NEW! FROM EDUCATION WORLD
*****************************************************************************

Each week, Education World spotlights books of interest to educators. This week, read a brief summary of two more of our "top 50 books for educators."

Teaching With Love and Logic: Taking Control of the Classroom
Jim Fay and David Funk embody their method of classroom management in the term "love and logic," and follow up this concept with chapters like "Apply Consequences with Empathy." Aimed ultimately at transferring the responsibility for maintaining order from the teacher to the student, this method is a "golden mean," a balanced approach that sees both teachers and students as real human beings. A treasure!

Savage Inequalities: Children in America's Schools
It's hard to believe that it's been 15 years since this powerful book hit the education scene, and if you've never read it, get this paperback edition and a box of tissues, because these stories from our nation's poorest schools have lost none of their emotional punch. Kozol's more recent books, including "Amazing Grace" and "Shame of the Nation," demonstrate that we have not solved the problems dramatized in "Savage Inequalities," but it's worth returning to this 1992 volume as well, to once hear Kozol's exquisite voice raised in just anger.
