“Invite! Excite! Ignite! is a true celebration of teaching and learning, organized around 13 important principles that surround this essential work.

New Apr 2016/160 pp./PB, $31.95/5752-9
“Fogarty’s modern view of learning demands a ‘mind-shift.’ It is about the human drive to learn, to understand, to confront and resolve problems, and to make meaning. This book helps teachers build trust in, gain knowledge about, and become protectors of this human yearning. Filled with practical strategies and resources, this book can lead the way.” —Arthur L. Costa, professor emeritus, California State University, Sacramento “Robin Fogarty gets it right from the very beginning: A teacher’s role is not to serve up information but to facilitate learning. Invite! Excite! Ignite! is a deeply informed exploration of what that can look like at its best.” —David Perkins, Harvard Graduate School of Education

These seminal ideas, along with the stories that accompany them, will invite, excite, and ignite teachers from kindergarten to college.

Praise for Previous Editions! “Offers a healing vision for the future of education in pluralistic nations.” —Rethinking Schools “An indispensable resource for anyone struggling to understand the role that Whites play in multicultural education.” —Teaching Tolerance “This work clearly deserves the enthusiastic praise it receives from major multicultural thinkers such as James Banks, Sonia Nieto, and Christine Sleeter.” —Journal of Moral Education “A wake-up call for those suffering from apathy and a confirmation for those who want to continue to serve as change agents in American society.” —Journal of Negro Education “An excellent guide for anyone who wants to have a better understanding of how to lead and live in an increasingly multicultural, multiracial world.” —The Diversity Factor
REACH Center for Multicultural Education in Seattle, Washington. Foreword by Sonia Nieto
“This Third Edition deepens the critically conscious framework it provides to support the development of especially White, middle-class teachers becoming highly effective, culturally relevant, and responsive educators to all students. It also conveys the need for teacher education to recruit and retain highly race-conscious teachers of color.” —Christine Clark, founding Vice President for Diversity & Inclusion, University of Nevada, Las Vegas For author Gary Howard, the issues and passions that sparked the writing of the First Edition of this now classic work are as intense today as they were then. In the Third Edition, Howard reviews the progress we have made in the interim (for example, the first Black president in the White House), as well as the lack of progress (the gutting of the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the epidemic of Black youth killed by police, and the persistence of race-based educational disparities). Making a case for the “fierce urgency of now,” this new edition deepens the discussion of race and social justice in education with new and updated material. Aligned with our nation’s ever more diverse student population, it speaks to what good teachers know, what they do, and how they embrace culturally responsive teaching. This essential text is widely used in teacher preparation courses and for in-service professional development.
New for the Third Edition:
• A revised Introduction that places the book in the context of the 50th anniversary of the 1963 march on Washington. • An updated analysis of White social dominance, bringing in Critical Race Theory and reflecting on the racist reaction to the election of our first Black President. • More detail to the White Identity Orientations model, bringing in the personal life experiences of several contemporary White racial-justice activists. • A new section, “The Whiteness of School Reform,” demonstrating how White social dominance drives much of the corporate school reform movement. • A richer discussion of Culturally Responsive Teaching, drawing lessons from the author’s transformative work with school districts throughout the country. • An expanded Reflection and Discussion Guide by educators who have used the book in professional development sessions.

It is essential reading for all who agree that it is time to spark a quiet revolution of learning in which teachers and their students can truly flourish.” —Michael Schratz, president, International Congress of School Effectiveness and Improvement “When reforms in some education systems result in alienated teaching rather than improved learning, it takes a book like The Mindful Teacher to remind all that education has deeper meaning and substance than merely achieving performance indicators. This book has a very important message for all educators!” —Pak Tee Ng, National Institute of Education, Singapore

