Volatile Knowing

Parents, Teachers, and the Censored Story of Accountability in America's Public Schools

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Volatile Knowing refers to the positive change that can result when parents and teachers talk together about the politics of school reform. Based on a study of teachers and parents who researched aspects of the accountability movement typically censored in mainstream media, Volatile Knowing reveals the hidden power behind current reform efforts that serve private, not public interests. It is aimed at provoking a new, child-centered movement for accountability and creativity in the nation's schools.
