A faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education shares his personal journey, which sheds new light on antiquated school systems that fail a majority of students, and provides ideas and action items for change. - Baker & Taylor
Part memoir, part social commentary, the author, a faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, shares his extraordinary personal journey, which sheds new light on antiquated school systems that fail a majority of students, and provides big ideas and action items for change. - Grand Central Pub
In the seventh grade, Todd Rose was suspended-not for the first time-for throwing six stink bombs at the blackboard, where his art teacher stood with his back to the class. At eighteen, he was a high school dropout, stocking shelves at a department store for $4.25 an hour. Today, Rose is a faculty member at the Harvard Graduate School of Education.
Square Peg illuminates the struggles of millions of bright young children -- and their frustrated parents and teachers--who are stuck in a one-size-fits-all school system that fails to approach the student as an individual. Rose shares his own incredible journey from troubled childhood to Harvard, seamlessly integrating cutting-edge research in neuroscience and psychology along with advances in the field of education, to ultimately provide a roadmap for parents and teachers of kids who are the casualties of America's antiquated school system.
With a distinguished blend of humor, humility, and practical advice for nurturing children who are a poor fit in conventional schools, Square Peg is a game-changing manifesto that provides groundbreaking insight into how we can get the most out of all the students in our classrooms, and why today's dropouts could be tomorrow's innovators. - HARPERCOLL
