Riassunto

How do schools sustain a collaborative, inclusive culture in these times of high-stakes testing and standardization? Through the story of a progressively minded public elementary school, the author shows how committed educators can collaborate to maintain a creative, inclusive educational environment and still rise to the demands of state-imposed standards. Featuring the voices of teachers and administrators, this timely volume:

• Explores the 15-year evolution of a “school in chaos” to a highly regarded school serving a diverse student population.
• Brings together vital themes of inclusive education, constructivist practice, and school reform.
• Demonstrates the complexity of creating and sustaining schools where children from racial, cultural, and linguistic minorities and those with special educational needs can be successfully educated in the same classroom.
• Examines the conflicts between imposed reforms focused on accountability and reforms focused on social justice.
• Describes administrative and teaching innovations that work.
