If the essential acts of teaching are the same for schoolteachers and professors, why are they seen as members of quite separate professions? Would the nation's schools be better served if teachers shared more of the authority that professors have long enjoyed? Will a slow revolution be completed that enables schoolteachers to take charge of their озтнв practice--to shoulder more responsibility for hiring, mentoring, promoting, and, if necessary, firing their peers? This book explores these questions by analyzing the essential acts of teaching in a way that will help all teachers become more thoughtful practitioners It presents portraits of teachers (most of them women) struggling to take control of their practice in a system dominated by an administrative elite (mostly male) The educational system, Gerald Grant and Christine Murray argue, will be saved not by better managers but by better teachers And the only way to secure them is by attracting talented recruits, developing their skills, and instituting better means of assessing teachers' performance Grant and Murray describe the evolution of the teaching profession over the last hundred years, and then focus in depth on recent experiments that gave teachers the power to shape their schools and mentor young educators The authors conclude by analyzing three equally possible scenarios depicting the role of teachers in 2020.  ISBN 0674007980.

Appearing for the first time in an English-language edition, The Stroke puts forward a genuine theory of writing—that is, the concepts behind letters on the page, whether by pen, pencil, or brush Concerned not with art calligraphy and beautiful forms, The Stroke is a description of the phenomenon of letters and how they are made in writing Starting озтнж from basic principles, Noordzij begins with the white space that creates definition by surrounding letters Then, using simple geometrical concepts, he describes in minute detail how the strokes of writing can be formed His theory serves to repair the split that grew up, with the invention of printing, between written and typographic letters With The Stroke, Noordzij can be seen as a prophet of digital typography committed to freeing typefaces from the constraints of their embodiment in metal.  2006 г Мягкая обложка, 96 стр ISBN 0907259308.
