School ChoiceThe End of Public Education?Mercedes K. Schneider is a secondary school teacher in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, education blogger, and speaker. Visit her blog at deutsch29.wordpress.com.

Foreword by Karen GJ Lewis

“This is a comprehensive, accessible explanation of what school choice really is. . . . It’s up to us to take this wealth of information, use it, and create a movement that fights for democracy, real accountability, and ultimately, excellent public schools for all.”

—From the Foreword by Karen GJ Lewis, president, Chicago Teachers Union

“Schneider cuts through the fog to get to the hard choices ‘school choice’ forced upon communities that want the best for all their children. Her book gives valuable insights for this important debate.”

—Anthony Cody, Oakland, CA, public school teacher and blogger

Are vouchers and charters superior to local-board-run public schools? In this book, Schneider argues that there is no clear research supporting this view and, in fact, there is increasing evidence of charter mismanagement. She documents many important school choice issues, including the impoverishment of public schools to support privatized schools, questionable disciplinary practices, and community disruptions. School Choice: The End of Public Education? is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the past and future of public education in America.

The Privatization of EducationA Political Economy of Global Education ReformAntoni Verger is associate professor of education policy; Clara Fontdevila is a Ph.D. candidate in sociology; Adrián Zancajo is a Ph.D. candidate in sociology, all at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.

Education privatization is a global phenomenon that crystallizes in countries with very different cultural, political, and economic backgrounds. In this book, the authors examine how privatization policies

are being adopted and why so many countries are engaging in this type of education reform. The authors explore the contexts, key personnel, and policy initiatives that explain the worldwide advance of the private sector in education, and identify six different paths toward education privatization—as a drastic state sector reform (e.g., Chile, the U.K.), as an incremental reform (e.g., the U.S.A.), in social-democratic welfare states, historical public-private partnerships (e.g., Netherlands, Spain), de facto privatization in low-income countries, and privatization via disaster.

Book Features:• The first comprehensive, in-depth investigation of the political

economy of education privatization at a global scale.• An analysis of the different strategies, discourses, and agents that have

contributed to advancing (and resisting) education privatization trends. • An examination of the role of private corporations, policy entrepreneurs,

philanthropic organizations, think-tanks, and teacher unions.

After the “At-Risk” Label Reorienting Educational Policy and PracticeKeffrelyn D. Brown is an associate professor of cultural studies in education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas at Austin.

This book examines how the use of the “at-risk” category and label creates problems for students and teachers.

Drawing from research across various education sites, the author illustrates how educators recognize the label’s potential to redress issues of equity, but warns that it can also stigmatize the students so labeled. Brown explores how the labeling and subsequent practices by teachers and schools actually affect students, such as classifying many individuals as deficient. The text provides a historical overview, discusses the role of federal education policy and teaching, and includes tools to help readers acquire more complex, critical understandings of risk in educational practice.

After the “At-Risk” Label not only challenges the education community to reorient itself to a more equitable discourse, it provides a framework for changing the structural conditions of schooling to better serve all students.

Restoring Dignity in Public SchoolsHuman Rights Education in ActionMaria Hantzopoulos, associate professor and coordinator, Adolescent Education Certification Program, Vassar College.

”This book provides what most of us don’t have: hope that a school based on human rights can actually exist in urban education. It will inspire grassroots activists and educators alike to envision something tangible to fight for.”—Sally Lee, executive director, Teachers Unite

“The testimonies in this book remind us that schools can, in fact, be transformational communities. This is a work of head and heart, a call to reimagine schools as sites of critique and collaboration, purpose and possibility.”

—Bill Bigelow, curriculum editor, Rethinking Schools

Restoring Dignity in Public Schools demonstrates how urban public schools can create thriving, authentic centers of learning. Drawing from rich narratives of human rights education (HRE) in action, the author shows how school leaders can create an environment in which a culture of dignity, respect, tolerance, and democracy flourishes. The book examines the dynamics of HRE in practice, defines its constituent elements, and explains how these components work in tandem to produce schooling that encourages young people to critically interact with the world around them and imagine different alternatives for the future. This timely book provides a viable alternative to the currently favored strategies of increased testing, privatization, and disciplinary control.

Untangling Urban Middle School Reform Clashing Agendas for Literacy Standards and Student SuccessCynthia D. Urbanski is a Writing Project teacher consultant at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and ethnographic researcher with the Renaissance West Community Initiative.

Foreword by Elyse Eidman-Aadahl

“Teachers and administrators who are trying to untangle new college- and career-ready standards and district curricular and

assessment requirements, which is to say almost everyone in education, will find this book extremely useful.” 

—Tom Fox, California State University

At Rosa Parks, a middle school in a crime-ridden neighborhood, students are advised to “do as they are told” and they will succeed. Unfortunately,

“doing what they are told” often translates into repeating information given to them by the teacher, especially when it comes to writing. Meanwhile, students in an affluent neighborhood nearby are encouraged to be creative and think critically. This book examines the experience of one school’s resistance to the deficit model of education and how it represents the overall story of urban school reform. Highlighting the consequences of the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in literacy, the author weighs the perspectives of teachers, National Writing Project consultants, and administrators. Her up-close analysis illuminates how rigid accountability structures shift power away from the teachers and administrators who know the students best.

Teaching for Equity in Complex TimesNegotiating National Standards in a High-Performing Bilingual School Jamy Stillman, associate professor, University of Colorado, Boulder, Lauren Anderson, associate professor, Connecticut College, with John Beltramo, Kathryn Struthers and Joyce Gomez-Najarro

In schools serving high concentrations of bilingual learners, it can be especially challenging for teachers to maintain commitments to equity-minded instruction

while meeting the demands of new educational policies, including national standards. This book details how one school integrated equity pedagogy into standards-based curriculum and produced exemplary levels of achievement. The authors identify specific tensions that emerged, concerning:• The degree of academic struggle that is generative for student learning,

and the point at which such struggle becomes counterproductive. • The holding of high expectations for all learners and the provision

of differentiated, student-centered learning experiences. • The CCSS emphasis on engaging students around more

complex text and the contested determination of what constitutes complexity in text and in teaching.

• The influence of high-stakes accountability on school norms and practices, including teachers’ interpretations and enactment of new national standards.

• The performance pressures placed on teachers in today’s educational policy context.

In this book, bestselling author Mercedes Schneider provides little-known details about the history of the Common Core State Standards. She lifts the

veil on the development of the Common Core, the individuals present in the back room, the push to copyright it so that test-makers could profit, and the urgency for governors to sign commitments before the standards were even completed. CCSS is publicized as being a state-led, teacher-developed approach guaranteed to ensure that all students are college- and career-ready. By the end of this eye-opening book, readers will come to understand the CCSS and its attendant assessments as something very different.
