This book reveals the roots of structural racism that limit social mobility and equality within Britain for Black and ethnicised students and academics in its inherently white Higher Education ...institutions. It brings together both established and emerging scholars in the fields of Race and Education to explore what institutional racism in British Higher Education looks like in colour-blind 'post-race' times, when racism is deemed to be 'off the political agenda'. Keeping pace with our rapidly changing global universities, this edited collection asks difficult and challenging questions, including why black academics leave the system; why the curriculum is still white; how elite universities reproduce race privilege; and how Black, Muslim and Gypsy traveller students are disadvantaged and excluded. The book also discusses why British racial equality legislation has failed to address racism, and explores what the Black student movement is doing about this. As the authors powerfully argue, it is only by dismantling the invisible architecture of post-colonial white privilege that the 21st century struggle for a truly decolonised academy can begin. This collection will be essential reading for students and academics working in the fields of Education, Sociology, and Race.
Este estudio describe y analiza el lugar que el cuerpo, el movimiento y la Educación Física (EF) ocupan en las prescripciones curriculares de Educación Infantil (EI) en la ciudad de Vitória, ...centrándose en sus interfaces con las discusiones académicas que se debaten actualmente. Metodológicamente, es una investigación documental y tiene como fuente los documentos: A Educação Infantil do Município de Vitória: um outro olhar (2006) e Diretrizes Curriculares Educação Infantil de Vitória/ES (2020). Los resultados encontrados permiten afirmar que las perspectivas de trabajo con el cuerpo y el movimiento de los niños y las niñas representan un avance en el debate sobre el papel de la EF en la EI. Considerando que, además de reconocer el lenguaje corporal como uno de los lenguajes imprescindibles para trabajar con niños y niñas, se alinean con las concepciones actuales de educación infantil y primera infancia. Además se constituyen en propuestas elaboradas junto a los docentes de Educación Infantil.
Abstract: This study describes and analyzes the place that body, movement and physical education occupy in the curriculum prescriptions for Early Childhood Education in the city of Vitória, focusing their interfaces with the discussions that take place in the academic level of the debate. Methodologically, it carries out a documentary research and has as source the documents: A Educação Infantil do Município de Vitória: um outro olhar (2006) e Diretrizes Curriculares Educação Infantil de Vitória/ES (2020). The results found allow us to state that the perspectives of working with the children's body and movement in the analyzed documents represent an advance in the debate on the role of Physical Education in Early Childhood Education. Considering that, in addition to recognizing body language as one of the essential languages for working with children, and aligning the current conceptions of childhood and early childhood education, they constitute proposals elaborated in co-authorship with the teachers of the Child education.

Police officers, armed security guards, surveillance cameras, and metal detectors are common features of the disturbing new landscape at many of today's high schools. You will also find new and ...harsher disciplinary practices: zero-tolerance policies, random searches with drug-sniffing dogs, and mandatory suspensions, expulsions, and arrests, despite the fact that school crime and violence have been decreasing nationally for the past two decades. While most educators, students, and parents accept these harsh policing and punishment strategies based on the assumption that they keep children safe, Aaron Kupchik argues that we need to think more carefully about how we protect and punish students.In Homeroom Security, Kupchik shows that these policies lead schools to prioritize the rules instead of students, so that students' real problems - often the very reasons for their misbehavior - get ignored. Based on years of impressive field research, Kupchik demonstrates that the policies we have zealously adopted in schools across the country are the opposite of the strategies that are known to successfully reduce student misbehavior and violence. As a result, contemporary school discipline is often unhelpful, and can be hurtful to students in ways likely to make schools more violent places. Furthermore, those students who are most at-risk of problems in schools and dropping out are the ones who are most affected by these counterproductive policies. Our schools and our students can and should be safe, and Homeroom Security offers real strategies for making them so.
Inklusion ist ein mehrdeutiger sozialer, politischer und pädagogischer Begriff, der von einer Vielzahl an Disziplinen zunehmend auch als analytische Kategorie gefasst wird. Die Beiträger*innen ...erweitern diesen theoretisierenden Zugang und setzen dabei den Fokus auf das Verhältnis von Inklusion und Grenzen. Aus interdisziplinärer Perspektive zeigen sie, dass Grenzen und Grenzziehungen nicht nur dem Gegenstand Inklusion immanent sind, sondern Inklusion selbst die Logiken und Grenzen disziplinärer Diskurse verschiebt - was einen neuen Blick auf politische Partizipationsfragen, wechselseitige Zu- und Anerkennungsverhältnisse und pädagogische Imperative zulässt.

This open access edited volume is a comparative effort to discern the short-term educational impact of the covid-19 pandemic on students, teachers and systems in Brazil, Chile, Finland, Japan, ...Mexico, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, the United Kingdom and the United States. One of the first academic comparative studies of the educational impact of the pandemic, the book explains how the interruption of in person instruction and the variable efficacy of alternative forms of education caused learning loss and disengagement with learning, especially for disadvantaged students. Other direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic diminished the ability of families to support children and youth in their education. For students, as well as for teachers and school staff, these included the economic shocks experienced by families, in some cases leading to food insecurity and in many more causing stress and anxiety and impacting mental health. Opportunity to learn was also diminished by the shocks and trauma experienced by those with a close relative infected by the virus, and by the constrains on learning resulting from students having to learn at home, where the demands of schoolwork had to be negotiated with other family necessities, often sharing limited space. Furthermore, the prolonged stress caused by the uncertainty over the resolution of the pandemic and resulting from the knowledge that anyone could be infected and potentially lose their lives, created a traumatic context for many that undermined the necessary focus and dedication to schoolwork. These individual effects were reinforced by community effects, particularly for students and teachers living in communities where the multifaceted negative impacts resulting from the pandemic were pervasive. This is an open access book.
Resumo: O objetivo deste artigo é analisar a fórmula editorial da Revista Escolar (1925-1927), financiada pela Diretoria Geral de Instrução Pública de São Paulo, para compreender os deslocamentos do ...modelo de leitura e de formação debitária da reconfiguração dos debates educacionais, na década de 1920, empreendidos pela e na comunidade imaginada dos educadores paulistas. Conclui-se que a Revista fazia circular divergências sobre a política educacional e convergências sobre a política sanitária em São Paulo.
Over the last 20 years, international attempts to raise educational standards and improve opportunities for all children have accelerated and proliferated. This has generated a state of constant ...change and an unrelenting flood of initiatives, changes and reforms that need to be "implemented" by schools. In response to this, a great deal of attention has been given to evaluating "how well" policies are realised in practice--implemented! Less attention has been paid to understanding how schools actually deal with these multiple, and sometimes contradictory, policy demands; creatively working to interpret policy texts and translate these into practices, in real material conditions and varying resources--how they are enacted! Based on a long-term qualitative study of four "ordinary" secondary schools, and working on the interface of theory with data, this book explores how schools enact, rather than implement, policy. It focuses on: (1) contexts of "policy work" in schools; (2) teachers as policy subjects; (3) teachers as policy actors; (4) policy texts, artefacts and events; and (5) standards, behaviour and learning policies. This book offers an original and very grounded analysis of how schools and teachers do policy. It will be of interest to undergraduate and postgraduate students of education, education policy and social policy, as well as school leaders, in the UK and beyond.
