David Michael Slater's We're Doing It Wrong is a thought-provoking dissection of the issues plaguing American public schools.

A teacher himself, Slater opens up and gives readers an insider's perspective on topics that have been at the center of ongoing debates as well as recent hot button issues, such as: Standardized testingTeacher evaluation practicesHelicopter parentsClass sizePoverty's effect on performanceAnti-bullying programsWriting proficiencyCurriculum goals Slater explains why our current approaches simply aren't working-for students, for teachers, for the colleges that these students may eventually attend, and for society at-large. Unafraid to ruffle a few feathers, We're Doing It Wrong highlights defects in policy and theory, calls out administration, and questions long-held beliefs. Every chapter concludes with a suggestion for improvement, offering light at the end of the tunnel. Administrators, teachers, and concerned parents will come away with a better understanding of the current state of education and ideas for moving toward progress-for themselves and for the students they support. An unapologetic critique of major flaws in the American education system. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
