educationr: A Pathfinder

This is a computer-generated pathfinder created against the Distant Reader study called educationr.

Each Distant Reader study carrel is composed of many individual items. Each item is bibliographically described with author, title, date, summary, and keyword values. Below is a list of the items' most signficant keywords as well as lists of the items themselves. Purpusing the content of this pathfinder provides the student, researcher, or scholar with one way to get their heads around the scope of the carrel. The keywords include:

Review; Que; Para; Por; Students; Los; School; Teachers; Learning; Book; Work; Teaching; Schools; Authors; Social; Policy; Chapter; College; Public; Children; Theory; State; Science; Language; Teacher; Knowledge; Community; Psychology; York; Literacy; Curriculum; Race; Standards; Data; Reading; Educators; Testing; Technology; Apple; Son; Society; Text; Leadership; Media; Class; Politics; Professor; Justice; Model; Women; Scrolling; Case; Performance; Making; Girls; Future; Framework; Universities; Design; United; Researchers; Access; Campus; Admissions; Screen

Depending on how this pathfinder was created, many of the bibliographic sections will include elaborations on the meaning(s) of the given keywords. These elaborations were generated by feeding the items' summaries to a large langauge model and asking the model to address the question, "What is X?", where "X" is the keyword. The result will be a few sentences of elaboration. Be forewarned. The elaborations are often plausible, but they should not be take as truth. Instead, they should be taken as points for consideration.

• Unraveling Hope in the Epicenter of Urban Educational Disaster: An Essay Review of Learning to Liberate. by Rosa, Ricardo D. (2014) - The text inspires the formation of creative networks between school based educators and community based educators, and further blurs the boundaries of what should qualify as education. She challenges us to imagine teacher education programs that are anchored to community-based organizations and sees these formations as not only critical for the formation of teachers but also a fountain from which a “new generation of community based teachers,” may be recruited. Keywords: community; education; educators; research; review; teachers; watson; youth
• Analyzing Education Productivity: An Essay Review. Vol 9 n 4 by Duyar, Ibrahim (2015) - Although a variety of scientific approaches to education productivity research are represented, the book emphasizes the special credibility of randomized experimental methods. Prospects for education productivity research in light of the ideas presented by Subotnik and Walberg conclude the review. Keywords: analysis; education; education productivity; function; inputs; production; productivity; public; research; review; school; student; studies; walberg
• Theory resurrected: An essay review. Vol. 9 No. 8 by Perla, Rocco J.; Carifio, James (2015) - However, no such explanation is proffered and the purported failures of educational research and theory must be taken on faith—a rather difficult assumption to accept on face value considering that Geelan’s “overarching theme” in the book is to look at educational theory from a “different” vantage point and perhaps to redefine it (p.1). If we do not know exactly and specifically what educational theory is being referred to by Geelan (and that the educational theory in question is something more than the undefined “traditional approach” used in so many older educational studies) are we not doomed to repeat our uses of it in educating people (assuming it is not worth repeating)? Keywords: book; education; geelan; learning; practice; research; review; science; theory
• NAEP, report cards and education: A review essay of The Nation's Report Card by Lyle V. Jones and Ingram Olkin by Stake, Robert E. (2025) - They asked, “What have been the effects of NAEP assessment? NAEP assessment of learning is seldom used as input for classroom teaching.) Keywords: achievement; assessment; book; card; education; evaluation; naep; national; performance; policy; progress; report; review; school; standards; state; student; subject; teachers; testing
• Rejoinder to Geelan: Dancing and playing around while science education and science education research goes up in romantic flames: An Essay Review of Learning to Liberate. by Perla, Rocco J.; Carifio, James (2015) - These core contradictions are a fairly wholesale rejection of modern scientific theory, modern learning theory, and modern scientific research methodology by science educators, science educator researchers and professors of science education, as well as a seemingly lack of awareness of (or stonewalling of) these core contradictions, never mind a broad and sophisticated understanding of them by many who most loudly claims these kinds of knowledge and expertise, based upon, what seems to be (from Geelan’s self-admissions) very little first hand experience or knowledge of history or “the classics” of various research traditions. Rejoinder to Geelan: Dancing and playing around while science education and science education research goes up in romantic flames. Keywords: carifio; education review; educators; geelan; perla; research; review; science; science education; theory; today; work
• Black intellectual genocide: An essay review of IQ and the Wealth of Nations. by Berhanu, Girma (2015) - Conversely, I wonder how would Europeans, or most Asians, perform on “intelligence tests” designed by, say, Kalahari Bushmen, Eskimos or Australian Aborigines? They stated that there are two approaches to characterizing the lower performance on intelligence tests of minorities and immigrants: The first is that ethnic differences and genetic make-up are sources of variations in the time of cognitive development.

• Pedagogy for social justice: An essay review. by Pruyn, Marc; Cibils, Lilian (2015) - McLaren and Jaramillo argue that while public schools are responsible for imposing the neo-liberal regime on families and youth, class exploitation is often left out of the debate in schools of education, and that the “Embourgeoisement of critical pedagogy has prevented educators from acknowledging sufficiently the class character of US culture within the vertical structure of capitalist society” (p. 84). A Call to a New Marxist Humanism In the context of this in-depth critique of the intricacies of the workings of neo-liberalism in the ever-expanding empire of global “marketplace democracy,” McLaren and Jaramillo make a call to a new humanism in critical pedagogy in these terms: What is painfully clear in the midst of such a daunting scenario is the need for a new critical humanist pedagogy, an approach to reading the word and the world that puts the struggle against capitalism (and the imperialism Peter McLaren, Nathalia Jaramillo with Aleida Guevara Education Review http://edrev.asu.edu/essays/v10n11index.html 5 inherent in it) at the center of the pedagogical project, a project that is powered by the oxygen of socialism’s universal quest for human freedom and social justice. Keywords: capitalism; class; democracy; education; hope; jaramillo; mclaren; new; pedagogy; review; state; struggle; world
• Teaching John Dewey: An essay review of three books on John Dewey. by Margolis, Eric (2015) - The Education of John Dewey For my class, I have decided to adopt Jay Martin’s biography, augmented by Dewey’s much smaller book Experience and Education (1938). Dewey continued her feminism, incorporating it into his ongoing project of “becoming” John Dewey. Keywords: book; dewey; education; inquiry; john; johnston; life; martin; new; review; school; university; work
• In Search of a Broader View of Education Policy: An Essay Review of Glass's Fertilizers, Pills, and Magnetic Strips. by Levin, Benjamin (2015) - Glass is undoubtedly correct in saying that the fate of public education is bound up with larger political and social developments. If we could move the public debate away from the latest silver bullet of improvement towards understanding the necessity of unrelenting, persistent effort to improve the daily experience of schooling, we might be able to mitigate some of Glass’s pessimism and to create higher levels of public confidence in public education. Keywords: book; education; glass; policy; public; review
• Beyond Politics of School Size: An Essay Review. by Liou, Daniel D. (2015) - The first is to provide readers with a brief introduction on what has been empirically confirmed on the topic of small schools and to situate Gilberto Conchas and Louie Rodriguez’s (2008) With strong evidence, a good number of small schools have proven to be superior when compared to those large in structure (Fine & Sumerville, 1998; Wasley, Fine, Gladden, Holland, King, Mosak, & Powell, 2000). Keywords: achievement; culture; daniel; education; new; press; research; review; school; size; students; teachers; york
• Test anxiety: An essay review of Koretz's Measuring Up. Vol. 12 No. 2 Review of Koretz, D. (2008). Measuring Up: What Educational Testing Really Tells Us. by Fetler, Mark (2015) - Perhaps because there are many goals for public schools, and most of them are hard to document and evaluate, accountability programs tend to focus on what is obvious and easily obtained - student achievement test scores. Possible sources of school outcome data other than achievement test scores include disciplinary actions, expulsions, grade retentions, remedial education, dropouts, graduation rates, college attendance, college-level remediation, and employment. Keywords: accountability; achievement; education; english; koretz; language; national; nclb; results; review; school; scores; standards; states; students; test; testing
• The KULT of KIPP: An essay review. Vol. 12 No. 3 Review of Mathews, Jay. (2008). Work Hard, Be Nice: How Two Inspired Teachers Created the Most Promising Schools in America. by Horn, Jim. (2015) - We are told that KIPP students did a learning simulation for the Republican National Convention in 2000, but we don’t learn any details on how that came about. Even though Mathews plays up the fact that early KIPP students read quality literature, the reading of books is given to forty-five minutes of silent or oral reading from 4:15 to quitting time at 5 PM. Keywords: children; education; feinberg; kipp; levin; mathews; mike; review; schools; work
• Accountability and the Slippery Language of Public Relations: An Essay Review. Review of Kowalski & Lasley. Handbook of Data-Based Decision Making in Education. Vol. 12 No. 7. by Ohanian, Susan (2015) - They then present “an instantiation of methods and a tool in the context of assessment of teacher practices,” I remember my first teacher evaluation. Nothing good can come of thinking of children and teachers in the vocabulary of the Fortune 500. Keywords: book; children; data; decision; education; language; making; ohanian; review; school; standards; state; students; teachers; test
• Social Studies in the Postmodern World: An Essay Review. Review of Segall, Avner; Heilman, Elizabeth E. & Cherryholmes, Cleo H. (Eds.) (2006) Social Studies—The Next Generation: Re-searching in the Postmodern. Vol. 12 No. by Kumar, Ashwani. (2015) - Stanley‘s critique mainly constitutes two points concerning the volume‘s lack of effective contribution to the debate on the purpose(s) of social studies education, and the challenges postmodernism has faced from various quarters for being hopeless, nihilistic, Kumar: Social studies in the postmodern world: An essay review 13 relativistic, fascist, apolitical and for not being in favor of political, social, and economic reforms. The main objective of this volume, according to the editors, is to broaden the imagination within social studies education by highlighting current, cutting-edge scholarship incorporating critical discourses.

