Romances with schools a life of education
Bibliographic record
Abstract
"In Romances with Schools, John Goodlad steps out from behind the public persona of distinguished scholar and advocate for public schooling to offer a moving personal account of a life devoted to educating the young. He deftly interweaves fascinating personal details with reflections on many of the larger issues in education that he has explored throughout his career." "John's early encounters with formal schooling begin just before the Great Depression in Canada with the humble North Star School. From there we are taken through sixty-plus years in education, starting with John's first teaching job as the sole instructor of a one-room schoolhouse in a farming community in British Columbia, through his years as an education activist and founder of the famed Englewood Project, to his decision in the 1980s to step down as dean of the UCLA Graduate School of Education to return to his first love, teaching. Along the way, he treats us to vivid characterizations of the men, women, and above all, the children who shaped him as a person and inspired his thinking on education. And he explores important themes at the center of his philosophy, such as the pernicious influence of tracking and standardized testing and the need for perpetual reevaluation and renewal in pedagogy." "Offering a compelling view of public education in North America as seen through the prism of one extraordinary person's life, Romances with Schools is both a poignant memoir and what may be John Goodlad's most persuasive argument yet for the need to change public education to fit the demands of a free society."--BOOK JACKET.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
