{"product_id":"democratic-education-in-practice_9780807772003","title":"Democratic Education in Practice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Mission Hill School, founded by MacArthur Award winner Deborah Meier and colleagues in 1997, is a small public school that has rethought almost everything about the process of teaching and learning. Beyond richly describing and evaluating this high-achieving school, the author argues that democratic education is increasingly difficult in this era of testing and standardization and that a school such as Mission Hill must be continually thoughtful, innovative, and courageous in counteracting systemic inequality. This in-depth examination is essential reading for anyone interested in how to better understand seemingly intractable problems related to urban public education in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBook Features:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn exemplary model of democratic education that shows the inner workings of a largely teacher-governed school. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA rare example of an urban school implementing Dewey-influenced progressive pedagogy. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn-depth descriptions of an anti-racist and culturally relevant pedagogy and curriculum. \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA close examination of successful practices, including shared decision making, intensive problem solving, and looking at student work.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matthew Knoester","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43037267525734,"sku":"9780807772003","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0650\/4051\/5174\/files\/9780807772003.jpg?v=1771608260","url":"https:\/\/www.tcpress.com\/products\/democratic-education-in-practice_9780807772003","provider":"Teachers College Press","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
