Beyond richly describing and evaluating this high-achieving school, the author argues that democratic education is increasingly difficult in this era of testing and standardisation 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBook Features:\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\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Teachers College Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52551811793176,"sku":"9780807753804","price":27.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/democratic-education-in-practice-inside-the-mission-hill-school-paperback-softback-9780807753804","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
