Repainting the Little Red Schoolhouse
Author: John Rodden
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0190283238
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 551
Book Description
This is the first English-language study of GDR education and the first book, in any language, to trace the history of Eastern German education from 1945 through the 1990s. Rodden fully relates the GDR's attempt to create a new Marxist nation by means of educational reform, and looks not only at the changing institution of education but at something the Germans call Bildung--the formation of character and the cultivation of body and spirit. The sociology of nation-building is also addressed.

Pages : 742
Book Description
Diane Enfield joined the FBI to save underprivileged children of the street, but her 13th brought to light some strange aspects of her job. After pick-up and delivery of number 13, she became the hunted by both the good and bad guys. Her “Control,” Hal Chandler claimed to know nothing about the source of her orders. When she was almost run down by, what appeared to be a government agent, Hal was convinced there was indeed something strange going on. The kidnapping of Diane’s family, without a ransom, was to gain Diane’s continued cooperation and stop her investigations. Hal was an ex-field agent and with his cohorts, Diane was able to locate and rescue her family, thwarting the high level people running the shady operation, eventually returning the 5-year-old to his family’s waiting arms.

Battling the Student Engagement Front
Author: Justin A. Collins
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1610487559
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 227
Book Description
The school finance debate has profoundly shaped the educational reform landscape over the past four decades. Most conspicuously, judges level billion dollar decrees based on scant and conflicting findings. This book sought to explore whether school funding practices satisfy the equity and adequacy standards delineated by policymakers and judges, and demanded by the broader public. A funding formula myopia, the book argues, has left student engagement largely overlooked. It comes as no surprise, therefore, that vast funding enhancements have introduced disappointing outcomes results. The book argues the front of the classroom must become and remain the epicenter of reform activity: and that transforming instructional and engagement behaviors are effort-intensive endeavors that very little in pecuniary terms. In the end, an eye on the student engagement/pedagogical ball over the long run will deliver the results that cash infusions simply cannot. The book concludes by documenting how educational leaders can go about driving such desirable learning/instructional behaviors, and the quantified test score gains that can be expected to follow.
