Changing Our Minds: Negotiating English and Literacy
Author(s): Miles Myers
In this book, Myers refutes the common public perception that American schools have failed—in fact, he shows that American schools have been phenomenally successful in eliminating conventional illiteracy. The real problem now, Myers argues, is that the definition of minimal literacy is a century old and no longer addresses the needs of today's rapidly transforming society. Through compelling, research-driven historical narration, Changing Our Minds looks at where secondary education has been and where it needs to go in an age where collaborative learning and interpretive work have become essential, basic skills.
