The authors argue for an elementary school that is hospitable and active---a community of scholars in which "some are teachers but all are learners." They define the shape and content of an ideal elementary education, and they provide specific goals, including a statement of what telve-year-olds should know and be able to accomplish. A checklist will help parents, teachers, and legislators monitor the quality of their local schools.Mitchell, Ruth is the author of 'Smart Start Elementary Education for the 21st Century' with ISBN 9781555919092 and ISBN 155591909X.
