Описание: Theory and practice of school leadership from distinguished scholars and practitioners from around the world.
Unsettling Education: Searching for Ethical Footing in a Time of Reform offers a counter-narrative to the prevailing orthodoxies of schooling and school reform that conflate education and learning with that which can be measured on state-mandated examinations. Despite the push to "settle" the purposes of teaching and schooling in ways that see education as the teaching of a discrete set of skills that align with standardized exams, there are teachers and students who continue to resist standardization and whose stories suggest there are many ways to organize schools, design curriculum, and understand the purposes of education. Unsettling Education shares stories of how teachers have resisted state and local mandates to teach to the test in dehumanizing ways, how such teachers have sought to de-commodify educational spaces, how they have enacted their ethical commitments to students and communities, and how they have theorized such practices, sometimes even reconsidering their roles as teachers and the very purposes of schooling. Volume contributors offer concrete ways in which teachers might challenge the structures of schooling to reveal the full humanity and potential of students through different forms of resistance pedagogy, institutional critiques, and critical self-reflection. Featuring a wide range of voices and contexts, the collections’ chapters blend story and theory, resulting in a volume both accessible and thought-provoking to varied audiences—from undergraduate students of education and concerned citizens to veteran educators, teacher educators, administrators, and policymakers.

I think the most important part of this was not so much the actual answers, but more of learning what the questions were really asking. It made me think like the PMI. This helped my understanding immensely." Ken Gill, PMP - Program Manager, Information Systems Security Operations - Bentonville, Arkansas"Sincere thanks for providing the practice exam questions with same look and feel as the actual exam, even though the exam format was new, I was able to pass by using the practice questions." Jaspal Khanna PMP - IT Manager, Alpha Tours - Dubai (U.A.E)"I passed the PMP exam on my first attempt Prior to taking the real exam I did a few practice exams each day for a few weeks. As I discovered weak areas (easily identified from the exam results), I reviewed those areas to improve my knowledge. This process worked very well for me without taking a great deal of time each day (important when you have to work for a living)." George K. Hochschwender, PMP - Andover, NJ USA"I passed my PMP certification the first time I contribute my success to these practice exams as one of my main study tools. The answer explanations cite locations within PMBOK. From my test experience the practice exam structures are one of the closest I found that mirrored the types of questions on the PMP exam." Teresa Rosenbaum, PMP - PBM Industry - Westminster, California"I found many of your questions to be similar in nature and difficulty to those on the actual exam. My overall score on the practice tests paralleled that on the actual exam. Passing these practice tests prior to sitting the PMI exam allowed me to take it with confidence. I found that taking the practice tests also sped up my answers and I completed the PMI exam with time to spare." D. Shannon, PMP - New Mexico, USA
