DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe challenge of overcoming educational inequality in the United States can sometimes appear overwhelming, and great controversy exists as to whether or not elementary schools are up to the task, whether they can ameliorate existing social inequalities and initiate opportunities for economic and civic flourishing for all children. This book shows what can happen when you rethink schools from the ground up with precisely these goals in mind, approaching educational inequality and its entrenched causes head on, student by student. Drawing on an in-depth study of real schools on the South Side of Chicago, Elizabeth McGhee Hassrick, Stephen W. Raudenbush, and Lisa Rosen argue that effectively meeting the challenge of educational inequality requires a complete reorganization of institutional structures as well as wholly new norms, values, and practices that are animated by a relentless commitment to student learning. They examine a model that pulls teachers out of their isolated classrooms and places them into collaborative environments where they can share their curricula, teaching methods, and assessments of student progress with a school-based network of peers, parents, and other professionals. Within this structure, teachers, school leaders, social workers, and parents collaborate to ensure that every child receives instruction tailored to his or her developing skills. Cooperating schools share new tools for assessment and instruction and become sites for the training of new teachers. Parents become respected partners, and expert practitioners work with researchers to evaluate their work and refine their models for educational organization and practice. The authors show not only what such a model looks like but the dramatic results it produces for student learning and achievement. The result is a fresh, deeply informed, and remarkably clear portrait of school reform that directly addresses the real problems of educational inequality.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAwarded for its unique ink illustrations, this newly revised edition of Architecture is Elementary is a self-instruction book that concisely and coherently discusses the principles of architectural design. Stimulating lessons challenge the lay person and trigger creative responses. New features include a fresh design and layout, 50 new illustrations of recent and planned buildings, and new lessons that update the book for the world of twenty-first-century architecture. Author Nathan Winters explains the rationale for developers choosing to build higher and taller with modern high-rises, and explores the engineering challenges for such giant structures. He also addresses the dangers of such adventurous design in this century, including becoming tempting targets for terrorists. Architecture is Elementary also explores issues surrounding modern landscape architecture, as Winters looks at the impact of green design and cities that seek to reclaim useless spaces (such as inactive railroad lines), converting them into parks for urban use. He also explores the financial and economic benefits of beautified landscape. The new layout, new lesson materials, and current examples of future thinking in the world of architecture make this a must-have for every serious teacher, student, and practitioner of architecture.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis report is intended to assist teachers, administrators, parents, and community leaders in achieving excellence in California's public elementary education. The report is also designed to help teachers and administrators engage elementary school students in a thinking curriculum that immerses students in a rich learning environment that recognizes and celebrates the unique background and experiences each student brings to the classroom. Following an introduction that outlines its purpose, the report is divided into seven chapters, each of which contains recommendations supported by a discussion, excerpts from key writings, and a listing of sources of additional information. The first chapter includes a detailed discussion of current learning theory and its implications for elementary instruction on a subject-by-subject basis. One recommendation is included. The second chapter, which deals with practical strategies for implementing a rigorous curriculum, contains recommendations 2 through 15. Chapter 3 concerns ways to connect classroom teachers to the larger professional issues in elementary education and consists chiefly of recommendations 16 through 20. Ways in which California's new elementary grades assessment program can be used to spur curriculum reform are described in recommendations 21-24 contained in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter outlines ways to help families and children build emotional bonds to the school as detailed in recommendations 25-29. Students' physical and emotional needs are addressed in the sixth chapter, which presents one recommendation, and the final chapter (ending with recommendations 31 and 32), describes steps that school districts can take to support elementary schools in their quest for self-improvement.
