Total Quality Management (TQM) is a set of concepts, tools and applications which has been so successful in manufacturing industry that we are now witnessing experimentation in the transference of Total Quality Management to the public sector provision of government, health and education in North America, Europe and elsewhere. TQM is starting to set a new paradigm for management approaches in the public sector and "not for profit" enterprises. All key public service managers should at least need to know the basics of TQM, its possibilities and limitations for the public sector, and particularly the types of applications which could work for them. For all public sector managers this book provides: a clear understanding of the key concepts of TQM; a critical understanding of their relevance to the public sector; empirical evidence of TQM applications in government, health and education; and exploration of the public sector TQM possibilitites yet to be realized. It draws throughout on case examples from Britain, Canada, the USA and continental Europe which illustrate the application of TQM to the public sector.

Moving beyond conventional change management literature, this book invites current and aspiring school leaders to apply the interdisciplinary tools of futures studies and strategic foresight to their work.Given our shared global challenges, young people deserve schools that are agile, adaptive, and responsive to many possible futures. Driven by the imperatives of equity and inclusion, the authors provide practical, evidence-informed strategies, real-world examples, and use cases of futures thinking applied to school staff development and change strategies. Each chapter engages with key educational realities: differentiating instructional planning and assessment, the impacts of artificial intelligence and other technologies, the growing psycho-social issues young people are facing, and more.Informed by years of international collaboration with forward-thinking school leaders and scholars, this book is both a field guide and a call to action for navigating the influence of the future on our present moment and the challenges and promises shaping school life today.

AI Unplugged: The Hype and Hope in Education Futures addresses a comprehensive range of challenging and potential-rich scenarios for the integration of generative artificial intelligence into curriculum, instruction and assessment in schools. It does so from a critical perspective, seeing teaching and learning as an intensely human activity. AI can help but not replace the work that skilled, professional teachers do.Many school professionals are concerned about the impact that AI tools will have on academic integrity, job security, teacher-student relationships, algorithmic bias, digital privacy and beyond, particularly as young learners become proficient in free-to-use tools and other AI resources. This book provides graduate students, teaching faculty and scholars of teacher education, as well as school and district leadership, with accessible background information, practical use cases and change management approaches pertaining to generative AI. Teacher unions will also gain insight into what their peers are doing regarding AI and the profession.School professionals in training will come away with a substantive, evidence-based means of discovering and integrating AI in ways that accommodate common uncertainties and greater preparation to manage risks and lead change.

Eileen Couture, a gifted linguist from Oxford, is recruited in 1956 to teach English to the daughters of Dieter and Ingrid Schrogelmann, a rising STASI family in East Berlin. Her assignment is framed as benign cultural influence, but she quickly realizes she is being used as a legitimizing presence inside a household under increasing internal scrutiny. The girls Karin and Monika are bright, curious, and eager to learn. Eileen becomes deeply attached to them. But as political tensions rise within the GDR, the children are quietly repurposed by the state: pressured to recall conversations, observe adults, and report linguistic details they barely understand. Their intelligence makes them valuable. Their innocence makes them vulnerable. When internal power struggles intensify, the girls are subjected to escalating memory rehearsals. Karin collapses under pressure, suffering psychological damage that leaves her unable to speak. Monika resists and experiences a neurological breakdown. One is institutionalized; the other becomes a silent, trembling shadow of herself. Eileen is removed from the household and extracted from Berlin. Her MI6 handler, John Adderley, dismisses the girls as unfortunate collateral. Decades later, Eileen s daughter Emily, now an academic specializing in ethics, uncovers her mother s notebooks and the traces of what happened in Berlin. When Adderley dies...

What does it take to be courageous? Can courage be taught? Can courage be developed over time? These questions are the starting point for this book. It explores what courage is and what it takes to be courageous. It examines how courage shows itself in the creative arts, politics, and the community. It also explores what gets in the way of being courageous. It leverages knowledge from psychology, philosophy, and the study of leadership and Indigenous ways of knowing. The key to the book is the 7Cs of courage and the ladder of courage – practical ways to develop the skills of being courageous. Full of examples and resources, the book follows the 2017 book Beyond Resilience – From Mastery to Mystery: A Workbook for Personal Mastery and Transformational Change (written with Sarajane Aris) and builds on some of the key ideas explored in this earlier work.

Teacher research in Canada: Although the job might be hard the quest is worth it. It is about teacher power. We trust teachers and we believe they have powerful knowledge, insight, and experience that should be shared widely-and we mean to attempt that sharing. We are a community, bound by an ethos: we care about children and we want to help them learn. We also believe that teacher research is important and that not enough of it is done. We hope to correct that poverty. Our work is based upon three beliefs about research: 1) the WHAT is important-we need to seek and create knowledge and that knowledge should be based upon our best inquiry; 2) the SO WHAT is important. We are a community of critical action. We need to consider how what we learn SHOULD be applied; & 3) the NOW WHAT is important. We have to actually engage children in the best ways we know how, with the best of what we have learned. This is what The Canadian Journal for Teacher Research is all about. Our goal is to transform teaching in Canada.
