The Death and Resurrection of a Coherent Literature Curriculum

Meer over het boek

The book addresses the critical need for experienced educators to create challenging literature curricula to elevate high school students' reading levels, which currently stagnate around fifth or sixth grade. It critiques education policymakers and test developers who hinder the inclusion of appropriately difficult texts in high school, arguing that such obstacles prevent the establishment of a coherent literature curriculum. The author advocates for a reevaluation of educational practices to better prepare students for advanced reading and comprehension.
