Somewhere. . . there is a place of sanity where education isintense and substantive. . . . It's in that place that DeborahMeier has been working all these years. Her voice conveys a life ofstruggle in the front lines-victories and losses, hopes anddisappointments. . . . It's a voice our nation needs to hear.--Jonathan Kozol, from the Foreword Acclaimed educator Deborah Meier offers a fresh take onstandardized tests. While others have criticized standards and whatthey measure, Meier rejects the very idea of a centralizedauthority that dictates how and what teachers teach.Standardization, she argues, prevents citizens-includingteachers-from emerging as thoughtful, responsible adults, seriouslyengaged with shaping their own schools, classrooms, andcommunities. As a result, young people can't learn from them how tobe thoughtful, responsible adults and good citizens, the primarygoal of public education in a democracy.

During those months, ayear and a half before the massacre, Roy came to realize that Chowas more than just a disgruntled young adult experimenting withpoetic license; he was, in her opinion, seriously depressed and inurgent need of intervention. But when Roy approached campus counseling as well as others inthe u

The cyberspace revolution, globalization, and the ever more rapid pace at which new knowledge is created are among the recent developments which challenge our universities. While they have adapted rather slowly in the past to changing circumstances, there is now an urgent need for them to adjust rapidly in order to fulfill their mission. Success will heavily depend on the presence of an appropriate system of governance, which is becoming more complex as the cyberspace revolution makes university structures less hierarchical. This book examines the contours and dimensions of university governance in research-intensive universities, seeks to develop cogent governance principles, and offers appropriate initiatives and recommendations. The authors, current and former heads of leading research-intensive universities in Western Europe and the United States, all share the defining concern that the fundamental changes of today pose serious challenges for universities and their system of governance.

In Prisoners of Hope, Dayna Curry and Heather Mercer tell thestory of their work in Afghanistan, their love for the people theyserved, their arrest, t
