We build and support diverse communities of writers and audiences through the transformative power of story.

For SDG 4: Quality Education, we recommend "The Orphans of Davenport" by Marilyn Brookwood, which looks at early experiments in Iowa related to IQ in children that found nurture more important than nature and influenced years of education policy. #17Booksfor17SDGs https://t.co/KV5zKaN9ZB

Praise for this book

This concise guide examines Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4), which seeks to "ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all." It considers the goal in terms of sustainable development; mechanisms for monitoring the international education agenda to support attainment of the goal; the concepts of education, inclusivity, quality education, and education for sustainable development; the role of the conflict between Western scientific knowledge and indigenous or local knowledge; the role of teacher educators and teachers in the attainment of inclusive and quality education; the role of the curriculum in developing 21st-century skills for a sustainable society; and case studies of Latvia and Jamaica, to highlight the issues, complexities, and challenges involved in pursuing the goal.--Annotation (c)2018 "(protoview.com)"
