Tecemos o livro Colonialidade e resistências no contexto do tenso processo de mudanças políticas, econômicas, sociais, culturais e étnico-raciais que vivemos no Brasil em 2013-2018, pressionados por setores políticos aderentes a interesses antipopulares do capital multinacional. Como pós-graduandos em Educação da Unirio, entrelaçamos nossas pesquisas para entender as respostas e as propostas urdidas pelas múltiplas lutas que nos atravessam. Como um "tear", tramamos teias de resistência, pela união, por respeito, partilha e construção coletiva. Deparamo-nos com as nossas experiências e nos demos as mãos. Por meio de re-des-encontros, de entrecruzamento de ideias, criamos tess...
"[...] O leitor, a leitora, terá a oportunidade de interagir com pesquisadoras e pesquisadores comprometidos com as lutas populares, na busca de aprender a decolonizar a educação, ou seja, a viver, conviver e gerar vida em plenitude". Ivanilde Apoluceno de Oliveira "[...] em uma época de isolamento, distâncias e temor, frente a uma crise tão desafiadora para a educação popular e seus instrumentos fundamentais (encontros, participação, organização, manifestações públicas etc.) o caminho colaborativo, proposto e sabiamente conduzido pelo professor Reinaldo Fleuri, permitiu a coautores e coautoras alimentar, fortalecer e ampliar relações pensantes e reciprocamente formativas". Mariateresa Muraca "A obra, ora publicada, expressa um pouco do tanto acumulado em debates, diálogos, seminários e investigações conjuntas, com artigos escritos em coautoria – metodologia dialógica de produção do conhecimento e de escrita acadêmica consolidada nesta articulação com a Rede Mover". João Colares da Mota Neto
This book moves forward the agenda significantly. It enables educational leadership and management discourse to be informed by the latest views that are becoming well established in business and organisational literature in practice.
This book takes the idea of distributing leadership in schools to a new level of understanding and practice. The authors address the complexities of leadership by putting forward two essential propositions. The first is the need to understand leadership as the outcome both of people’s intentions and the complex flow of interactions in the daily life of schools. The second is the need to integrate values of social justice and democracy into our understanding of leadership. Building on this insight, the authors show how leadership can be truly collaborative. The book also combines practice, theory and research and draws on the authors’ international experience. This book is an invaluable resource for reflection and change for everyone who contributes to and studies leadership – senior leaders, teachers, support staff, students and researchers.
This book returns us to some fundamental questions about the purpose of schools, the nature of learning and the qualities of leadership which make schools authentic places of learning.
Inclusion is increasingly becoming one of the policy drivers shaping educational discourse and practice. What constitutes the term “inclusion” itself and how ideas derived from the different perspectives on inclusion impact school leadership practice point to a highly contested field of enquiry. Originally embedded in discourse relating to special education, ideas relating to inclusion are attracting much broader appeal within system reforms in many jurisdictions. This book seeks to keep the consideration of inclusion firmly in its broader context and to decouple it from the discourse relating to students with special educational/additional needs. This allows the authors to position thei...
Alma Harris The ?eld of school leadership is currently preoccupied with the idea of distributed leadership. Few ideas, it seems, have provoked as much attention, debate and c- troversy. Whatever your position on distributed leadership, and you cannot fail to have one, it is irrefutable that distributed leadership has become the leadership idea of the moment. Yet, it is an idea that can be traced back as far as the mid 20s and possibly earlier. So why the interest? Part of the answer can be found in a move away from theorizing and empirical enquiry focused on the single leader. This shift has undoubtedly been fuelled by structural changes, within schools and across school systems that have re...
Pupil consultation can lead to a transformation of teacher-pupil relationships, to significant improvements in teachers' practices, and to pupils having a new sense of themselves as members of a community of learners. In England, pupil involvement is at the heart of current government education policy and is a key dimension of both citizenship education and personalised learning. Drawing on research carried out as part of the Teaching and Learning Research Programme, Improving Learning through Consulting Pupils discusses the potential of consultation as a strategy for signalling a more partnership-oriented relationship in teaching and learning. It also examines the challenges of introducing ...
This book is based on the largest and most extensive empirical study of contemporary leadership in primary and secondary schools in England. The results demonstrate that heads of successful schools improve the quality of student learning and achievement through who they are – their values, virtues, dispositions and competencies – as well as their timely use of change and improvement strategies. Successful School Leadership provides a comprehensive analysis of the values and qualities of head teachers. It assesses the strategies they use and how they adapt these to their particular school context in order to ensure positive increases in the learning, well being and achievement of their st...
