A wonderfully useful, hones and comprehensive book, one which does not oversimplify the condition and the opportunities of the public schools. --Theodore R. Sizer, chairman, Coalition of Essential Schools Based on an extensive, in-depth study of 150 students from across the country, Kids and School Reform offers a student perspective on schools that are transforming themselves. Using extended vignettes and the actual voices and stories of five students who differ in personality, economic and personal circumstances, and academic achievement, the authors show how reform efforts affect kids and what changes matter the most. The five high schools studied are part of the Coalition of Essential Schools.
Seeing Through Teachers' Eyes
Professional Ideals and Classroom Practices
AvKaren Hammerness,Patricia a. Wasley
Häftad, Engelska, 2006

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
What sources of inspiration help sustain teachers' commitments, motivations, and care for their work? How do teachers use their ideals to inform their practice and their learning? The author proposes that many teachers have images of ideal classroom practice which she calls ""teachers' vision."" In this book, Karen Hammerness uses vision to shed light on the complex relationship between teachers' ideals and the realities of school life. Through the compelling stories of four teachers, she reveals how teacher educators can help new teachers articulate, develop, and sustain their visions and assist them as they navigate the gap between their visions and their daily work. She shows us how vision can: illuminate those emotional and passionate moments in the classroom that enrich and enliven their work as teachers; explain what teachers learn about their students, their teaching, and their schools; and reveal why some teachers choose to stay in teaching and others leave the profession.
Teaching the Way Children Learn
AvBeverly Falk,Patricia a. Wasley
Häftad, Engelska, 2009
325 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This inspiring book reveals the invisible inner landscapes of how educators teach children from a variety of backgrounds to meet the challenging expectations of today's standards without sacrificing support for their developmental needs or their diverse ways of learning. Featuring 'images of possibility' from an urban school, it describes effective, child-centered teaching in pre-K through fifth grade. Each image is analyzed for the educational decisions that took place to make the experience effective, including the planning involved, the classroom environment and routines that supported it, how standards were addressed, how the teacher assessed student learning to shape instruction, and the impact on students. This practical resource is a must-read for pre- and in-service teachers and anyone committed to helping inner-city children succeed in school and beyond.
Managing to Change
How Schools Can Survive (and Sometimes Thrive) in Turbulent Times
AvThomas Hatch,Patricia a. Wasley
Häftad, Engelska, 2009
339 kr
Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book shows how school improvement efforts are often undermined by the changing conditions around schools, as well as by some of the very policies and programs designed to help them make improvements. Hatch argues that schools cannot wait around for conditions to improve or policymakers to figure out how to provide the 'right' support. Schools need to create the conditions for their own success. To help them accomplish that, the author describes a small set of key practices that schools can use to get resources, manage external demands, and build their capacity to make and sustain improvements over time.

Linking Professionalism and Accountability
AvJennifer Goldstein,Patricia a. Wasley

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
This book examines a policy that is one of the most powerful levers to improve teaching quality and advance teaching as a profession. Jennifer Goldstein presents the story of Rosemont, an urban district in California that created ""professional accountability"" with peer assistance and review (PAR), an alternative approach to teacher evaluation in which expert teachers evaluate their teacher peers. It challenges a number of long-held beliefs and practices in education-- adversarial labor relations, ""being nice,"" hierarchy, isolation, and negligence--to achieve very different teacher evaluation outcomes. This timely and accessible volume: Chronicles a rare case of a teacher union and school district partnering to improve teacher quality and teacher evaluation. Presents the most detailed study of PAR implementation, including its processes, challenges, and outcomes. Summarizes the state of PAR implementation across the country in an afterword by Susan Moore Johnson.
