Book Overview
In this timely volume, John Kordalewski explores how standards are negotiated and created within classrooms. Appreciating the current emphasis on and popularity of standards, Kordalewski addresses how they actually play out in classrooms from the point of view of students and teachers. He artfully traces the experience of students and teachers in an urban high school who wrestle with curricula designed to expand their achievement. The result is a fascinating portrait that shows how students and teachers collaborate and create standards. By highlighting how specific educational practices, such as student exhibitions, promote learning, Kordalewski offers insights for teachers and prospective teachers, as well as for anyone interested in wider debates about educational standards.
