Long Description

This is a practical, bold, no-holds barred look at challenges facing educational leaders and the university programs that prepare them through mid-century. It examines key continuities and discontinuities of current times for school, education, and society. Both practice and preparation occur in contested social space, the implications of which are explored in a post industrial, digital age.The stark warning signs of the conflict roiling educational leadership includes the re-segregation and marketization of the public schools; the demonization of teacher unions; attempts to de-professionalize professional preparation; the continuing achievement gap which ignores larger social inequalities; the debasement of education degrees by online diploma mills; the escalating culture of numbers and cheating scandals; and the erosion of full-time, seasoned

Review Quote

Giving Stone Arch Readers I finally placed a large order for Stone Arch books this week. I say "finally" because I have been intending to get these ordered since last February, but ran out of funds. My order included many Vortex, Shade, and Pathways titles plus additional titles in many of the series where we had only individual titles. The graphic novels we own are always checked out so I knew any new graphic titles would be avidly received. While I was ordering, I had members of the Library Club checking and rechecking my lists against books received, books ordered, books owned, books lost, and books being previewed. They loved debating every title on the list and making sure enough people intended to read it as soon as it was ready. I kept stating, "I'm not going to buy a book that just sits on the shelf unread." They worked so hard on this list that you would have thought they were spending their own funds. Our last recheck involved removing the multiple copies that they kept slipping in. "I know you love Claudia," I'd say, "but we can't purchase 8 copies of the same book right now. Let's get 8 different titles instead." Now that the order is finished, I can go back to reviewing and previewing the elementary titles I've received from Capstone Publishing. Have you seen the new Stone Arch Readers? The publisher's series summary states: Stone Arch Readers take a well-known concept and revived it. This three-level reader series combines fresh story concepts and enticing art. Each level will have it's own look and feel. Sight words and basic sentence structures will keep every level true to its purpose, and a parent letter will keep everyone on track. Stone Arch Readers bring the excitement back to learning to read. One aspect of these that I liked better than some of their competitors was the information on the back of the book showing what makes a title a Level 1, 2, or 3 reader. For example, Level 1 titles have * simple sentences * easy vocabulary * word repetition * red banding Level 2 titles have * longer sentences * higher vocabulary * easy dialogue * turquoise banding Level 3 titles have * full paragraphs * higher word count * high-interest topics * purple banding So many different publishers have brands, levels, and unique terms that I get confused. As a parent and a librarian who taught in elementary for 19 years, I appreciate this simple information on the back of a book. Of course there is information on the reading level (RL) and the Guided Reading Level and each book in the series is color-coded to match the level as I indicated in the bullets above. For level 1 I read Mud Mess by Melinda Melton Crow. Illustrated by Ronnie Rooney.