It is a work for both the newcomer and those experienced with contemplative educational orientations.” —TC Record

literacy in the Department of Teacher Education at Michigan State University, and former president of the Literacy Research Association and the International Reading Association.
Just as populations change, ideas about how to encourage and work with parents also need to evolve. This practical resource by bestselling author Patricia Edwards provides school leaders and classroom teachers with new and creative ways in which to welcome, encourage, and involve parents. Enacting these types of practices requires a special kind of commitment from teachers and school leaders, which often coincides with a particular kind of mindset about families and one’s responsibility to engage them. Educators often develop this mindset as they deepen their understanding of families, literacy/language, culture/ race/class, and themselves. Edwards pulls these understandings together and presents them in a straightforward, concise, and easy-to-use guide that is perfect for professional learning communities and teacher preparation courses. New Ways to Engage Parents is essential reading for all educators who care deeply about engaging a wide range of parents in today’s schools.
Book Features:
• A clear view of the changing community demographics and what that means for teachers and administrators. • Strategies for communicating with parents, including the use of technology. • The best times to make contact with parents. • Examples of how to bring parents together for meaningful activities. • The importance of understanding parental constraints and the need to meet them halfway. • Approaches for overcoming “school ghosts,” as well as negative histories and perceptions in the community.

“For more than 2 decades, the authors’ research has influenced practitioners and researchers alike. Now you and I can benefit from the evidence-based teacher practices they offer throughout this book. Actually, the ones who will benefit the most are the shy children who sit quietly in your classroom.” —From the Foreword by Sandee McClowry, NYU Steinhardt ”This wonderful volume is a contemporary rendering of well-informed best practices not only for responding to children we label as shy, but information that can be applied to all children. This is recommended reading for all elementary educators.” —Robert C. Pianta, University of Virginia Compared to their more sociable counterparts, shy children are at greater risk for a variety of difficulties in elementary school, including internalizing problems, difficulties with peer relationships, and poorer academic performance. Written by a developmental and an educational psychologist with decades of experience between them, this book demystifies the latest research on shyness. It offers a comprehensive and accessible guide to everything teachers should know about shy children. Topics covered include how shyness develops in childhood, the unique challenges faced by shy children at school, and general strategies and specific techniques for improving shy children’s social, emotional, and academic functioning at school. Despite an increase in research on shyness, shy children are still not well understood by teachers and other school personnel. Quiet at School offers research-based practices for creating safe and inclusive learning environments that will help shy students thrive. Book Features: • The first book about shy children specifically written for classroom teachers. • Best practices that reflect the latest research in educational and developmental psychology. • A focus on the importance of positive teacher–child relationships. • Case studies and recommendations for understanding and teaching shy children.

“This inspiring book invites us into conversations that cannot help but to make our teaching more collective, impactful, and profound.” —Kevin Kumashiro, University of San Francisco “This is a must-read book for practicing and aspiring educators interested in learning how to teach justice-oriented, critical social studies.” —Brian D. Schultz, Northeastern Illinois University This practical book shows how veteran, justiceoriented social studies teachers are responding to the Common Core State Standards, focusing on how they build curriculum, support students’ literacy skills, and prepare students to think and act critically within and beyond the classroom. In order to provide direct classroom-toclassroom insights, the authors draw on letters written by veteran teachers addressed to new teachers entering the field. Part I of the book introduces the three approaches teachers can take for teaching for social justice within the constraints of the Common Core State Standards (embracing, reframing, or resisting the standards). Part II analyzes specific approaches to teaching the Common Core, using teacher narratives to illustrate key processes. Part III demonstrates how teachers develop, support, and sustain their identities as justice-oriented educators in standards-driven classrooms. Each chapter includes exemplary lesson plans drawn from diverse grades and classrooms, and offers concrete recommendations to guide practice.

