The Global Achievement Gap: Why Even Our Best Schools Don't Teach the New Survival Skills Our Children ...
Tony Wagner

Basic Books, 2008

Despite the best efforts of educators, our nation’s schools are dangerously obsolete. Instead of teaching students to be critical thinkers and problem-solvers, we are asking them to memorize facts for multiple choice tests. This problem isn’t limited to low-income school districts: even our top schools aren’t teaching or testing the skills that matter most in the global knowledge economy. Our teens leave school equipped to work ...

Writing Across Culture: An Introduction to Study Abroad and the Writing Process
Kenneth Wagner, Tony Magistrale

Peter Lang Publishing, 2000

This book is about culture shock and the writing process. For a student, the relationship between writing and the challenge of living in a foreign culture may not be obvious. The purpose of Writing Across Culture is to aid the student in documenting and analyzing the connection. If culture can be broadly defined as the unwritten rules of every-day life, one effective method for learning these rules is to write about them as they are ...

How Schools Change

2 reviews

Taylor & Francis, 2007

Anyone related to education needs to read this....
Wagner has written three profiles of schools in the process of change. What I found helpful about this book is that he recognizes that this process will take time and will encounter set backs but it is still very much worth doing. He presents three goals that need to be at the front of any kind of school reform--legislators? are you listening? First, there need to be clear goals identified by ...

MAKING THE GRADE

2 reviews

Taylor & Francis, 2007

Glad I waded through the pedagogic pap
After the de rigeur citations of every great thinker from Einstein to Jean Piaget, Wagner finally gets on with letting us know what he thinks. His own thoughts are good enough that he didn't need to lean on current heavies from Harvard or big names from bygone eras. His point is that standardized tests aren't the answer, but before we deal with them we need to focus on the problem they address. ...

Asperger's and Girls

Tony Attwood, Temple Grandin, ...

Future Horizons, 2006

Good for girls
Many books written about disability are often taken from or about boys experiences,and girls have not yet got on the radar in many areas. I speak from experience as I have a daughter with AS. She is now 22 y.o and I have just discovered this. Not through lack of searching for information, (and misdirection from 'professionals) but by discovering literature written by Tony Attwood et al. ...
