Review # 1 was written on 2010-04-01 00:00:00 Darren Hubbard This book draws a dichotomy between an ethic of justice and an ethic of care and how those two ethics are utilized in K-12 to higher education settings. The chapters are are written by a different author, but I found use in nearly every section. As a Dean of Students with behavior adjudication responsibilities, I have found myself often reflecting on the questions posed by this book.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-12-25 00:00:00 Donna Mccracken Read for continuing ed..... This was a mixed bag for me. I think standards-based grading is something that is likely coming down the pike, but I think there are many issues that need to be worked out and addressed before I will be gung ho about it. Some of the "practical solutions" the authors suggested didn't seem all that practical or they were only practical after a district figures out how to get over the big hurdle of setting up the system in the first place, which wasn't really addressed here. Reading this made me realize that I agree with a lot of premises of standards-based grading, but I need to learn much more about implementation, etc.
