by Herve VarenneThe five articles in this section take us in an unusual direction—unless one pays close attention to Cremin’s own practice in his historical investigations. If education is as much about teaching as about learning, and about setting up conditions as well as finding out about them, then we must also pay attention to the processes through which those responsible for the legitimate constitutions of institutions deliberately shape those whom they recruit, change their practices, and even reconstitute their very organization.
post a comment by Anne LormierThe lived experience of technological alienation is explored by examining interactions in which museum visitors reflect on and seek to account for their inability to see an exhibited 727 cockpit as they imagine a pilot would. This inability becomes for visitors a new order of datum, which can be used to educate oneself or others about the processes in which they are enmeshed, including family, schooling, and a complex economy. comments (1) by Linda J. LinThis article examines (mis-)education into American racism through the ways in which people find out about the difficulties of talking about race. Specifically, this article examines the telling of a (mis-)educative endeavor to “raise racial consciousness” as an educative endeavor. post a comment

by Gary NatrielloThe editors of TCR announce a call for proposals for future volumes of the NSSE Yearbooks.
by Frederick M. HessSecretary of Education Arne Duncan has called for mayoral control in urban districts, charging that urban school boards are an obstacle to school improvement and "a huge part of the reason you don't see sustained progress and growth.” Is he right? Sort of. Mayoral control is s sensible first step for these systems, if pursued sensibly. It can facilitate coherent and disciplined leadership, but proposals should address concerns about transparency and be pursued with an eye to the future. Mayoral control is not a remedy in itself; it provides only an opportunity for smart reform. by James R. Flynn Several lines of analysis suggest that peer subculture, at least among Britons and US blacks, affects IQ test performance. By the teenage years, it is so potent as to swamp family and school. For example, in Britain, data for 1980 to 2008 show that the teenage years are exceptional in that contemporary youth have made no IQ gains over time, even though younger schoolchildren and adults have made significant gains. In America, the teenage years show black IQ steadily losing ground on white IQ. Although the role of black teenage subculture is in dispute, comparative data from Germany, where black subculture was absent, showed IQ parity between the races.
This week, Roslyn Arlin Mickelson of UNC Charlotte and Kathryn Borman of the University of South Florida talk about their TCR special issues on the effects of diversity on educational outcomes, and why diverse classrooms are a compelling state interest. Video produced by Simon Doolittle. For more videos on educational topics, visit After Ed.
