Applying the lens of cognitive science to existing middle school science curricula in an effort to improve student learning of science
The terms "at-risk students" and "school restructuring" are very current in American education. They refer to concepts that have been discussed in the press and explored in the literature as discrete issues—often superficially, sometimes deeply. The collection of papers in this new book asserts that the solution to the "at-risk problem" demands school changes that are validly "restructuring"; that only if schools are changed in a broad and powerful way can they truly serve all students. Through the work of a dozen authors, the book defines the concepts and explores component issues with the maturity of understanding made possible by years of work.
