As experts agree, our primary assessment technologies—grading, rating, and ranking—don't actually provide an accurate picture of how students are doing in school. In Off the Mark, Jack Schneider and Ethan Hutt explain how we got into this predicament, why we remain beholden to outmoded forms of assessment, and what we can do to change course.

The Fantasy Economy challenges the basic assumptions of the education reform movement of the last few decades.

“Ho sempre guardato con grande interesse alle vicende della scuola, frequentando istituti e docenti, intervenendo sull’ossessivo succedersi di riforme realizzate o vagheggiate, partecipando a tante discussioni. Ora mi è sembrato che la situazione creata dal Covid-19 abbia mandato in fumo tante di quelle discussioni, tanto agitarsi e arrabattarsi di politici, di pedagoghi, di sindacalisti, di riformatori e di resistenti alle riforme: abbiamo visto la scuola ferma, bambini e adolescenti a casa, anche se poi sono seguite aperture parziali ed eterogenee.

Unsettling Choice traces the contestations that surfaced when, in the wake of the 2007-2009 Great Recession, public schools navigated austerity by expanding choice-based programs.
