This concise and compelling book outlines the key civil rights
conditions that are essential to deeper learning—the skills and
knowledge that students need to succeed in 21st-century jobs and
life. It describes schools that enable young people, including
those traditionally furthest from opportunity, to develop into
caring and critical problem solvers, effective communicators,
collaborators, and scholars. The book also describes the community
and school inequities that have created persistent obstacles to
these goals and the civil rights actions that have been and
continue to be needed to remove them. These include policies and
practices that ensure safe and healthy communities, equitable
investments in public schools, supports for competent teachers,
strategies for welcoming and nurturing school climates, and
innovative curricula. The authors examine the civil-rights-based
pathways that lead to these goals, highlighting examples of
exemplary schools that offer the kind of deeper learning that
engages and empowers students. This successor to Linda
Darling-Hammond's Grawemeyer Award–winner, The Flat World and
Education, is a big-picture view of what constitutes deeper
learning—where it is found and what enables it—and what must be
done to address the learning needs of all children.Book Features:
Offers a concise treatment written in a voice that will be
accessible to a wide range of readers. Pulls together three key
strands of the learning needs of children (civil rights,
educational opportunity, and deeper learning), the distinct
inequalities in their delivery, past efforts, and legal and
educational paths forward. Examines neighborhood and environmental
inequities that can compromise learning, along with inadequate
school funding and segregation. Looks at the professional teaching
quality imbalance between rich and poor districts and the inferior
curriculum offerings for marginalized populations. Includes
numerous examples of schools that succeed at deeper learning and
equity and explains how they do so.
