Education Reform in the Twenty-First Century

The Marketization of Teaching and Learning at a No-Excuses Charter School

By: Erinn Brooks

This book explores how, why, and with what consequences one no-excuses charter network marketizes teaching and learning, through the author’s 1000 hours of covert participant observation at a network charter school. In her research, Brooks found that the “AAG” (pseudonym) network re-conceptualized teaching by urging staff to envision their careers in corporate education rather than in classroom teaching. While some employees received a boost up the corporate ladder, others found themselves being pushed out of the organization. Despite AAG’s equity-conscious discourse, administrators emphasized controlling student behavior as a central measure of teaching effectiveness. Brooks develops the concept of creative compliance to describe the most successful teachers’ tactics for adhering to formal policies strategically, bending the rules in order to survive and advance in a workplace fraught with competition and insecurity.

The Endowment

One Woman's Journey of Soul and Spirit

By: Erinn Andrews

Rachel Fredericks is a woman in deep turmoil. Behind her beautiful smile she wonders if life is worth living. As the wife of a powerful pastor, she has always kept her struggles well hidden, until now. In her new search for truth and meaning, Rachel begins to uncover troubling issues about her husband, Jonathan. With his ministry expanding at a fever pitch, he is headed toward greatness. Will Jonathan aid Rachel in her search for truth, even if it might implicate him and threaten his pastoral career? How will the truth change Rachel's relationship with her husband? How will it change her view of God? Journey with Rachel as she weathers the voyage from blind follower to a person of character and deep conviction in the Word of God. Created to explore the inner political conflict of millions who call themselves Christians, The Endowment offers a fresh look at spiritual growth.
