UNSUSTAINABLE
UNSUSTAINABLE frames the problem of cost and effectiveness in AmericaOs public schooling system, and provides a strategy to address it. It argues something that many education professionals and policy makers have come to believe but rarely mention: That this countryOs system of K-12 schooling is not sustainable and is becoming a poorer value each year that goes by. It argues for improving the cost and effectiveness of public schooling through a strategy of innovation that targets productivity. Addressing the question how to do this, the book provides policy recommendations to the state, district, and federal levels.

Trusting Teachers with School Success
Lately, our nation's strategy for improving our schools is mostly limited to "getting tough" with teachers. Blaming teachers for poor outcomes, we spend almost all of our energy trying to control teachers' behavior and school operations. But what if all of this is exactly the opposite of what is needed? What if teachers are the answer and not the problem? What if trusting teachers, and not controlling them, is the key to school success?

London's Calling
London's Calling is to develop a Western Muslim identity that will engage multicultural reformation and place England as a bulwark against radicalism in Western Europe. This paper argues that Western identity is in a process of definitive change, which will lead to escalating consequences in social relations if not properly recognized and addressed. Urban London and its unique affirmation of minority rights provide an opportunity to explore alternative models for reconstructing the way we look at difference. Combining literature review, interviews, and primary research gathered while living in England, the author examines the current roles of Muslim communities in London. There is a need for more restrictive conceptions of a multicultural society that respect cultural and religious diversity but assert a core national identity and creed. The final chapter, The Multicultural Paradox, was selected for the 2007 National Undergraduate Research Award from the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
