The
Best Schools: How Human Development Research Should Inform Educational
Practice. Thomas Armstrong, $26.50
While most of the dialogue in education
today is about accountability, standardized testing, and adequate
yearly progress, the truth is that student success is deeply connected

that are academically engaging and developmentally appropriate.
Now here's a book that looks at these schools and highlights the
similarities of their programs. Discover how these schools help
their students reach their true potential by using an approach to
education that includes:
- An emphasis on play for early childhood
learning
- Theme- and project-based learning
for elementary school students
- Active learning that recognizes the
social, emotional, and cognitive needs of adolescents in middle
schools
- Mentoring, apprenticeships, and cooperative
education for high school students
Explore learning settings, pedagogical
tools, and instructional approaches that any school can adopt to
inspire students of all ages to discover their passion for learning. |

Building School 2.0: How to Create the Schools We Need.
Chris Lehmann & Zac Chase, $33.95
There is a growing desire to re-examine education and
learning. Educators use the phrase "school 2.0" to think about what
schools will look like in the future. Moving beyond a basic examination of
using technology for classroom instruction, Building School 2.0 is
a larger discussion of how education, learning, and our physical school spaces
can — and should — change because of the changing nature of our lives brought on by
these technologies.
Each section of Building School 2.0 presents
a thesis designed to help educators and administrators to examine specific
practices in their schools, and to then take their conclusions from theory to
practice. Collectively, the theses represent a new vision of school, built off
of the best of what has come before us, but with an eye toward a future we
cannot fully imagine. |

The Classrooms All Young Children
Need: Lessons in Teaching from Vivian Paley. Patricia Cooper,
$33.50
Teacher and author Vivian Paley is highly regarded for her original
insights into such seemingly everyday issues as play, story, gender,
and how young children think. She is also recognized for exposing
racism and exclusion in the early childhood classroom. In The Classrooms All Young Children Need, Patricia Cooper takes a synoptic view of Paley’s many books and articles, charting
the evolution of Paley’s thinking while revealing the seminal
characteristics of her teaching philosophy. This careful analysis
leads Cooper to identify a pedagogical model organized around two
complementary principles: a curriculum that promotes play and imagination,
and the idea of classrooms as fair places where young children
of every color, ability, and disposition are welcome. With timely
attention paid to debates about the reduction in time for play
in the early childhood classroom, the role of race in education,
and No Child Left Behind, The
Classrooms All Young Children Need will be embraced by anyone
tasked with teaching our youngest pupils. |

children.

education system, The End of Ignorance shows how we all
can work together to reinvent the way that we are taught. |

For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood... and the Rest
of Y'all Too: Reality Pedagogy and Urban Education. Christopher Emdin,
$22.00
Drawing on his own experience of feeling undervalued and
invisible in classrooms as a young man of color and merging his experiences
with more than a decade of teaching and researching in urban America,
award-winning educator Christopher Emdin offers a new lens on an approach to
teaching and learning in urban schools. He begins by taking to task the
perception of urban youth of color as un-teachable, and he challenges educators
to embrace and respect each student’s culture and to re-imagine the classroom
as a site where roles are reversed and students become the experts in their own
learning.
Putting forth his theory of Reality Pedagogy, Emdin
provides practical tools to unleash the brilliance and eagerness of youth and
educators alike — both of whom have been typecast and stymied by outdated modes
of thinking about urban education. With this fresh and engaging new pedagogical
vision, Emdin demonstrates the importance of creating a family structure and
building communities within the classroom, using culturally relevant strategies
like hip-hop music and call-and-response, and connecting the experiences of
urban youth to indigenous populations globally. Merging real stories with
theory, research, and practice, Emdin demonstrates how by implementing the
“Seven C’s” of reality pedagogy in their own classrooms, urban youth of color
benefit from truly transformative education.
Lively, accessible, and revelatory, For White Folks
Who Teach in the Hood...and the Rest of Y’all Too is the much-needed
antidote to traditional top-down pedagogy and promises to radically reframe the
landscape of urban education for the better. |

I Learn from Children: an Adventure in Progressive
Education. Caroline Pratt, $23.50
A century ago, the American educator Caroline Pratt
created an innovative school that she hoped would produce independent thinkers,
by asking herself a question: "Was it unreasonable to try to fit the
school to the child, rather than... the child to the school?" A
strong-willed, small-town schoolteacher who ran a one-room schoolhouse by the
time she was seventeen, Pratt came to viscerally reject the teaching methods of
her day, which often featured a long-winded teacher at the front of the room
and rows of miserable children, on benches nailed to the floor, stretching to
the back.
In this classic 1948 memoir, now in its fourth edition, Pratt recounts, in a
wry voice much closer to Will Rogers than John Dewey, how she founded what is
now the dynamic City and Country School in New York City; invented the maple
"unit blocks" that have become a staple in classrooms and children's
homes around the globe; and came to play an important role in reimagining
preschool and primary-school education in ways that resound in the tumultuously
creative age before us. This edition features a new introduction by Ian
Frazier, as well as additional commentary, and an afterword. |