• Evaluating Educational Interventions within an RTI Framework: An Essay Review. Review of T. Chris Riley-Tillman & Matthew K. Burns (2009) Evaluating Educational Interventions: Single-Case Design by Noltemeyer, Amity; Mcloughlin, Caven S (2015) - Even if RTI were to adapt or transform in order better to address new advances and changing needs, it is unlikely that the validity or utility of SCD for evaluating student interventions would be questioned given its repeatedly documented efficacy over several decades. Many educational professionals who were trained in the pre-RTI era (and likely some trained relatively recently) lack an adequate grasp of SCD strategies for effectively evaluating student interventions within an RTI model. Keywords: data; education; framework; intervention; model; research; response; review; rti; scd; school; student

• Caught Between Hope and Despair: An Essay Review. Review of Grant, Gerald. (2009). Hope and Despair in the American City: Why There Are No Bad Schools in Raleigh. Vol. 13 No. 5 by Horn, Jim (2015) - Unlike Wake County and Raleigh, which consciously chose to consolidate city schools with the county system in 1976, Syracuse followed the more common frozen boundary model of Detroit, which accelerated white flight during school desegregation efforts of the 1970s. It is worth noting that while this kind of charter school “innovation” with no regard to racial or economic composition is given high point value (40) in evaluating state grant applications in the Race to the Top contest, there are no points awarded for plans, innovative or otherwise, to create diverse schools or to challenge the predominance of segregated schools and classrooms. Keywords: county; court; education; grant; nixon; review; schools; social; wake
• The Death and Life of Market-Based reform: An Essay Review. Review of The Death and Life of the Great American School System by Diane Ravitch. NY: Basic Books. Vol. 13 No. 6 by Dorn, Sherman (2015) - And she sketches a modern history of foundation efforts in school reform from the late 1960s to the present. In addition to commenting on her own changed views, the most important original contribution of Death and Life is her description of and criticism of philanthropic foundations' influences on school reform. Keywords: curriculum; education; history; ravitch; reform; review; schools; standards
• Anarchism and Education in the Academy: An Essay Review. Review of Amster, Randall; DeLeon, Abraham; Fernandez, Luis A.; Nocella, Anthony J. & Shannon, Deric. (Eds.) (2009). Contemporary Anarchist Studies. London: Routledge. V by Maley, Cory D. (2015) - This volume serves to demonstrate the versatility and growing relevance of anarchist theory in the contemporary world, both in terms of the academy and through activism in the world at large. Editors Amster, DeLeon, Fernandez, Nocella, and Shannon, aim in this work to ―[bridge] the gap between anarchist activism on the streets and anarchist theory in the academy‖ (cover).

• Constructivism and Direct Instruction as Competing Instructional Paradigms: An Essay Review of Tobias and Duffy's Constructivist Instruction: Success or Failure? NY: Routledge. Vol. 13 No. 8 by Taber, Keith S. (2015) - Constructivism and False Dichotomies Tobias and Duffy‘s volume derives largely from a debate held at the American Educational Research Association annual meeting in 2007, that itself reflected the publication of, and responses to, a paper in the journal Educational Psychologist suggesting that constructivist teaching approaches were ineffective (Kirschner, Sweller, & Clark, 2006). Despite this, science teaching in England does not typically ‗look‘ especially non-traditional (Taber & Bektas, 2009), and indeed the general indifference to the strong constructivist flavour of official guidance (in the sense that it has not been the subject of any noticeable critical comment, within the profession or in the media) seems to suggest that in the English context this is seen by most in the educational community as little more than ‗good practice‘ (Taber, 2010a).

• On Uncertainty, Doubt, Responsibility, and Perpetual Journeys: An Essay Review of Two Books by Ole Skovsmose. Vol. 13 No. 10 by Appelbaum, Peter (2015) - To acknowledge the critical nature of mathematics education, including all the uncertainties related to this subject, is a characteristic of critical mathematics education.” Mathematics education is no longer assumed to possess any essence, and critical mathematics education is now able to concern itself with the different possible roles that mathematics education might play in a particular socio-political setting. Keywords: education; knowledge; mathematics; mathematics education; review; skovsmose; work
• Coming Up for Air: But is it Oxygen or Phlogiston? A Response to Taber's Review of Constructivist Instruction: Success or Failure? Vol. 13 No. 13 by Klahr, David (2015) - His recent research focuses on the extent to which children learn more from highly directed, carefully scripted, instruction about scientific procedures, compared to more open-ended discovery methods of science instruction. As I have argued elsewhere (Klahr & Li, 2005) it is surprising and distressing that when education researchers and science educators join in heated debates about 'discovery learning', 'direct instruction', 'inquiry', 'hands-on', or 'minds-on', they often abandon one of the foundations of modern scientific discourse - the operational definition. Keywords: education; instruction; research; review; science
• How Qualitative Research Works: An Essay Review. Review of Robert E. Stake (2010) Qualitative Research: Studying How Things Work. Vol. 13 No. 14 by Danzig, Arnold (2015) - So an added goal in writing this review was to report on the “sweet water” found in this particular exploration of qualitative research. Understanding the Particular and Causality in Qualitative Research Stake‟s view is that “qualitative research has moved social research away from an emphasis on cause-and-effect explanation Education Review http://www.edrev.info 4 and toward personal interpretation “…[P]henomena are intricately related to many coincidental actions and that understanding them requires a wide sweep of contexts: temporal and spatial, historical, political, economic, cultural, social, personal” (p. 31).

• Language Is Not the Only Barrier (Unless It Is): An Essay Review of Linguistic Minority Students Go to College by Kanno, Yasuko & Harklau, Linda (Eds.) Vol. 16 No. 1 by Caplan, Nigel A. (2015) - The book is divided into three sections and begins with a sequence of four studies that investigate college preparation for LM students in high school. Success is possible but, in Harklau and McClanahan’s words, “unlikely” (p. 74), and stories of LM students who make it to college show how fraught the process is due in part to the complexity of factors that affect immigrant children as well as institutional bureaucracy and discriminatory policies. Keywords: college; education; english; esl; language; linguistic; review; students; university
• Freire in theory and practice: An essay review of Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife by James D. Kirylo. Reviewed by Rebecca Tarlau, University of California, Berkeley. Vol. 16 No. 2 by Tarlau, Rebecca (2015) - The second part of Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife analyzes the theoretical influences on Freire, the major themes that can be taken from his work, and the individuals, literature, and bodies of philosophy Freire has influenced. She pointed to a picture of a man with a long white beard, “Paulo Freire,” she told me, “We use Freire.” Keywords: book; education; freire; freirean; http://www.edrev.info; kirylo; life; new; paulo; pedagogy; review; scholars; theology; work
• Questioning the American Dream: An Essay Review of John Marsh's Class Dismissed. Vol. 16 No. 3 by Malott, Curry (2015) - Pointing to Thomas Jefferson’s position on public education Marsh acknowledges an educational purpose designed to assist students in developing the critical thinking skills needed to be able to detect lies and defend themselves against tyrants and oppressors, but rather quickly downplays its potential potency by arguing that the development of intellectual skills cannot guarantee a critical perspective or the development of a critical consciousness. In his discussion on the costs of inequality Marsh draws on Education Review http://www.edrev.info 4 research that suggests that it is not just the poor who suffer from such conditions, but indicators such as life expectancy decline for everyone, even for the capitalist class, as inequality increases. Keywords: capitalism; class; education; inequality; labor; marsh; marx; new; poverty; review; society; workers
• Finding One's Self Through Foucault. An Essay Review of Foucault, Power and Education by Stephen J. Ball. Vol. 16 No. 4 by Lather, Patti (2015) - Ball’s goal is reflexive in nature—to “be working on myself, trying to re-position or re-write myself in relation to what sort of practice education policy analysis might be” (p. 39). In chapter 2, Ball seeks to complete “a set of ‘critical’ and ‘effective’ histories of education policy…” (p. 38), with a focus on genealogies that are inspired by Foucault’s method, rather than on Foucault himself. Keywords: ball; education; foucault; policy; review; self
• Is This the Education Revolution We've Been Waiting For? An Essay Review of Salman Khan's The One World School House. Vol. 16 No. 7 by Schrag, Francis (2015) - Instead of ushering us into a newer and better understanding of the nature and purpose of mathematics, Khan math simply reinforces the sterile, alienating, and antiquated view of the subject that has dominated for decades. Khan has, himself, transformed some of his ideas into actuality—indeed his online Khan Academy preceded the articulation of the vision found in the book.

• Remembering History: An Essay Review of Testing Wars in the Public Schools. Vol. 16 No. 8 by Hampel, Robert L. (2015) - Reporters and editors nevertheless routinely published valuable information on local schools. And high school grades by the 1880s still counted attendance and deportment as heavily as academic achievement, which included recitation marks, not just scores on written exams. Keywords: boston; education; history; reese; review; school; testing; university
• What About the Losers in the Race to the Top? An Essay Review of Marketing Schools, Marketing Cities. Vol 16 No. 9 by Thompson, Fred; Rizova, Polly (2015) - Purpose aside, school districts are different from other special districts in only two ways: most states require school-board elections to be non-partisan and require school boards to appoint professional administrators, usually called superintendents, as their chief operating officers. According to O’Toole and Meier (201l: p. 341), these mandates reflect the special importance of education and the belief that their functions are best served where school districts are “insulated” from partisan politics and run by qualified professionals. Keywords: center; city; class; cucchiara; districts; education; families; governance; public; review; school; services; state
• Moving Forward with Caution: Assessment Research and Practice. An Essay Review of Informing the Practice of Teaching Using Formative and Interim Assessment.

I begin with Chapter 2, entitled “Design of interim assessment for instructional purpose: A case study using evidence centered design in Advanced Placement,” authored by Lori Nebelsick-Gullett, Cindy Hamen Farrar, Kristen Huff, and Sheryl Packman, because it provides clear descriptions about how the College Board used formative assessment to roll out the latest revision of the Advanced Placement Biology exam.

