From the Back Cover

Teaching and Schooling: Prior to and Post-September 11 examines 2,500 years of historical, philosophical, and educational thought, forcing the reader to think and rethink the issues of schooling and society. This book is concerned with life and death, peace and war, good and evil, miseducation and education, achievement and aptitude, and equality and inequality. It begins with the ancient Greeks and Romans and ends with a post-September 11 society, including American, Chinese, Indian, and Arabic cultures. At the level of society, specific topics deal with religion, morality, justice, colonialism, global poverty, the horrors of the 20th century-war, death camps, and racial/ethnic hatred-and now the new century with terrorism and cloning. At the educational level, the focus is on race, gender, class, social stratification, school finance, black/white achievement gaps, affirmative action, quotas, reparations, computers, satellite communications, and global education and understanding. The nature of the subject matter is controversial and the prose written in a critical, honest, and passionate style. For anyone interested in education

From the Back Cover

100 vignettes based on real-life classroom challenges are useful for guiding critical reflections on effective teaching and are linked to the CEC Professional Standards for special education teachers.

Vignettes draw upon real-life challenges encountered in the field of special education by both novice and veteran teachers as they attempt to apply best practice standards in particular classroom situations.
Each vignette is brief, making them ideal for use as a teaching tool during a class session.
The vignettes are arranged according to the ten categories of the CEC Professional Standards so that instructors can be sure that specific knowledge and skills are covered.
Each vignette presents a challenge and guided questions that allow instructors to guide students through the reflective process.

What Reviewers Are Saying…
