Rezensionen

"At the Center of All Possibilities: Transforming Education for Our Children's Future engages a diverse and powerful collection of voices to consider, from intersecting and multidimensional perspectives, the ultimate purpose of education. Core beliefs on this issue drive policy and practice-thus influencing every relationship and interaction in teaching and learning. The messages of contributors should be required reading for anyone who wishes to ensure that education supports the cultivation of humans who can construct a just, equitable world." -Julie Gorlewski, Associate Professor and Department Chair of Learning and Instruction, State University of New York at Buffalo
