Crucial to the public debate about schools, curriculum, testing,
academic standards, and teacher training are the voices of
successful teachers, like Kathy Greely, who speak to the dangers of
an overemphasis on standardized testing and a punitive,
back-to-basics approach. This work is a chronicle of a year in the
life of a school classroom. The author provides an alternative
model of education and shows how a strong and supportive community
is essential in helping students reach their highest potential.
Included in this account are: specific projects that explain in
detail critical practices in the classroom; class discussions that
show efforts to interweave academic study with personal awareness;
excerpts from student journals; and descriptions of daily failures
and frustrations, as well as successes and victories.
