This book continues the march from more and more voices in education that the NCLB idea of raising everyone to minimal levels must be replaced with the concept of excellence. We just wonder if the current generation of kids and teens can experience what excellence looks like before we turn them out into the global society unprepared to compete. Burris and Garrity attack the idea of tracking or grouping students by ability level so that we lower expectations for those who we perceive cant cut the mustard. Every teacher should see the film Freedom Writers to understand the worst practices of tracking high school learners. Yes, the idea of pushing every teen is certainly not new. Perhaps this book is a reminder or wakeup call to the messages so common today from Howard Gardner, Wiggins and McTighe, and Tomlinson. Convinced that every learner needs a challenge to succeed far beyond what each thinks they can do themselves or what adults think they can do? We all just have to keep remembering that Mark Phelps’ teacher told him that he would never amount to anything! Whether you like Burris and Garrity’s recommendations for detracking a school, perhaps this is a good read for background as discussions in the professional learning community broach the subject or even decide to pursue it. Bottom line: Worth considering. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
