Includes bibliographical references.In today's kindergartens, children spend more time with math worksheets and phonics flashcards than building blocks and finger paint. Kindergarten is becoming more like the rest of school. Here, learning expert Resnick argues for exactly the opposite: the rest of school (even the rest of life) should be more like kindergarten.

Race and education in North Carolina : from segregation to desegregation / by Batchelor, John E.,author.(CARDINAL)336138;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 195-213) and index.Education, race, and politics -- Segregation: separate and unequal, through the 1950s -- North Carolina's response to Brown: The Pearsall Plan, 1952 to 1956 -- Tokenism: from 1956 to 1960 -- The impact of the Civil Rights Movement: from 1960 to the mid-1960s -- Early, limited desegregation: the mid- to late 1960s -- System-wide desegregation: late 1960s to late 1970s -- Epilogue: reform and resegregation.The separation of white and black schools remained largely unquestioned and unchallenged in North Carolina for the first half of the twentieth century, yet by the end of the 1970s, the Tar Heel State operated the most thoroughly desegregated school system in the nation. In Race and Education in North Carolina, John E. Batchelor, a former North Carolina school superintendent, offers a robust analysis of this sea change and the initiatives that comprised the gradual, and often reluctant, desegregation of the state’s public schools. Drawing from case law, newspapers, interviews with policy makers, civil rights leaders, and attorneys involved in school desegregation, as well as previously unused archival material, Race and Education in North Carolina presents a richly textured history of the legal and political factors that informed, obstructed, and finally cleared the way for desegregation in the North Carolina public education system.--

Righteous troublemakers : untold stories of the social justice movement in America / by Sharpton, Al,author.(CARDINAL)394791;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 287-302).The march ain't over -- The cornerstones of a movement -- Turning pain into purpose -- Things worse than death -- A reckoning -- True grit -- A moral beacon -- No greater honor -- Our legacy -- The state of the dream.While the world may know the major names of the Civil Rights movement, there are countless lesser-known heroes fighting the good fight to advance equal justice for all, heeding the call when no one else was listening, often risking their lives and livelihoods in the process. This book shines a light on everyday people called to do extraordinary things--like Pauli Murray, whose early work informed Thurgood Marshall's legal argument for Brown v. Board of Education; Claudette Colvin, who refused to give up her seat on a segregated bus months before Rosa Parks did the same; and Gwen Carr, whose private pain in losing her son Eric Garner stoked her public activism against police brutality.

When exciting new technologies combine with hands-on traditions, your classroom becomes a makerspace where learning soars. The time is now to place invention and creativity ahead of worksheets and testing. Using technology to make, repair, or customize the things we need democratizes engineering, design, and computer science. Fortunately for educators, this maker movement overlaps with the natural inclinations of children and the power of learning by doing. Making, tinkering, and engineering are how people learn and work in the 21st Century. This book explores how you can join the exciting maker movement and turn any K-12 classroom into a center of innovation."--Back cover.
