Rethinking School Reform: Views from the Classroom

Rating:
Summary: An excellent and insightful anthology
Review: The collaborative compilation of co-editors and education experts Linda Christensen and Stan Karp, Rethinking School Reform: Views From The Classroom presents a collection of informative and challenging essays from a variety of professional educators concerned with modern issues affecting public schools, including the importance of taking ethics, bias, and history seriously in one's curriculum (for example, acknowledging the genocidal slavery and slaughter that Columbus instigated), the practice of standardized testing and ways to correct its imbalance and slights with respect to minorities, and ways in which the present system can be reformed and promoted with the goal of equality and maximum opportunity. An excellent and insightful anthology, Rethinking School Reform is a welcome and recommended addition to Education Studies reference collections and reading lists.
