Download or read book Excellence Through Equity written by Alan M. Blankstein and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2016-02-26 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excellence Through Equity is an inspiring look at how real-world educators are creating schools where all students are able to thrive. In these schools, educators understand that equity is not about treating all children the same. They are deeply committed to ensuring that each student receives what he or she individually needs to develop their full potential and succeed. To help educators with what can at times be a difficult and challenging journey, Blankstein and Noguera frame the book with five guiding principles of Courageous Leadership: Getting to your core Making organizational meaning Ensuring constancy and consistency of purpose Facing the facts and your fears Building sustainable relationships. They further emphasize that the practices are grounded in three important areas of research that are too often disregarded: (1) child development, (2) neuroscience, and (3) environmental influences on child development and learning. You'll hear from Carol Corbett Burris, Michael Fullan, Marcus J. Newsome, Paul Reville, Susan Szachowicz, and other bold practitioners and visionary thinkers who share compelling and actionable ideas, strategies, and experiences for closing the achievement gap in your classrooms and school. Ensuring that all students receive an education that cultivates their talents and potential is in all our common interest. As Andy Hargreaves writes in the coda: "The opportunity for all Americans is to articulate and believe in an inspiring vision of educational change that is about what the next generation of America and Americans should become, not about a target or ranking that the nation should attain." From the Foreword by Archbishop Desmond Tutu: "Letting go of a system of winners and losers in favor of what is proposed in this book is a courageous leap forward that we all must take together. Let this bold, practical book be a guide; and may you travel into this new exciting vista, in which every child can succeed."

Download or read book God Grades and Graduation written by Ilana M. Horwitz and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2022 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "It's widely acknowledged that American parents from different class backgrounds take different approaches to raising their children. Upper and middle-class parents invest considerable time facilitating their children's activities, while working class and poor families take a more hands-off approach. These different strategies influence how children approach school. But missing from the discussion is the fact that millions of parents on both sides of the class divide are raising their children to listen to God. What impact does a religious upbringing have on their academic trajectories? Drawing on 10 years of survey data with over 3,000 teenagers and over 200 interviews, God, Grades, and Graduation (GGG) offers a revealing and at times surprising account of how teenagers' religious upbringing influences their educational pathways from high school to college. GGG introduces readers to a childrearing logic that cuts across social class groups and accounts for Americans' deep relationship with God: religious restraint. This book takes us inside the lives of these teenagers to discover why they achieve higher grades than their peers, why they are more likely to graduate from college, and why boys from lower middle-class families particularly benefit from religious restraint. But readers also learn how for middle-upper class kids--and for girls especially--religious restraint recalibrates their academic ambitions after graduation, leading them to question the value of attending a selective college despite their stellar grades in high school. By illuminating the far-reaching effects of the childrearing logic of religious restraint, GGG offers a compelling new narrative about the role of religion in academic outcomes and educational inequality"--

Download or read book Principles of Academic Excellence written by Greg Erhabor and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing from my experience both as a Christian leader and a lecturer over the years, the issue of how to combine one's Christian activities with one's academic pursuits has been a very thorny one. On one extreme, are those who believe that they are in school to study, have good grades and that the best way to testify their Christian faith is by being the best and graduating with honors and giving little or no time to the nourishment of their spiritual life. The former group of students devotes most of their time to studying with minimum time for spiritual activities or extra-curricular work. While there may be merit in this position, it ends up with the student being academically strong but spiritually weak, lacking spiritual qualities to meet with the challenges of life. On the other extreme are those who spend most of their time in various Christian activities and fellowship programmes to the point that they neglect their studies. The latter group of students soon finds out that their disposition mars their testimonies, puts them in confrontation with their parents and guardians and may lead to depression and in some cases backsliding from the faith. This book aims to bring balance between these two extremes. It helps the student to get a balance between his Christian activities and his commitment to his academic pursuits. I have often said that there is no dichotomy between the spiritual and the secular. Our devotion to God should make us possess extra-ordinary wisdom and knowledge beyond our contemporaries. Daniel 1:17, 20 reads, "As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom, and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams... And in all matters of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them he found them ten times better than all the magicians and astrologers that were in all his realm." In this book, I offer practical steps and suggestions on how every student can maintain excellence both in his studies and in the pursuit of his faith. I wish I had these ideas over two decades ago when I was in school. However, I believe that this book will be widely circulated among students at all levels and it will bring up a generation that will be worthy of emulation in all aspects of life.