The End of Public Education?
New
Mercedes K. Schneider is a
secondary school teacher in St. Tammany Parish, Louisiana, education blogger, and speaker. Visit her blog at deutsch29. wordpress.com. Foreword by Karen GJ Lewis
Proponents of market-driven education reform view vouchers and charters as superior to local-board-run, community-based public schools. However, the author of this timely volume argues that there is no clear research supporting this view. In fact, she claims there is increasing evidence of charter mismanagement—with public funding all too often being squandered while public schools are being closed or consolidated. Tracing the origins of vouchers and charters in the United States, this book examines the push to “globally compete” with education systems in countries such as China and Finland. It documents issues important to the school choice debate, including the impoverishment of public schools to support privatized schools, the abandonment of long-held principles of public education, questionable disciplinary practices, and community disruption. School Choice: The End of Public Education? is essential reading for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the past and future of public education in America. Book Features: • Provides a comprehensive historical account of the origins of vouchers and charters. • Includes accounts of intriguing historical experiences. • Examines the defunding of neighborhood public schools in favor of often underregulated charters. • Reveals charter school “churn” that often follows the closing of a mismanaged charter. • Provides a cogent counternarrative to the claim that charters are necessary for America to compete globally. Audience: Teacher educators, school administrators, policymakers, teacher unions, and researchers; courses in history of education, social foundations of education, policy and politics of education, contemporary issues in education.

“Empirical. Well-written. Thoughtful. Provocative. This book is useful for all of us concerned about access and equity in education.” —William G. Tierney, University of Southern California “This book represents a moral and ethical call to any of us who believe in an educational pipeline for liberty, humanity, possibility, and justice for all—everyday!” —H. Richard Milner IV, University of Pittsburgh This timely book demonstrates why there needs to be a more thoughtful and collaborative effort on the part of K–12 schools, as well as institutions of higher education, to provide better college access to students from low-income communities. Building on a 10-year case study of a successful school–university partnership, the authors examine the support, mentoring, and resources needed to transform the college opportunities and life chances for underrepresented urban youth.

Negotiating National Standards in a High-Performing Bilingual School

In schools serving high concentrations of bilingual learners, it can be especially challenging for teachers to maintain commitments to equityminded instruction while meeting the demands of new educational policies, including national standards. This book details how one school integrated equity pedagogy into standardsbased curriculum and produced exemplary levels of achievement. As the authors illustrate, however, the school’s dual commitment to bilingual education and standards-based reform engendered numerous complex tensions. Specifically, the authors describe teachers’ attempts to balance demands for rigor and content coverage within their high-performing school and with their diverse student population. They identify specific tensions that emerged, concerning: • The degree of academic struggle that is generative for student learning, and the point at which such struggle becomes counterproductive. • The holding of high expectations for all learners and the provision of differentiated, student-centered learning experiences. • The CCSS emphasis on engaging students around more complex text and the contested determination of what constitutes complexity in text and in teaching. • The influence of high-stakes accountability on school norms and practices, including teachers’ interpretations and enactment of new national standards. • The performance pressures placed on teachers in today’s educational policy context. This timely book illustrates what can happen when a school’s teachers embrace equity pedagogy while navigating policy-related pressures. It offers a cogent counternarrative to traditional accounts of standards-based reform, especially for emerging bilingual students. ccss Jul 2016/224 pp. (tent.)/PB, $39.95/5784-5 HC, $84/5785-3

Foreword by Andy Hargreaves
“There are many very good ideas in this book, and there is also great wisdom. It is a book that can not only set you and your school free but also set you off in a determined direction to foster a more inclusive and inspiring place for your students and fellow educators alike.” —From the Foreword by Andy Hargreaves, Boston College “This is an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand how to address the many challenges facing our nation’s schools.” —Pedro A. Noguera, UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies ”This book strikes a chord with those who believe that emerging leadership should define the experiences of students and teachers alike.” —Deborah Walker, Collaborative for Teaching and Learning (CTL) “The authors have designed a model that is at once sustainable, distributive, ecological, and transformational.” —Dean Fink, author and consultant During the past quarter century, conceptions of leadership have evolved in concert with breakthrough discoveries in science and generative learning. Liberating Leadership Capacity captures these new ideas through the integration of the authors’ earlier works in constructivist leadership and leadership capacity. What emerges is a pathway through which educators can become the primary designers of their own learning and that of their students, thus creating sustainable systems of high leadership capacity. This vision of leadership reframes professional learning designs and knowledge creation, describing how these ideas are richly manifested in local, national, and international programs.

