Since its founding in 1841, Punahou School has been known for its exceptional quality of education, faculty, students, and facilities, and for its enduring sense of place and community rooted in the land known as Kapunahou. To commemorate the 175th anniversary of Punahou, this book explores and celebrates the elements that make it a world-class educational community―intellectual rigor, innovation, commitment to engaging the school community in the greater public good, respect for tradition, and a setting of outstanding natural and architectural beauty. Contemporary photographs by alumnus Linny Morris showcase historic aspects of Punahou's expansive campus, including the sacred spring for which the land and the school are named. The images also highlight the school's modern educational facilities and significant annual events. Nineteenth-century lithographs, daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and cartes de visite reproduced throughout the book illuminate the school's combined Native Hawaiian and New England heritage and the people behind the stories of the school―Hawaiian ali‘i associated with Kapunahou, New England missionary families associated with the founding of the school, and students who attended in its earliest days. In his introduction, President Jim Scott describes how the history of the land and the school's founding in 1841 have inspired his leadership and his commitment to socioeconomic diversity at Punahou. Twelve writers, educators, and journalists probe the ways in which Punahou has evolved as a place where entrepreneurship, sustainability, global citizenship, public service, and inquiry-based learning stand at the center of its teaching philosophy. The essays describe how the science of brain development and the neurology of learning are shaping Punahou's educational environment and curriculum. They also explore the nature of leadership at Punahou, the school's commitment to public service, and the ongoing effort to achieve greater diversity in its student population. Brief profiles of a range of former students--from Beatrice Krauss (class of 1922) to Carissa Moore (class of 2010)―reflect Punahou's global reach and its continuing success at shaping and enriching the lives in its graduates.

Medical products are required to disclose both their intended outcomes and known side effects. Educational policy and practice, however, carry no such labels. Thus, teachers, school leaders, and the public are not told, for example, that “this program helps improve your students’ reading scores, but it may make them hate reading forever,” or that “school choice may improve test scores of some students, but it may lead to the collapse of American public education.” In his new book, Yong Zhao, distinguished professor and specialist in education policy, shines a light on the long-ignored phenomenon of side effects of education policies and practices, bringing a fresh and perhaps surprising perspective to evidence-based practices and policies. Identifying the adverse effects of some of the “best” educational interventions with examples from classrooms to boardrooms, the author investigates causes and offers clear recommendations. This volume will help the field of education to advance beyond the extreme pendulum swings that characterize today’s school reform efforts. Book Features: <ul>
<li>Provides evidence to show how popularly endorsed education strategies, policies, and systems can actually do harm to students.</li> <li>Encourages educators to consider some less-publicized or lower-effect strategies that may be just what the doctor ordered for some students and classrooms.</li> <li>Cautions educators, policymakers, and parents to be more thoughtful when considering educational programs and weighing evidence.</li> <li>Calls for researchers to include possible downsides to strategies that they are testing and promoting in order to assist school leaders and practitioners in choosing and implementing educational interventions.</li>

An Education Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste: How Radical Changes Can Spark Student Excitement and Success

Discover how education innovations can produce astonishing results in student success both in and out of school. The educators featured in this book were motivated by the conviction that even the best status quo education was not serving current student needs. They responded with radical changes that tap into recent ideas about educational transformation: personalization, student-driven curriculum, student agency and co-ownership of learning direction, school-sheltered student entrepreneurship, student-led civic projects, creativity education, and product-oriented learning. Readers will find carefully researched and detailed stories of on-the-ground models where students learn empathy, cooperation, creativity, and self-management, alongside rigorous academics. Together these stories provide insight into the process of innovation and the elements that can make change successful. An Education Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste will inspire educators in ordinary situations to take extraordinary actions toward a new paradigm of education in which all students can flourish. Book Features: <ul>
<li>Real-life stories of students, teachers, school principals, and school networks that have made radical innovations in education.</li> <li>Cutting-edge innovations that took place in a broad range of schools―public and private, elementary to high school.</li> <li>Specific strategies and tactics educators can use to counter preconceived or real concerns that prevent them from taking action to change.</li>

Duck and Cover: Confronting and Correcting Dubious Practices in Education

In the 1950s and 1960s, students practiced ducking under their desks in case of an atomic bomb attack. We know that this was silly and provided no protection and many school practices that are popular today are equally silly. This book explores a wide range of what the authors label “duck and cover” policies―ideas that may have started for good reasons but whose usefulness has declined over time, ideas that may lack sound theoretical foundations or long-term evidence, ideas that violate basic logic and reasoning or cause serious and proven damage. Ginsberg and Zhao explore how and why these policies were adopted, along with the underlying factors that push school leaders to maintain them. They also offer recommendations for reconsidering, replacing, or just removing these dubious strategies from practice. Topics include standardized testing, kindergarten readiness, college and career readiness, social and emotional learning, teaching evaluations, class size, professional development, time management, and much more. Duck and Cover will help readers think about their schools’ policies and practices in new ways, encouraging ongoing consideration and feedback about what actually works. 
Book Features: Invites K–12 educational policymakers, researchers, and practitioners to question the effectiveness of everyday practices. Shows that some commonly practiced and even sacred beliefs in education are not scientifically sound or even logical. Points to actions that leaders can take to remove, reconsider, or revise detrimental practices―a duck-and-cover audit guide with questions readers can use to examine what they do.

Focused: Understanding, Negotiating, and Maximizing Your Influence as a School Leader

The secrets behind China's extraordinary educational system – good, bad, and ugly Chinese students' consistently stunning performance on the international PISA exams― where they outscore students of all other nations in math, reading, and science―have positioned China as a world education leader. American educators and pundits have declared this a "Sputnik Moment," saying that we must learn from China's education system in order to maintain our status as an education leader and global superpower. Indeed, many of the reforms taking hold in United States schools, such as a greater emphasis on standardized testing and the increasing importance of core subjects like reading and math, echo the Chinese system. We're following in China's footsteps―but is this the direction we should take? Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon? by award-winning writer Yong Zhao offers an entertaining, provocative insider's account of the Chinese school system, revealing the secrets that make it both "the best and worst" in the world. Born and raised in China's Sichuan province and a teacher in China for many years, Zhao has a unique perspective on Chinese culture and education. He explains in vivid detail how China turns out the world's highest-achieving students in reading, math, and science―yet by all accounts Chinese educators, parents, and political leaders hate the system and long to send their kids to western schools. Filled with fascinating stories and compelling data, Who's Afraid of the Big Bad Dragon? offers a nuanced and sobering tour of education in China. <ul>
<li>Learn how China is able to turn out the world's highest achieving students in math, science, and reading</li> <li>Discover why, despite these amazing test scores, Chinese parents, teachers, and political leaders are desperate to leave behind their educational system</li> <li>Discover how current reforms in the U.S. parallel the classic Chinese system, and how this could help (or hurt) our students' prospects</li> </ul>
