Résumé :
UNIT: School Reform in the Twenty-First Century

Is Test-Based Accountability Dead? Morgan S. Polikoff, Jay P. Greene, and Kevin Huffman, Education Next, 2017
Experts weigh in the prospects for standards-based education under a regime of high-stakes testing.

Holding Teachers Accountable Without Adequate Teacher Prep Programs Is a Set-Up, Zachary Wright, Education Post, 2019
A proponent of value-added student growth metrics, Zachary Wright argues that holding teachers accountable on this basis is a reasonable expectation. He argues that teacher preparation should be modified to include one-on-one video-based coaching that equips teacher candidates with the requisite skills.

Charter School Reform: Doublethink and the Assault on the Vulnerable, Morgan Anderson, Journal of Thought, 2016
Anderson discusses the relationship between the erosion of public schools and the genealogy of charter schools. Their proliferation poses the greatest threat to the children of families who are already on the societal margins.

The Paradox of Success at a No-Excuses School, Joanne W. Golann, Sociology of Education, 2015
Using ethnography and fieldwork, Golan studied an urban school reform model that has gained a great deal of prominence for closing the achievement gap between minoritized students and members of the dominant population. Her findings suggest that these setting reproduce a worker-learner that is loath to challenge authority.

Pedagogy against the Dead Zones of the Imagination, Henry A. Giroux, Transformations, 2016
Giroux proposes that the ultimate aim of neo-liberal school reform is to eradicate public schools as a democratic institution. In so doing, a primary source of developing basic civic virtues in our children will have been silenced.

The Myth of Accountability: How Data (Mis)Use Is Reinforcing the Problems of Public Education, Claire Fontaine, Data & Society, 2016
The history of standardized testing and data collection in American education has placed disproportionate emphasis on quantification and statistical analysis to measure learning. Accountability fails to address the sources of the achievement gap that has a basis in the different kinds of education available according to socioeconomic status.

A Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform, The National Commission on Excellence in Education, 1983
This report provided an argument for the view that American education was in crisis. Ponting to diminishing American global influence and superiority, the authors of the report advocated radical reform in education in order to hold schools accountable for student performance on the academic areas that provided basic skills.

UNIT: Educational Equity

The Radical Middle: The Limits and Advantages of Teaching Grit in Schools, Vicka Bell-Robinson, The Journal of School & Society, 2016
Bell-Robinson highlights the benefits of the growth mindset for students facing academic challenges but offers cautions about the unconditional embrace of grit as its motivation. Where there is systemic inequality, school reforms ought to support the individual student in breaking down these barriers.

...And a Child Shall Lead Them..., Eurydice Stanley, Journal of Language and Literacy, 2018
Stanley urges her audience to revisit the contentious school desegregation issue after the Brown vs. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) ruling. Together, with Elizabeth Stanley, who was one of the Little Rock Nine, she underscores that qualities of respect and tenacity that were essential then are also necessa...
