Public Afairs, New York, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Faced with a spirited eleven-year-old daughter, a concern about what therapists have called a 'poisonous' youth culture -- especially for girls -- and a conviction that parents need powerful tools to help their daughters realize their potential, educator-activist Diana Meehan was disappointed in the selection of schools available. So she decided along with two other mothers to create one, based on social science and brain research on how girls learn best. The result, The Archer School in L.A., has in only ten years become a model for girls' schools nationwide.In this entertaining, inspiring book, Meehan describes her obstacle-ridden journey to create a new institution to serve girls first and foremost, while laying out through vivid stories and examples what girls need to thrive. She explains why co-education so often doesn't serve them (just as it doesn't serve boys), takes sides… Leer más

Crown Publishers, New York, 2007. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. In these affectionate letters to Francesca, a first grade teacher at an inner-city school in Boston, Jonathan Kozol vividly describes his repeated visits to her classroom while, under FrancescaÂs likably irreverent questioning, he also reveals his own most personal stories of the years that he has spent in public schools. Letters to a Young Teacher reignites a numberof the controversial issues Jonathan has powerfully addressed in recent years: the mania of high-stakes testing that turns many classrooms into test-prep factories where spontaneity and critical intelligence are no longer valued, the invasion of our public schools by predatory private corporations, and the inequalities of urban schools that are once again almost as segregated as they were a century ago. But most of all, these letters are rich with the happiness of teaching children, the curiosity and jubilant excitement children bring into… Leer más

Pelican / Penguin Books, Great Britain, 1968. Softcover. Good Condition. Pelican A965."In the heat of the great debate over grammar and comprehensive schools we are in danger of discounting the immediate future of two thirds of British schoolchildren - those who attend the local secondary modern,This book is a school report with several differences. John Partridge taught at a new and well-equipped Midlands secondary modern school and discovered that authoritarianism and corporal punishment permeated its whole structure. He found that 'streaming' continued long after the eleven-plus, even though it was unsuitable, inaccurate and manifestly unfair in operation. The watered-down academic education provided had no relevance to pupils' future lives and occupations. The school seemed to justify its existence only by repeatedly ramming home its pupils' inadequacies: boys in low streams often became school odd-job men, and others in no way subnormal drifted out of school unable… Leer más

Simon & Schuster, New York, 2002. Hardcover. Very Good Condition/Very Good. Different minds learn differently," writes Dr. Mel Levine, one of the best-known education experts and pediatricians in America today. And that's a problem for many children, because most schools still cling to a one-size-fits-all education philosophy. As a result, these children struggle because their learning patterns don't fit the schools they are in. In A Mind at a Time, Dr. Levine shows parents and others who care for children how to identify these individual learning patterns. He explains how parents and teachers can encourage a child's strengths and bypass the child's weaknesses. This type of teaching produces satisfaction and achievement instead of frustration and failure. Different brains are differently wired, Dr. Levine explains. There are eight fundamental systems, or components, of learning that draw on a variety of neurodevelopmental capacities. Some students are strong in certain… Leer más

Chambers, Great Britain, 1979. Softcover. Good Condition. I have written this book to put forward a new theory of reading the cognitive clarity theory. But the book is not all theory. I have tried to show how this theory can help students, teachers and parents to improve children's education in reading at home and at school. Although the cognitive clarity theory is new, it is derived from other theories and from a wide range of educational, linguistic and psychological research. The cognitive clarity theory is thus a bringing together of the insights of many col leagues in these disciplines. What the theory owes to these colleagues is clearly acknowledged as the evidence is presented. But I must also be thankful for the experiences that have led me in this direction. I worked as a school teacher for nearly ten years before I became an experimental psychologist. During my years as a teacher I was often baffled by children's difficulties in learning to read. Then, only two or three years… Leer más