“Fascinating, innovative, and rigorously researched, this groundbreaking book will change how we think of the field of curriculum.” —Sonia Nieto, professor emerita, University of Massachusetts Within curriculum studies, a “master narrative” has developed into a canon that is predominantly White, male, and associated with institutions of higher education. This canon has systematically neglected communities of color, all of which were engaged in their own critical conversations about the type of education that would best benefit their children. Building upon earlier work that reviewed curriculum texts, this book serves as a much-needed correction to the glaring gaps in U.S. curriculum history. Chapters focus on the curriculum discourses of African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, and Latinos during what has been construed as the “founding” period of curriculum studies, reclaiming their historical legacy and recovering the multicultural history of educational foundations in the United States. Book Features: • Challenges the historical foundations of curriculum studies in the United States during the turn of and early decades of the 20th century. • Illuminates the curriculum conversations, struggles, and contentions of communities of color. • Highlights curriculum historically as a site at the intersection of colonization, White supremacy, and Americanization in the United States. • Brings marginalized voices from the community into the conversation around curriculum, typically dominated by university voices.

Reorienting Educational Policy and Practice
New
Keffrelyn D. Brown is an associate professor of cultural studies in education in the Department of Curriculum and Instruction at The University of Texas at Austin.
This book examines how the use of the “at-risk” category and label creates problems for students and teachers. Drawing from research across various education sites, the author illustrates how educators recognize the label’s potential to redress issues of equity, but warns that it can also stigmatize the students so labeled. Brown explores how the labeling and subsequent practices by teachers and schools actually affect students, such as classifying many individuals as deficient. The text provides a historical overview, discusses the role of federal education policy and teaching, and includes tools to help readers acquire more complex, critical understandings of risk in educational practice. After the “At-Risk” Label not only challenges the education community to reorient itself to a more equitable discourse, it provides a framework for changing the structural conditions of schooling to better serve all students. Book Features: • Offers a critical appraisal of how schools, policy, and teachers may be complicit in exacerbating conditions that lead to risk. • Shows how race and class biases might be manifested in the “at- risk” identification process. • Outlines a framework for making sense of, and acting in response to, risk that attends to both the individual and the institution. • Provides a set of key questions, terms, and a list of extended activities in each chapter. Audience: Teacher educators, teachers, school administrators, policymakers, and researchers; courses in special education, politics of education, social foundations of education, urban education, multicultural education, social justice, cultural studies.

Educators and policymakers need this book.” —Gary Orfield, co-director, The Civil Rights Project, UCLA More than 60 years after the Brown v. Board of Education decision declared segregated schooling inherently unequal, this timely book sheds light on how and why U.S. schools are experiencing increasing segregation along racial, socioeconomic, and linguistic lines. It offers policy and programmatic alternatives for advancing equity and describes the implications for students and more broadly for the nation.

Restoring Dignity in Public Schools New
Human Rights Education in Action Maria Hantzopoulos
is associate professor of education at Vassar College, where she is the coordinator of the Adolescent Education Certification Program and a participating faculty member in the programs in International Studies, Urban Studies, and Women’s Studies.
”This book provides what most of us don’t have: hope that a school based on human rights can actually exist in urban education. It will inspire grassroots activists and educators alike to envision something tangible to fight for.” —Sally Lee, executive director, Teachers Unite “The testimonies in this book remind us that schools can, in fact, be transformational communities. This is a work of head and heart, a call to reimagine schools as sites of critique and collaboration, purpose and possibility.” —Bill Bigelow, curriculum editor, Rethinking Schools For many students in urban public schools, the routines of standards-based instruction and frequent testing remove the possibilities for sustained inquiry and critical engagement in school and with the larger world. Restoring Dignity in Public Schools demonstrates how urban public schools can create thriving, authentic centers of learning. Drawing from rich narratives of human rights education (HRE) in action, the author shows how school leaders can create an environment in which a culture of dignity, respect, tolerance, and democracy flourishes. The book examines the dynamics of HRE in practice, defines its constituent elements, and explains how these components work in tandem to produce schooling that encourages young people to critically interact with the world around them and imagine different alternatives for the future. This timely book provides a viable alternative to the currently favored strategies of increased testing, privatization, and disciplinary control. Book Features: • A counternarrative to the mainstream discourses of “failing” public schools in the United States. • Policies and practices of human rights education in action, including the experiences of students and teachers. • A framework for school leaders to create a climate of dignity for marginalized students. • Ethnographic research conducted at Humanities Preparatory Academy, a public high school in New York City.

