The book is based on the belief that it's more important for children to learn how to do science than it is for them to learn about science, and that teachers of elementary science do not need to know a great deal of science to teach it effectively, but rather need to be co-inquirers with their students. More than 170 process-oriented activities, organized by grade level, help practicing teachers encourage children to develop and perform their own investigations.Table of ContentsPart I: CONSTRUCTING THE ELEMENTARY SCIENCE PROGRAM. 1. The Science Education Imperative. 2. Science Education Today. 3. The Process of Science. 4. Constructivism in Elementary Science Education. 5.

Johns Hopkins University Press Democracys Schools
Book SynopsisBy studying the origins of America's public schools, Neem urges us to focus on the defining features of democratic education: promoting equality, nurturing human beings, preparing citizens, and fostering civic solidarity.Trade ReviewThe book provides a compelling account of how Horace Mann, Reverend William Ellery Channing, Catharine Beecher, and other antebellum advocates of the United States’s common schools brought what amounts to a liberal arts education to the nation’s children. In the face of widespread cynicism about public education, Neem reminds us that public schools can liberate children’s minds from prejudice or vocational preoccupations.—LA Review of BooksThis generally clear and ample account of the origins of public education draws upon the latest research and a good deal of primary-source material. Neem’s adept treatment of the many conflicts evident at the time, along with the extravagant rhetoric that often accompanied reform, makes this book an attractive option for illuminating this period in American history... Democracy’s Schools documents the advance in our understanding of early schooling in the United States, and points to directions for further exploration.—John L. Rury, University of Kansas, Journal of Interdisciplinary HistoryThere is much about Democracy's Schools to appreciate. Neem has immersed himself in a wide array of archival sources. He renders sensible a multitude of dense, sprawling treatises and texts. He produces a well-written, provocative, and cohesive narrative accessible to a lay and scholarly audiences. Moreover, one cannot finish Democracy's Schools without understanding why Neem personally has great faith in public education.—Hilary Moss, Amherst College, History of Education QuarterlyNeem's insights are timely in our twenty-first-century world. At a time when critics on both the Left and Right advocate homeschooling and charter schools as alternatives to traditional public education, when activists question the benefits of a liberal education in a technology-driven age, and when our nation grapples with the effects of ever-increasing cultural diversity, it is worth contemplating the role public schools have played in upholding our democratic institutions.—John Ellis, Bemidji State University, Journal of Southern HistoryNeem is masterful in explaining, to new and seasoned readers, antebellum public education. The origins of debates over governance, funding and curricula (local control versus national priorities, public regulation and taxation versus private management and market fundamentalism) as well as the rights and responsibilities of the majority vis-à-vis those of the many minority groups are illuminated in a clear, thoughtful and even-handed way. Thus, his narrative does more than interpret the past: it also provides a ready and accessible context for many of the current tensions in US education and American democracy.—Thomas V. O'Brien, University of Southern Mississippi, History of EducationNo matter your opinion on public education, [Democracy's Schools] is a valuable book, and its history of American schools is also a fascinating history of America itself.—Addison Del Mastro, The University BookmanTable of ContentsPrefaceAcknowledgmentsIntroduction1. Citizenship and Self-Culture2. Democratic Education3. Politics of Education4. Teachers and Students5. Containing MultitudesConclusionAppendixNotesIndex

Johns Hopkins University Press On the Other Hand
Book SynopsisWritten in a lively style that mixes personal biography with scholarly research, On the Other Hand tells a comprehensive story about the science, traditions, and prejudices surrounding left-handedness.Trade ReviewThis scientific landscape in perpetual, cyclical flux is well described by Kushner’s engaging, accessible panorama.—Abigail Zuger, UndarkThis is a useful addition to the growing library of laterality literature and gives us a solid overview of the history of left-handedness.—LATERALITYHoward Kushner's On the Other Hand is a review of the history and current state of scientific knowledge about human handedness. This doesn't sound like thrilling reading, but it is.—LectionThe book will be of special interest to left-handed people, particularly those who have suffered negative consequences as a result, and to members of other stigmatized groups. For the rest of us, it is an interesting case-study in the seemingly limitless capacity of human beings to discriminate against those who are different from themselves.—The PsychologistIn this interesting and highly informative book, Howard Kushner brings together a wealth of information on handedness in humans, including research into its possible causes, and past and present attitudes to left-handedness.—The Dana FoundationThis is a very engaging and informative book that will interest scholars but should also appeal to a much wider audience.—Social History of MedicineTable of ContentsPreface Acknowledgments 1.

In telling that story, they also highlight reform efforts inside institutions that are all too often overlooked—places like Montclair State, in New Jersey and the University of Indianapolis . . . meticulous readers will pick up on the old divide between policy and politics. Policy is cold and dispassionate—what works is what wins. But politics isn't like that. The story Fraser and Lefty tell is one that overflows with both.—Jack Schneider, University of Massachusetts, Lowell, History of Education QuarterlyTable of ContentsForeword, by Arthur Levine Acknowledgments Introduction: Considering the Future of Teacher Preparation in Light of the Past Chapter 1.
