Public School Equity
Educational Leadership for Justice
AvManya Whitaker

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Equality is not equity, tolerance is not inclusion, and access is not opportunity.Efforts to address inequities within our schools tend to ignore the underlying beliefs that sustain injustices, and focus instead on short-lived policies and practices. This book takes a different approach to eradicating educational disparities. Drawing on more than forty interviews with teachers, principals, and district leaders, Manya C. Whitaker offers educators guidance for leading a school or district grounded in social justice that centers teachers—not just teaching practices—and that focuses on the belief systems that shape decision-making.The chapters walk educational leaders through a strategic approach to long-term change: from school planning for family and community engagement, to hiring and onboarding teachers, to sustaining equity through multifaceted professional development and equitable evaluation. Concrete “how-to”s are provided throughout, along with reflection questions to help readers apply the content to their context. For any school or district leader intent on addressing the many inequities highlighted by the COVID-19 pandemic, this book is an essential manual.

Throughout, there are reflection questions to use as conversation-starters with fellow changemakers, as well as Rest Stops so you can pause and process what you are thinking about and learning. This book will help you start your change journey now, putting you and your students on the path to equity, justice, and healing.

We need to name whiteness, in order to move toward antiracism.For too long, white educators have relied on people of color to make change to a relentlessly racist school system. Racial equity will not come until white educators recognize their role in supporting racist policies and practices, and take responsibility for dismantling them.Learning and Teaching While White is an accessible guide to help white educators, leaders, students, and parents develop an explicit, skills-based antiracist practice. Through their own experiences working with school communities, and the strategies and tools they have developed, Jenna Chandler-Ward and Elizabeth Denevi share how white educators can gain greater consciousness of their own white racial identity; analyze the role of whiteness in their school systems; rethink pedagogical approaches and curricular topics; address the role of white parents in the pursuit of racial literacy and equity; and much more. Their book will empower white educators to be part of creating a more equitable educational system for all students.
Ableism in Education
Rethinking School Practices and Policies
AvGillian Parekh
Häftad, Engelska, 2023

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
How we organize children by ability in schools is often rooted in ableism.Ability is so central to schooling—where we explicitly and continuously shape, assess, measure, and report on students’ abilities—that ability-based decisions often appear logical and natural. However, how schools respond to ability results in very real, lifelong social and economic consequences. Special education and academic streaming (or tracking) are two of the most prominent ability-based strategies public schools use to organize student learning. Both have had a long and complicated relationship with gender, race, and class.In this down-to-earth guide, Dr. Gillian Parekh unpacks the realities of how ability and disability play out within schooling, including insights from students, teachers, and administrators about the barriers faced by students on the basis of ability. From the challenges with ability testing to gifted programs to the disability rights movement, Parekh shows how ableism is inextricably linked to other forms of bias. Her book is a powerful tool for educators committed to justice-seeking practices in schools.
Equity-Centered Trauma-Informed Education
AvAlex Shevrin Venet
Häftad, Engelska, 2023

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Educators must both respond to the impact of trauma, and prevent trauma at school.Trauma-informed initiatives tend to focus on the challenging behaviors of students and ascribe them to circumstances that students are facing outside of school. This approach ignores the reality that inequity itself causes trauma, and that schools often heighten inequities when implementing trauma-informed practices that are not based in educational equity.In this fresh look at trauma-informed practice, Alex Shevrin Venet urges educators to shift equity to the center as they consider policies and professional development. Using a framework of six principles for equity-centered trauma-informed education, Venet offers practical action steps that teachers and school leaders can take from any starting point, using the resources and influence at their disposal to make shifts in practice, pedagogy, and policy. Overthrowing inequitable systems is a process, not an overnight change. But transformation is possible when educators work together, and teachers can do more than they realize from within their own classrooms.

An equity-conscious, culturally sustaining approach to literacy education.Every student comes to the classroom with unique funds of knowledge in addition to unique needs. How can teachers celebrate and draw upon the valuable literacies each child already possesses to engage them more effectively in school literacy practices?In Literacy for All, Shawna Coppola shows how a literacy pedagogy founded on anti-oppressive principles can transform the experiences of teachers and students alike. Using her framework, which highlights the social and cultural aspects of literacy, teachers can help students participate in literacy experiences that illuminate their individual strengths.Coppola’s book, an ideal introduction for equity-conscious literacy educators, shows how to design instructional and assessment practices that reflect both the cognitive processes and the social practices inherent in learning to read and write.
Teaching Asian America in Elementary Classrooms

