Paperback. Condición: Good. When Nikhil Goyal was in high school, he wrote this book, One Size Does Not Fit All. It offers a groundbreaking prescription for transforming American schools. Drawing from hundreds of interviews with renowned thinkers like Howard Gardner, Seth Godin, Dan Pink, Noam Chomsky, Diane Ravitch, and Frank Bruni, he calls to radically redefine the way the country does schooling. From implementing an anti-disciplinary curriculum to reinventing the teaching profession, his propositions are timely and provocative. Goyal walks us through the tenets of the system, shattering claims dispersed in the education conversation. Goyal presses questions like, What if we tailored education to every single child?; What if students' voices were heard and students were seen as human beings, not numbers in a spreadsheet?; and What if school became an incubator of innovation and a bridge between the community and the world.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. All of us want to make sure that the educational opportunities that we provide our children are going to meet their needs and those of our society. But how to translate that goal into national policy and the real world of the classroom is hardly unanimous - largely because the translation is itself rooted in personal convictions and assumptions that are often without any solid empirical research support. We assume, for example, that classroom time that is not on task is really time wasted and that students will learn more if they were kept busy and focused every minute of the school day. The problem with this is that research (and even our own experience) shows that the on task assumption simply is not valid. In Ten Common Myths in American Education Mordechai Gordon, who is quickly establishing himself as one of the top Educational Foundations scholars in this country, directly examines ten such assumptions. He points out that all of them, despite their popularity and public acceptance, are grounded on thin or nonexistent research - and that they are effectively subverting the fundamental educational goal upon which we all agree. Ten Common Myths is a book that will open your eyes - whether you are an administrator, policy maker, teacher, parent, or student. It will help you begin to reevaluate what our schools really should be doing. And maybe, just maybe, the conversation will begin that will result in schools where the real needs of students and our society are actually met.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Imagine a future in which all people will be able to learn what and when they want, regardless of age--a future where learning can be life-long, where the old paradigms are torn away and we can intellectually roam and seek out as much knowledge, information, and experience as we wish, where we can both learn and teach according to our curiosity, needs, and knowledge. In most segments of society we are far from this future--but here and there, in vastly growing numbers, all around the world, people are actually living this future today. Creating Learning Communities is a landmark book that brings together a wealth of real-world information and innovative theoretical thinking on the present and future state of education. From homeschooling and distance learning to autodidactics and learning clubs, a wide variety of interesting ideas is presented here. From our children, for ourselves, for each other, and for our planet, a new kind of world is envisioned here--a world of true learning communities.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Over the last four decades, Jerry Mintz has quietly established himself as the backbone of the alternative education movement. While working with students within the traditional system and after school programs, starting schools in the United States and abroad, and founding the influential Alternative Education Resource Organization, Mintz has gained invaluable insight into the form and function and importance of putting power in the hands of children. After spending years highlighting the voices of other prominent figures, in School's Over: How to Have Freedom and Democracy in Education readers finally hear directly from Mintz, who outlines the components of successful democratic schools and how these schools change the lives of those involved. He shares memories from his journeys around the globe--from working with the Iroquois tribe to establish schools that would protect their language and culture, to opening up communication between Eastern and Western alternatives while witnessing the fall of the Soviet Union--and conversations with many well-known leaders, such as John Holt and Jonathan Kozol. Mintz has long been the connective tissue in this movement, tirelessly working in support of new schools, new ideas, and learner-centered education. Jerry Mintz has unparalleled experience of democratic education in all sorts of settings around the world. Under his direction, AERO has become the principal resource for parents, students, and educators everywhere who are looking for or practicing alternative forms of education. School's Over is part reportage, part memoir, and part manifesto for thinking differently about our children and acting differently in their education. -Sir Ken Robinson.…
