You can take a sneak peek at the new format and peruse the contents of the new issue at: http://www.rethinkingschools.org The spiffy new format is easier to read, easier to navigate, easier to store, and easier to share -- it fits right on the copy machine with no cutting or creative folding required. And, frankly, it looks a hundred times nicer. We'll be able to do a lot more with graphics and design. But while the format has changed, the content of "Rethinking Schools" remains as relevant to the classroom, and the pursuit of social justice, as ever. We'll continue to offer the mix of curriculum ideas, lesson plans, policy analysis and resource listings that have made us a hit with teachers in all 50 states, all Canadian provinces and dozens of countries around the world. The Fall 2003 issue includes: -- "The Politics of Correction" - Linda Christensen on how high-quality writing instruction can "both nurture students in their writing and help them learn the language of power." -- "Money, Schools and Justice" - With budget crises and belt-tightening the themes in many districts, Stan Karp takes a look at the fight for educational equity and the flaws in the way the United States finances public education. -- "No Child Left Untested" - Monty Neill of the National Center for Fair & Open Testing (FairTest) crafts a strategy for "making lemonade from NCLB lemons." -- "Head Start or Head Backwards?" - Barbara Miner explores Republican plans to dismantle Head Start. -- "Understanding Large Numbers" - Bob Peterson uses the military budget as a real-world example to teach fifth graders about large numbers.
