Publisher's Synopsis
The third edition of Thoughtful Teachers, Thoughtful Schools continues its tradition of providing an unusually current, comprehensive, analytic examination of all the important issues in American education today. It includes over 60 articles compiled from the pages of Education Week, American education's universally respected newspaper and Teacher Magazine, the nation's most thoughtful magazine for teachers. Complex issues and developments in education are presented in clear, compelling, and engagingly-written prose. Written by experienced education writers, many of whom are nationally-recognized authorities in their own right, the articles are alive with the insights and opinions of the country's leading educators and policymakers. Thoughtful Teachers, Thoughtful Schools provides an overview of American schools-the structure of the system; profiles of today's students, teachers, and programs; the curriculum issues; the money flow; and the politics-that will prepare and empower tomorrow's teachers.
