An Ethic of Excellence
An Ethic of Excellence: Building a Culture of Craftsmanship with Students | Ron Berger
8 posts | 1 read | 1 reading
The author gives us a vision of educational reform that transcends standards, curriculum, and instructional strategies. He argues for a paradigm shift-a schoolwide embrace of an "ethic of excellence" and with a passion for quality describes what's possible when teachers, students, and parents commit to nothing less than the best. The author tells exactly how this can be done, from the blackboard to the blacktop to the school boardroom.
