This book provides a wealth of rich cases describing how research-practice partnerships (RPPs) in K-12 schools navigate equity in the design and implementation of their projects and shares insightful recommendations for both research-side and practice-side RPP leaders engaged in this work. Chapter authors from both researcher and practitioner communities unpack real examples that illustrate how RPPs conceptualized, conducted, and shared research related to prominent equity challenges in K-12 schools. Chapters also detail specific tensions and challenges – political, methodological, relational – and how to overcome these. Presenting an equity-focused RPP framework, this important volume explores how to cultivate trusting and equitable relationships among partners, prioritize humanity and equity in the identification and articulation of a RPP project topic, center equity goals, and align methodological approaches to equity objectives. This important resource helps aspiring, new, and veteran RRP leaders initiate projects or partner with new collaborators as they develop trusting relationships within university and school settings in order to conduct impactful, equity-oriented research.The Open Access version of this book, available at http://www.taylorfrancis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Non-Commercial-No Derivative (CC-BY-NC-ND) 4.0 license.

Foundations of Education introduces the major topics and debates in contemporary American education, including teaching as a profession, school governance, social class, gender, and disabilities. The 2nd edition includes two new chapters on race and ethnicity, and immigration and language, and each of the other chapters have been thoroughly updated to respond to the latest research and events. The book introduces ways that pre-and in-service teachers can address these topics using a foundations approach, that is, to look at the problems from historical, philosophical, and sociological perspectives and bringing together relevant findings from those disciplines to analyze and illuminate educational issues. The book includes exercises, discussion questions, international case studies for comparative purposes, and is supported by a companion website with additional reading suggestions, links to relevant websites, videos, and podcasts. This is a text that responds to current developments, changes, and trends in teacher education and society more broadly, from discussion of climate change, to culturally responsive pedagogy to critical race theory. Foundations of Education will prepare a new generation of educators for a globalized and technology-driven society that needs to be aware of its best educational traditions, its current problems and its future possibilities.

This edited collection illustrates different possibilities for social justice practice in various grade levels, disciplines, and interdisciplinary spaces in P–12 education. Chapters in this unique volume demonstrate teaching with a critical lens, helping students develop critical dispositions, encouraging civic action with students, and teaching about topics inclusive of race, class, gender, and sexuality. Based on empirical research, each contribution is rooted in a critical theoretical framework and characterizes findings from sustained study of pedagogic practice, spanning subject matter from social studies, English Language Arts, music, mathematics, and science. Through this work, both pre- and in-service teachers as well as teacher educators will be inspired to practice social justice in their own classrooms.
