Book excerpt: "When A nation at risk was published 20 years ago, it was seen as something of the Peyton Place of education reports: it stunned the establishment, readers threw up their hands and proclaimed themselves shocked by it, but no one could tear themselves away from reading it. Now, on the 20th anniversary of the original report, the Koret Task Force tells a no less compelling story."--Quatrième de couverture.

Book Synopsis A Nation at Risk by : United States. National Commission on Excellence in Education
Download or read book A Nation at Risk written by United States. National Commission on Excellence in Education. This book was released on 1984. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our nation is at risk. Our once unchallenged preeminence in commerce, industry, science, and technological innovation is being overtaken by competitors throughout the world. This report is concerned with only one of the many causes and dimensions of the problem, but it is the one that undergirds American prosperity, security, and civility. We report to the American people that while we can take justifiable pride in what our schools and colleges have historically accomplished and contributed to the United States and the well-being of its people, the educational foundations of our society are presently being eroded by a rising tide of mediocrity that threatens our very future as a nation and a people. What was unimaginable a generation ago has begun to occur -- others are matching and surpassing our educational attainments. - p. 5.

Book Synopsis From A Nation at Risk to No Child Left Behind by : Maris A. Vinovskis
Download or read book From A Nation at Risk to No Child Left Behind written by Maris A. Vinovskis. This book was released on 2009-01-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this dynamic look at the current state of character education, Alan Lockwood assesses its strengths and weaknesses and finds fault with leading advocates for failing to respond to sound critiques of their work. Lockwood argues that contemporary character education can be significantly improved by using key principles from established theories and research on developmental psychology. He offers numerous examples to support his recommendations while inviting character education theorists and practitioners to generate their own implications from his presentation. This book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in improving the quality of values-based education for children and adolescents.
