Synopsis

US public schools can do better. Post-pandemic, Harvard researcher Martin West states, "We've had the greatest decline in student achievement in US history. We have to have strategies to address this." 1980's national school change leader Ted Sizer commented, "School reform is like moving a graveyard."

In Renegade Teacher: Inside School Walls with Standards and the Test, former urban school teacher Dr. Katherine Scheidler shows how schools can better serve all students, at any time.

In the mid-1990s, Dr. Scheidler moved from the urban classroom to the epicenter of school change with the dreaded accountability as Assistant Superintendent of teaching and learning in varied Massachusetts school districts. Scheidler illustrates the challenges and victories of standards and testing all students, and she points out how school must still change to better support those classroom heroes who work every day with children.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Dr. Katherine Scheidler earned degrees from The American University School of International Service in Washington, DC, Brown University, Harvard Graduate School of Education, and Boston University. She taught for several decades at an urban school in Providence, Rhode Island, and served as Brown clinical professor teaching Methods of Teaching. As Massachusetts school district leader, she helped guide the first wave of new state standards and tests in the Clinton era of new accountability legislation and through George W. Bush's ambitious and much-reviled No Child Left Behind era, followed by the Obama administration's less stringent approach to standards and testing. She now supports teachers in online courses.
