ENCOUNTER
Education for Meaning and Social Justice

If you are one of the many educators who feel lost or frustrated in the educational world created by NCLB, if you know that there is more, much more, to being a teacher -- or administrator -- than making sure that your students score well on high-stakes tests, you should consider taking out a subscription to ENCOUNTER: Education for Meaning and Social Justice.

ENCOUNTER is a quarterly magazine of educational research and perspective that features articles about returning balance to education by embedding teaching in a framework that enhances both students' personal growth as humane beings and cultivates in them a genuine commitment to social justice and an awareness that we are all but a part of a larger natural world -- while insisting on genuine achievement in learning and skill acquisition.

ENCOUNTER is an important counterweight to the current trend in American educational policy that denigrates whatever cannot be mass produced and objectively measured. Unfortunately, this approach all too often reduces learning solely to multiple-choice or fill-in-the-blanks knowledge. ENCOUNTER believes that genuine learning involves more than that — and it invites you to join us in an exploration of the possibilities.
