Böcker av Seymour B. Sarason

In this second edition of his original insightful collection of letters to the first president of the 21st century, Seymour B. Sarason details how to rethink school reform.

This unique resource promotes the creation of productive learning contexts, which allow students to bring all that they are to the learning process, as essential to successful educational reform.

This work probes the topic of teaching as a performing art, focusing on the role of teachers in galvanizing an audience - their students. It argues that teachers will better engage learners if they are prepared in the ""artistry"" of doing so.

The majority of states have charter school legislation, but too many charter schools could fail unless school reformers consider the pitfalls in creating new settings. This text provides a conceptual ""road map"" for educators and legislators to prepare and overcome predictable problems.

In this text Professor Sarason has responded to the request to track the evaluation of his ideas about school change by selecting papers and excerpts from his books that illustrate where his ideas come from. Introductions are provided for each selection.

A journal examining the impact of global IT from a publisher of quality research Information Technology for Development is a journal that specifically addresses global information technology issues and opportunities. It's dedicated to providing quality research, including social and technical research regarding information technology's effects on economic, social and human development. This journal's purpose includes serving as a forum for discussions about strategies, best practices, tools and techniques for assessing the impact of IT infrastructure, whether it's in government or the private sector. This is a single issue of the journal, Volume 11, Number 1, from 2005.

This title discusses: why people choose to become teachers; the changing efforts to reform teacher education; and the factors that have not been considered when developing teacher-training programmes.

So many reformers talk about fundamental changes in schooling without understanding what such deep changes entail for children, teachers, and administrators. Seymour Sarason does. In his provocative, mind-bAnding and passionate style, Sarason again argues against short-term repairs of schools.

Once again, Sarason leads the way, with a unique and provocative perspective on organizational collaboration. In this penetrating work, Sarason and Lorenz tackle the problem of decreased in schools and health and social service agencies.

"Sarason challenges educators to understand that to continue to struggle for 'power over' rather than 'power with' overlooks the mutual interest of all parties that will stifle any real progress in education reform. In a classroom utilizing effective teaching practices students would respond to the question, 'How do you rate this book?' with all thumbs up." --Choice
