Download or read book Leadership for Inclusive Education written by G. Mac Ruairc and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-02-11 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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 their contributions more explicitly within discourses that draw on difference and diversity as unavoidable features of schools. Within this collection we address the current political dogmas in many countries that take a purely rational, managerial approach to leadership, arguing that this is not contributing to inclusion in schools. In doing this, the book seeks to shape current discourses on leadership by exploring perspectives which are likely to enhance our understanding of inclusion. Tolerance, respect, listening, clarifying language, being comfortable with differences and ambiguity and articulating and challenging the rationale behind “the way we do things around here” are key aspects of inclusive leadership, and also fundamental imperatives for writing this book. It will be useful to those in education who are engaged in further academic study in education or in reflective practice and to anyone taking advanced programmes in educational leadership and management. The international perspectives on the issue of inclusion informing this book ensure that this book will be essential for those engaged in a comparative analysis of leadership practice in different contexts or those concerned with the complexity of ensuring inclusive models of education.
Download or read book Instilling Diversity and Social Inclusion Practices in Teacher Education and Curriculum Development written by Alegre de la Rosa, Olga María and published by IGI Global. This book was released on 2022-06-30 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has recently been a societal push to better achieve equity for all, with many bringing to light the bias, racism, and discrimination that many factions face on a daily basis. Naturally, integrating diversity and social inclusion thoughts into the classroom is one of the best ways to start changing the mindset of society and promoting more inclusive practices in the next generations. Therefore, diversity and social inclusion have become common approaches in the planning and management of primary, secondary, and higher education schools in many international contexts. However, there are certainly challenges that must be overcome in developing these new practices and their implementation within teacher curriculum. Instilling Diversity and Social Inclusion Practices in Teacher Education and Curriculum Development provides an analysis of educational inclusion practices and identifies university students voices on diversity and social inclusion. It further assesses teacher performance in an international online training context and promotes a model of curriculum development on diversity and social inclusion. Covering topics such as culturally competent teachers, student academic achievement, and attitudes towards diversity, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for teacher educators, pre-service teachers, administrators and educators of both K-12 and higher education, social workers, researchers, and academicians.
Download or read book Direcci n y liderazgo de los centros educativos written by Joaquín Gairín Sallán and published by Narcea Ediciones. This book was released on 2024-05-08 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: El consenso amplio que se da a nivel internacional sobre la importancia de la dirección en el rendimiento de los alumnos y en la mejora escolar es, actualmente, algo incontestable y avalado por diferentes estudios. No obstante, el debate sobre el modelo de dirección deseable en contextos educativos determinados y sus relaciones con el liderazgo que le debe acompañar son aún temas pendientes de decisiones políticas y profesionales sin resolver. El presente texto organiza y presenta los avances que sobre el tema se han ido desarrollando hasta llegar a modelos de dirección distribuida con líderes transformadores, centrados en los procesos de aprendizaje, y capaces de promover centros educativos más eficientes, inclusivos, seguros, saludades, sostenibles, y personal y socialmente útiles. A la reflexión y análisis sobre la naturaleza y sentido de la función directiva y del liderazgo que le debe acompañar, se añaden varios capítulos que tratan del desarrollo profesional de estos responsables, revisando aspectos de la formación inicial y permanente, de las transiciones que les afectan y de su trabajo en red. También se consideran aspectos diferenciales como puedan ser los específicos de la práctica directiva en entornos vulnerables, en centros de formación profesional y en contextos rurales. La obra, dirigida especialmente a directivos, estudiosos e investigadores, asesores, profesorado y responsables de los sistemas educativos, busca así difundir el conocimiento existente, proporcionando los marcos teóricos y prácticos que pueden apoyar su intervención en los centros educativos. Pero, más allá de la formalización y desarrollo realizados, lo interesante de esta aportación radica en los dos mensajes que transmite. A nivel implícito, la reivindicación sobre la necesidad de mantener e impulsar modelos de estudio sobre los directivos líderes que superen el mero análisis estructural y avancen en la descripción y conocimiento de las complejas dinámicas humanas sobre las que actúan. A nivel explícito, nos ayuda a conocer fortalezas y debilidades de las propuestas que, relacionadas con la función directiva y el liderazgo, existen, aportando nuevas visiones y formas de entender y analizar su actividad.

Download or read book Educational Markets and Segregation written by Vincent Dupriez and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-18 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited volume highlights the deep issues of the educational markets and school segregation from its origins to its effects. The book discusses both global trends as well as focalized examples. It’s based on a comprehensive review of existing literature and an in-depth analysis of two educational systems: The French-speaking community in Belgium and Chile. Both contexts are characterized by a high degree of segregation, a structural environment of free choice of schools and competition between public and private schools financed with public resources. This book provides an up-to-date synthesis of scientific knowledge on the issue of segregation and rigorous analyses of recent policies aimed at reducing segregation in educational systems. It highlights the complexity of a process of change, the importance of its legitimacy among the population and the need of identifying the ethical and social justice issues surrounding school segregation. By providing a solid theoretical and empirical synthesis, this book is a great resource to students, researchers and academics in education, as well as social scientists and policy-makers.
