Knowing Your Schools
Rowman & Littlefield (Verlag)
978-1-4758-6034-4 (ISBN)
This book identifies numerous conflicts within the field of education and provides the perspectives and information which stakeholders within the enterprise sweep aside or cover-up. An extensive data-base is used to demonstrate why existing policies and practices create unfair learning situations for our nation’s children, frequently described as our most valuable resource.
Policy-makers, both administrative and legislative, are caught in the middle; yet, they choose to avoid controversy by siding with educators. This book provides evidence of how the decision-making should be altered to achieve optimal learning in our North American schools.
Jim Dueck has had a career in education spanning forty years of service as a teacher, principal, superintendent, and deputy minister. He advised representatives from almost fifty education systems around the world, who sought suggestions regarding assessment and accountability in education, including the US government’s launching of the Race to the Top initiative and Common Core.
