[SR: 4594497], Paperback, [EAN: 9780813327440], Routledge, Routledge, Book, [PU: Routledge], Routledge, This study outlines a vision of school that can be used for school reform. At the heart of this vision is a culture that focuses on students' attention on learning and on its intrinsic worth and value for all while minimizing the stress on competing within a social hierachy. Included are case studies of two American schools in the process of realizing this vision., 11119, Psychology & Counseling, 11121, Adolescent Psychology, 11130, Applied Psychology, 11132, Child Psychology, 11149, Counseling, 11160, Creativity & Genius, 11162, Developmental Psychology, 13922612011, Evolutionary Psychology, 11172, Experimental Psychology, 11173, Forensic Psychology, 11177, History, 16311181, Medicine & Psychology, 11186, Mental Illness, 11164, Neuropsychology, 11189, Occupational & Organizational, 11192, Pathologies, 11194, Personality, 11196, Physiological Aspects, 227701, Psychiatry, 11199, Psychoanalysis, 11201, Psychopharmacology, 11203, Psychotherapy, TA & NLP, 11205, Reference, 11207, Research, 11209, Sexuality, 11223, Social Psychology & Interactions, 11229, Testing & Measurement, 10, Health, Fitness & Dieting, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 6511988011, General, 6511980011, Psychology, 173514, Medical Books, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 69830, Administration, 69829, Education Theory, 5267708011, Schools & Teaching, 8975347011, Education & Teaching, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 16022391, Reform & Policy, 8975365011, Charter Schools, 8975366011, Federal Legislation, 8975368011, School Safety, 69829, Education Theory, 5267708011, Schools & Teaching, 8975347011, Education & Teaching, 1000, Subjects, 283155, Books, 491352, Administration, 468224, Education, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books, 491490, Psychology, 491492, Clinical Psychology, 684296011, Cognitive Psychology, 491496, Developmental Psychology, 684297011, Neuropsychology, 684298011, Psychopathology, 491494, Psychotherapy, 468214, Social Sciences, 465600, New, Used & Rental Textbooks, 2349030011, Specialty Boutique, 283155, Books<

At no point in history has the importance of education been greater. Yet, instead of rising to the challenge, schools are often mired in a morass of conflicting expectations and demands, overwhelmed by an array of new thing to try and to do. In this context, what is often lost - and what is desperately needed - is a vision of school and schooling, an overall view of purpose an direction. In the ensuing pages, we speak to this need. A vision of school is presented that can - and we feel should - guide school improvement and reform. Martin L.
