Smart Start: Elementary Education for the 21st Century

Description

The authors argue for an elementary school that is hospitable and active---a community of scholars in which "some are teachers but all are learners." They define the shape and content of an ideal elementary education, and they provide specific goals, including a statement of what telve-year-olds should know and be able to accomplish. A checklist will help parents, teachers, and legislators monitor the quality of their local schools. ISBN:9781555919092
