Considerăm că a doua ediție a lucrării Saving Our Students, Saving Our Schools reprezintă un instrument metodologic esențial pentru recalibrarea managementului educațional în mediile defavorizate. Organizarea materialului este riguroasă, debutând cu o analiză critică a modului în care politicile școlare actuale pot „fabrica” eșecul, pentru ca ulterior să prezinte un set de 50 de strategii concrete, testate la firul ierbii. Progresia editorială ne poartă de la înțelegerea profilului elevului aflat în situație de risc, până la soluții specifice pentru comunități marcate de sărăcie sau diversitate culturală.

Subliniem faptul că autorii Robert Dale Barr și William H. Parrett nu se limitează la teorie, ci integrează direct în text experiențele cadrelor didactice și ale administratorilor. Această abordare transformă volumul dintr-o monografie academică într-un ghid de intervenție imediată. Comparabil cu Students at Risk in At-Risk Schools de Hersh Waxman în ceea ce privește rigoarea analizei, titlul de față se distinge prin accentul pus pe reziliență și pe „înțelepciunea neconvențională” a profesorilor cu experiență, fiind actualizat pentru a răspunde noilor dinamici socio-economice din sistemul de învățământ.

Structura în două părți permite o tranziție logică de la conștientizarea miturilor educaționale care perpetuează ineficiența, către aplicarea unor tactici de predicție a comportamentului bazate pe activele de dezvoltare ale tinerilor. Indiferent dacă este vorba despre diferențele de gen sau despre barierele lingvistice, materialul oferă o perspectivă dinamică asupra modului în care o școală poate fi revitalizată prin angajament colectiv și strategii bazate pe dovezi.

Recenzii

Praise for the first edition: "Barr and Parrett have provided educators, policy makers, and parents with an outstanding resource. If you’re serious about leaving no child behind, this is one book you need to read."
"I always knew that all students could meet or exceed standards if we articulated the research-based practices that worked. This is exactly what the authors have done. We now have the tools to ensure all our students are successful—what a glorious time for schools, thanks to Robert Barr and William Parrett!"
“Lives up to its title with 50 experience-tested recommendations. Though especially recommended for educators serving in America’s most troubled schools, this book is filled cover to cover with tips, tricks, techniques, and recommendations that even those most successful schools will find useful.”
