Developing Minds
What does research tell us about the effects of school leadership on student achievement? What specific leadership practices make a real difference in school effectiveness? How should school leaders use these practices in their day-to-day management of schools and during the stressful times that accompany major change initiatives? Robert J. Marzano, Timothy Waters, and Brian A. McNulty provide answers to these and other questions in School Leadership That Works.

Curriculum Theory
The Second Edition of Curriculum Theory: Conflicting Visions and Enduring Concerns by Michael Stephen Schiro presents a clear, unbiased, and rigorous description of the major curriculum philosophies that have influenced educators and schooling over the last century. The author analyzes four educational visions—Scholar Academic, Social Efficiency, Learner Centered, and Social Reconstruction—to enable readers to reflect on their own educational beliefs and more productively interact with educators who might hold different beliefs.
The Social Studies Curriculum
The third edition of The Social Studies Curriculum thoroughly updates the definitive overview of the primary issues teachers face when creating learning experiences for students in social studies. By connecting the diverse elements of the social studies curriculum—history education, civic, global, and social issues—the book offers a unique and critical perspective that separates it from other texts in the field. This edition includes new work on race, gender, sexuality, critical multiculturalism, visual culture, moral deliberation, digital technologies, teaching democracy, and the future of social studies education. In an era marked by efforts to standardize curriculum and teaching, this book challenges the status quo by arguing that social studies curriculum and teaching should be about uncovering elements that are taken for granted in our everyday experiences, and making them the target of inquiry.
Spokesman for Democracy
"As a journalist, orator, politician, historian, and diplomat, Bowers defended democracy locally, nationally, and internationally. Through his writings and as editor for newspapers in Indianapolis, Terre Haute, Fort Wayne, and New York, Bowers supported liberal reform. Nationally, Bowers was an outspoken proponent of William Jennings Bryan's populist ideas, Woodrow Wilson's progressivism, and Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal. Internationally, he served six years as ambassador to Spain followed by fourteen years as ambassador to Chile." "With best-sellers such as Jefferson and Hamilton: The Struggle for Democracy in America (1925) and The Tragic Era: The Revolution after Lincoln (1929), Bowers "renewed the definition of American Politics." His democratic writings, speeches, and talks won the respect of national and international leaders, such as Franklin D. Roosevelt and Manuel Azana, and authors such as Theodore Dreiser and Ernest Hemingway."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
