Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Real Learning, Real Accomplishment: Schools that Work for Kids is the work of committed educational leaders who have transformed contemporary schools in public school systems from South Florida to Illinois, from Virginia to Nevada. It is filled with real stories of real change, brought about by embracing mastery (or competency-based) learning. When students are evaluated on their accomplishments rather than compliance with classroom rules, they begin to understand the purpose and the relevance of school.In 19 fascinating and provocative chapters, real educators describe real solutions and the struggles behind those changes. These range from state leaders to district superintendents, principals, and teachers. Student voices are heard as well."We stand at a pivotal moment in education, particularly in the public education systems that educate 87 percent of U.S. students between the ages of four and eighteen," Kentucky State Board of Education member Lu Young writes to open the book. "Community members, business leaders, civic leaders, parents, educators themselves, and especially students have all become frustrated with educational practices that appear irrelevant to this century, intolerant of human differences, and which, too often, limit opportunities rather than expanding them.""School should be relevant for all students and, through hard work, provide them with access to the life they envision for themselves," writes Nevada Principal of the Year Ryan Cordia. "The senior year should especially support student career passions and abilities by providing work experience, industry credentials, or college credits based on the individual student's choice. I wanted to build a school that allowed students to succeed professionally after high school. I wanted each student who attended our school to shorten the timeline from freshmen orientation to revenue generation."Virginia teacher David Glover describes his philosophy, "Learning, to me, isn't about grades or points. It's about what students can do with what they know. Can they show it? Can they teach it? Can they transfer it? That's mastery. The greatest joy of my career as an educator can be distilled into each moment when I've had the privilege of witnessing a young person decide who they want to become-a conscious choice that is unique to each individual. Sometimes, this moment strikes like the Big Bang-instant, powerful, and transformative. Other times, it takes shape gradually, evolving through experiences and decisions."Contributors: John Burks, Liz Calvert, Beth Blankenship, Anita Hartley, Derrick Rauenzahn, Jeanine Collins, Ryan Cordia, Brian Creasman, David Glover, Michael Lubelfeld, Leslie Peters, Shannon Brown, Lyndsey Bednar, April Crandall, Hailey Sebahar, Lauren Spires, Blaine Spires, Jeff Prillaman, Teresa Stoupas, Annick Charlot, Lu Young Real educators on real change for real kids.
