This important new book assembles internationally prominent
school-of-education faculty and researchers to provide valuable
perspectives on the school reform or excellence movement. "From the
CampuS" addresses timely issues in education in a scholarly yet
easy-to-read style. The contributors represent a wide variety of
disciplines including comparative and international education,
history, sociology, political science, curriculum theory, testing
and evaluation, school administration, special education and more.
They confront the most controversial issues in education of our
time; equity and excellence, at-risk children, the education of
language-minority students, the governance of education, parental
choice, and the importance of home, family, and elementary and
preschool education.
This book broadens the scope of the debate over school reform to
include concerns that the current enthusiasm for excellence will
erode earlier gains for equality, and that the reform movement is
not paying enough attention to at-risk and disadvantaged children.
The contributors examine the need for radical restructuring of
schools in order to combine excellence with equality. "From the
CampuS" offers insight, values, and pedagogical expertise from
education scholars enabling the reader to be well-informed in the
school reform debate. Parents, school board members, policy makers,
school administrators, teachers, and education students will find
"From the CampuS" a source of stimulating ideas as well as a
valuable resource.
