John Catt Educational Ltd Great On Their Behalf Why School Boards Fail How

Random House USA Inc The Shame of the Nation
Book SynopsisSince the early 1980s, when the federal courts began dismantling the landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education, segregation of black children has reverted to its highest level since 1968. In many inner-city schools, a stick-and-carrot method of behavioral control traditionally used in prisons is now used with students. Meanwhile, as high-stakes testing takes on pathological and punitive dimensions, liberal education has been increasingly replaced by culturally barren and robotic methods of instruction that would be rejected out of hand by schools that serve the mainstream of society. Filled with the passionate voices of children, principals, and teachers, and some of the most revered leaders in the black community, The Shame of the Nation pays tribute to those undefeated educators who persist against the odds, but directly challenges the chilling practices now being forced upon our urban systems. In their place, Kozol offers a humane, dramatic challenge to our nation to fulfill at last the promise made some 50 years ago to all our youngest citizens.

Johns Hopkins University Press The Future of Academic Freedom
Book SynopsisTrade Review. . . first and foremost, this is about professors—their rights and limits both in and out of the classroom. Should they be able to toss out new, sometimes controversial ideas to help students think in different ways? Are they allowed to say and do what they want on their own time? Reichman's experience as both a professor and an AAUP officer and chair of one of its committees give weight to his arguments.—Library JournalReichman's tone is somehow hopeful, as if he's arming advocates with the history, knowledge and tools they need to fight the good fight — not just for the future of academic freedom but for higher education in general.—Colleen Flaherty, Inside Higher EdHenry Reichman's fine book needs to be read and discussed . . . Refreshingly free of vanguardism, but deeply convinced of (and convincing on) the strengths and vulnerabilities of academic freedom in his unevenly admirable homeland, he casts the chapters gathered here as responses to aptly searching questions . . . Joan Scott's Foreword strikes notes of candour, insight, and defiance that echo through Reichman's, rich, unyielding prose.—Len Findlay, University of Saskatchewan, CAUT Bulletin (Canadian Association of University Teachers)Table of ContentsForeword, by Joan Wallach ScottPreface1.

Johns Hopkins University Press How Boards Lead Small Colleges
Book SynopsisA college is only as strong as its board of trustees. While the media frequently report on threats facing colleges and universities, no sector of higher education is in more danger than private colleges with small endowments and low enrollments.

In How Boards Lead Small Colleges, Alice Lee Williams Brown and Elizabeth Richmond Hayford focus on small collegesthe kind that seldom attract the attention of researchers. Integrating case studies with theoretical analyses of college governance, they explain the basic responsibilities of boards while demonstrating how some develop practices that fulfill these responsibilities more effectively than others. The book emphasizes strategic planning and collaboration between the board and central administrationadvice useful to those governing colleges and universities of all sizes and strengths.

Johns Hopkins University Press Anchoring Innovation Districts
Book SynopsisAs universities transform cities with their innovation districts, what works in these new public-private partnerships?In recent years, the successful revitalization of urban areas has turned them into magnets for those looking for opportunities in a fast-paced and rapidly unfolding technology-based economy. After the economic crisis of 2008, many colleges and universities attempted to generate alternative sources of revenue and pursued aggressive economic development strategies. Some universities even began to actively invest resources in the rebirth (and rebranding) of urban cores, encouraging the development of entrepreneurial, technology-oriented innovation districts. In Anchoring Innovation Districts, Costas Spirou explains that these districts have emerged as geographic clusters of technology startups, business incubators, and accelerators. They aim to take advantage of intellectual capital, commercialize knowledge, and give their associated institutions a way to enter into the maTrade ReviewA very engaging, rich account of universities' efforts to engage in urban redevelopment while enhancing their core research, teaching and knowledge transfer missions....Prof. Spirou has managed to write a book that can be valuable to local policy makers, university managers and many local stakeholders interested in bringing about change in their communities.—Higher Education QuarterlyTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsChapter 1.