• Understanding the nature and processes of conceptual change: An essay review. Review of Vosniadou, Stella (Ed.) (2008) International Handbook of Research on Conceptual Change. Vol. 14 No. 1 by Taber, Keith S. (2015) - So what many researchers in this area are seeking to do is to build models of how representations of conceptual knowledge are constructed, organised and modified within a hypothetical cognitive structure that is only loosely understood in terms of actual brain structures. Rather, conceptual change research is focussed less on the physical substrate (neural architecture) than on the components of knowledge representations (Taber, Forthcoming) – that is structure within the „mind‟ (which of course is an abstract if useful notion), rather than in terms of location in the brain.

• The Question of Cosmopolitanism: An Essay Review. Vol. 14 No. 2. Review of Pinar, William. (2009). The Worldliness of a Cosmopolitan Education: Passionate Lives in Public Service and Todd, Sharon. (2009). Toward an Impe by Spector, Hannah (2015) - And while Todd (2009) looks to world agencies such as UNESCO (p. 8) to build her critique, Nava (2007) has a more down to earth, ―domestic‖ (p. 12) appreciation of cosmopolitanism. [by] the cosmopolitan curriculum Pasolini taught‖ (p. 104) as concrete illustrations of a cosmopolitan education which ―invites an ongoing self-reflection associated with solitude while engaged with others in a world that is not only human and historical‖ (Pinar, 2009, p. ix).

• On Making Children Smarter: An Essay Review of Richard Nisbett's Intelligence and How to Get It. Vol. 14 No. 4 by Zimiles, Herbert (2015) - To buttress the view that intelligence is modifiable, Nesbitt calls attention to the work of John Flynn who has shown that the modal level of intelligence has risen consistently since intelligence tests were devised and administered during the past century. Flynn’s analyses remind us that one reason for adhering to similar formats and content of intelligence tests despite growing awareness of their inadequacy is the degree to which they become a basis, a standard for looking at continuity and change in intellectual functioning over time.

• To Bravely Speak: An Essay Review of Jean Anyon's Marx and Education. Vol. 14 No. 5 by McGrew, Ken (2015) - This is the reason presented most often by other Marxist educational scholars as well (Allman, 2001; McLaren & Farahmandpur, 2002; McLaren, 2008; Price, 1986; Nyberg, 1965; Strike, 1989). Chapter Two: Neo-Marxism in Education, 1990 – 2005 Anyon (2011) describes this second period in Marxist educational scholarship as one in which the focus on class was qualified by the consideration of race and gender, as independent and interacting forms of oppression, given the growing contribution of Latino, Black and feminist scholars.

• The NDEA and American Education: Reflections on and Review of Wayne Urban's More than Science and Sputnik Vol. 14 No. 6 by Davis, O. L. Jr (2015) - NDEA had little direct involvement in the improvement of American school science programs. After having read the book twice and portions of it several times, I have wondered—and maybe Urban shares this curiosity—how many people, teachers and administrators and former teachers and school administrators, educational policy analysts and planners even remember the passage of the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) and have even a simple notion of its impact on and its importance to American education.

• The War on Youth: An Essay Review of Henry Giroux's Youth in a Suspect Society: Democracy or Disposability? Vol. 14 No. 7 by Macrine, Sheila L. (2015) - The book‟s analysis of neoliberal politics and the key role education plays in realizing its policies is situated politically and ideologically with in the current historical moment which is precisely the thread that connects Giroux‟s work dating back to the late 1970s. For those disposable populations of young people who are poor especially black and Latino youth, neoliberal politics governs them through an analytic of punishment, surveillance and control.

• Grading the Education Reformers: Steven Brill Gives Them Much Too Easy a Ride. An Essay Review of Steven Brill's Class Warfare. Vol. 14 No. 8 by Rothstein, Richard (2015) - KIPP charter schools have existed for more than 15 years now; there have been, and continue to be, many lost opportunities to track such data. Given the charter school hype in Waiting for Superman and Class Warfare, it may seem hard to believe that students in charter schools do not, on average, outperform those in comparable regular schools.

• Policy for the Poor and Poor Education Policy: An Essay Review of Education and Poverty in Affluent Countries. Vol. 14 No. 10 by Apple, Michael W. (2015) - Education policy is one of the arenas in which the blindness produced by these glasses is particularly evident. In the face of the neoliberal and neoconservative interpretations that circulate so widely both nationally and internationally, there is a growing body of literature in education policy studies that critically examines the conceptual and ideological underpinnings and the ethical, political, and empirical realities of the major reforms that are currently traveling throughout the world.

(2006) Race Differences in Intelligence: An Evolutionary Analysis. Vol. 14 No. 12 by Berhanu, Girma (2015) - Other empirical studies have shown that upward of 99% of group IQ score differences between black and white Americans are eliminated after controlling simply for cultural factors.

• An essay review of Building Students Historical Literacies: Learning to Read and Reason with Historical Texts and Evidence. Vol 17 No. 9 by Gerwin,, David. (2014) - The edTPA has more significant consequences: education faculty need to re-align entire sequences of courses to ensure that candidates have the precise experiences that generate the necessary artifacts for edTPA, and cut back on other valuable assignments to allow student teachers to complete the portfolio. Readers trained in searching for subtext will detect traces of a second, explosive, Nokes erupting in a line demanding that “history teachers… face the harsh reality that traditional methods and materials do little to build long-term content knowledge or to promote critical thinking skills in students” (13).

• Review of Critical Pedagogies of Consumption: Living and Learning in the Shadow of the "Shopocalypse" by Wheeler-Bell, Quentin (2010) - Connecting critical pedagogies of consumerism to the anti-consumerist movement is a necessary aspect of critical pedagogy (Anyon, 2005), because it provides individuals with information on ways to challenge capital, thus moving beyond „critique‟ alone.

• Review of AP: A Critical Examination of the Advanced Placement Pogram by Wheeler-Bell, Quentin (2011) - For instance, a common assumption in this book was that AP classes contribute to social equality, thus the only issues policy-makers should be concerned with are ways to adjust the content of AP class, and the corresponding testing measurements, to ensure there is a positive correlation between a student‟s success in AP classes and their success in corresponding college classes. This book is written from a „pragmatic‟ policy making perspective, with the intent to provide „on the ground advice‟ to schools and policy makers that want to implement, expand, or effectively manage Advanced Placement classes (AP classes) as they currently exist.

• Review of Pasi Sahlberg’s “Finnish Lessons 2.0: What Can the World Learn from Educational Change in Finland?” by Pivovarova, Margarita; Geiger, Tray J (2015) - Sahlberg says that transplanting Finnish educators into the U.S. would not result in the same success in the U.S. as in Finland as Finnish teachers would be severely limited in utilizing their skill and passion due to the education policies in the U.S. Chapter four situates the Finnish education system into the context of the Global Educational Reform Movement, or GERM (which, given the context of the book, could allude to real germs in education systems across the globe). Another major and related theme of the book is the contrast of market-based policy initiatives in education that are prevalent in many advanced countries, including England and the United States, such as accountability policies that focus on standardized testing, school choice and competition, and paying teachers for their performance (really, for their students’ test scores) versus education systems that fully exploit the social and human nature of the teaching profession and rely on carefully selected, trained and motivated teachers.

• Capitalism’s education catastrophe: And the advancing endgame revolt! by Atkinson, Jamie C. (2016) - However, countering neoliberalism involves more than a grassroots movement to take back public education from the hands of neoliberals; it also involves a larger movement to resist unhinged, rampant, and unaccountability of capitalism. The clarion call for critical educators involves moving beyond a discourse of resignation, compliance, defeatism, and pessimism, and to work creatively and aggressively with other educators to form grassroots movements and therefore, keeping the public in public education.

• Review of Black feminism in education: Black women speak back, up, and out by Bryant, Amber C. (2017) - Based upon the work of Cynthia Dilliad, EFE refers to a way of knowing that is unique to the social position of Black women. Co-author Chatman describes how she was demeaned for her “fashionista style of dressing,” and ignored her colleagues’ comments in an effort to avoid being “labeled ‘Sapphire,’ the angry, loud- talking and emasculating Black woman” (p. 29). Keywords: education; feminism; review; winters; women
• Make It Stick: The science of successful learning by Warren, Sheri Lynn (2016) - The conclusion they reach is that, due to the lack of good research on learning styles, and the way that IQ can change over time, teachers would be better served by using the techniques outlined in Make It Stick. Young children whose mothers or caregivers read to them before age 4 and children who have access to learning tools such as puzzles and books also tend have higher IQ scores than those who do not.

• Review of The mindful education workbook: Lessons for teaching mindfulness to students by Gilbert, Lisa (2017) - 274 ISBN: 978-0-393-71046-5 Reviewed by Lisa Gilbert Saint Louis University United States In the past half-decade, corporate America has taken an interest in mindfulness (The Economist, 2013; Pinsker, 2015), a phenomenon that has garnered critique for diluting the meaning of meditation practices in service of capitalistic goals (Burkeman, 2015; Keohane, 2015). In a section on how to introduce mindfulness practices to school communities, Rechtschaffen writes, “Remember not to use words that have religious or culturally specific language that may alienate people. Keywords: education; meditation; mindfulness; rechtschaffen; review; students; teachers
• Review of Discerning critical hope in educational practices by Gilbert, Lisa (2016) - Importantly, critical hope cannot be broken down into either of its halves, and must stand whole: this insistence suggests criticality is not complete without hope, nor hope without criticality. Moreover, readers may find it difficult to connect these thinkers’ abstract ideas on hope to the finely wrought concept of critical hope expanded upon in other chapters. Keywords: authors; education; hope; review; university
• Review of Those Good Gertrudes: A social history of women teachers in America by Blount, Jackie M. (2016) - Historians of education and women’s and gender studies will find this book of particular interest because of the author’s challenges to conventional understandings about women teachers as well as for the rich telling and impressive sources that she has uncovered. In the second and third chapters, Clifford impressively recounts many complex ways that women transitioned from teaching mothers, governesses, and dame school teachers to independent, salary-earning common school teachers of the nineteenth century. Keywords: clifford; education; history; review; teachers; women
• Review of Multiculturalism and education by Ambroso, Eric (2016) - His research interests include educational policy, English language teaching and learning, language education policy, and multicultural education.

