Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Disaster of Resilience
Book SynopsisThe past decade has seen a vast expansion of resilience pedagogies, policies, and products in public education, from the Every Student Succeeds Act to social and emotional learning to grit. Educational apps, avatars, and games as well as behaviorist techniques, meditation programs, and biometric devices claim to teach resilience to adverse social conditions while new cyber schools, education brokers, global democracy promotion companies, and dropout recovery firms promise schools resilience to disaster and disruption. The Disaster of Resilience shows how resilience discourse is interwoven with the new digital directions of educational privatization. Saltman argues that resilience has provided the justification for new educational profiteering, creating a climate which individualizes collective responsibilities, depoliticizes and dehistoricizes knowledge and curriculum, and falsely grounds its politics in a mashup of pseudoscience and human capital theory. He argues that we must Trade ReviewTeachers, students and parents are required to be excitedly resilient in the face of radical reforms that are destroying their relationship with each other in schools and communities. Saltman shows in detail the relationship between seemingly benign interventions about bodies and practices, and the unfolding disasters occurring as a result of the relocation of responsibility to the private world of the individual. This book is shockingly important for understanding and explaining the dismantling of public education. -- Helen M. Gunter, Professor Emerita, University of Manchester, UKIf you’re excited about promoting resilience among the youth, read this book. Educators, parents, students, and researchers all need to consider what Saltman unveils. Resilience pedagogy, no matter what its form, may just be that trojan horse for even more privatization, and even less democracy. -- Mark Garrison, Professor of Education, West Texas A&M University, USATable of ContentsIntroduction: The Politics of Resilience and Disaster 1.

University of Minnesota Press The Swindle of Innovative Educational Finance
Book SynopsisHow “innovative” finance schemes skim public wealth while hijacking public governanceCharter school expansion. Vouchers. Scholarship tax credit programs. The Swindle of Innovative Educational Finance offers a new social theory to explain why these and other privatization policies and programs win support despite being unsupported by empirical evidence. Kenneth J. Saltman details how, under the guise of innovation, cost savings, and corporate social responsibility, new and massive neoliberal educational privatization schemes have been widely adopted in the United States. From a trillion-dollar charter school bubble to the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to celebrities branding private schools, Saltman ultimately connects such schemes to the country’s current crisis of truth and offers advice for resistance. Forerunners is a thought-in-process series of breakthrough digital works. Written between fresh ideas and finished books, Forerunners draws on scholarly work initiated in notable blogs, social media, conference plenaries, journal articles, and the synergy of academic exchange. This is gray literature publishing: where intense thinking, change, and speculation take place in scholarship.Trade Review"Most clearly it will appeal to an audience with strong views against privatization, but this work is also worth reading for those who favor privatization as it highlights a number of areas where improvements could be made in order to better promote the public good." —Teachers College Record

John Wiley and Sons Ltd The Wiley Handbook of Global Educational Reform
Book SynopsisThe Wiley Handbook of Global Educational Reform examines educational reform from a global perspective. Comprised of approximately 25 original and specially commissioned essays, which together interrogate educational reform from a critical global and transnational perspective, this volume explores a range of topics and themes that fully investigate global convergences in educational reform policies, ideologies, and practices. The Handbook probes the history, ideology, organization, and institutional foundations of global educational reform movements; actors, institutions, and agendas; and local, national, and global education reform trends. It further examines the new managerialism in global educational reform, including the standardization of national systems of educational governance, curriculum, teaching, and learning through the rise of new systems of privatization, accountability, audit, big-data, learning analytics, biometrics, and new technology-driven adaptive learning modelsTable of ContentsNotes on Contributors ix Introduction: Toward a Transformational Agenda for Global Education Reform 1Kenneth J.

