Eine Streitschrift über die Missstände der Schulpolitik von der Stimme einer empörten Generation. Deutschlands ehemaliger oberster Schülersprecher Dario Schramm ist einer der schärfsten und profiliertesten Kritiker der Schulpolitik seit dem ersten Lockdown und klagt an: Wie kann es sein, dass Kinder und Jugendliche nicht nach ihren Bedürfnissen gefragt werden? Warum werden sie wenn überhaupt nur als allerletzte mitgedacht? Und wieso wird die Lufthansa mit einem Milliarden-Paket gerettet, während es an Schulen immer noch mit Luftfiltern und schnellem Internet hapert?

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 40 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.

As a field, education has largely failed to learn from experience. Time after time, promising education reforms fall short of their goals and are abandoned as other promising ideas take their place. In Learning to Improve, the authors argue for a new approach. Rather than "implementing fast and learning slow," they believe educators should adopt a more rigorous approach to improvement that allows the field to "learn fast to implement well.

Our nation’s moment of reckoning with the deficit view of multilingual learners has arrived. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exposed and exacerbated long-standing inequities that stand in the way of MLs’ access to effective instruction. Recent events have also caused us to reflect on our place as educators within the intersection of race and language.

Since Brown v. Board of Education in 1954 Americans have viewed school integration as a central tenet of the Black civil rights movement. Yet, school integration was not the only - or even always the dominant - civil rights strategy. At times, African Americans also fought for separate, Black-controlled schools dedicated to racial uplift and community empowerment.

Un ensayo que analiza el modo en que el exceso de legislación y el aumento de la burocracia han degradado el papel de los docentes y la calidad de la enseñanza secundaria en España. ¿Han servido ocho leyes generales de Educación para conseguir un sistema inclusivo y de calidad? ¿O, por el contrario, LOGSE, LOE, LOMCE o la reciente LOMLOE han contribuido a consolidar un modelo político populista y neoliberal en nuestro país? ¿Cómo afecta a la calidad educativa la ideología del cambio disruptivo continuo, que practican tanto gabinetes de izquierda como de derecha?

The safeguarding and child protection challenges in education have never been more complex, nor the legal duties on schools and colleges more stringent. The criminal and sexual exploitation of children, FGM, radicalization, and online safety are sadly all now part of the remit, as are self-harm and mental health issues. And these safeguarding challenges are found not only in urban communities but also in leafy suburbs and rural idylls throughout.

Refugee High is a riveting chronicle of the 2017-18 school year at Sullivan High, a time when anti-immigrant rhetoric was at its height in the White House. Even as we follow teachers and administrators grappling with the everyday challenges facing many urban schools, we witness the complicated circumstances and unique education needs of refugee and immigrant children: Alejandro may be deported just days before he is scheduled to graduate; Shahina narrowly escapes an arranged marriage; and Esengo is shot at the beginning of the school year.

Even with a high school diploma or bachelor’s degree, you may still be uneducated in the most important aspects of your life...Do you have this burning and unquenchable feeling that, even with all your years of being taught how to live and what to think and do, you still don’t actually know much about the things you need to know about? The truth is, the education system of our westernised economic and political sphere doesn’t prepare us for the real challenges of life - it simply guides us into becoming a “successful” employee.

Do teachers have a front-row seat to America’s decline? Jeremy S. Adams, a teacher at both the high school and college levels, thinks so. Adams has spent decades trying to instill wisdom, ambition, and a love of learning in his students. And yet, as he notes, when teachers get together, they often share an arresting conclusion: Something has gone terribly wrong. Something essential is missing in our young people. Their curiosity seems stunted, their reason undeveloped, their values uninformed, their knowledge lacking, and, most worrying of all, their humanity diminished.

Educational equity is more than an image. It is more than being able to watch a baseball game while standing on boxes. To frame it as such oversimplifies the complexities associated with this term.

O polêmico movimento Escola sem Partido começou em 2003 como uma organização informal preocupada com “a contaminação político-ideológica das escolas” e o “abuso da liberdade de ensinar”. O movimento cresceu, ganhou adeptos incondicionais e adversários ferrenhos. Porém, mais importante do que evocar adjetivos apaixonados é ampliar o debate sobre a ética profissional docente: o que professores podem e devem fazer na sala de aula?

It also lays out a positive case for the things that do work.

Wo früher auf den Schulhöfen der Pausengong fröhlich klingelte, schrillen heute die Alarmglocken: Die Bildungsrepublik Deutschland steht kurz vor dem Offenbarungseid. Seit PISA haben wir es schwarz auf weiß: Der Finne, der Chinese und sogar der Este (oder heißt es Estländer?) haben uns abgehängt. Mit anderen Worten: Uns bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit, sonst wird ohne uns globalisiert! In blindem Aktionismus schießen vermeintliche Bildungsexperten plötzlich aus allen Rohren: G8, Bologna, Bachelor und Master! Bämm! Kurzes Innehalten beim Nachladen: Turbo-Abi oder Bummelstudent?
