In their struggle to identify successful solutions for their schools, teachers, administrators, board members, and parents must wade through reams of educational rhetoric and sales hype. This resource is designed to serve a broad audience of practicing teachers, preservice teachers, administrators, resource teachers, college professors, parents, and others who would like to stay abreast of new education programs and innovations. It objectively explains how each program, practice, and philosophy is supported by research and how it really works in schools. It provides straightforward definitions and concisely illustrates the practical applications and supporting research for approximately 125 educational innovations. Entries include feedback from award-winning teachers, giving educators an unbiased view of real-world effectiveness. Some highlights are as follows: (1) the exploration of more than 60 innovative practices, including assertive discipline, computer-assisted instruction, conflict resolution, distance learning, and the Socratic method; (2) an examination of results-oriented programs, including emergent literacy, Jumpstart, and Touch Point Math; (3) detailed discussion of policies regarding immersion and inclusion, standardized testing, and summer school; and (4) comprehensive coverage of movement, concepts, and theories, including brain-based learning, mainstreaming, multicultural education, and school vouchers.

Floors that generate power, the electronic wall, mix-‘n-match modular school buildings, along with the Education Congress of the States and the 622 Curriculum are among the suggestions offered by Ebert and Maxwell in this provocative view toward revolutionizing one of the oldest institutions in the United States: Public Education. But first is the in-depth treatment of the myth of education reform, our national identity crisis, the fading American culture, and the emergence of Culture X. The failure of school reform efforts to elevate public education in the United States to a preeminent position is due to the myth of educational reform; the mistaken belief that substantive changes actually occur. Culture X Goes to School offers a treatise, a workbook, and an invitation for you to become a player in determining who we are as a culture and where we are going. Some additional key features of this book include: •Thought-provoking activities in every chapter •Detailed guide for assessing school reforms at the local or state level •Specific, innovative suggestions from school facilities to curriculum to administration
