Offers a set of bold, new ideas for dramatically raising the achievement of students with mild to moderate disabilities and students experiencing serious academic, social and emotional, and behavioural difficulties. This book is both a call to action and a critical guide for administrators looking to close the achievement gap.

Nor are these standards untainted by political considerations.

Explores the leadership, policies, and practices that support contemporary school integration.

In an effort to ensure future success for career pathways (CP), a strategy to ensure college and career readiness skills, Stephen Hamilton examines the School-to-Work movement of the 1980s and 1990s and explores how the lessons learned from that campaign's demise can pave the way for a CP program that endures and serves the most deserving.

Addresses how schools can help youth of colour resist the negative effects of racial injustice and challenge its root causes. Scott Seider and Daren Graves draw on a four-year longitudinal study examining how five different mission-driven urban high schools foster critical consciousness among their students.

Offers an incisive guide to practitioner-led qualitative research. The authors make the case for ""local knowledge generation"" - inquiry-based, school-level research that can contextualize quantitative data, enrich insight, and guide leaders in making more effective decisions leading to sustainable organizational change.

Drawing on decades of research, policy, and practice, Jennifer O'Day and Marshall Smith show how strategies for pursuing educational quality and equal outcomes for all students can be linked, presenting an ambitious idea of the future of American education and a comprehensive theory of change for enacting that vision.

Outlines a powerful argument about the importance of the school as an organisation in nurturing high quality teaching. Based on case studies conducted in fourteen high-poverty, urban schools, the book examines why some schools failed to make progress, while others achieved remarkable results.

Offers a paradigm shift in how we think about family engagement with schools. Soo Hong challenges the conventional depiction of parents and teachers as "natural enemies", and shows how, through teachers' initiative and commitment, they can become natural allies instead.

Examines how language and culture matter for effective science teaching. Bryan Brown argues that, given the realities of our multilingual and multicultural society, teachers must truly understand how issues of culture intersect with the fundamental principles of learning.

The authors argue for an expansion of community-school partnerships in order to provide integrated student supports from cradle to careers, including wraparound services like mental health, and early childhood education, enrichment programs, and family supports.

Shows what is possible when schools and districts draw upon the talents of their counselors and put them at the centre of students' school experience. Mandy Savitz-Romer offers a strategic approach to school counselling that enables educational leaders to draw on existing staff to create supportive contexts and programs for students.

Offers a richly detailed study of public Montessori schools, which make up the largest group of progressive schools in the public sector. As public Montessori schools expand rapidly as alternatives to traditional public schools, the story of these schools, Mira Debs points out, is a microcosm of the broader conflicts around public school choice.

Distrust characterizes much of the current political discourse in the United States today. It shapes our feelings about teachers, schools, and policies. Katherine Schultz argues that distrust - and the failure to recognise and address it - significantly contributes to the failure of policies meant to improve educational systems.

Today teachers must prioritize problem-solving ability, adaptability, critical thinking, and the development of interpersonal and collaborative skills over the passive transmission of knowledge. This book examines what this means for teacher preparation and showcases programs that are educating for deeper learning, equity, and social justice.

Drawing on a detailed study of elections in five districts (Bridgeport, Connecticut, Denver, Indianapolis, Los Angeles, and New Orleans), the authors explore what happens when national issues percolate downward into local politics.
