Two recent books bring together the two ends of my obsession with schools. Sam Chaltain's American Schools: The Art of Creating a Democratic Learning Community, and Elizabeth MacDonald and Dennis Shirley's The Mindful Teacher. Chaltain tackles the Big Issue through specific experiences in democratic communities, and MacDonald and Shirley start with a close look at what good teaching and learning is about, and tease out its implications for schooling writ large. Both suggest some "practical" directions.
