This easy-to-read book integrates research and performance-based
concepts in order to demystify and debunk the conventional wisdom
about education. For many years, education has been beset by myths
- myths that it can't be fixed with new concepts, that it takes
specialists to diagnose what's wrong, that research doesn't reflect
the real world, that the lessons of business cannot be generalized
to education. This book takes on these misunderstandings and shows
precisely what educators may do in order to overcome them.
Educators will find Salowe and Lessinger's advice to be a rational,
sober, and research-based approach to an often-debated topic.
Stories from East and West to Save the World is Leon Lessinger's
tribute to his son Steve, who was an educator in Japan and died in
that country at too early an age. It is the fruit of conversations
Leon had with son, based on what Steve's wife, Naomi, had told
Steve about Japan. Leon sees some parallels here with what he
observed during his own career as an educator in the United States.
He has been assisted in the formulation of his ideas by Brian
Redmond, a retired teacher of English to Japanese people. Leon,
Brian and Naomi are all convinced that education is not a matter if
stuffing facts into a person as letters into a mail box, but is a
precious chance to give guidance and courage to those seeking
knowledge, and thus shape a better world for all.
