Making Schooling Relevant for the Global Age - Fulfilling Our Moral Obligation

Informationen zum Autor R.D. Nordgren is assistant professor of Urban Education at Cleveland State University, coordinating and teaching in an alternative licensure masters program for urban secondary teaching. Klappentext In order for schooling to become relevant in the global age, the currently used curricula, teaching strategies, and school structures need to be discarded; and more important, the way we think about schools and schooling must change. In essence, a distinctly different model of schooling needs to be conceptualized and implemented across the U.S. In Making Schooling Relevant for the Global Age, Nordgren offers such a model based, in part, on schooling he observed in Sweden; one that is supported by pertinent social, economic, and educational research.
