O knihe

President Obama has on a number of occasions rejected policies that have been tried and
do not work. Legislation such as No Child Left Behind and policies such as Race to the
Top are neither effective nor based on sound research. Educational policy-making is
now, more than ever, the preserve of politicians, advocacy foundations, and lobbyists
parading as corporate leaders. Teachers have little voice; their role is merely to be held
responsible for policies foisted upon them.
In Transforming Schools: Alternative Perspectives on School Reform, our aim is to
provide alternative perspectives to the dead-end educational policies by which our
governments have become consumed. We turn the spotlight on a select range of topics
that have become the focus of concern and we consider the implications for school improvement. These topics include
school reform in general, the achievement gap, literacy, standardized assessment, social justice and ecojustice, aesthetic
and moral education, and general education.
