Teaching by Numbers: Deconstructing the Discourse of Standards and Accountability in Education by Peter Taubman has been named to the list of books for the 2010 Critics Choice Book Award of the American Educational Studies Association (AESA).
Just published by Routledge, Learning to Read the Numbers highlights the importance of integrating critical literacy and critical numeracy so that children can learn to question and challenge numerical information across the curriculum. The Whitins argue that fostering a critical attitude toward data is an essential democratic disposition in today’s data-drenched world. They present a heuristic that outlines key questions for learners to pose that support a critical orientation toward statistics. They conclude the book with a case study about some fifth grade students who investigated advertising on children’s television. These children learned to document the problem, gather evidence to support their claims, and use their data to present a persuasive argument to their peers and to marketers themselves.