• Review of The global financial crisis and educational restructuring by Serkan, Christopher G. (2016) - The authors claim the financial crisis started to play a prominent role in higher education because higher education institutions cannot be insulated from the economic system, and the financial motives of higher education institutions impact all of public education. The book successfully displays how the responses of higher education institutions are closely aligned with public policies on funding for higher education.

• Review of Closing the school discipline gap: Equitable remedies for excessive exclusion by Vallee, Daniel (2016) - The publishing of Closing is the good fortune of US families of color, students labelled (dis)abled, and English Language Learners, who have so very much to gain from the books’ call for increased fairness in school disciplinary practices. Losen’s newest contribution to the literature demonstrates powerful correlations between school disciplinary policies of exclusion like suspension, to trajectories of student disengagement, and ultimately dropout. Keywords: discipline; education; engagement; losen; review; school; student; suspension
• Review of As the witnesses fall silent: 21st century Holocaust education in curriculum, policy, and practice by Rud, A. G. (2016) - This book is doubly on a cusp; that of the last remaining survivors of the Holocaust who are now leaving us and growing silent, as the title alludes, and that of the burgeoning amount and quality of research about particulars of Holocaust education. As a critical educator who does not teach the Holocaust per se, I thought more deeply about Holocaust education after reading this book.

• Review of ADHD: What everyone needs to know by McCleary, Lisa N. (2016) - For example, person first language would recommend the phrase “children with ADHD” rather than “ADHD children”. What Everyone Needs to Know is that the current state of affairs regarding ADHD diagnosis occurs within a context of the following variables: educational policies, healthcare insurance policies, policy regarding income for disabilities (i.e., SSI), lack of adherence to recommended ADHD assessment guidelines, historical variables (i.e., when medication was discovered as an effective treatment), improved data collection of ADHD diagnoses, changes in the way pharmaceutical companies could advertise medicine, changes in pediatrician guidelines, and increasing rates of babies with low birth rates.

• Review of How drama activates learning: Contemporary research and practice by Kirchen, Dennis J. (2016) - First, there is a wide sampling of dramatic techniques presented across the chapters, as well as some studies that employ multiple dramatic techniques to achieve their results.

• Review of Restoring opportunity: The crisis of inequality and the challenge for American education by Handler, Laura K. (2016) - Good and just teaching: The case for social justice in teacher education.

• Review of Resisting reform: Reclaiming public education through grassroots activism by Castro, Andrene (2016) - Pp. 317 ISBN: 978-1-68123-081-8 Reviewed by Andrene Castro The University of Texas at Austin United States Individual and community resistance as a response to school reform is a part of a long tradition of educational activism. At the same time, the narratives of resistance in Resisting Reform convey a poignancy and bring a personal lens to the discourse on school reform that is often absent from other endeavors of scholarly research. Keywords: activism; book; education; reform; resistance; review; school
• Review of School leadership in a diverse society: Helping schools prepare all students for success by Benjamin, Rebecca (2016) - Through this process, the authors aim to reach personnel in school leadership. The theory behind multicultural education that McCray and Beachum offer provides a good foundation, but the only example that is presented references a movie taking advantage of a “teachable moment” that happened to occur, and does not provide educators and school leadership with any concrete examples that truly present the essence of a multicultural curriculum.

• Review of Failing our brightest kids: The global challenge of educating high-ability students by Sewell, Christopher Jason Paul (2016) - Much like my own experience in gifted education, the current demographic profile of gifted education continues to be skewed towards White and Asian middle-class students, diverting resources to specific subsets of gifted students. All the while, debates rage about the amount of funding given to the school due to its high level of students from low-income backgrounds and what it means to truly teach gifted students at this level. Keywords: education; finn; review; students; wright
• Review of Presidents, Congress, and the public schools: The politics of education reform by Moulthrop, Dorothy (2016) - Like Jennings, Cross draws on his experience and historical evidence to outline lessons forecasting the future of federal education policy. Would he view it as the inevitable outcome of the current distrust of federal education policy or would he see it as an example of progress – a sign of the flexibility of national education policy to build on strengths and abandon failures? Keywords: education; government; jennings; policy; reform; review; schools
• Review of Abriendo puertas, cerrando heridas (Opening doors, closing wounds): Latinas/os finding work-life balance in academia by Daniele, Elizabeth A. (2016) - He argues that saber reflects an English language way of knowing that is related to measuring and quantifying knowledge that he calls antidemocratic and particularly slanted against Latinx ways of knowing. The book makes it clear that Latinx families shape the life journeys of these academics in many ways, contributing key values such as working hard, being humble, and giving back.

• Review of The math myth and other STEM delusions by Fowler, David (2016) - Hacker believes that if we could dispel the “myths and Education Review /Reseñas Educativas 2 delusions” about mathematics, then students who wanted to study mathematics at advanced levels could do so, while other students could take alternative, equally rigorous but more relevant courses. The point made for each job referenced is not that the required technical thinking is trivial; rather, that the formal symbolic manipulations of high school algebra are not part of the daily work, whether it’s reading a complex blueprint or interpreting a biopsy report. Keywords: algebra; education; hacker; mathematics; review
• Review of The trouble with SIOP by Sparks, Anthony (2016) - Using the same 12 teachers and their students from the previous study, SIOP creators claimed all students made gains, but students in the SIOP model did better (Echevarría et al., 2011b). During the beginning learning phase, as the authors point out, learners should be placed in bilingual education settings, not in a sheltered environment that SIOP creators suggest would work for all learners.

• Review of A good investment? Philanthropy and the marketing of race in an urban public school by Vang, Maiyoua (2016) - Brown's (2015) ethnography primarily focuses on “the complex ways students, teachers, parents, and administrators at College Prep navigated the complicated current of private-sector involvement in public education” and how through participating in political spectacle, “their performance ‘in front Review of A Good Investment? And in cultivating “critical awareness of and resistance” (Brown, 2015, p. 16) to this project, chapters in Brown’s book identify the dramaturgical discourses integral to maintaining the political spectacle that rationalizes privatization of schools serving Black and Brown children, and how various actors in College Prep either embodied or complicated these discourses.

• Review of Naming what we know: Threshold concepts of writing studies by Kushkaki, Mariam (2016) - Adler-Kassner and Wardle start by defining threshold concepts and explaining why such concepts matter in their introduction to Naming What We Know: “Threshold concepts are concepts critical for continued learning and participation in an area or within a community of practice” (p. 2), and the concepts presented in the book are “currently critical for epistemological participation in our disciplines, and many of them are, we think, critical for anyone who wants to help learners write more effectively, whatever their disciplines or professions may be” (p. 5).

• Bilingualism in the Spanish-speaking world: Linguistic and cognitive perspectives by Ramos-Arbolí, Irene (2016) - Nevertheless, the authors clarify that this enhancement only seems to work for children learning languages that share alphabetic scripts, such as Spanish and English or Euskara and Spanish, but not for non-alphabetic languages (e.g., Chinese) learned at the same time as English. Furthermore, literacy seems to be another aspect enhanced by bilingual children acquiring two languages. Keywords: bilingual; bilingualism; education; language; review; spanish
• Excellence through equity: Five principles of courageous leadership to guide achievement for every student by Williams, Tami (2017) - Furthermore, the simplicity and performance-level descriptors of ability groups can become a substitute for deeper, professional conversations about students and student performance. Students are categorized into levels of achievement such as Below Expectations, Barely Meets, Meets, and Exceeds Expectations. Keywords: education; equity; excellence; review; students
• Review of What kind of citizen? Educating our children for the common good by Estelles, Marta (2016) - For example, some exposes and assumptions are quite relevant and important, such as the frequent confusion between character and citizenship education and the limited attention to the structural causes of social problems given in schools. Presenting these critiques, however, is not to suggest that the model suggested by Westheimer and Kahne does not have heuristic value in terms of analyzing citizenship education programs and exposing assumptions often taken for granted.

• Review of "Rethinking thought: Inside the minds of creative scientists by Currie-Knight, Kevin (2016) - Just like the study of cognitive styles, the study of neurodiversity adds to the scholarly appreciation of diversity, but risks simply replacing old categories with new ones that are more elastic but still inadequately representing the diversity of human thought. As with labels for cognitive styles, the labels of “autism” and “neurotypical” have their uses, but a book like Olsen’s might give us appreciation for the neurodiversity that exists in human thought that goes beyond the two labels of “autistic” and “neurotypical.” Keywords: education; images; olsen; review; thinking; thought
• Review of Language, nation, and identity in the classroom: Legacies of modernity and colonialism in schooling by Seilstad, Brian (2016) - This approach highlights the close connection between social theory and educational practice and reminds the reader of the socially constructed nature of education, hinting at ways education can be de- and reconstructed in the quest for social justice. Although these theoretical concepts help many researchers understand the social world, the theories can also be limiting, leading researchers to forget that society is dynamic and that people are agentive or, to borrow from Michel de Certeau, tactical in their own environments (de Certeau, 1984).

• Review of Men teaching children 3-11—Dismantling gender barriers by Diuguid, Darryn (2017) - Chapter 2 revolves around the voluntary Male Student Teacher Support Group which met during an academic year, and the students provided the researchers an opportunity to listen to and reflect critically on, how a small number of male student teachers ‘negotiated’ the complex, emotional, conscious, and unconscious processes implicated in the ongoing production of our internal and external ‘selves’ within a specific context and at a particular time (p. 34). Readers may find the moral panic chapter or “silent discourse” as the authors referred to it, as extremely current due to the increased conversation in the public about whether men should even be elementary teachers.

