Michigan's education system has been transformed by the rapid growth of charter schools and school choice since 1993. A New Type of Public School: Primary Source Interviews and Essays on Michigan Charter Schools traces the state's journey from restrictive policies to a dynamic, often controversial marketplace for public education.

Drawing on original documents and the voices of policymakers, the chapters in this book reveal how political leaders and advocacy networks have reshaped governance, accountability, and equity. Michigan's story offers vital insights into the national debate on charter schools and the future of public education.

A New Type of Public School demystifies the policymaking process and provides a vital lens on the complexities of educational reform. It is essential reading for educators, policymakers, and anyone invested in the future of public schooling.

Assessing Science Understanding: A Human Constructivist View
Recent government publications like Benchmarks for Scientific Literacy and Science for all Americans have given teachers a mandate for improving science education in America. What we know about how learners construct meaning--particularly in the natural sciences--has undergone a virtual revolution in the past 25 years. Teachers, as well as researchers, are now grappling with how to better teach science, as well as how to assess whether students are learning. Assessing Science Understanding is a companion volume to Teaching Science for Understanding, and explores how to assess whether learning has taken place. The book discusses a range of promising new and practical tools for assessment including concept maps, vee diagrams, clinical interviews, problem sets, performance-based assessments, computer-based methods, visual and observational testing, portfolios, explanatory models, and national examinations.
