Sorting Out the Self-Esteem Controversy.
Beane, James A.
Educational Leadership, v49 n1 p25-30 Sep 1991
Educators should stop seeing self-esteem only in individualistic terms and move toward an integrated view of self and social relations. To enhance self-esteem, schools must value authentic participation, collaborative action, a problem-centered curriculum, and interdependent diversity and banish tracking, autocratic procedures, unicultural curriculum, and competition.
