Dorn, Sherman, Shircliffe, Barbara, Cobb-Roberts, Deirdre

SUMMARY

As the federal government forces states to create centralized systems of accountability, the notion of a "community" school is now less and less defined by substantive decisions on core curriculum. Yet, the idea of a school as community survives, through the local politics of education or the policies of magnet and charter schools with small student populations. This collection explores the extent to which our collective notions of school-community relations have prevented us from speaking openly about the tensions created when we imagine schools as communities.Dorn, Sherman is the author of 'Schools As Imagined Communities The Creation Of Identity, Meaning, And Conflict In U.S. History', published 2006 under ISBN 9781403964724 and ISBN 1403964726.
