Описание:
Today’s colleges and universities are facing mounting criticism from both internal and external interest groups and constituencies. While strident calls for reform accelerate, resources for higher education have weakened. Thus, demands to improve college education abound amidst hard times. This timely book, Making College Better: Views from the Top, offers more rational and practical responses to that public outcry by allowing college presidents and chancellors from a wide variety of postsecondary institutions the opportunity to address, in measured ways, many complex issues and how they might be untangled. Moreover, these academic leaders provide possible remedies to make college better through more strategic policies and practices.
Making College Better will appeal to all those interested in the future of higher education, including students, college administrators and other higher education personnel, parents, legislators and other officials, and public and private sector leaders. It is especially useful for courses in the organization and administration of higher education, the college presidency, contemporary issues in higher education, foundations of higher education, higher education and society, and college student development.

Описание:
Discover how a group of mostly Black parents, working with an energetic principal and dedicated staff, helped build a sought-after, multiracial school in Brooklyn's rapidly gentrifying Bedford-Stuyvesant—a neighborhood where parents have long been dissatisfied with most of their local public schools. Under the leadership of PTA President Keesha Wright Sheppard and Principal Jeremy Daniel, the parents and staff at Brighter Choice Community School confront myriad problems both within the school and outside of the school's control. Challenges include the legacy of decades of housing discrimination, redlining, and disinvestment in Brooklyn; the high rates of homelessness and asthma that make it so hard for children to succeed; and a global pandemic that disproportionately hit people of color. The roots of educational inequality are deep, and not easily overcome without tackling racial and income inequality in our society as a whole. Yet, as this book demonstrates, parents are not powerless. This is the inspirational story of how parents overcame the past and created an equitable school within an unequal city.
Book Features:
Follows a multiracial group of parents, working with an effective principal and staff, as they begin to bridge the deep divides of race and class.
Shows why school integration is so difficult to achieve, even in integrated neighborhoods, because of the weight of historical inequalities and mistrust between groups.
Incorporates social science research to show the impact of school and neighborhood conditions on academic achievement.
Argues that socioeconomic integration offers the best hope for improving schools, but only if school leaders take care not to marginalize children from low-income families.
Draws on interviews with parents and staff, school visits and observations, newspaper articles, scholarly books, and policy reports on school segregation.

Описание: Pushing forward research on emerging literacies and theoretical orientations, this book follows students from different tracks of high school English in a "failing" U.S. public school through their first two years in universities, colleges, and jobs. Analytical and methodological tools from new literacy and mobility studies are employed to investigate relations among patterns of movement and literacy practices across educational institutions, neighborhoods, cultures, and national borders. By following research participants’ trajectories in and across scenes of literacy in school, college, home, online, in transit, and elsewhere, the work illustrates how students help constitute and connect one scene of literacy with others in their daily lives; how their mobile literacies produce, maintain, and disrupt social relations and identities with respect to race, gender, class, language, and nationality; and how they draw upon multiple literacies and linguistic resources to accommodate, resist, and transform dominant discourses.

Описание: There is no shortage of innovations on offer for schools. Hardly a week passes without someone marching out the latest device, app, service, curricular add-on, or instructional technique that, we are told, is sure to cure the perennial woes of systemic education. This book is an investigation of this enchantment with "innovation" and its implications for not only everyday teaching and learning, but also the future of public education. Based on a study of The Innovation School—a public high school organized around makerspaces, design thinking, and personalized technology—the author challenges conventional wisdom about how educational transformation unfolds and argues that the popular understanding of innovation exacerbates inequality and undermines teacher and student autonomy. Building the Innovation School demonstrates how attending to the infrastructures of innovation leads to educational change that is driven by the interests and values of educators. Repair rather than disruption is the focus—a commitment to schools that allow all students to flourish.Book Features: Shows how specific innovations actually work over time in the everyday life of the classroom. Challenges the conventional wisdom about innovation, offering resources for breaking through the hype of current (and future) innovations-of-the-day. Offers a framework for "innovating from below," tailoring local innovations to the needs, values, and priorities of students, educators, and the community. Includes an appendix of resources for teachers and administrators interested in applying the frameworks from the book in their schools and classrooms.