Posteriormente, emplea las teorías críticas para estudiar algunos elementos característicos de corrientes educativas transnacionales, como los resultados de aprendizaje, los pagos por mérito y el escaso cumplimiento de los Objetivos de Desarrollo del Milenio, entre otros, ante los que propone pasar a un modelo alternativo de educación, para lo cual resultaría atender a trabajos relacionados con los derechos humanos, la democracia participativa y deliberativa y ser consciente de la importancia de las acciones humanas, entre otros aspectos, para así renovar las antiguas teorías, prácticas y métodos en temas educativos.

• Review of Dilemmas of educational ethics: Cases and commentaries by Baloy, Natalie JK (2016) - The cases alone offer opportunities to explore myriad ethical tensions, including promotion and retention decisions (Case 1); balancing the needs of children with learning challenges with their peers (Case 2); contending with mismatches between teacher decision-making and controversial administrative policies (Cases 2 and 3); enforcing zero tolerance policies amid growing awareness of the school-to-prison pipeline (Case 3); navigating the sometimes disparate ethical and pedagogical rationales of different grading systems in and between schools (Case 4); school choice processes and policies in relation to integrationist ideals and wealth disparities (Case 5); comparing attrition and demographic information between charter schools and local public school districts (Case 6); and many cross-cutting issues, as Levinson and Fay describe in their concluding chapter. This diversity of commentators for each case offers significant opportunities for reflecting on the role that positionality and experience might play in shaping ethical practice; more sustained critical reflexivity on the part of all commentators would have been appreciated toward this end.

• Review of Expanding college access for urban youth: What schools and colleges can do by McCardle, Todd (2017) - VIPS is comprised of high school students, their families, high school staff, and current university students, who serve as mentors for the prospective high school students. Among other issues, the authors point to lower expectations of non-white students made by the predominantly white, monolingual, middle-class teaching force (Delpit, 2006, 2008, 2013) along with the lack of human and social capital to help these students gain access to college counselors and experts to guide them through the enrollment process (Hearn, 1991; Kim & Schneider, 2005; Person & Rosenbaum, 2006).

• Review of Global education reform: How privatization and public investment influence education outcomes by Shirley, Dennis (2017) - Will the future of education be one of the outsourcing of traditional public school systems to a wide variety of private vendors, or will public schools be viewed and supported as cornerstones of free and socially just multicultural societies? In Sweden and the US, policy makers backed privatization and introduced reforms that have taken off in the past quarter century, but these have existed in an uneasy tension with residual institutions and beliefs in public schools.

(2010) - I was not familiar with Anyon‟s work when I agreed to do this, and had an ambivalent attitude toward critical theory, finding some of it of considerable value and other parts dogmatic and tendentious.

Thinking of urban students as neoindigenous provides the reader with a context to view each chapter about teaching and learning with urban students as opposed to on urban students.

• Review of Charlotte Mason: Hidden heritage and educational influence by Wearne, Eric (2017) - Allan and Jackson (2010) provide a good summary of “Charlotte Mason education”: Mason’s basic approach was to teach basic reading, writing, and arithmetic skills and then expose children to the best sources of knowledge for all other subjects. These conflicts over whether “Charlotte Mason education” was a fad, and how exactly to define it, come up repeatedly in the book, even after Mason is established in her final position leading her House of Education at Ambleside.

Kirst and Stevens intend to steer higher education study in a different direction, one in which research is encouraged to move from traditional linear models on student behavior through postsecondary education. Keywords: college; education; institutions; kirst; review; students
• Capital, power, and education: “Dark Money” and the politics of common-sense. A critical essay review of Jane Mayer’s Dark Money: The hidden history of the billionaires behind the rise of the Radical Right by Schirmer, Eleni; Apple, Michael W. (2016) - Drawing from interviews and previously unreleased documents, the first third of Dark Money describes the iniquitous underbelly of the Koch brothers’ family fortune, a chapter deleted from the public accounts of Koch family history. Perhaps one of the most startling moments of the 2016 primary election came when conservative billionaire Charles Koch stated his potential interest in Democratic candidate Hilary Clinton over Republican front-runner, Donald Trump (LoBianco, 2016).

• Review of Challenging perceptions in primary education: Exploring issues in practice by Chang, Lisa M. (2016) - Darling-Hammond and Lieberman highlight the differences in policy and training in other countries to diversify the perspectives on teacher education outside of the UK and the United States with a focus on curriculum and policy changes, teacher knowledge and professional development, and school improvement practices. An understanding of teacher education and pedagogical practices around the world can further enrich reflection and reflexivity of teaching practice. Keywords: education; perceptions; review; teachers; teaching
• Review of Education in West Africa by Baxter, Aryn (2017) - The book responds to the call of comparative education scholars for detailed study at the local level to explore this convergence of influences on national education systems (Lingard & Ozga, 2007; Samoff & Carrol, 2004). At the same time, she acknowledges the complex ways in which national and local forces interact and at times converge with external influences to shape education policies and proposes that detailed study at the local level is needed to better understand this “confluence,” where the global and the national meet. Keywords: africa; education; policy; review; west
• Review of Are you mixed? A war bride's granddaughter's narrative of lives in-between contested race, gender, class, and power by Fenty, Maya (2017) - I also recommend this volume to multiracial students, as these stories may empower them to thrive in an increasingly complex and multicultural world. Such discriminatory occurrences could not have been better portrayed than by author Sonia Janis in her book Are you mixed? Keywords: education; identity; janis; race; review
• Review of Empowering global citizens: A world course by Madero, Cristobal (2017) - I wonder if the authors’ confidence comes from the fact that Reimers’ Think Tank on Global Education provides a training course for teams of teachers who would implement the curriculum. I began my review of Empowering Global Citizens: A World Course in the days leading up to the recent U.S. presidential election. Keywords: citizens; curriculum; education; review; world

As a teacher myself, I find this The ABCs of How We Learn to be a perfect quick reference for different learning approaches. Keywords: abcs; book; learning; review
• Review of Education and conversation: Exploring Oakeshott’s legacy by Wearne, Eric (2017) - At least regarding education policy, Oakeshott’s work and the ideas explored in this collection could be a starting place for the left and right to find some sort of common ground. Conclusion Readers new to Oakeshott will likely find the chapters directly about him more informative about his thinking than the chapters inspired by him, but all of the chapters in this book are pertinent to current conversations in American education about the purposes of schooling, the pedagogies we use, and the fads of technocratic policymaking and “college and career readiness.” Keywords: conversation; education; oakeshott; review
• Review of Georg Lind’s How to teach morality by Ayers, William (2016) - If they did, yes, moral reasoning would be straight-forward and simple (and would not require reasoning at all—the compass would be pre-set and operating continuously on automatic pilot), but because they don’t, we are confronted at every turn with dilemmas and choices. The inevitable interconnectedness of modern life, as well as the ideal of democracy as a form of associative living, requires more urgent attention to moral reasoning as an aspect of our humanity, and a disposition to nourish.

• Review of Weapons of math destruction: How big data increases inequality and threatens democracy by Schrag, Francis (2017) - What makes this striking is that Cathy O’Neil has never read Foucault.1 In Discipline and Punish, Foucault contrasted the disciplinary power emerging in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries with that which existed previously in feudal societies. Cathy O’Neil has provided a superb demonstration of the dangers of our blind faith in digital technologies that only appear to benefit all but actually favor the already powerful. Keywords: data; destruction; education; o’neil; review
• Review of Building relationships, yielding results: How superintendents can work with school boards to create productive teams by Jabal, Eric (2017) - Hackett urges district leaders to invest the time because school board relationships are deeply personal: “[T]he two parties must possess a sense of optimism and forge strong bonds” (p. 27). Her strategic planning approach is rooted in Fullan’s notion of the learning leader for all: “Superintendents who are the best educational leaders view themselves as teachers of an enormous Review of Building Relationships, Yielding Results by E. Jabal 3 classroom, eager to instruct their students — an attentive legion of educators, school community, and school board members” (p. 88).

• Review of Composition in the age of austerity by Chenault, Krystel H. (2017) - The argument of this section is less that composition faculty have been wronged, as at times appears to be the chief argument of Part I, but that composition studies go beyond the college classroom and the devolution of writing to grammar and assessable skills robs many marginalized populations the voice and power composition education can help them develop. All in all, Composition in the Age of Austerity provides a rich, cogent discussion of neoliberalism through an effective mix of engrossing personal anecdotes and in-depth theoretical analysis through the lens of composition theory and social justice.

• Review of Giving voice: Mobile communication, disability, and inequality by Stewart, Jennifer (2017) - http://dx.doi.org/10.14507/er.v24.2239 Education Review /Reseñas Educativas 2 At a time when related services in special education are being hotly contended— not only at the school district level but in the Supreme Court—the ability to obtain and maintain access to assistive technology for students with disabilities is likely to become a more prevalent issue in the school and home environments. Through the course of semi structured interviews and participant observation in student homes, Alper finds that, despite the claims that these devices will give the student a form of self-representation and empowerment to use their own voice, the hardware and software involved still have the potential to foster fundamental inequalities in society. Keywords: education; review; students; technology
• Review of Disability studies: An interdisciplinary introduction by Bettencourt, Genia M. (2017) - Over the course of 10 chapters, Goodley provides an interdisciplinary overview of critical disability studies as shaped by educational, psychological, sociological, and critical theory perspectives. The interwoven nature and emphasis on theory would be better served by explicitly naming the focus as critical disability studies, perhaps even in the title. Keywords: disability; education; goodley; review; studies

• Review of Geography of education: Scale, space and location in the study of education by Bednarz, Sarah Witham (2017) - In his carefully written book Geography of Education, Colin Brock argues that geography should be included in this mix of approaches to education research in explicit and clear ways. Brock notes his book is intended for students of educational studies to inspire new forms of research; it is his attempt to link education research with geographic concepts and principles and to inspire the application of geography to education studies. Keywords: brock; education; geography; research; review
• Review of Peterson & Tudball's Civics and citizenship education in Australia: Challenges, practices and international perspectives by Haast, Byron (2018) - Several further challenges are routinely noted throughout discussion of CCE in an Australian context while remaining relevant to CCE education in other nations.

