They encompass what we do and do not teach-what content and approaches we either choose or are mandated to choose, or leave out or are mandated to leave out. Curriculum entails the overall educational experience of schooling, while pedagogy is the art and craft of teaching-or the translation of curriculum into student knowledge and growth. Hence, curriculum and pedagogy are sociocultural phenomena that impact and are impacted by context (e.g., students, community, colleagues, geography, etc.).     Once upon a time, curriculum and pedagogy were the spaces in which educators could exercise creativity and exploration, reflecting the individual needs of their students and communities. However, as political structures shifted and the standards movement took hold in the late 20th century, freedoms around curriculum and pedagogy began to fade with increased oversight over and standardization of \"best practices\" with greater emphasis placed on performance and efficiency. Pedagogical practices were soon framed around producing results (test scores, graduation rates, measurable learning objectives derived from prescribed state standards), while curriculum became a prescribed structure formatted to reflect state standards with an eye toward test performance. Curriculum and pedagogy were further impeded by hegemonic forces calling for censorship of teaching and curriculum, such as the ban on Ethnic Studies in Tucson, Arizona, and continued attacks on Critical Race Theory nationwide. Further, curriculum became a tool for concealing and\/or silencing the experiences and voices of our diverse students, educators, and communities. The results of these phenomena are teachers feeling uninspired and deprofessionalized and students feeling devalued and unheard-especially marginalized students.     Since curriculum and pedagogy directly impact the experiences of teachers and students, they must be transformed. However, how do we do that within today's tenuous PreK-12 environment? How do we transform curriculum and pedagogy so that they reflect, liberate, and ensure justice for students and educators in preschools, elementary schools, middle schools, high schools and the content areas taught within them? Moving from Traditional to Transformative Curriculum and Pedagogy addresses these challenges by providing clear and direct guidance for current and aspiring educators committed to transforming the status quo in their classrooms and schools.     Innovative and creative methodologies and practices that aspiring and practicing educators can use right away are the primary focus of this book. Because the editors and contributors are former or current PreK-12 practitioners and\/or education scholars, this book is written for a broad educational audience. The editors and contributors provide preservice and practicing teachers entry points for transforming the educational landscape in favor of liberatory, transformative practices in PreK-12 schools across grade levels, content areas, school types, and geographic regions. Additionally, this book is ideal for teacher preparation programs as well as PreK-12 professional development, as this book guides readers through theoretical and empirical discussions, supported by hands-on applications that enable real-time application, and concludes with interactive features, like case studies, extension activities, and discussion prompts.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MYERS EDUCATION PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47076621746228,"sku":"9781975506865","price":99.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781975506865.jpg?v=1782650407"},{"product_id":"9798895570548","title":"Segregation and School Funding","description":"\u003cp\u003eAn expert examination of district-level segregation and wealth gaps shapes an original, ambitious policy agenda to end K-12 funding inequity and create a truly fair public school system  More than seventy years after Brown v. Board of Education promised equal educational opportunities for students of color, US public schools remain stubbornly segregated, with large gaps persisting in the adequacy of K-12 funding by race and income. In Segregation and School Funding, Matthew Di Carlo and Bruce D. Baker reveal the cycle that keeps resource-starved schools at a perpetual disadvantage and show how to break it.  By pulling back the curtain on the disparate financial situation of schools within metro areas through an original analysis of district cost data nationwide, Di Carlo and Baker show that schools in higher-poverty, disproportionately Black and Hispanic districts must spend more than their lower-poverty, whiter counterparts to achieve the same outcomes. This segregation-fueled disconnect between what districts need and what they actually get perpetuates unequal student outcomes, which reinforce segregation and inequality, within and even between generations.  The good news is that much of the policy infrastructure to disrupt this cycle is already in place. Through a targeted mix of educational and K-12 financial policy reforms at the state and federal level, Di Carlo and Baker argue that we already have the means to dismantle once and for all the self-reinforcing mechanisms that perpetuate a racially discriminatory status quo. Their agenda brings long-struggling schools closer to resource equity and creates an education system where all students-no matter whether they are white or Black, rich or poor-receive the education they deserve.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HARVARD EDUCATION PRESS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47093428846644,"sku":"9798895570548","price":78.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9798895570548.jpg?v=1782649989"},{"product_id":"9781785837814","title":"Quiet Leadership","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a culture that celebrates loud, charismatic or dominant leaders, introverts are often told they don't fit the mould for successful head teachers.

