Recenzii
A compelling and thought provoking analysis of the role of teachers in school reform. This book is an excellent resource for policy makers and educators seeking to understand how to create optimal conditions for teaching and learning in schools.
.An important and easy-to-read account of important subjects to all those who work within schools -- the importance of relationships between groups within school communities, the possibilities and limitations of educational reform effects, and teachers' capacities within their immediate contexts. As a keen observer of classroom and school life and careful listener to teachers' perspectives, Jacob Easley II provides a thorough and thoughtful account of one school community to surface significant insights about the larger forces at play in educators' efforts toward educational reform. The Audacity to Teach provides a critical understanding for building the capacities needed to bring about effective change in schools.
This book is critical to demonstrating why current district and state efforts to create narrow and rigid policy solutions are doomed, unless they are structured to enable innovative practice and collaborative work.