• Some lessons learned about teaching, research, and academic disputation by Erickson, Frederick (2017) - We taught at a YMCA, and as time went on I became more and more engaged with what was happening in that neighborhood and less engaged with music school, even as I continued for a fifth year and received a master’s degree in music history.

• Doubling down on serendipity by Snow, Catherine E. (2017) - Productive collaborations (and lots of child language data) were made possible by the node, and by the Network – notably through the establishment of the Child Language Data Exchange System (CHILDES), conceived in collaboration with Brian MacWhinney (MacWhinney & Snow, 1985, 1990) and in emulation of Roger Brown’s generosity in producing and sharing mimeographed copies of transcripts from Adam, Eve, and Sarah during the first days of child language research. In addition to being the site where I discovered child language as a field of research, McGill was where I met my future husband, Michael Baum, a fellow graduate Doubling down on serendipity 3 student in psychology.

• Review of Carla Shalaby's Troublemakers: Lessons in freedom from young children at school by Boveda, Mildred (2018) - Although very young children and students with cognitive and language disabilities may find it difficult to engage in the types of dialogues described in Freire’s books, Shalaby reminds educators that behaviors are also a form of communication; children communicate through their behavior, whether voluntary, involuntary, intentional, or unintentional. (Waitoller, Artiles, & Cheney, 2010, p. 29) Special education researchers and policymakers have long wrestled with overrepresentation of boys and Black children in “high-incidence” disabilities. Keywords: children; education; review; school; shalaby; teachers; troublemakers
• Review of Grit in the classroom: Building perseverance for excellence in today’s students by Cohen, Cynthia (2017) - While I find Sanguras Education Review /Reseñas Educativas 2 writes in a warm, personable voice, and she makes valuable analytical points about the psychological concept of grit and about how teachers can practically develop grit in their students, I do not recommend this book as priority reading for in-service and pre-service teachers due to its (a) weak foundation of evidentiary research, (b) omission of the debates over grit research, (c) evidence of the author’s fixed mindset, (d) distractingly folksy writing style, and (e) lack of an original theoretical or empirical contribution to the debates over grit in the classroom. Sanguras successfully provides a review of the concept of grit, and she provides some case studies that illuminate different aspects of how students have more grit than other students. Keywords: grit; review; sanguras; students; teachers
• Review of Compulsory: Education and the dispossession of youth in a prison school by Brandehoff, Robin (2017) - Embarking on interviews with young inmates, families, security personnel, and prison administration, Vaught unearths the raw impact that prison systems have on our youth and their families and the ways in which these systems continually work together to keep young men and women on the Inside1. In one interview, it is unveiled that penal systems justify their incarceration measures of allowing police to conduct neighborhood sweeps to arrest youth from families with criminal backgrounds as a “preventative” measure during summer and school breaks. Keywords: education; prison; review; school; vaught
• Review of Stahl's Identity, neoliberalism and aspiration: Educating white working-class boys by Fovet, Frederic (2018) - In a nutshell, these are young men who see themselves as ‘working class’ and also live in an area that historically both defines and perpetuates this construct: East London. He argues indeed that school plays an active role in the perpetuation of the notion of working class, and hence in the way these youths see themselves. Keywords: class; education; review; stahl; working
• Review of Newman & Zevin's Geography as inquiry: Teaching about and exploring the Earth as our home by Harris, Lauren McArthur (2018) - Here, again, the authors present a question that could guide instruction and student inquiry: “If you were a farmer, how would you respond to conditions of the 1920s and early 1930s” Geography as Inquiry presents many sample questions and cases that could lead to fruitful geographic inquiries in classrooms across K-16 grade levels. Keywords: education; geography; inquiry; review; teachers
• Review of Achievement for All in international classrooms: Improving outcomes for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities by Connolly, Grace (2018) - Ironically, Blandford fails to identify SEND students as an independent group from students labeled as vulnerable to underachievement in this book, a failure that other educational researchers have critiqued. Blandford’s concentration on socioeconomic status, home life, and parental involvement as the all-encompassing factors responsible for creating the academic achievement gap is a dangerous perspective, as SEND students and students vulnerable to underachievement exist uniquely in the classroom and require separate approaches to education.

• (Un)Chaining democracy: An essay review of Nancy MacLean’s Democracy in chains: The deep history of the Radical Right’s stealth plan for America by Schirmer, Eleni; Apple, Michael W. (2018) - According to MacLean, for Charles Koch, “only James Buchanan had also developed an operation strategy for how to get to that radically new society [envisioned by Hayek and von Mises], one that took as axiomatic what both Buchanan and Koch understood viscerally: that the enduring impediment to the enactment of their political vision was the ability of the American people, through the power of their numbers, to reject the program” (p. 193). With the goal of changing the democratic mechanism of “majority rule,” in 1997 Koch gave $10 million to start a James Buchanan Center for Political Economy at George Mason University, where Buchanan was employed.

• Review of Sage on the screen: Education, media, and how we learn by DeHart, Jason D. (2018) - Another take-away is the text’s deep look into more recent transformations in the world of media, including hypermedia, cloud media, and immersive media.

The American revolution in education by Schaffer, Connie (2018) - In 2015, the American Association of Colleges and Universities called for a re-envisioning of general education (Gaston, 2015).

• Review of Changing curriculum through stories: Character education for ages 10-12 by Clevenger, Aaron D. (2018) - Johnson and Johnson label these three actions as promotive interaction (cooperation), oppositional interaction (competition), or no interaction (individualistic efforts), and they suggest these behaviors together make up social interdependence. “Between that time and 1989, over 550 experimental and Review of Changing Curriculum through Stories by A.

• Review of The flight of the butterfly or the path of a bullet: Using technology to transform teaching and learning by Willinsky, John (2018) - Other teachers, however, use digital supports in the midst of more daring moves, as one teacher debates over paying slavery reparations to African Americans. My hope, if I can be allowed an aside, is this: in the course of this online research, teachers will introduce students to the qualities and richness of online materials resulting from increasing levels of open access to scholarship, archives, and museum collections, as well as, in a necessary complement, teaching them strategies for assessing the information reliability and integrity of websites, much as Wineburg and McGrew are developing (2017).

Keywords: book; education; review; teachers
• Review of Theories of early childhood education: Developmental, behaviorist, and critical by Nagase, Ayumi (2018) - As the number of jobs grow in the early childhood education field, so do training programs in community colleges and universities that address the need to prepare ECCE practitioners with strong skills in child development policy and advocacy, the capability to understand various ECCE approaches serving young children and families, and most importantly, deep understanding of child development theories and research to define good ECCE practices (NAEYC, 2011).

(2018) - The rapid drop off in higher education demand will overwhelm higher education sectors, he predicts, in ways not immediately evident to the most experienced education policy maker.

Essay review of The fifth wave: The evolution of American higher education by Dorn, Sherman (2020) - But many who share Crow’s commitment to public universities might worry that policymakers in other states will see ASU’s success as justification for further budget-cutting, with ASU slipping from a proof of concept for autonomy to an excuse for evisceration.

• Review of Educating students to improve the world by Estellés Frade, Marta (2020) - Although much effort (perhaps too much) has been devoted to defining what global citizenship education is and very little to how to make it effective in classroom, it does not mean that these debates are completely sterile, since the different ways of understanding this concept have inevitable practical consequences (see Oxley & Morris, 2013; Shultz, 2007). Yet, for the writer of this review, a more critical perspective towards school reform and global citizenship education is needed to avoid it becoming a mere addition to an already crowded curriculum or a reproducer of a Western hegemonic tradition.

An offshoot of this in the social studies curricular and instructional realms is the prevalence of white social studies, akin to the concept of whiteness in that it “seeks to maintain the status quo of the white dominant hegemonic narrative across K-12 history, economics, civics, geography, and other social sciences” (p. 272).

Keywords: apple; choice; education; homeschooling; review

• Improbable Probabilities: Education Cross Borders by Zhao, Yong (2025) - I published my first academic article around 1989, arguing that English teacher education should include meaningful content such as educational psychology, teaching methodology, and a grounding in education theory. Instead, they were spaces where middle school students used technology to serve their communities: making PowerPoint slides for teachers, taking photos for local businesses, creating digital yearbooks, or helping school tech staff keep computers running.

Waks Temple University, United States Qufu Normal University, China David C.

Berliner is equally critical of the daily practices of public schools. Keywords: berliner; democracy; education; essay; review; schools; university

Ewing by O'Neal, Desiree; Jones, Keena (2025) - Although public education has primarily been framed as the great equalizer, offering a path to opportunity, social mobility, and democratic citizenship, Ewing’s work reveals a far more troubling legacy. Coles, et al., 2021), Ewing dives deeper into the historical and structural forces that shape public education, citing the works of social justice advocates and historians to bring a more critical lens to the history of the United States.

• Review of Race, Curriculum, and the Politics of Educational Justice, by Wayne Au by Shearer, Rachel (2025) - He does this from a historical perspective, detailing how the desire for control and dominance has dictated education policy down to its manifestation in the classroom, into the modern rampancy of these oppressive tenets in our present social, cultural, and academic moment. From its transition to education policy in No Child Left Behind (NCLB), to its current iteration in the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), rather than serving as a metric for closing so-called “achievement gaps” between youth of color and their white colleagues, this testing model ultimately functions as a method of retributive justice (p. 67).

