Taylor & Francis Ltd Unequal By Design
Book SynopsisThis new edition of Unequal By Design: High-Stakes Testing and the Standardization of Inequality critically examines the deep and enduring problems within systems of education in the U.S., in order to illuminate what is really at stake for students, teachers, and communities negatively affected by such testing.Updates to the new edition include new chapters that focus on: the role of schools and standardized testing in reproducing social, cultural, and economic inequalities; the way high-stakes testing is used to advance neoliberal, market-based educational schemes that ultimately concentrate wealth and power among elites; how standardized testing became the dominant tool within our educational systems; the numerous technical and ideological problems with using standardized tests to evaluate students, teachers, and schools; the role that high-stakes testing plays in the maintenance of white supremacy; and how school communities have resisted high-stakes testing and used better assessments of student learning.Parents, teachers, university students, and scholars will find Unequal By Design useful for gaining a broad, critical understanding of the issues surrounding our over-reliance on high-stakes, standardized testing in the U.S. through up-to-date research on testing, historical and contemporary examples of the struggles over such tests, and information about how testing has fostered the privatization of public education in the U.S.Trade Review"Wayne Au has really done it with this one. With the most up-to-date research on high-stakes testing in the U.S., historical analysis of the origins of standardized testing, theoretical insights into the role of testing in our school system, inspirational accounts of communities resisting these tests, and an exploration of alternatives to these punitive exams, Unequal By Design is both the sword and the shield we need with us in the battle for the education students deserve."Jesse Hagopian, teacher, author, and organizer for the Zinn Education Project's Teaching for Black Lives campaign."I am always left in awe of Au’s writing, andt he 2nd edition of Unequal By Design is no exception. This book is everything we need right now to understand that to end high-stakes testing is to chop off one of the tentacles of White supremacy. Packed with data and research and explained with the ease of a skilled storyteller, this new edition debunks the lies of the testing industry and illuminates the path forward for continued resistance to the model of ranking our children to uphold racism. Unequal By Design is now fresher and more necessary than ever."Bettina Love, Athletic Association Endowed Professor at the University of Georgia, USA.Table of ContentsSeries Editor Introduction by Michael W.

Taylor & Francis The Routledge International Handbook of Critical Education
Book SynopsisThe Routledge International Handbook of Critical Education is the first authoritative reference work to provide an international analysis of the relationship between power, knowledge, education, and schooling. Rather than focusing solely on questions of how we teach efficiently and effectively, contributors to this volume push further to also think critically about education's relationship to economic, political, and cultural power. The various sections of this book integrate into their analyses the conceptual, political, pedagogic, and practical histories, tensions, and resources that have established critical education as one of the most vital and growing movements within the field of education, including topics such as: social movements and pedagogic work critical research methods for critical education the politics of practice and the recreation of theory the freirian legacy.

Haymarket Books A Marxist Education
Book SynopsisIn A Marxist Education: Learning to Change the World, professor and education activist Wayne Au traces both his own development as a Marxist educator, as well as the development of Marxist educational theory. Arguing that dialectical materialism is at the heart of Marxist theory, Au uses dialectics to not only analyse the relationship between capitalism and schools, but also to understand teaching, learning, and curriculum. In the process, A Marxist Education challenges the idea that Marxism is Eurocentric, reclaims noted educators such as Lev Vygotsky and Paulo Freire as being within the Marxist tradition, and integrates racial and feminist traditions into analyses of education, consciousness, and power.Trade Review"In A Marxist Education, Wayne Au reveals the method he has applied for years to understand structures of education that have made him one of the most insightful voices nationally in the struggle for education justice. Au boldly illustrates to educators and activists how Marxism is a dynamic tool for resisting the ways schooling has been used to reproduce racism and oppression."--Jesse Hagopian, author of More Than a Score "Shattering myths and misconceptions about Marxism in every chapter, Wayne Au shows how Marx’s method has guided his pathbreaking research on the racial politics of education policy and his work as an activist and organizer for educational justice."--Brian Jones, Associate Director of Education at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture "Au’s purpose is to upend the dogma of common sense, to analyze the educational catastrophe before us and the seeds of the struggles we will need to mount in order to imagine and then enact just schools; his method is dialectical-materialism; his insights are profound and plentiful. The result is an essential book for these times, a weapon to carry to the next school board meeting, the picket line, or the barricades."--Bill Ayers is the author of Demand the Impossible and Teaching Toward FreedomTable of ContentsGeneral Contents1.Introduction(revised intellectual biography plus more typical introductory remarks and context, need, placement of this work)2.Against Economic Determinism(revised paper on Neo-Marxism and what I characterize as a misreading of Marx to begin with)3.Critical Reflection in the Classroom(dialectical conception of consciousness exists as individual book chapter in an edited collection and in Chapter Two of Critical Curriculum Studies)4.Curricular Standpoint(revision of existing versions as edited book chapter, aspects of chapters 1, 5, & 6 ofCritical Curriculum Studies and TeachersCollege Record article)5.Epistemology of the Oppressed(revised paper on Freire and dialectical materialism)(to be written-articulatedacross other books/articles)7.Meritocracy 2.0: Neoliberal multiculturalism and the Racial Project of High-Stakes Testing8.Vygotsky and Lenin on Learning9.Education & Inequality-Relative Autonomy10.Dialectical research methods11.Conclusion-Reflections on practice

Taylor & Francis Ltd (Sales) Critical Curriculum Studies
Book SynopsisA CHOICE Outstanding Academic Title 2012!Critical Curriculum Studies offers a novel framework for thinking about how curriculum relates to students' understanding of the world around them. Wayne Au brings together curriculum theory, critical educational studies, and feminist standpoint theory with practical examples of teaching for social justice to argue for a transformative curriculum that challenges existing inequity in social, educational, and economic relations. Making use of the work of important scholars such as Freire, Vygotsky, Hartsock, Harding, and others, Critical Curriculum Studies, argues that we must understand the relationship between the curriculum and the types of consciousness we carry out into the world.Trade Review"This is an essential book for anyone interested in the politics of knowledge and education that aims to be transformative rather than reproductive of current social conditions. Summing Up: Essential" - E. W. Ross, University of British Columbia in CHOICE"Wayne Au brilliantly advances a theoretical framework for curriculum as liberation. Weaving together robust conceptions of consciousness, curriculum, learning, standpoint, and power, Au deepens how we think about curriculum, and brings into sharp focus the theoretical basis of real-life examples of counter-hegemonic multicultural curriculum." - Christine E. Sleeter, Professor Emerita, College of Professional Studies, California State University, Monterey Bay"If Wayne Au wanted to ‘revitalize’ curriculum studies---it worked! Articulating the complex simply, this unique and insightful contribution successfully explains the electric relationship between what we learn and what we do. This is a must read for those interested in knowledge and possibility." - William H. Watkins, Professor, College of Education, University of Illinois at Chicago"At a moment of crisis in the field, Critical Curriculum Studies decisively intervenes, proposing a return to a critical commitment firmly grounded in theory and yet crucially oriented to practice. Powerfully addressing fundamental questions regarding the relationship between educational knowledge and material reality, this impressive book renews the critical tradition and urgently enlivens the senses of praxis that can transform teaching and learning in the present." - Noah De Lissovoy, Assistant Professor of Curriculum Studies, University of Texas at AustinTable of ContentsSeries Introduction by Michael W.
