Death and Resurrection of a Coherent Literature Curriculum - What Secondary English Teachers Can Do

Informationen zum Autor By Sandra Stotsky Klappentext Unless experienced and well-read English teachers can develop coherent and increasingly demanding literature curricula in their schools, average high school students will remain at about the fifth or sixth grade reading level-where they now are to judge from several independent sources. This book seeks to challenge education policy makers, test developers, and educators who discourage the assignment of appropriately difficult works to high school students and make construction of a coherent literature curriculum impossible.
