This book provides no answer key. If you are looking for "one right
answer," go elsewhere. Implicit in the current educational reform
movement towards standards and standardization is the belief that
the work of teachers is quantifiable; that the hours and days of
contact time between teachers and students can be reduced to a
number that has meaning; in short, that there is one right answer.
Making it Real: Case Stories for Secondary Teachers focuses not on
the episodic nature of the standardized test but on those "hours
and days of contact time" that represent the essence of what
teachers do on a daily basis. Within that context, teachers are
called upon to make hundreds of decisions each day - decisions
which require knowledge and expertise about planning, learner
development, content knowledge, student assessment, and ethical
practice - among many others. These decisions are not made easily
and cannot be quantified because they take place in the complex
world of human nature and human activity; where values and
priorities conflict and often clash. The teachers, administrators,
and students in Making it Real: Case Stories for Secondary Teachers
represent the day-to-day situations, relationships, conflicts, and
dilemmas that exist in every school. No "formulas" are presented.
No "secrets" are revealed. Rather, the authors provide a template
for analysis that encourages readers to place themselves in these
real life school settings and consider the causes and consequences
of their decisions-for themselves, their students, and society as a
whole.
