Were They Pushed or Did They Jump?: Individual Decision Mechanisms in Education
So, it read like a textbook. But it wasn't too bad, because I was actually interested in what they had to say. I skipped around a lot, and sometimes skimmed entire pages in minutes, but I got the gist of the book. Education is a humane enterprise, not a factory to produce the same product over and over again. In order to create successful schools, we need to take the focus off of national standardized, high-stakes testing and keep accountability local. There are lots of ideas in there for school improvement, each which probably deserves its own book. A must-read for legislators, although they wouldn't spend the time on it.
