Rethinking School Reform puts classrooms and teaching at the center of the debate over how to improve public schools. This new collection of articles is a primer on a broad range of pressing issues, including school vouchers and funding, multiculturalism, standards and testing, teacher unions, bilingual education, and federal education policy. Informed by the experience and passion of teachers who walk daily into real classrooms, Rethinking School Reform examines how various reform efforts promote—or prevent—the kind of teaching that can bring equity and excellence to all our children, and it provides compelling, practical descriptions of what such teaching looks like.

By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Rethinking School Reform: Views from the Classroom (Paperback)
The collaborative compilation of co-editors and education experts Linda Christensen and Stan Karp, Rethinking School Reform: Views From The Classroom presents a collection of informative and challenging essays from a variety of professional educators concerned with modern issues affecting public schools, including the importance of taking ethics, bias, and history seriously in one's curriculum (for example, acknowledging the genocidal slavery and slaughter that Columbus instigated), the practice of standardized testing and ways to correct its imbalance and slights with respect to minorities, and ways in which the present system can be reformed and promoted with the goal of equality and maximum opportunity. An excellent and insightful anthology, Rethinking School Reform is a welcome and recommended addition to Education Studies reference collections and reading lists.
