Reclaiming inclusion in an age of indignation
As educators have pushed for inclusion of all marginalized students of different identities, we’ve seen a backlash of political and parental indignation. Andy Hargreaves and Dennis Shirley suggest that while it’s sometimes clear who is right and who is wrong in these disputes, some issues aren’t so clear, and people’s multiple identities can come in conflict. They suggest that better representation, drawing upon our capacity for sympathy, not giv…
Going all-in for well-being
Social-emotional learning (SEL) programs have become one of the most popular tools that schools use to help students learn to manage their emotions and build better relationships. But Dennis Shirley and Andy Hargreaves argue that these programs are insufficient to help students face today’s challenges. It would be far better, they explain, for schools to focus on programs that enhance students’ well-being. A focus on well-being involves no longer…
The sustainability and unsustainability of teachers’ and leaders’well-being
The Fourth Way
Beginning with an incisive analysis of the three major educational change efforts of the past 25 years, Andy Hargreaves & Dennis Shirley offer a plan that integrates government policy professional involvement, & public engagement to create an environment of greater inclusiveness, security, & humanity
The Coming of Post-Standardization in Education
Recent reforms intended to raise academic achievement in the United States have resulted in a narrowing of the curriculum, ethically dubious strategies of targeting some students and neglecting others, and teachers’ loss of professional discretion and control. These perverse consequences of the standards and accountability movements are leading to a new age of “ post-standardization“ in which educators will re-assert their pedagogical autonomy an…
The Blood-Brain Barrier— Lessons from Moody Flies
Despite the importance of the blood-brain barrier (BBB), little is known about the molecular mechanisms that control its integrity. The identification of moody, a gene required for the formation and maintenance of the Drosophila BBB, provides new insight into how paracellular junctions are formed at the barrier. Meanwhile, moody also has been identified in a screen for fly mutants with altered sensitivity to cocaine, remarkably implicating the BB…

In Anticipation of Our Editorship
Among the devices that we use to impose order upon a complicated (but by no means unstructured) world, classification--or the division of items into categories based on perceived similarities--must rank as the most general and most pervasive of all. And no strategy of classification cuts deeper--while providing such an even balance of benefits and difficulties--than our propensity for division by two, or dichotomy. Some basic attributes of surrou…

When Did New England Women Acquire Literacy
URING the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries the proportion of New England women with some education increased substantially. Historians have studied this phenomenon at two levels. One level concerns advanced education-the development of female academies and colleges with serious academic curricula. The other concerns the acquisition of basic literacy. Recently, much more attention has been accorded to the first topic, perhaps because…
