Education Reform in Florida
In Education Reform in Florida, sociologists and historians evaluate Governor Jeb Bush's nation-leading school reform policies since 1999. They examine the startlingly broad range of education policy changes enacted in Florida during Bush's first term, including moves toward privatization with a voucher system, more government control of public education institutions with centralized accountability mechanisms, and a "superboard" for all public education. The contributors arrive at a mixed conclusion regarding Bush's first-term education policies: while he deserves credit for holding students to higher standards, his policies have, unfortunately, pushed for equality in a very narrow way. The contributors remain skeptical about seeing significant and sweeping improvement in how well Florida schools work for all students.
Learning to Teach
A select group of diverse teacher educators come together to share how their combined experiences as PK-12 students, PK-12 teachers, and teacher educators impact their perception of education and ways to teach and learn. The authors of this edited collection impart their individual stories and discuss how such experiences influenced their own teaching practices. Additionally, the authors share their perceptions of effective teaching practices that positively impact culturally diverse, multilingual learners. A focus on social justice, equity and inclusion is included. This compilation of stories greatly contributes to the literature and the practice of teaching as it presents the voices and views of teacher educators who share their PK-12 educational experiences through the lens of critical pedagogists and researchers.
Envisioning Critical Race Praxis in Higher Education Through Counter-Storytelling
While critical race theory is a framework employed by activists and scholars within and outside the confines of education, there are limited resources for leadership practitioners that provide insight into critical race theory and the possibilities of implementing a critical race praxis approach to leadership. With a continued top?down approach to educational policy and practice, it is imperative that higher education leaders understand how critical race theory and praxis can assist them in utilizing their agency and roles as leaders to identify and challenge institutional and systemic racism and other forms/manifestations of oppression (Stovall, 2004). In the tradition of critical race theo...
And They Were Wonderful Teachers
And They Were Wonderful Teachers: Florida's Purge of Gay and Lesbian Teachers is a history of state oppression of gay and lesbian citizens during the Cold War and the dynamic set of responses it ignited. Focusing on Florida's purge of gay and lesbian teachers from 1956 to 1965, this study explores how the Florida Legislative Investigation Committee, commonly known as the Johns Committee, investigated and discharged dozens of teachers on the basis of sexuality. Karen L. Graves details how teachers were targeted, interrogated, and stripped of their professional credentials, and she examines the extent to which these teachers resisted the invasion of their personal lives. She contrasts the expe...
