The book discusses a congressional hearing involving leaders from Harvard University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and University of Pennsylvania, and considers public and institutional responses to issues such as campus speech, antisemitism, and university governance. Stefanik presents her perspective on changes in academic culture, including discussions of free expression, ideological diversity, and administrative decision-making.

While lots of kids are still doing okay, many more than ever are not. The Kids Who Aren’t Okay opens with sobering statistics on children’s mental health: higher than ever rates of concerning behaviors at school, anxiety, depression, chronic absenteeism, and suicidality. And educators—who have never felt less safe at school, have experienced significant decreases in job satisfaction, and have left the profession in droves—aren’t doing very well, either. Child psychologist Dr. Ross Greene... has worked in and with schools across the globe for decades. He argues that the moment demands that we renew our focus on developmental variability and meeting every student where they’re at, and that we take a hard look at our structures, practices, and mentalities at school and make practical, actionable, realistic changes that benefit all kids and educators. These changes must include shifting to interventions that are proactive (early) rather than reactive (late), solutions that are collaborative rather than unilateral, and focused on the problems that are causing concerning behaviors (and solving them) rather than behaviors (and modifying them)."--Amazon.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4298350</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4298350</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Greene, Ross W.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4298350105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>The Urgent Case for Reimagining Support, Belonging, and Hope in Schools</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781668203903/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1565150469</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Epic IEP]]></title><description><![CDATA["The Epic IEP is an essential, all-in-one guide for parents, educators, and advocates seeking to navigate the often overwhelming world of special education.

In The Digital Delusion, neuroscientist and educator Dr. Jared Cooney Horvath reveals why digital tools in school consistently undermine learning--and what parents, teachers, and schools can do to push back with purpose. Drawing on decades of neuroscience and education research, Horvath dismantles the core myths driving the EdTech movement, and offers a practical playbook for putting people--not programs--back at the center of education.

But recently, Nussbaum argues, thinking about the aims of education has gone disturbingly awry in the United States and abroad. We increasingly treat education as though its primary goal were to teach students to be economically productive rather than to think critically and become knowledgeable, productive, and empathetic individuals. This shortsighted focus on profitable skills has eroded our ability to criticize authority, reduced our sympathy with the marginalized and different, and damaged our competence to deal with complex global problems. And the loss of these basic capacities jeopardizes the health of democracies and the hope of a decent world. In response to this dire situation, Nussbaum argues that we must resist efforts to reduce education to a tool of the gross national product. Rather, we must work to reconnect education to the humanities in order to give students the capacity to be true democratic citizens of their countries and the world."-- Publisher description.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4314453</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4314453</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Nussbaum, Martha C.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 31 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4314453105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Why Democracy Needs the Humanities</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780691264394/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1421924022</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dyslexia and your Newly Diagnosed Child]]></title><description><![CDATA[Practical guidance and tools caregivers need to support the 6- to 9- year olds in their lives.

However, at age 32, with big dreams and few tools to actualize them, he dedicated himself to learning the key skill that had evaded him his entire life: reading. Oliver has become a TikTok/BookTok sensation for the way he's candidly documented his decision to learn to read as an adult, and his struggles and triumphs along the way. Here, he tells the full story behind his journey for the first time through the 21 key books that shaped and informed his experience. His story reveals the ways in which reading can teach each of us how to be better, more empathetic people. In just 365 days, Oliver went from barely being able to read a restaurant menu to closing in on his goal of finishing 100 books in a year.

In the years that followed, as crushingpoverty and racial tensions in the city worsened, some of the monksvoted to leave--and St. Benedict's Prep, the school they had run for over a century, was forced to close its doors. [This book presents] the story of the monks who voted to stay put, who would soon reopen St. Benedict's and devote their lives to educating the students who had become their neighbors. But it's also the inspiring story of its students--many of whom have experienced tremendous tragedy and trauma--who show up every day and form the beating heart of the school, which is now widely considered one of the most successful inner-city educational movements in the country"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4294581</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4294581</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[DePalma, Anthony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4294581105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>Hardship and Hope at the Toughest Prep School in America</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780063464391/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1569082312</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Cradle of Citizenship]]></title><description><![CDATA["A sharp critique of our failure to teach civics effectively and a roadmap to a better way. Schools make citizens. Yet the typical American student is stunningly ignorant of history and government: In 2022, the National Assessment of Educational Progress found that only 20 percent scored a "proficient" level in civics. In The Cradle of Citizenship, James Traub chronicles a year of observing public schools across the country, mapping the polarized pedagogical landscape that fails to teach in-depth civics knowledge-of the Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the country's founding, and more. Traub examines the history of civic education, the debates between partisans of the 1619 Project and 1776 Report, and the state of Florida's "war on 'woke.'" He also finds sources of hope, both in new attempts to bridge the ideological divide and in more traditional forms of instruction that emphasize knowledge and promote deep engagement with works of history and literature. The Cradle of Citizenship combines a withering critique of conventional schooling with a vision of civics education as it should be"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4302730</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4302730</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Traub, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4302730105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>How Schools Can Help Save Our Democracy</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324079514/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=1519448606</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[University]]></title><description><![CDATA["In this thrilling work, Lee C. Bollinger, the most important university leader of our time, argues that the university is an institution vital to the maintenance of democracy-and thus it is no surprise that it is coming under fierce attack from an authoritarian administration. Drawing on his years as president of the University of Michigan and then Columbia University, as well as his expertise on the First Amendment, Bollinger reveals how the structure of the university contributes to the success of the American system, and why that structure is both impossible to recreate and vulnerable to outside attack. The mission of the university-to preserve and enhance knowledge-is not merely a high-minded idea, but one rooted in the First Amendment, the basis of our shared political and social life. With the press fractured and diminished, it is the university that remains the only source of truth-seeking left to those who still believe in democracy. As Bollinger ultimately demonstrates, the university must be defended if the American experiment is to continue"-- Provided by publisher.]]></description><link>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4304037</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S105C4304037</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Bollinger, Lee C.]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://delawarelibrary.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/4304037105</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Reckoning</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781324124313/MC.GIF&amp;client=clcpolaris&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=on1526004891</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[College Essay Confidence]]></title><description><![CDATA["In College Essay Confidence, college admissions and essay coach Jill Shulman offers a fresh, engaging approach to one of the most daunting parts of the college application process: the personal essay.
