Reform and Resistance in Schools and Classrooms: An Ethnographic View of the Coalition of Essential Schools

Title: Reform and Resistance in Schools and Classrooms: An Ethnographic View of the Coalition of Essential Schools
Abstract/Description: What constitutes better schooling for today's youth? In 1984 educational theorist Theodore R. Sizer formulated nine Common Principles to answer this question and launched The Coalition of Essential Schools, an organization of schools attempting to change their own structure, curriculum, pedagogy, and power relations according to Sizer's Principles. This book charts the course of reform at eight charter member schools. The Coalition now counts over 900 private, parochial, public, urban, suburban, and rural secondary schools among its affiliates nationwide.
