5.0 out of 5 stars
Cogent, balanced advice,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Creating New Schools : How Small Schools Are Changing American Education (Paperback)
In Creating New Schools: How Small Schools Are Changing American Education, Evans Clinch has assembled informative contributions from sixteen educational scholars and experts who share their critical views of the standards and testing movement; as well as explore the major reform issues currently facing American educational institutions. Their collective wisdom is sound in its consideration of the difficulties with implementing educational reforms in the fact of structural and ideological limitations. Creating New Schools is both a survey of the role small schools are playing in influencing American educational practices and expectations, it also offers cogent, balanced advice for those seeking to understand or inspire educational reform within their own educational facilities and programs.
