Spectacular Things Happen Along the Way: Lessons from an Urban Classroom (Teaching for Social Justice)by Brian D. Schultz
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:Prior to joining the education faculty at Northeastern Illinois U.,
Schultz taught at an impoverished grade school in the Chicago public
school system. Schultz entered that arena with previous experience
teaching at the university level, guiding groups in adventure
education and Outward Bound expeditionary learning, and providing
corporate consulting for several years--all of which may explain his
resistance to "teaching to the test" and his interest in creating a
curriculum based on his students' needs, wants, and desires. He
presents a reflective account of how he challenged his students to
identify a problem in their community that they wanted to fix, and to
explore possible solutions. Educators and parents will enjoy this
fascinating and thought-provoking story of how an alternative
approach to the more typical high-stakes testing and standardization
of education can be used to enable children to transform themselves.
Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis:When Schultz challenged his fifth-grade students to name problems in their community, they unanimously focused on replacing their dilapidated school building. This moving story portrays the students' attempts at solving this real-world problem through a year-long project that they developed with Schultz.
