Enhancing Teacher Education, Development, and Evaluation examines
the complex role that recent educational reforms have played in the
teaching profession. The failure of programs like Race to the Top
to benefit teaching and learning outcomes has yielded many
questions about what went wrong and how a research-based plan for
true systemic progress could actually work. Covering inaccurate
narratives about schools and student achievement, evidence for
teacher effectiveness, and the history and repercussions of Race to
the Top, this book culminates with a proposal for future research
and policy initiatives that more accurately and more equitably
prioritize the measurement and improvement of teaching and
learning. Five concise yet comprehensive chapters invite teacher
and principal educators, teachers and school leaders in training,
district administrators, policymakers, and other stakeholders to
better understand the implications of and possible paths beyond
misguided reform efforts. An overview of the recent past and an
inspiration for the immediate future, this definitive analysis
offers insights into how more reasonable, empirically derived
strategies will ultimately foster more successful schools.

The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.The Age of
Enlightenment profoundly enriched religious and philosophical
understanding and continues to influence present-day thinking.
Works collected here include masterpieces by David Hume, Immanuel
Kant, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau, as well as religious sermons and
moral debates on the issues of the day, such as the slave trade.
The Age of Reason saw conflict between Protestantism and
Catholicism transformed into one between faith and logic -- a
debate that continues in the twenty-first century.++++The below