• Review of Testing and the Paradoxes of Fairness, by Howard Wainer and Daniel H. Robinson by Geisinger, Kurt (2025) - Second, in Geisinger (2023a), I reported that there were three reasons why schools made this admissions test policy change: (1) the pandemic made it difficult to test every student during their high school senior years, (2) the so-called Varsity Blues scandal—in which a number of rich and highly visible parents paid funds to individuals who had connections at universities to get their children admitted—made the country question the legitimacy of college admission tests, and (3) the Black Lives Matter movement accentuated the degree to which the higher education community failed to understand that this important societal group had experienced discrimination. It is more economical for institutions to use admissions tests, they argue, because it holds the educational costs down and perhaps maximizes institutional income because fewer students withdraw or fail out.

Di Nicola: puesto que la experiencia humana fundamental es el diálogo, el fundamento de la existencia reside «en participar de cada hombre al mundo común, en la reciprocidad( p. 156). Como observa A. Gramigna, en la época postmoderna, que coincide con la disolución de la idea fundacional del sujeto (sub-jectum), la unidad de sentido de la teoría educativa ya no es el sujeto- fundamento, sino un sujeto relacional, en continua evolución, un sujeto creativo y multiforme, implicado en una “danza relacional que lo transforma mientras que lo interconecta al mundo” (33); un sujeto comprometido en un proceso de determinación multirelacional.

Así, con la recopilación de En torno al casticismo (1901) se inauguraría un tipo de creación propia del intelectual público, que comparece en Europa en la crisis finisecular y cuya muestra más genuina y temprana en España estaría representada precisamente por D. Miguel, proa de los descontentos regeneracionistas y de la llamada generación del 98.

• Crítica y alternativas a la significación estadística en el contraste de hipótesis by Moreno, Teresa Lara (2015) - Dado que esta monografía es eminentemente metodológica, no puramente estadística y dirigida a investigadores en ciencias sociales, médicas y de la educación, los autores, en palabras suyas, han optado por usar un lenguaje directo, llano, uniformando notaciones, comprensible a una mayor audiencia, sin las florituras de demostraciones matemáticas que lo habrían hecho, si no incomprensible, sí al menos tedioso. El 2º capítulo se centra en la improcedencia de la Significación Estadística para el contraste de hipótesis ofreciendo una serie de razones: el uso de inferencias lógicas incorrectas en la determinación de la Significación Estadística, la improcedencia como algoritmo de decisión, la supeditación al tamaño muestral, la desconsideración de la idea de potencia del contraste, la irrelevancia cono detonador de la magnitud del efecto, que posibilita una generalización limitada, la arbitrariedad de la marca p = 0.05 y su relativización según la disciplina en que se aplica, la lateralidad genera ambigüedad en la inferencia, la asociación de su uso continuado a prácticas y supuestos investigadores cuestionables así como la proclividad de la Significación Estadística a múltiples e incorrectas interpretaciones y falsas concepciones.

• Resenha do Teoria e Educação no Labirinto do Capital, por Gaudêncio Frigotto e Maria Ciavatta by Andrade Oliveira, Dalila (2025) - Com o título Cidades, lugares, sujeitos: contribuições da literatura e da política, o autor se reporta a cenas freqüentes na realidade atual, 4 como a manifestação das mulheres argentinas na Praça de Maio exigindo seus cadáveres, ao mesmo tempo que busca na Tragédia Grega similitudes que possam explicar o sujeito tecido na transgressão. O pressuposto básico da autora é “a idéia de que para tornar os alunos e alunas pessoas que tenham uma atuação crítica na vida cotidiana, no plano social, no plano da cultura e da história, os próprios professores precisam estabelecer relações estreitas e críticas com a cultura,com a história e a sociedade”.

• Resenha do Para Quem Pesquisamos, para Quem Escrevemos: O Impasse dos Intelectuais, por Antônio Flávio Moreira by Fernandes, Ana Lucia C. (2025) - Estas reminiscências, em conjunto com os recursos teóricos que foi adquirindo, contribuíram para repensar a sua própria prática investigativa, à medida que percebia o equívoco de muitos pesquisadores (e também o seu, anteriormente) que iam ao campo cheios de certezas que condicionavam de antemão a investigação. Em Pinar, o autor identifica que o propósito não é guiar os que estão envolvidos na prática pedagógica, mas ressalta que mesmo opondo-se ao caráter técnico e rígido do discurso tradicional, acabava caindo numa certa postura ingênua e ao mesmo tempo autoritária.

(Orgs.) by Schuh Moore, Audrey-Marie (2025) - A mensagem central que permeia todos os textos reunidos nesta coletânea pode ser assim resumida: se pretendemos que a autonomia da profissão do magistério seja fortalecida, que os professores tenham maior poder de decisão sobre o processo pedagógico, e que as necessidades educacionais de toda a sociedade sejam satisfatoriamente atendidas, então todos aqueles diretamente envolvidos com o ensino devem se tornar mais críticos e desafiar as estruturas neoliberais que se tornaram hegemônicas nas últimas décadas.

• Memórias Acadêmicas by Paro, Vitor Henrique (2025) - Não é preciso lembrar que foi sob o manto desse amor cristão tão puro que a Igreja Católica perpetrou as atrocidades testemunhadas pela História; e que, com alguns agravantes políticos, os neopentecostais buscam infligir a nós, inocentes contemporâneos. Em meus primeiros anos de docência na PUC- SP, vivenciei certo contraste entre o rigor que eu trazia do etos feuspeano – e que me fazia ser bastante exigente com relação ao esforço por parte dos estudantes – e certo laxismo vigente no Centro de Educação da PUC-SP, que favorecia a negligência dos discentes com relação ao estudo.

• Resenha do O Professor Invisível: Imaginário, trabalho docente e vocação, por Rodolfo Ferreira by Gama, Zacarias Jaegger (2024) - Por tudo isto, “O Professor Invisível” é um convite ao leitor, em particular aqueles que têm interesse em dar visibilidade aos “frutos do carvalho”, ou melhor, conhecer os professores que se distanciam de outros que, noutra tipologia, mesmo em face da possibilidade de se revelarem mestres ainda assim podem ser denominados de “profissionais, eucaliptus, gigolôs”. Em função desse seu pressuposto, seu objetivo de estudo é o de perscrutar os mistérios que envolvem a vocação, porém, não como destino predeterminado, mas como “uma das dimensões de humanidade que não nega qualquer outra”.

(2004) - O que observa é que indicadores, como rendimento, condições de saneamento, mortalidade, expectativa de vida e educação, dão conta, de certa forma, que a situação da população negra é bem pior que a da população branca.

• Reseña de Los Hijos de la Infancia: Estudio sobre la Maternidad y el Embarazo en la Adolescencia, por Luis Galanes by Martínez Ramos, Loida M. (2004) - Al desmenuzar las estadísticas que han creado al fenómeno social como un “problema epidémico”, el autor afirma que no existe tal crisis epidémica como lo presentan los medios de comunicación (y también quienes hacen políticas públicas), que en el análisis del embarazo de jóvenes ha habido un desplazamiento de una mirada criminal hacia una higienista-salubrista y que las prácticas sexuales de los y las jóvenes tienen su correlato en el Siglo XVIII, lo que contribuye a deconstruir el discurso de la llamada “epidemia”. Si ese fuera el principal factor responsable de los delitos, habría que suponer que las tasas de delincuencia aumentarían con un atraso de 15 a 20 años respecto al incremento de las tasas de divorcio y de los nacimientos de hijos ilegítimos, dado que serían los hijos de estas familias destruidas quienes liderarían la ola delictiva.

When oppressive interactions between White teachers and diverse students occur, they often stem from teachers’ unacknowledged assumptions about their own position at the top of human hierarchy where the path to progress and improvement of students’ social condition could only lie through students’ emulating teachers’ experiences rather than teachers’ emulating their students’ experiences.

• Review of Social justice literacies in the English classroom: Teaching practice in action by Dodge, Autumn Macie (2018) - The sequence of the book leads the reader on a sort of developmental spectrum of social justice literacies—from the definition and theoretical grounding of social justice and critical literacies, to how teachers emerge as advocates for social justice, to building the teacher-student relationships and classroom community necessary for developing students’ critical literacies and social justice dispositions, to social justice through curriculum and texts, and finally, to social justice in action beyond the classroom walls. Conversations on social justice in education include a range of topics: preparing new teachers to enact social justice pedagogies (e.g., Cochran-Smith, 2004); understanding components necessary to teach content through a social justice lens (e.g., Hackman, 2005); practicing culturally relevant pedagogy (e.g., Ladson-Billings, 1995); leveraging texts to develop students’ critical literacies (e.g., Schieble, 2012); engaging students in social action projects (e.g., Wilson et al., 2007); and more.

So Much Reform, So Little Change: The Persistence of Failure in Urban Schools, and Kerchner, Charles T. ; Menefee-Lib by Shipps, Dorothy. (2015) - As Larry Cuban put it nearly two decades ago, “Those who believe in rational approaches to organizing change would argue that if policymakers only asked tough questions, thought through issues analytically, examined their beliefs, or avoided playing the politics of the problems while carefully using available research findings, school reforms would not keep returning like bad pennies” (Cuban, 1990 p. 6).

• Critial Assessment of Popkewitz's Cosmopolitanism and the Age of School Reform: An Essay Review. Vol. 13 No. 4 by Spector, Hannah (2015) - Perhaps the only thing that Kant and Popkewitz‘s cosmopolitanism might share is their abstract qualities concerning man— Kant‘s being an ambitious, optimistic model of man‘s potential to live in harmony with each other ―by the virtue of their common ownership of the earth‘s surface‖ (p. 118), while Popkewitz‘s cosmopolitanism shows a deep-seeded suspicion if not paranoia of what it brings to schooling and children who are systematically included and excluded from becoming ―the future citizens of the nation‖ (p. xv). In addition to equating cosmopolitanism with rational behavior, Popkewitz elucidates the ―double gesture‖ of cosmopolitanism—also referred to as ―abjection‖ (p. 6) —which simultaneously includes and excludes (p. xv) children in educational projects, such as that found in one of the text‘s main illustrations, the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act.

