    Palgrave Macmillan 2009; US$ 110.00

    This book begins with the claims of policymakers and explores charter schools at each stage of the policymaking process, from legislation to implementation.

    Princeton University Press 2001; US$ 32.95

    Milwaukee, one of the nation's most segregated metropolitan areas, implemented in 1990 a school choice program aimed at improving the education of inner-city children by enabling them to attend a selection of private schools. The results of this experiment, however, have been overshadowed by the explosion of emotional debate it provoked nationwide.... more...

  • Creating Tomorrow's Schools Todayby Richard Gerver; Ken Robinson

    Continuum International Publishing 2010; US$ 90.00

    Education is the platform for our success or failure, but is our system still fit for purpose? Will our children be equipped to face the challenges the future holds: the rapidly changing employment patterns and the global environmental, economic and social crises ahead of us? Or will our children grow up to resent their school years and blame them... more...

    Taylor and Francis 2011; US$ 53.95

    The central assumption of The Textbook as Discourse is this: interpreted in the flow of history, textbooks can provide important insights into the nature and meaning of a culture and the social and political discourses in which it is engaged. This book is about the social, political and cultural content of elementary and secondary textbooks in American... more...

  • The Struggle for the History of Educationby Gary McCulloch

    Taylor and Francis 2011; US$ 38.95

    The history of education is a contested field of study, and has represented a site of struggle for the past century of its development.

Over the years the history of... more...
