The Allure of Order Jal Mehta In The Allure of Order, Associate Professor Jal Mehta recounts the many attempts — and failures — to reform the U.S. education system over the past century. The problem, he contends, is that reformers are coming at the problem backwards: Rather than focusing on the accountability of a teaching force that has failed, we should be concentrating instead on building a strong, skilled, and expert profession from the beginning.

Anytime, Anywhere: Student-Centered Learning for Schools and Teachers Nancy Hoffman, Rebecca Wolfe, and Adria Steinberg For years educators have argued for a transition from the traditional way of teaching to student-centered learning, focusing on the needs of each individual student. Anytime, Anywhere, cowritten by Adjunct Lecturer Nancy Hoffman, highlights research and practices that support the premise that students learn best when they have a true stake in their own learning.

The Big Disconnect Catherine Steiner-Adair with Teresa Barker In a time where technology is at our fingertips and access to information is quick, how do we maintain a personal connection to our children and guide them through the transition into adulthood? In The Big Disconnect, Catherine Steiner-Adair, Ed.M.'77, Ed.D.'84, explores how the Internet and other media are changing childhood and family dynamics, and suggests ways in which parents can prepare their children for "meaningful life in the digital age."

Contesting the Myth of a 'Post Racial' Era Dorinda Carter Andrews and Franklin Tuitt Education scholars come together in Contesting the Myth to explore the implications of race and racism in education in the Obama era. Through examinations of policy, practice, research, equity, and access, Dorinda Carter Andrews, Ed.M.'01, Ed.D.'05, and Franklin Tuitt, C.A.S.'96, Ed.M.'97, Ed.D.'03, dismiss the notion of a post-racial United States and demonstrate how far there is to go to improve access and opportunity for students of color.

Sex Ed for Caring Schools Sharon Lamb Striving to go beyond the health education provided by most schools and to address topics that are of genuine concern to today's teens, Sex Ed for Caring Schools by Sharon Lamb, Ed.M.'80, Ed.D.'88 — and its online counterpart — outlines the controversies surrounding sex education and presents a curriculum that encourages students to think, talk, and write about the "moral and relational issues underlying sex in society today."