The Rose that Grew from Concrete: Teaching and Learning
with Disenfranchised Youth. Diane Wishart, $24.95 
Quality of education is a topic as important to Canadians as
national health care, but what happens when students start to fall between the
cracks in the system? As part of her research for The Rose that Grew from
Concrete, Diane Wishart interviewed many at-risk students in an urban high
school, including a number of aboriginal students. What Wishart discovered
weren't statistics, but teens and their experiences, needs, and personalities.
The qualitative analysis that comes from these interviews doesn't supply a
blueprint to fix the educational system. However, it does give a fresh,
objective viewpoint for policy makers, scholars, teachers, and the general
public to consider. |

The Same Thing Over and Over: How School Reformers Get Stuck in Yesterday’s Ideas. Frederick Hess, $30.95
In this genial and challenging overview of endless debates over school reform, Rick Hess shows that even bitter opponents in debates about how to improve schools agree on much more than they realize — and that much of it must change radically.
Most educators and advocates take many things for granted. The one-teacher–one-classroom model. The professional full-time teacher. Students grouped in age-defined grades. The nine-month calendar. Top-down local district control. All were innovative and exciting — in the nineteenth century. As Hess shows, the system hasn’t changed since most Americans lived on farms and in villages, since school taught you to read, write, and do arithmetic, and since only the elite went to high school, let alone college.
Arguing that a fundamentally nineteenth century system can’t be right for a twenty-first century world, Hess suggests that uniformity gets in the way of quality, and urges us to create a much wider variety of schools, to meet a greater range of needs for different kinds of talents, needed by a vastly more complex and demanding society. |

Schooling the Next Generation: Creating Success in
Urban Elementary Schools. Dan Zuberi, $32.95
Public schools are among the most important institutions
in North American communities, especially in disadvantaged urban
neighbourhoods. At their best, they enable students to overcome challenges like
poverty by providing vital literacy and numeracy skills. At their worst, they
condemn students to failure, both economically and in terms of preparing them
to be active participants in a democratic society.
In Schooling the Next Generation, Dan Zuberi
documents the challenges facing ten East Vancouver elementary schools in
diverse lower-income communities, as well as the ways their principals,
teachers, and parents are overcoming these challenges. Going beyond the façade
of standardized test scores, Zuberi identifies the kinds of school and
community programs that are making a difference and could be replicated in
other schools. At the same time, he calls into question the assumptions behind
a test score-driven search for “successful schools.” Focusing on early literacy
and numeracy skills mastery, Schooling the Next Generation presents
a slate of policy recommendations to help students in urban elementary schools
achieve their full potential. |

Teach Like Finland: 33 Simple Strategies for Joyful
Classrooms. Timothy Walker, $34.95
How does Finnish education — with short school days, light
homework loads, and little standardized testing — produce students who match the
PISA scores of high-powered, stressed-out kids in Asia?
When Timothy Walker started teaching fifth graders at a
Helsinki public school, he began a search for the secrets behind the successes
of Finland’s schools. Walker wrote about several of those discoveries, and his
Atlantic articles on this subject became hot topics of conversation. Here, he
gathers all he learned and reveals how any teacher can implement many of
Finland's best practices. Remarkably, Finland is prioritizing the joy of
learning in its newest core curricula and Walker carefully highlights specific
strategies that support joyful K-12 classrooms and integrate seamlessly with
educational standards in the United States.
From incorporating brain breaks to offering a peaceful
learning environment, this book pulls back the curtain on the joyful teaching
practices of the world's most lauded school system. His message is simple but
profound: these Finland-inspired strategies can be used in the U.S. and other
countries. No educator — or parent of a school-aged child — will want to miss out
on the message of joy and change conveyed in this book. |

The Theatre of Urban: Youth and Schooling in Dangerous
Times. Kathleen Gallagher, $30.95 
Because of its powerful socializing effects, the school has
always been a site of cultural, political, and academic conflict. In an age
where terms such as hard-to-teach, and at-risk beset our pedagogical
discourses, where students have grown up in systems plagued by anti-immigrant,
anti-welfare, zero-tolerance rhetoric, how we frame and understand the dynamics
of classrooms has serious ethical implications and powerful consequences. Using
theatre and drama education as a special window into school life in four urban
secondary schools in Toronto and New York City, The Theatre of Urban examines the ways in which these schools reflect the cultural and political
shifts in big city North American schooling policies, politics, and practices
of the early twenty-first century.
Resisting facile comparisons of Canadian and American
schooling systems, Kathleen Gallagher opts instead for a rigorous analysis of
the context-specific features, both the differences and similarities, between
urban cultures and urban schools in the two countries. Gallagher re-examines
familiar urban issues facing these schools, such as racism, classism,
(hetero)sexism, and religious fundamentalism in light of the theatre
performances of diverse young people and their reflections upon their own
creative work together. By using theatre as a sociological lens, The Theatre
of Urban not only explores the very notion of performance in a novel and
interesting way, it also provides new insights into the conflicts that often
erupt in these highly charged school spaces. |
