Melancholy Bay: An odyssey by John Rucker

Melancholy Bay: An odyssey by John Rucker

Self-evaluation is going global. This book describes what happened when teams of school students from across the world embarked on the trip of a lifetime to explore the school lives of their international contemporaries.
The students involved in The Learning School project used a variety of tools to evaluate the learning, motivation and self-evaluation abilities of school students in the UK, Sweden, Japan, Germany, the Czech Republic, South Africa and South Korea. From the easy freedom of the Swedish school to the highly structured day in the Czech Republic, this study shows that success and effectiveness in education really is in the eye of the beholder.
The results of this study have significant implications for school leaders and managers, policy makers and academics, and all those concerned with school improvement. This lively and accessible book makes intriguing and important reading, raising fundamental questions about how we judge quality and effectiveness in teaching and learning.

John Rucker is an avid photographer and naturalis. He is the published author of several books and articles, he is a promoter of ecotourism and biodiversity, expecially in the southeast. John now concentrates on his writing while living in the southern Appalachians.
