At their best, they enable students to overcome challenges like poverty by providing vital literacy and numeracy skills. At their worst, they condemn students to failure, both economically and in terms of preparing them to be active participants in a democratic society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eSchooling the Next Generation\u003c\/em\u003e, Dan Zuberi documents the challenges facing ten East Vancouver elementary schools in diverse lower-income communities, as well as the ways their principals, teachers, and parents are overcoming these challenges. Going beyond the façade of standardized test scores, Zuberi identifies the kinds of school and community programs that are making a difference and could be replicated in other schools. At the same time, he calls into question the assumptions behind a test score-driven search for \"successful schools.\" Focusing on early literacy and numeracy skills mastery, \u003cem\u003eSchooling the Next Generation\u003c\/em\u003e presents a slate of policy recommendations to help students in urban elementary schools achieve their full potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Zuberi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1442649496\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781442649491\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Toronto Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.70w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2016","brand":"Dan Zuberi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48485207671039,"sku":"9781442649491","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6fd35568-d53c-4b25-bf5a-b01615970f61.jpg?v=1778048616","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/schooling-the-next-generation-dan-zuberi-9781442649491","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
