Tyranny of the Textbook

Most importantly, the author clearly spells out how the system can change so that reforms and standards have a shot at finally being effective"--

Teacher Education- Learning Strategies And Methods
Education in India is provided by the public sector as well as the private sector, with control and funding coming from three levels, namely, central, state, and local. The central (ČBSE, ICSE) and most state boards uniformly follow the ten plus two plus three' pattern of education. In this pattern, study of twelve years is done in a school and junior college (ten plus two years) and the attainment of a Bachelor's degree takes three years of studies thereafter. The first ten years is further subdivided into five years of primary education, three years of upper primary, followed by two years of high school. It is important to clarify that while there are private schools in India, they are hi...

Reinventing the Library for Online Education
Have changes such as cloud computing, search engines, the Semantic Web, and mobile applications rendered such long-standing academic library services and functions as special collections, interlibrary loans, physical processing, and even library buildings unnecessary? Can the academic library effectively reconceive itself as a virtual institution? Stielow, who led the library program of the online university American Public University System, argues most emphatically that it can. His comprehensive look at web-based academic libraries synthesizes the changes wrought by the Web revolution into a visionary new model, grounded in history as well as personal experience. He demonstrates how existi...

The Buying and Selling of American Education
American educators and policy makers have grown increasingly frustrated in recent decades as attempts to enhance equity and bring American student learning to the level experienced in other countries have faltered. Recent efforts have included the standards movement as well as broad expansion of “school choice.” These endeavors, which largely rely on market-based thinking, assume that individual schools and teachers have the will and ability to do better, if only prodded by competition and other sticks and carrots. Such attempts overlook flaws in a system developed to provide a “common” education while also subdividing resources to maintain privilege for some. This book traces the hi...
