Against John Ogbu’s oppositional culture theory and Claude Steele’s disidentification hypothesis, Jesus and the Streets offers a more appropriate structural Marxian hermeneutical framework for contextualizing, conceptualizing, and evaluating the locus of causality for the black male/female intra-racial gender academic achievement gap in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. Positing that in general the origins of the black/white academic achievement gap in both countries is grounded in what Paul C. Mocombe refers to as a “mismatch of linguistic structure and social class function.” Within this structural Marxist theoretical framework the intra-racial gender academic achievement gap between black boys and girls, the authors argue, is a result of the social class functions associated with industries (mode of production) and ideological apparatuses, i.e., prisons, the urban street life, athletics and entertainment, where the majority of urban black males in the US and UK achieve their status, social mobility, and economic gain, and the black church/education where black females in both countries are overwhelmingly more likely to achieve their status, social mobility, and drive for economic gain via education and professionalization.

This book explores a range of issues related to minority educational leaders' role in their society, in particular those working in a divided society under conflict.The political and cultural challenges faced by minorities in divided societies raise the specific and important need to study leadership from a new perspective, based on the leaders' role in their society and community, and on their role in leveraging their school toward integration in their society while staying aligned with environmental changes.The authors present a new theoretical framework of "leadership for society" with practical implications for effective leadership in complex societies. The book also develops our understanding of minority education in the reality of conflicts between the state and the minority's identity. The authors believe that school leaders’ participation in the extended community will improve and affect the development of schools and enable leaders to negotiate cultural, social and political complexities.

This book traces the policymaking processes of the Review of Funding for Schooling (2011), which fundamentally changed school funding policy in Australia. School funding is a key element of any equitable school system. This is because the distribution of government funding for schooling leads to significant differences in the educational opportunities available for individual students, schools, and communities. The book shows that although education policy is often thought about as an abstract process, it is a series of small critical moments that create the policy and progress implementation towards or away from equity in school funding. Sinclair offers a new theory for understanding and then impacting in real-time the policymaking process towards equity in school funding, the “critical moments theory”. In doing so, he identifies where education leaders, teachers, policymakers, scholars, and community members all have the agency to influence policy from conceptualisation to implementation.

Sophisticated Racism: Understanding and Managing the Complexity of Everyday Racism adopts a fresh approach to the study of racism. Victoria Showunmi and Carol Tomlin identify the prevalence of sophisticated racism and explore how it manifests itself in society, particularly in the workplace. The authors narrate examples of everyday racism from the lived experiences of Black women. They take the reader on a compelling journey from the sources of racism through narratives of disquieting racist events to the destination of affirming approaches to preserving a sense of self and individual identity in the face of sophisticated racism. The authors explain how the interplay between Black women and White women originates in historical patterns of behavior which emerged on the plantations during enslavement. The term ‘White women syndrome’ has been coined to represent attempts to defend the limited space for female success by denigrating and excluding Black women. A unique feature of the book is that it reaches beyond the historical context to the provision of strategies for managing sophisticated and everyday racism in contemporary society.

Teachers have faced serious public critique regarding their effectiveness and professionalism in classrooms. At every level, their work is often measured solely against student achievement outcomes, often on standardized tests (Darling-Hammond & Youngs, 2002; Ravitch, 2010). Unfortunately, students who are coming from culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse backgrounds are often occupying the bottom rungs regarding academic achievement (Ladson-Billings, 1995; Milner,2010; Hucks, 2014). What are the obstacles and challenges teachers and students face in their respective school settings and how do they grapple with and overcome them? Finally, what do these teachers and students know that motivates and informs their work? The scholars in this volume will take up these questions and share the findings of their research in the field of leadership, teacher education, and achievement.These concerns are not limited to the geographic boundaries of the United States of America. Engaging purposeful teaching is an imperative that concerns students, teachers, teacher educators, educational leaders, and education policy makers around the globe. There are many educators worldwide who are committed to delivering this type of teaching and promoting learning that is engaged and active. The four sections of the book capture the work of educators in teaching in diverse global settings such as the Australia, United Kingdom, Jamaica, Turkey, and across America. As diverse populations of students enter American classrooms, it is important for their teachers to have relatable examples of purposeful teaching that are culturally responsive and culturally relevant.

This volume takes up intersectionality and whiteness as perspectives through which to engage and understand leadership. The chapters draw from research and theory, as well as the authors’ own personal backgrounds and experiences to illustrate the complexity of leadership as a concept and the nuances of the development of leaders’ own individual leadership identities and perspectives. Presenting theoretically and empirically informed conversations that engage both scholarship and real-life issues in the sphere of leadership, authors address important issues for advancing research and practice in international contexts, including Australia, Botswana, Canada, South Africa, Pakistan, Netherlands, UK, and USA. Chapters evaluate the dominant models, conceptions, and perspectives of leadership as part of advocating alternative models of leadership which acknowledge the multiplicity of permutations of diversity of genders and ethnicities across the world. By so doing, authors consider how their work might lead to social change. It will be of interest to researchers, educators, and students in Gender Studies, Business, and Management, as well as community and corporate leaders.

This handbook reflects and represents the established and expanding knowledge base in the field of educational change as embodied in publishing outlets like Springer’s Journal of Educational Change, the AERA Educational Change Special Interest Group, The AERA Teacher and Teacher Education Division, the British Educational Leadership and Management Association, and the International Congress of School Effectiveness and Improvement. The work captures the changing and more inclusive and critical nature of the field. This involves responding to calls for traditionally marginalised and minoritized groups, regions and issues to be centred and uplifted in the field and in practice.The Handbook includes classic, contemporary, and cutting-edge contributions to the field of educational change. It offers rigorous scholarly work written in a style that is accessible to researchers, academics, educational leaders, and policymakers who are drawn to evidence-based and theoretically informed approaches. Contents are inclusive in authorship and focus, representative of different fields such as leadership, policy, curriculum, pedagogy, equity, and diversity, inclusive of diverse and sometimes competing perspectives, and attentive to international range and scope of contribution.This is a time when there is turnover of generations in the field of educational change, with many of the founders now having passed away or holding senior Emeritus status. It is a time of emerging scholarship among mid-career academics and evolving research among new generations of graduate students that call for familiarity with established canons of educational change, and a growing field of intellectual, cultural, and global diversity. This Third handbook is written at this generational tipping point in the academic field, at a time when global knowledge and understanding of educational change is more accessible and abundant, and in a moment of great controversy regarding future directions of educational change in relation to a rapidly changing world.