Harvard Education Press. by McQuillan, Patrick J. (2015) - While the title highlights the book‟s applicability to small school reform, the authors touch upon issues and topics that seem endemic to many reform endeavors— tensions between local control and centralized authority, the need to create a shared vision for reform, and strategies for enlisting broad support for change. To introduce this study, the authors set a theoretical framework for what follows by examining many common assumptions underlying educational reform, including those endorsed by the political left, such as small school reform itself, as well as those embraced by the political right, including the value of choice and competition as driving forces behind educational change.

Blacker by Levinson, Natasha (2025) - He makes it clear Education Review/Reseñas Educativas/Resenhas Educativas 5 that psychedelic experiences can be worthwhile for their own sake, just as many other experiences are valuable in and of themselves.

Vol. 10 No. 2 by Geelan, David (2015) - The point that the difficulties of conducting scientific research in classrooms are well known and have a long history is a good one, and I enjoyed very much reading Campbell and Stanley’s (1966) thoughtful discussion of the very real difficulties of conducting experimental research in educational contexts, and their careful description of methods that will work despite those difficulties. Rather, I note some of the strengths and weaknesses of experimental research, and suggest that we should use it for its strengths and complement it with other methods to mitigate its weaknesses. Keywords: book; carifio; education; perla; research; theory
• War, what is it good for? An essay review. by Scott, Jerrie Cobb (2015) - A central theme of this book is that  the politicization of literacy in public debates has consistently shown itself to be  the winning warrior.  The rise was marked by the highly  acclaimed holistic approach to literacy that served as an model for other nations,  and the fall by evidence of failures of this dominant method to achieve one of its  major strategic objectives: “closing the achievement gap” between low‐income and  middle/high‐income students.

(2015) - This shift, Theobald argues has led to an inevitable marginalization of the rural/farmer/land in favor of the urban/merchant/market. We might in the space created by the current rupture or legitimation crisis―which has only become deeper since the publication of Education Now with the global economic crisis―seek out a very different set of political ideas, ideas which are more pro-social and better suited to conditions of multinational globalization, new forms of environmental challenge and generalized conditions of contemporary risk.

(2015) - There are many reasons why it Rosa: Savage neoliberalism and subaltern responses 3 is difficult to inspire teachers to become active in political projects that work towards the subversion of socialization to domination and the building of a more humane society beyond the confines of schools.

• Practical Work i n Secondary Science : A M inds - On Approach. by Rockwell, Elsie (2015) - In deciding to move into research, he found that “[t]he only firm conclusion that I was able to reach was that there was little useful research- based information on the general effectiveness and affective value of practical work that could be used to help teachers within the context of their own teaching practice” (p. 3). And yet, teachers feel that “part of the essence of being „a science teacher‟ entails the use of practical work whenever possible in their teaching practice” (p. 122).

• The paradoxes of a liberal democratic education: An essay review. by Covaleskie, John F. (2015) - On the one hand, democratic education is designed to make sure that no citizens are held in thrall to a way of life they have not chosen freely, while at the same time it must help root citizens deeply in moral and normative communities from which they will receive the resources to sustain and participate in democratic life.

• Review of Educated in Whiteness: Good Intentions and Diversity on Schools by Seese, Dennis James (2015) - Professor Castagno then takes this focus to its logical extreme, observing that the operative neoliberal school reform framework, a framework predicated on competition between schools for desperately needed funding, has successfully transformed schools themselves from institutions to individuals.

• Review of Wubbena et al.'s News media and the neoliberal privatization of education by Oromaner, Mark J. (2018) - Given the lack of a summary chapter, much dated data reporting on old rather than new media, a failure to always distinguish always between neoliberal and conservative, I suggest that the primary audiences will will comprise knowledgeable researchers interested in studying the impact of media on public education policy, and faculty and students in mass media or education policy. The problem with the inclusion of this interesting historical piece is that the emphasis is on resistance to the narrative presented in mainstream white press and not on resistance to neoliberal education policies.

• Review of The global education race: Taking the measure of PISA and international testing by Smith, William C. (2017) - The book is not anti-PISA or anti-testing but instead calls for a more careful interpretation of PISA results by both the media and public.

• Review of Thinking like an economist: How efficiency replaced equality in U.S. public policy by Conder Lussier, Abby (2023) - Despite its seemingly uneven moral stance, economic reasoning does have value and is easily transferrable to work in higher education. For some, grasping frequently convoluted processes and concepts of policymaking may seem a daunting task; yet, policy formation is the foundation of higher education and therefore must be understood, even if only at the most fundamental levels. Keywords: berman; education; policy; reasoning

• Review of 13 ideas that are transforming the community college world by Raby, Rosalind Latiner (2019) - This book is a needed addition to the field of community college education, as it succinctly helps students who study at community colleges and those wanting to embark on future leadership roles to understand why current reform efforts were needed, what historical connections the reform efforts were based upon, and the consequences of action moving into the future. Even the name, community college, “avoids the pejorative and the hyperbolic and is generic enough to include a variety of values, missions, Education Review 2 purposes, programs, policies and practices under its ‘big ten’,” as O’Banion notes (p. 3). Keywords: chapter; college; community; education; ideas; programs; student; success
• Review of The Science of Reading in Action: Brain-friendly Strategies Every Teacher Needs to Know, by Malia Hollowell by Elassi, Amal (2025) - While helpful for instructional organization, this model reinforces the author’s reliance on a narrow cognitive framework, with little connection to more recent developments in literacy research.

Schudde & H. Jabbar. Keywords: college; community; education; transfer

• Review of The great mistake: How we wrecked public universities and how we can fix them by Zipf, Sarah (2017) - Newfield criticizes the main thesis of Arun and Roska’s (2011) head-turning book Academically Adrift, which placed the blame for academic drift on student behavior and lack of instructor effort, as hiding the root causes of threats to high quality higher education. Comparing the benefits of public higher education to that of K-12 makes sense, as there are similar benefits to society and somewhat similar budget shortfalls.

• Review of April Larremore's Disrupting gendered pedagogies in the early childhood classroom by Ribera, Deborah (2018) - By reflecting on the multiple subjectivities readers occupy as early childhood educators, teachers, and adults and providing explanations of postmodern theoretical materials that can be used to challenge the foundational assumptions of the field of early childhood education, this book can serve as a primer on how to pursue that mindset. However in her letter to early childhood teachers (Chapter 7), Larremore claims that by becoming a critically disruptive teacher “the children in your classroom will benefit in ways we have not even begun to imagine” (p. 106).

• Review of Why knowledge matters: Rescuing our children from failed educational theories by Currie-Knight, Kevin (2017) - Hirsch’s big idea is that content knowledge - rather than general reading skills - is the prime mover of successful reading, and our collective emphasis on teaching the latter over the former in reading instruction has undermined student success. I might, instead, believe that if content knowledge is the key to reading success, and children are almost certain not to be interested in the same content at the same times (and the less interest, the less retention), the best approach is the more individualistic one Hirsch criticizes. Keywords: content; education; hirsch; knowledge; reading
• Review of The knowledge illusion: Why we never think alone by Currie-Knight, Kevin (2017) - They aim to convince the reader we are all susceptible to the cognitive bias of knowledge illusion because our brains are not well built for knowledge retention, but rather quite adept at overestimating the amount of knowledge they individually contain. It is believed a head full of individual knowledge is what enables humans to function best, and in education, this is how we prepare students.

(2015) - The fact that Smith has excerpted from a number of Williams’s unpublished work—many of his novels never saw the light of day—gives us a glimpse of the frustrated artist, poet, and screen writer that may not be visible to those of us who know Raymond Williams only through his powerful critical analyses of cultural politics.

• Review of Curriculum as spaces: Aesthetics, community and the politics of place by Stites, Renee E. (2016) - Chapter five is somewhat problematic only in the sense that the authors’ focus on urban spaces limits the power that place- based curricula can have in all school environments.

• The debate on educational and psychological testing in the United States: An essay review and outsider perspective with some philosophical musings. Review of Madaus, George; Russell, Michael; and Higgi by Garsdal, Jesper; Ydesen, Christian. (2015) - What seems to be missing in the work by Madaus, Russell, and Higgins is a clear and upfront discussion of the vast empirical datasets and previous studies on intelligence testing relating them to notions of evidence, significance, practice, and theory of science. In regard to empirical data about intelligence, the Phelps anthology states that intelligence tests measure a general intelligence in the individual (Gottfredson, 2009, p. 30).

• Review of The textbook and the lecture by DeHart, Jason D. (2020) - In terms of other readership, the content has the potential to be intriguing for secondary and university-level teachers who are implementing new media practices in classrooms on a daily basis – and may especially undergird the practices of those teachers who have found opposition to the use of these media. In high schools and middle schools, barriers are often raised and students and teachers are left with questions of where new media practices fit in an age when traditional textbooks and interaction with printed matter are increasingly being replaced with more immediate digital formats and ways of communicating.

• Ideologically misframing the civic empowerment gap: An essay review of No Citizen Left Behind by Wheeler-Bell, Quentin (2013) - Education Review http://www.edrev.info 8 Levinson reproduces the ideological practice of culturalizing politics in two ways: 1) she decouples the politics of recognition from redistribution by shifting the discussion of civic empowerment solely into the discourse of multiculturalism, when in fact civic empowerment is more about class than multiculturalism; 2) by making this illegitimate shift she treats empowerment almost exclusively as a cultural problem, and thus fails to provide a sustained discussion on the type of civic education needed to address the class aspect of the civic empowerment gap. On the other hand, however, the book has an ideological vision of civic empowerment, which leads Levinson to systematically misdiagnose the problem she set out to address: the civic empowerment gap.

(2017) - Greene’s work supports the assertion that when adult helpers make the shift from assuming challenging behaviors result from a lack of motivation to the belief that challenging behaviors result from a lack of skills, the shift likewise moves the focus from student behaviors to a focus on student skills.
