Resisting the Pendulum Swing: Informed Perspectives on Education
Controversies
The authors examine
five overarching goals for this collaborative project: 1) to resist faddism and false dualisms, 2) to promote a deeper understanding of education controversy, 3) to examine the beliefs that underlie the battles, 4) to respond more thoughtfully to education debates, and 5) to expose the barriers to informed perspectives.