Asian American voices and experiences are largely absent from elementary curricula.Asian Americans are an extraordinarily diverse group of people, yet are often viewed through stereotypical lenses: as Chinese or Japanese only, as recent immigrants who do not speak English, as exotic foreigners, or as a “model minority” who do well in school. This fundamental misperception of who Asian Americans are begins with young learners―often from what they learn, or do not learn, in school.This book sets out to amend the superficial treatment of Asian American histories in U.S. textbooks and curriculum by providing elementary teachers with a more nuanced, thematically driven account. In chapters focusing on the complexity of Asian American identity, major moments in Asian immigration, war and displacement, issues of citizenship, and Asian American activism, the authors include suggestions across content areas for guided class discussions, ideas for broader units, and recommendations for children’s literature as well as primary sources.

Skickas inom 10-15 vardagar
Anti-Oppressive Universal Design for Teachers: Building Equitable Classrooms provides a student-centered, culturally responsive blueprint for building sustainable and just educational practices. Marginalized students face complex educational barriers, and undoing educational injustice requires intentional practices designed to be explicitly anti-oppressive. Yet schools continue to adopt trendy “one size fits all” practices that benefit only some. This is not equity.Author Diana Ma presents a framework that takes the principles of equity and humanizing pedagogy from anti-oppressive theories and the principles of multiplicity and flexible design from Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Together, these principles form a framework designed to dismantle specific systemic oppression. The Anti-Oppressive Universal Design framework is designed for educators who want to build practices that work for all students.The book’s flexible design tools will help teachers create anti-oppressive and equitable education that frees students to be their full authentic selves in the classroom. In addition, there are classroom strategies and stories to show how this model benefits both students and teachers, providing sustainable alternatives to prescriptive practices.

When teachers and leaders implement an identity-conscious practice, they can provide a more responsive and responsible learning environment. Unfortunately, avoiding the impact of identity can create problematic and oppressive conditions in schools. So how do we lead with an identity-conscious lens? Award-winning author Liza Talusan provides real-world scenarios that educators can work through to apply an identity-conscious practice. Talusan helps educators grapple with three key questions: 1) How do I build knowledge about scenarios that involve identity? 2) How do my own thoughts, attitudes, behaviors, and beliefs contribute to inequitable conditions? 3) What actions can I implement in my classroom/meeting spaces to align with principles of equity and justice? Readers explore these questions through case studies on race, class/socioeconomic status, religion/faith, disability, sexual orientation, gender, language, and age. With the book's numerous real-world examples, Talusan makes the concept of an identity-conscious practice more tangible, so you feel ready and empowered to implement it day-to-day in your own practice.

The Social and Emotional Core of Equity Leadership: A Guide for Driving Change in Schools is a practical guide for educational leaders committed to creating inclusive schools where all students feel a sense of belonging. Challenging traditional approaches to social and emotional learning (SEL), this book argues that adult SEL must be rooted in equity and justice, not compliance or neutrality.Through vivid case studies, research-informed frameworks, and a structured reflection tool, readers explore how inner work (like identity reflection, emotional self-awareness, and bias interruption) must fuel outer work (like policy change, community engagement, and institutional redress). Organized around five core SEL domains, the book offers concrete strategies for making equity actionable, particularly in moments of resistance, controversy, or discomfort.Written for principals, district leaders, and school leadership teams, this book is ideal for those navigating real-world pressures while striving to lead with clarity and conscience. Whether you're rethinking discipline systems, addressing bias in dress codes, or responding to exclusion that flies under the radar, this book helps you lead more skilfully and justly.

With stories, dichos, and time-tested strategies, Babino and Almanza invite readers to name the pain of the herida abierta—the open wound of educational harms—and respond with care that re-humanizes and re-tools both students and their teachers. They offer actionable strategies you can try in your own classroom and in community connected to Latines' voices and experiences so often sidelined in educational theory and practice.Educators, teacher educators, and scholars alike will benefit from this book’s tender witness, personal testimony, and pedagogical tools.

The authors argue that school counselors, who are regularly tasked with teaching students to assimilate to schooling with a hyper-focus on individual grit and decontextualized self-management skills, often use various methods of control, emphasized without question within the profession. This book provides an orientation to abolitionist school counseling and draws from lessons the authors have learned from school counselors practicing abolition across K-12 levels. Chapters cover the current state of policing and the school-to-prison nexus, surveillance, harm reduction, community care, mutual aid, liberatory futures, and more. Abolition in School Counseling invites school counselors to probe the impossible and find ways to build liberation in schools today.
