achieving students are forced to simply wait while others catch up. Whether you are a parent, teacher, administrator, policy maker or citizen, you can find new ideas and practical approaches for improving education for all students in this detailed analysis. Discover what the future of education should look like in How to Fix the Schools.

Book Synopsis The American Dream and the Public Schools by : Jennifer L. Hochschild
Download or read book The American Dream and the Public Schools written by Jennifer L. Hochschild and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-10-21 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Examines desegregation, school funding, testing, vouchers, bilingual education, multicultural education, and ability grouping. These seem to be separate problems, but much of the contention over them comes down to the same thing: an apparent conflict between policies designed to promote each student's ability to pursue success and those designed to insure the good of all students or the nation as a whole. The authors show how polices to promote individual success too often benefit only those already privileged by race or class. The book also examines issues such as creationism and afrocentrism.
Book Synopsis What's Wrong with Our Schools by : Michael C. Zwaagstra
Download or read book What's Wrong with Our Schools written by Michael C. Zwaagstra and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2010-07-16 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What's Wrong with Our Schools and How We Can Fix Them examines the status of public education in North America and exposes many of the absurd instructional practices found in all-too-many schools. Written by three experienced educators, this book provides readers with a direct window into public education. The language is straightforward, the case studies based on real events, and the research evidence clearly presented. With chapter titles like, 'Subject Matter Matters,' 'A Pass Should be Earned,' and 'There is Too Much Edu-Babble,' the authors systematically demolish the ridiculous fads that have taken hold of public education. As unashamed apologists for the importance of knowledge and content in school curricula, the authors clearly show why the views of romantic progressives, like those of popular author Alfie Kohn, fail to stand up to rigorous scrutiny. A consistent focus on common sense permeates this book and provides parents, teachers, and administrators with practical ways in which they can help improve public education. Anyone interested in the future of public education will benefit from reading this book. For more information, visit www.fixingourschools.com.

Book Synopsis Designing School Systems for All Students by : Robert J. Manley
Download or read book Designing School Systems for All Students written by Robert J. Manley and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2009-12-16 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designing School Systems for All Students provides a clear methodology for school leaders, teachers, and school board members to follow as they redesign their schools for the benefit of students. The authors demonstrate how school leaders set the expectations for all students to learn and grow as important contributors to the culture. In the effective schools that the authors describe, students deliver performances, discuss and conduct important inquiries, and lead profound learning activities. The book explains how curriculum can be redesigned to engage students in advanced cognitive and social and emotional development. Additionally, several barriers to great schools that include assessment practices, false testing procedures, poor governance, ineffective leadership and staff development are described in stark detail. Throughout the book are examples of effective practices that make it possible for all students to prosper in school. This book is filled with practical ideas that are compiled into a toolkit to fix America's schools.
Book Synopsis Fixing Urban Schools by : Paul T. Hill
Download or read book Fixing Urban Schools written by Paul T. Hill and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2010-12-01 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every year, in one out of three big cities, the school superintendent leaves his or her job, sending local community leaders back to square one. Cleveland, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., are struggling to recreate their failed school systems, and many more cities are likely to follow. City leaders need more than new superintendents. They need stable reform strategies strong enough to move an entrenched system. Unfortunately, it is not clear where they can turn for help. Education experts are deeply divided about whether teacher retraining or new standards are enough to reform a struggling city system, or whether more fundamental changes, such as family choice and family-run schools, are needed. Based on new research, this book identifies the essential elements of reform strategies that can transform school performance in big cities beset by poverty, social instability, racial isolation, and labor unrest. It also suggests ways that local leaders can assemble the necessary funding and political support to make such strategies work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The intent of this book is to look at our educational system as it currently works and to evaluate not only why this system is broken, but also how we might move forward, together, to fix it.So, how do we fix our failing schools? We begin by finally taking the educator out from behind the desk and bring them to the table to share in the decisions and solutions regarding what is happening in our schools. It is time to part the curtains on our public school system and show you the villains, the heroes, the talented, and the not so talented. It is time to give you a behind the scenes view of our educational stage.
