Synopsis
Recipient of the 2022 Prose Award in Education Practice and Theory "Offers multiple perspectives on our most pressing educational issues." -- NASSP Principal Leadership "A thoughtful read for all education leaders who strive to personally stretch themselves and better understand the diversity of perspectives within their communities." --AASA School Administrator At a time of bitter national polarization, there is a critical need for leaders who can help us better communicate with one another. In A Search for Common Ground , Rick Hess and Pedro Noguera, who have often fallen on opposing sides of the ideological aisle over the past couple of decades, candidly talk through their differences on some of the toughest issues in K-12 education today--from school choice to testing to diversity to privatization. They offer a sharp, honest debate that digs deep into their disagreements, enabling them to find a surprising amount of common ground along the way. Written as a series of back-and-forth exchanges, this engaging book illustrates a model of responsible, civil debate between those with substantial, principled differences. It is also a powerful meditation on where 21st-century school improvement can and should go next. Book Features: Modeling dialogue: Rick and Pedro provide a model for how to sort through complicated issues and find common ground in today's atmosphere of distrust. Deliberate, sustained exchange: Rick and Pedro demonstrate how deliberate, sustained reflection allows them to respectfully flesh out differences and sharpen their own thoughts. Left and Right Politics: Rick (generally Right) and Pedro (generally Left) offer a window into where they do and don't agree on education and point the way to principled cooperation. Readable and conversational: Rather than pushing a partisan agenda, Rick and Pedro have crafted a stimulating read for education newcomers and experts alike. Unique approach: While other books about the different sides of the education debates simply present paired essays, Rick and Pedro actually engage with each other to strive for a deeper understanding of their differences., Written as a series of back-and-forth exchanges, this engaging book illustrates a model of responsible, civil debate between those with substantial, principled differences. It is also a powerful meditation on where 21st-century school improvement can and should go next.

- r***t (12)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI would like to thank the seller for being so kind during the entirety of my purchase, and for the excellent shipping speed. For starters, they extended a warm message to me regarding my purchase, and how they (the seller) had just been returning from a vacation, stating that my ordered product would be shipped ASAP, which was incredibly kind! Shipping speed was incredibly swift, and I wouldn't have known either way. I definitely look forward to buying again from here, thanks!
- .***8 (304)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI purchased this book on a Sunday afternoon. Shortly after I ordered it, I reached out to the seller to see if he could get it shipped out the next day. Believe it or not he actually answered me on Sunday and also promptly shipped the book out on Monday as promised. My mom received the book on Wednesday just in time for her trip up north. The seller communication and extra effort that was put into this transaction definitely goes above and beyond. Thank you!!!The Education of Little Tree by Forrest Carter 2004 PB NEW (#315686163812)