Rowman & Littlefield Publishers Collateral Damage
Book SynopsisFrom schools advertising McDonald's, Nike, and Shell oil to military generals appointed as superintendents; from corporate CEOs hailed as education experts to students suspended for wearing Pepsi tee shirts on Coke day; Collateral Damage sifts through a wide range of incidents to reveal how the rising corporatization of public schools needs to be understood as a part of a broader attack on the public sector. Uniquely, Collateral Damage considers the privatization of public education in relation to both globalization and local struggles over curriculum, schools, and culture. Saltman describes the dangers to democracy posed by educational policy debates increasingly framed by the language and logic of the market. He reveals how the language of school choice, competition, monopoly, and accountability shifts the grounds of debate to naturalize education along business models rather than for the public good. The commercialization and militarization of public schools, and media images of oTrade ReviewReaders of Saltman's work will rediscover that keeping schools public is essential to keeping democracy alive and vibrant. As such, Collateral Damage is a must read for any college-level course in the areas of sociology, foundations in education, teacher education, curriculum development, cultural studies, multiculturalism, and ethnic studies. -- Pepi Leistyna, University of Massachusetts, BostonKenneth Saltman's important book arrives not a moment too soon…Collateral Damage is valuable not only for the well-reasoned political position the author takes, but also for the wealth of information it provides about commercialism in American public education. Given the largely uncritical public (as opposed to scholarly) discourse about privatization and commercialism in public education, Saltman's book is an especially useful and timely contribution. -- Roslyn Arlin Mickelson * Teachers College Record *An insightful and timely examination of the corporatization of public education in the United States.Collateral Damage represents and important and provocative critique of the corporate sponsorship of education, linking this growing trend to globalization, a redefinition of public services as private commodities, and the militarization of the nation's public spaces. Saltman has presented a cogent analysis that is thoroughly accessible to scholars, laypeople, and all those interested in the nature of public education in the United States. Researchers, scholars, and educators at all levels, in particular, will find Collateral Damage a valuable resource and important contribution to the growing literature of the corporatization of public education. * Anthropology & Education Quarterly *In this succinct book, Saltman delivers to the reader reasons to get outraged over, excited about, and committed to protecting public education as a public space where democracy can and must flourish. * Educational Researcher *Collateral Damage: Corporatizing Public Schools provides a brilliant expose of the hidden curriculum of school privatization. By deconstructing the logic of the market, Kenneth J. Saltman draws a sharp distinction between a reductionistic discourse of school management, choice, and accountability and the imperatives of a vibrant democracy that prioritizes equity, critical citizenship, and social justice. Collateral Damage is an indispensable reading for all educators who yearn to make schools and society more democratic and less discriminatory. -- Donaldo Macedo, University of Massachusetts, BostonTable of ContentsChapter 1 Introduction Chapter 2 Educational Privatization and the Assault on Public Schools Chapter 3 Nothing Left to Choose: Education, Democracy, and School Choice Chapter 4 Coca Cola and the Commercialization of Public Schools Chapter 5 Collateral Damage Chapter 6 Pedagogues, Pedophiles, and Other Lovers: The Constructed Crises of the Predatory Teacher Chapter 7 Conclusion

Book SynopsisAs Junk Bond felon Michael Milken attempts to transform public education on the model of the HMO, he is hailed in the mainstream press as having done more to help mankind than Mother Theresa. Even as BP Amoco, a notorious U.S. polluter, is charged with funding and arming paramilitaries in Colombia, it freely distributes science curricula that portrays itself as a loving protector of citizens from a dangerous and ''out of control'' nature. These as well as many other examples abound as Professors Robin Truth Goodman and Kenneth J. Saltman take on the corporate educators, media monopolies, and oil companies in their new book Strange Love: How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Market. Saltman and Goodman show how corporate-produced curricula, films, and corporate-promoted books often use depictions of family love, childhood innocence, and compassion in order to sell the public on policies that ironically put the profit of multinational corporations over the well-being of people. In doing so Goodman and Saltman reveal the extent to which globalization depends upon education and also show how battles over culture, language, and the control of information are matters of life, death, and democracy.Trade Review'You are either with us or against us!' is a popular proclamation these days, one largely without an explanation of who actually profits from neo-liberal symbolic, cultural, and economic agendas. Strange Love: How We Learn to Stop Worrying and Love the Market takes the issue of 'us' head on. Courageously, Truth Goodman and Saltman reveal how neo-liberal markets cannot solve what they in fact create, and that the possibilities of 'us' in any real participatory democracy requires consciousness and not coercion. -- Pepi Leistyna, author, Presence of Mind: Education and the Politics of Deception and Defining and Designing MulticulturalismStrange Love provides a remarkable multidisciplinary breadth and depth of documentary research and charts important new investigative and humanistic territory.