An Ethical Framework for Teaching for Social Justice
University of South East Norway and at the University of Leeds, UK, where she was founding director of the interdisciplinary Centre for Citizenship and Human Rights Education (CCHRE).
Most of the struggles for equitable schooling, including multicultural curricula and culturally responsive teaching, have largely taken place on a local or national stage, with little awareness of how international human rights standards might support these struggles. Human Rights and Schooling explores the potential of human rights frameworks to support grassroots struggles for justice and examines the impact that human rights and child rights education can make in the lives of students, including the most marginalized. The author, Audrey Osler, examines the theory, research, and practice linking human rights to education in order to broaden the concept of citizenship and social studies education. Bringing scholarship and practice together, the text uses concrete examples to illustrate the links between principles and ideals and actual efforts to realize social justice in and through education. Osler anchors her examination of human rights in the U.N Convention on the Rights of the Child, as well as the U.N. Declaration on Human Rights Education and Training. Book Features: • Supports teachers in their everyday struggles for social justice. • Contributes to theory and practice in human rights education. • Advocates for greater international solidarity and cooperation in multicultural education. • Explores how the concept of child rights can strengthen education for democracy.
A Political Economy of Global Education Reform
in sociology, all at Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Education privatization is a global phenomenon that crystallizes in countries with very different cultural, political, and economic backgrounds. In this book, the authors examine how privatization policies are being adopted and why so many countries are engaging in this type of education reform. The authors explore the contexts, key personnel, and policy initiatives that explain the worldwide advance of the private sector in education, and identify six different paths toward education privatization—as a drastic state sector reform (e.g., Chile, the U.K.), as an incremental reform (e.g., the U.S.A.), in socialdemocratic welfare states, historical publicprivate partnerships (e.g., Netherlands, Spain), de facto privatization in low-income countries, and privatization via disaster. Book Features: • The first comprehensive, in-depth investigation of the political economy of education privatization at a global scale. • An analysis of the different strategies, discourses, and agents that have contributed to advancing (and resisting) education privatization trends. • An examination of the role of private corporations, policy entrepreneurs, philanthropic organizations, thinktanks, and teacher unions.

Paul Taylor Endowed Professor and Early Childhood Program area director at New Mexico State University. Rachel Theilheimer is professor emerita of teacher education at Borough of Manhattan Community College of the City University of New York. Foreword by Beth B. Swadener
Children’s experiences when they transition from home to school, from classroom to classroom, and from school to school raise issues of continuity that permeate every aspect of early childhood education. This book uses practitioner stories to investigate beliefs about continuity and discontinuity and how these beliefs are enacted in contexts for young children from birth to age 8. The authors examine a range of continuities and discontinuities, including the experiences children, teachers, and families have with programs; the interactions between families and schools; and the ways in which programs and schools relate to one another. They also raise questions about primary caregiving, cultural responsiveness, assessment practices, and congruity between institutions. Discussions of each story include the authors’ interpretations, reference to relevant theory, questions for reflection, and implications for intentional and thoughtful practice. Book Features: • Represents the first comprehensive volume to unpack the complex topic of continuity. • Provides a critical analysis of continuity based on real stories from practitioners and parents. • Illuminates the work of early childhood educators on the individual, group, organizational, and systems levels. • Encourages readers to carefully consider their roles as educators of young children.