An antidote to the current climate of charismatic, hero leaders who push ideas through despite the consequences, this book demonstrates how great results can be achieved through quiet, thoughtful and considered leadership. With honesty and practical insight, Andrew offers strategies for making strong appointments, driving effective school improvement and boosting pupil outcomes - all while leading in a way that feels authentic and sustainable for introverts.Whether you're an aspiring leader unsure whether your quiet, thoughtful nature is 'enough' for the role, or already in post and looking to lead in a way that feels authentic, this book is a supportive and inspiring guide to embracing your unique strengths as an introvert.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CROWN HOUSE PUBLISHING","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47164013641780,"sku":"9781785837814","price":60.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0651\/9390\/2132\/files\/9781785837814.jpg?v=1782944136"},{"product_id":"9781975508807","title":"Decoloniality and African Education","description":"\u003cp\u003eDecoloniality and African Education: Contested Issues and Challenges is a vibrant and vital collection of essays that addresses the challenges, possibilities, and responsibilities for the future of de- and anti-colonial African education. Decolonization has become a buzz word of late, so the term is used in this context with a certain trepidation. But the themes of this book go beyond mere rhetoric by creating specific approaches to dismantling colonial educational systems in African and to create a new environment for African education duly informed by local cultural resource knowing, known from grounded everyday practices of authentic African educators. In other words, a revision of educational practices informed by what educators know and are doing for the lessons in envisioning schooling and education in Africa. In this endeavor, while we seek lessons and partnerships with others, African educators are urged to think through solutions specific to the problems and challenges in schools today, and meet the call of our times to provide education to young learners that not only empowers them, but also provides them with background knowledge, cultural grounding, and specific lessons that will enable them to craft their own futures. So how do we \"do\" decolonial education from the standpoint of African educators and learners everyday schooling practice and knowledge? Decoloniality and African Education argues that a careful embrace of African Indigenous and cultural knowings determine the successful response to this question. It engages both the \"decolonial\" and the \"anti-colonial,\" with a reading that the \"decolonial\" (as many have pointed out, see Parry, 1994) is a process and a path toward an end, which is the goal of the \"anti-colonial\" (see Dei, 2022).   Decoloniality and African Education is essential reading for students and scholars committed to the improvement of educational outcomes for African American students.

Beyond Accreditation: Designing and Implementing Meaningful Quality Assurance and Continuous Improvement Systems presents an alternative paradigm for consideration: the primary purpose of assessment systems should be to provide program improvement, with the resulting data serving as supporting evidence for compliance-oriented requests. The book is intended to provide a foundation of background knowledge to empower programs, regardless of size or disciplinary context, to engage in the processes associated with assessment in pursuit of continuous improvement. It supplies data and other information in three distinct ways throughout the book. In some chapters, candid dialogues between the authors are presented in a conversational tone. In others, a more philosophical and sometimes historical perspective provides background knowledge informing why certain things are done and the purposes those activities serve. The remaining chapters present a practical approach to engaging in assessment, from identifying signature assessments to analyzing and reporting on data, all within the overarching context of designing an assessment system that serves continuous improvement efforts.   The accountability mindset that has taken hold in education, and in higher education in particular, has fostered a view of assessment as a complicated, challenging, and burdensome enterprise that is done to us in pursuit of compliance. Throughout the book, assessment is presented as something to be done in pursuit of continuous improvement.

However, skipping the study of Special Education Law would be quite detrimental to the anticipated and actual experience not only of principals, but also of many other central office administrators, and especially Superintendents. Mistakes in Special Education Law not only lead to shortchanging students and failing to meet their needs, but the same mistakes can be quite costly to school districts in lawsuits, sanctions, and personnel issues.

For each case study, the book follows the Issue, Rule, Application, and Conclusion (IRAC) format:    \t\tClearly identify the ISSUE associated with the case. What did the school do? What are the parents alleging? What are the parents asking for? \t  \t\tDetermine the relevant RULE: what part of special education law most impacts this case? Who else is involved in the case? Is it clear cut for either side? \t  \t\tANALYSIS or APPLICATION: as an outside observer, what did the school do right? Do the parents have an actionable case? Did it go to hearing? Was due process involved? Were advocates involved? \t  \t\tCONCLUSION: was a settlement arrived at through mediation? If not, what was the next step? Did the parents hire an attorney?

In From Upheaval to Action, Arthur Levine and Scott Van Pelt offer a vital update on the shifting landscape of American higher education. Building on the insights of their bestselling book The Great Upheaval, this on-the-ground account of how institutions are responding to today's profound changes encapsulates two years of in-depth observation and conversation. Based on visits to more than sixty institutions and organizations-including colleges, state systems, accrediting bodies, and foundations-the authors provide an unflinching portrait of a sector navigating a complex, high-stakes transformation.   Colleges and universities are confronting the combined pressures of demographic realignment, economic strain, and technological disruption. They face challenges not only in attracting and retaining students, but also in remaining relevant in a world reshaped by automation, artificial intelligence, and the accelerating demands of a global knowledge economy. This book chronicles the successes and missteps of institutional responses while tracking new developments that have surged to the forefront, including the rise of alternative credentials, the redefinition of college affordability, renewed scrutiny of DEI initiatives, and growing political tensions around academic freedom and public trust.   From Upheaval to Action identifies areas of experimentation and change, spotlighting the creativity and resilience emerging within the sector. It examines what is being tried, what is proving effective, and what remains uncertain, offering essential insights into how today's decisions are shaping the colleges and universities of tomorrow.
