The Allure of Order
In The Allure of Order, Mehta recounts a century of attempts at revitalizing public education, and puts forward a truly new agenda to reach this elusive goal. Over and over again, outsiders have been fascinated by the promise of scientific management and have attempted to apply principles of rational administration from above. What we want, Mehta argues, is the opposite approach which characterizes top-performing educational nations: attract strong candidates into teaching, develop relevant and usable knowledge, train teachers extensively in that knowledge, and support these efforts through a strong welfare state.
Teaching as if Students Matter
Teaching as if Students Matter supports the goal of new teachers to create engaging classrooms where students want to learn. It provides concrete and specific methods for building relationships with all students, managing their behaviors in positive ways, and planning for engaged and authentic instruction. Throughout, the book emphasizes the critical role of culturally responsive teachers in creating inclusive curriculum and meaningful relationships to help all students learn and succeed. This book provides specific advice on how to build a classroom culture where discussion can flourish, as well as ideas for working with colleagues, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance. As one reviewer wrote "after reading this book, I really [...] believe I can do this!"
The Making, and Remaking, of a Multiculturalist
Carlos Cortes has been involved in the growth of multiculturalism from the 1960s to the present day. He is a Professor Emeritus of History at the University of California, Riverside. Available in-person in California and by request. Cortes has written the compelling story of his life in this thought-provoking collection of essays about diversity, society, and education. In many ways, Cortes's personal and professional story is the story of the multicultural movement itself. Containing thirteen momentous essays, this volume gives witness to the struggles and successes that Cortes and many others have experienced while striving to create a place for the voices, values, and visions of racial and ethnic groups in our culturally diverse nation and shrinking world.
The Family
Revised and updated edition (fifth edition, 1988) of an introductory textbook that presents an objective description and analysis of contemporary US families within a world perspective, including an examination of nontraditional family and marital life-styles. (Note: the flyleaf identifies the paper used as recycled and acid-free, but Book News' testing reveals the pages to be acidic, i.e. pH 6.0 or below--an unimportant consideration in short-lived textbooks, but such inaccuracy in labelling merits notice.)
