This book contains thought-provoking essays on teaching and
learning:
- Who is in charge of lesson plans and of organizing classroom
activities?
- Who places students in classes?
- Who selects the books and the tests?
- How are students evaluated, and who determines this?
- What weight does teacher opinion have in decisions about student
progress in school?
Teachers "should "have the final say in all of these cases, and
their opinion "should "weigh heavily in all of them, yet this is
not the reality for today's teachers. Current educational practices
driven by a confluence of social and political issues, including
testing policies, seem to be influencing teaching and learning more
than teachers themselves. The essays in this book consider many
serious issues facing today's teachers and urge teachers to seek
common ground with others in the field of education. The book also
urges teachers to become reflective practitioners, seeing
themselves as theorists, philosophers, action researchers, and
political activists.
"Common Ground, Contested Territory "is an inspiring book for all
teachers.
"A Place to Stand "is for pragmatic idealists--people who can
imagine a better world and are committed toward working toward it;
individuals who are dissatisfied with the status quo and
discouraged at the pace of change; people who are passionate about
making the world a better place but realistic about what it takes
to accomplish it.
This book of essays, wonderfully introduced by Mary Catherine
Bateson, offers hope in the maelstrom of change that surrounds
educators today. Collectively, the essays provide a coherent
approach to identifying problems and formulating strategies for
solving them, but not a sequential, logical approach to effecting
change. The essays are intended as resources for individuals trying
to change things, and he assumes that people working for change are
willing to change themselves as part of the process.
