Have you ever wondered where the ever expanding layers of
bureaucracy are taking us in the field of education? This book
challenges us to think carefully about this question. The status
quo in education consists of policies, practices, and power
structures impacting the way we teach, and prevent students from
learning in meaningful and significant ways. Assessment techniques
drive our teaching practices resulting in a learning process that
students strongly dislike. Technology like PowerPoint presentations
and clickers force students to pay attention to lectures, but the
end result is the same-memorizing information for exams. It is
causing students to become less focused on comprehending what they
read. It is also physically changing the way students read focusing
on small sound bites on what they believe is necessary to remember
for tests. Discriminating against students of color continues to be
a prevalent problem as well. Data show that white educators consist
of a huge majority often lacking cultural awareness in our
classrooms. Reading this book will inspire you to become a
courageous educator and implement meaningful changes in your
classroom on how to asses your students, what kind and how much
technology to use, and how to sensitively treat educators and
students of color.
