How The Other Half Learns book cover
How The Other Half Learns
Equality, Excellence, and the Battle Over School Choice
Robert Pondiscio - 2019-09-10
Calificación de Goodreads
"Success Academy" is a network of controversial charter schools in New York City that allows low-income families of color to provide their children with an education that matches that of the wealthy. In "How the Other Half Learns," teacher and education journalist Robert Pondiscio explores the moral and political implications of public education and school choice. He questions the trade-off between equity and excellence and raises the uncomfortable question of whether providing an excellent education to some means acknowledging that it cannot be provided to all.

Just read @JohnHMcWhorter's "Talking Back, Talking Black: Truths About America's Lingua Franca"—a terrific book: One particularly interesting aspect for me was the parallels between Black (American) English, Scottish and northern English dialects.      fuente

Districts That Succeed book cover
Districts That Succeed
Breaking the Correlation Between Race, Poverty, and Achievement
Karin Chenoweth - 2021-05-25
Calificación de Goodreads
Explore five districts that have successfully broken the correlation between race, poverty, and achievement in Districts That Succeed. Author Karin Chenoweth leverages new, cutting-edge national research on district performance and in-depth reporting to highlight leadership, processes, and systems that have led to the districts’ success. Chenoweth emphasizes that helping more students achieve is not a matter of adopting a program or practice but rather creating a district-wide culture. Chenoweth's research reveals the essential role of districts in closing achievement gaps, and her book provides important lessons for district leaders and policy makers alike.

In her latest book, "Districts that succeed" @karinchenoweth points out that improving schools doesn't do much good unless the improvement survives changes in leadership. The case studies are interesting, but what makes the book for me is the final chapter, showing a way forward.      fuente

Out on Good Behavior
Teaching math while looking over your shoulder
Barry Garelick - 2021-01-26
Calificación de Goodreads
A hilarious and eye-opening collection of essays chronicling the experiences of a math teacher in two schools. With titles like "Math Talk" and "Stalin's Hemorrhoids," these verite-style essays reveal the absurdities and nonsense of teaching math, and encourage teachers to do what's best for their students, not just what administrators want to hear. Highly recommended for anyone interested in education.

"The genetic lottery"— @kph3k may be the decade's most important book on education. Courageous—and beautifully written—it explains why anyone really concerned with equity in education must embrace genetics, rather than pretend that genes don't matter.      fuente

I have just finished reading the revised and enlarged edition of @ThomasSowell's "Wealth, poverty and politics." It is quite simply, the best thing I have read in years, with deep insights on just about every page. Anyone who cares about social justice should—in my view—read it.      fuente

Don't be put off by the title. Charles Karelis' book "The persistence of poverty" gives a powerful explanation for—among other things—why students don't work harder at school. If you've a few hours, read the book. If not, read @bryan_caplan's summary here:      fuente

The Master and His Emissary
The Divided Brain and the Making of the Western World
Iain McGilchrist - 2009-12-15
Calificación de Goodreads
Uncover the profound difference between the left and right hemispheres of the brain, and how they shape our experience of the world. Drawing on recent research and case studies, this book explores how the left hemisphere is detail-oriented and self-interested, while the right hemisphere is flexible and generous. From the evolution of language and music to the history of philosophy and mental illness, the author takes us on a journey through Western culture to demonstrate the tension between these two worlds. A thought-provoking read that sheds new light on the modern world and its potential consequences.
