Why knowledge matters: rescuing our children from failed educational theories by E. D. Hirsch
Requirements: .PDF reader, 27 Mb
Overview: In this provocative book, influential scholar E.D. Hirsch, Jr., addresses critical issues in contemporary education reform – over-testing, teacher blaming, preschool fadeout, and the persistence of achievement gaps over time. In each case, he shows how cherished truisms about education and child development have led to unintended and negative consequences. Drawing on recent findings in neuroscience and new data from France, he provides new evidence for the argument that a coherent, knowledge-based elementary curriculum is essential to providing the foundations for children’s life success and ensuring equal opportunity for students of all backgrounds.