Foreword by Sharon Walpole
“This book is a great read, filled with raise-the-bar opportunities for teaching and learning with literature, information text, poetry, and ebooks. If you choose to teach like this, children won’t say they didn’t learn anything in school today.” —From the Foreword by Sharon Walpole, University of Delaware ”Offers exceptionally comprehensive and clear guidance about developing young children’s oral language and thinking through conversations during read alouds.” —Judith A. Schickedanz, Boston University “The teaching examples, particularly for supporting children’s thinking, will be useful for new and seasoned teachers alike!” —Tanya Christ, Oakland University How can educators and other professionals caring for children extend the learning potential of read alouds? This book is designed to help teachers, special education specialists, and speech-language pathologists achieve two objectives: 1) how to interact with children around books in ways that are instructive in nature but also responsive to children’s verbal contributions; and 2) how to use literature, informational texts, and poetry to achieve the goals of the Common Core State Standards. The authors provide specific recommendations for structuring read aloud routines in the early childhood classroom, making the read aloud interactive, using instructional strategies that enhance children’s vocabulary and content knowledge, and supporting and extending children’s verbal contributions through scaffolding during the activity. This practitioner-friendly text also includes methods for supporting children with special needs, as well as English language learners. Book Features: • Recommendations for how to choose quality books in each of the three genres— informational, literature, and poetry. • Examples and excerpts from actual read alouds to illustrate the methods. • Read aloud activities that align with the Common Core State Standards. ccss Apr 2016/168 pp./PB, $29.95/5763-5

is a Writing Project teacher consultant at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and ethnographic researcher with the Renaissance West Community Initiative. Foreword by Elyse Eidman-Aadahl
“This is a story of life at Rosa Parks Middle School as teachers, administrators, and consultants take up a school improvement project, but it is also the story of life in an urban middle school under No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and its larger operational context of generalized, bureaucratized distrust.” —From the Foreword by Elyse Eidman-Aadahl, executive director, National Writing Project At Rosa Parks, a middle school in a crimeridden neighborhood, students are advised to “do as they are told” and they will succeed. Unfortunately, “doing what they are told” often translates into repeating information given to them by the teacher, especially when it comes to writing. Meanwhile, students in an affluent neighborhood nearby are encouraged to be creative and think critically. This book examines the experience of one school’s resistance to the deficit model of education and how it represents the overall story of urban school reform. Highlighting the consequences of the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in literacy, the author weighs the perspectives of teachers, National Writing Project consultants, and administrators. Her up-close analysis illuminates how rigid accountability structures shift power away from the teachers and administrators who know the students best. As such, it illustrates the complex nature of writing instruction in urban schools. Book Features: • Provides valuable lessons learned that can be applied throughout the United States to improve urban schools. • Offers rich portraits of students and teachers who resist the deficit identities placed on them by the dominant narrative of urban school reform. • Presents a forum for those who are often silenced and talked about where they can speak for themselves.

Candace R. Kuby is assistant professor of early childhood education New at the University of Missouri. Tara Gutshall Rucker is an elementary school teacher in Columbia Public Schools, Missouri. Foreword by Jennifer Rowsell
”Documenting choices, materials, and practices, Kuby gives readers a language and conceptual framework for multimodal meaning making.” —From the Foreword by Jennifer Rowsell, Brock University “What this book does in the world will surely open up classrooms to playful ways of being with materials and one another, and to divergent ways of doing what has been called literacy teaching and learning.” —Stephanie Jones, The University of Georgia Go Be a Writer! provides an introduction to poststructural and posthumanist theories in order to imagine new possibilities for expanding literacy education. The authors put these theories to work in the context of an elementary school classroom, examining literacy-based activities that occur as students participate with materials in a multimedia writers’ studio. Focusing on literacy processes, the book emphasizes the fluid and sometimes unintentional ways multimodal artifacts come into being through intra-actions with human and nonhuman materials. Because these theories emphasize the unplanned, nonlinear aspects of literacy, the authors demonstrate an approach to literacy that works against the grain of standardization and rigid curricular models. Go Be a Writer! reveals that when educators appreciate the value of unscripted intra-actions they allow for more authentic learning. Book Features: • Allows educators to imagine news ways of thinking, teaching, and researching about texts in schools. • Embraces entangled literacy practices that involve materials, time, and space. • Demonstrates a long-term teacher/ researcher partnership, including data from four years of teaching. • Disrupts traditional forms and standards of academic texts, experimenting with new ways of writing.
