Teacher accountability has been a major strategy for “fixing” education for the last 2 decades. In this book, Cochran-Smith and her research team argue that it is time for teacher educators to reclaim accountability by adopting a new approach that features intelligent professional responsibility, challenges the structures and processes that reproduce inequity, and sustains multi-layered collaboration with diverse communities. The authors analyze and critique major accountability initiatives, including Department of Education regulations, CAEP accreditation procedures, NCTQ teacher preparation reviews, and edTPA, and expose the lack of evidence behind these policies, as well as the negati...

The New Imperatives of Educational Change
The New Imperatives of Educational Change is a clarion call to move beyond the standardized testing and marketplace competition that have become pervasive in school systems to focus instead on creating the conditions that will encourage all students to become critical and independent thinkers. Dennis Shirley presents five new imperatives to guide educators and policymakers towards a re-thinking of what it means to teach effectively and to learn in depth. The evidentiary imperative requires educators to attain a better grasp of what data actually reveal about international trends in student learning. The interpretive imperative encourages mindful deliberation before acting on evidence in orde...
Robert Burton and the Transformative Powers of Melancholy
Few English books are as widely known, underread, and underappreciated as Robert Burton’s The Anatomy of Melancholy. Stephanie Shirilan laments that modern scholars often treat the Anatomy as an unmediated repository of early modern views on melancholy, overlooking the fact that Burton is writing a cento - an ancient form of satire that quotes and misquotes authoritative texts in often subversive ways - and that his express intent in so doing is to offer his readers literary therapy for melancholy. This book explores the ways in which the Anatomy dispenses both direct physic and more systemic medicine by encouraging readers to think of melancholy as a privileged mental and spiritual acuity...

Deadly Virtues
Stephanie Burton is dripping in degrees—both academic and professional. And, she’s drop-dead gorgeous. Hers is a voice that pierces the din and circus antics of cable news broadcasting; she conveys genuine compassion and civility to her growing audience, compelling viewers to reach higher, behave more nobly. Eventually, she’s hailed as “America’s Moral Compass.” But something evil lurks behind Stephanie’s attractive and charismatic persona. Privately, she contends with emotional scars as sordid as any of the sensationalized stories the networks feast upon. In her deep-seated hatred for men, she carries out a plan to make them pay. When thirty-four-year-old Prize Calloway’s dead body is discovered in his Grandview, Missouri, apartment, officials begin to look for connections. Soon, Andie Morrison, a data analyst with the Kansas City Police Department ties Calloway’s death to two other brutal sex killings and a motivational speaking tour. The investigation heads down one blind alley after another as the public fixates on every detail, with one virtuous voice at the center.
The Darkest Mission
Combine WWII flyers, a sadistic Nazi colonel, East Germany's feared secret police, the CIA and a prominent U.S. Senator with years of Cold War knowledge and a you get a historical thriller of biblical proportions from newcomer Rick Burton. This hard-hitting, fast-paced story moves from war-torn Berlin in 1944 to modern-day Boston, Budapest and Moscow. Combining historically accurate military and espionage details, Burton's thriller spans two generations of complicated intrigue and dark double-crosses. The Darkest Mission is a harrowing ride that follows the crew of a doomed 100th Bomb Group B-17 bomber, through a 50-year odyssey targeting one of America's most honored public figures. With its whirlwind plot, delving deep into bitterness and dark depravity, it falls to a South Boston detective, turning to an NFL-linebacker-turned-priest, to explain one clue (a Bible verse that doesn't exist). It leads to a series of gritty homicides and a puzzle-filled plot that ends with a blazing conclusion.
