Although specific definitions may change over time, few goals are
considered more important to education than the pursuit of academic
excellence. There are many different viewpoints on this issue today
among educational psychologists and other social scientists. One
particularly glaring fault line in the debate divides those who
emphasize developing individual learning and those who focus on
promoting cultural and institutional reform. These two perspectives
are rarely addressed in a single volume.
In this book, well-known theorists and researchers present a range
of perspectives on how to promote excellence in education. This
allows those who stress transformation of educational practice and
those who emphasize individual abilities to speak to each, and
invites readers to jointly consider the arguments for both
positions, or for some synthesis of the two. The point is to
consider how these two divergent viewpoints can be reconciled, or
simply coordinated, in an effort to benefit both students and
society at large. The main thesis is that excellence can be
fostered without sacrificing equity, both of which are fundamental
tenets of a democratic education.
The issues addressed in this book have implications and relevance
for school reform efforts and across the fields of educational
psychology, curriculum and instruction, philosophy of education,
and educational leadership. The volume provides a unique source for
students and teachers in various disciplines who want to gain a
broader and more integrated view of the nature and development of
excellence through education.
