About this product

Product Information

For the authors in this book, there can be valid excuses for igrance in any aspect of education as theory/practice. That is: - If we come to learn that all educational problems involve kwledge of complex systems and processes, then quick, simple solutions should t be an educator's first or only expedient option. - If all education requires a measure of cultural and contextual understandings, then uniform, standardized programs and lessons will t meet the needs of all children or communities. - If educational change takes time and strenuous efforts to take hold, then why do we abandon and restart reforms efforts year after year? - If educational practices are best performed by those closest to the problems, then why do we t prepare and continuously develop teachers and administrators to grow intellectually and politically to make wise decisions? - If who a person is culturally and intellectually shapes who they are as educators, then why are our recruitment, selection, induction, and retention policies t influenced by this assumption? - If today's best practices have t taken careful te of successes in the past, then how do we validly measure best practices in use today? - If one-time, standardized test scores are t adequate measures of a person's worth, a teacher's competency, or a school's value to its community, then why do our policies and practices say otherwise? Unfortunately, our igrance of the what and the how of education and educational leadership has persisted across contexts and history. Why? This book provides both theoretical and practical answers to these elusive and problematic issues.
