Educational Success Story

Many books about education remind us of the problems in our education system, but this one gives a realistic and inspriring account about how teachers and students can challenge the status quo and create an environment for authentic learning. As a teacher about to start a new middle school program, I got more and more excited as I read this book. While most of us probably cannot design a program exactly like the one described here, ideas like creating and maintaining a democratic classroom and the specific and detailed models for curriculum design and evaluation could be applied to any middle school classroom. I for one will be keeping this book close at hand as I progress with the design of my program.
