Book excerpt: The role of the rural education leader is complex and demanding, but the rewards of serving in a rural school district are innumerable. Learn how to work through challenges and maximize success in this often overlooked and underresourced field. In the United States, the umbrella term "rural education" applies to diverse place-based contexts ranging from remote mountain communities to midwestern agricultural areas to southwestern mesas and beyond. One thing these varied environments have in common is the need for creative, solutions-oriented leadership. In The Resilient Rural Educator, award-winning superintendent Melissa A. Sadorf draws on her extensive experience teaching and leading in a rural school district in Arizona to identify issues unique to rural education and explore ways to capitalize on local resources to provide the best possible education for all students. Topics Sadorf investigates in depth include the following: • Juggling multiple district roles while maintaining efficiency and effectiveness • Recruiting and retaining staff, teachers, and administrators in a rural area • Connecting students and families with needed services and resources • Solving the challenges of limited access to utilities such as broadband internet • Navigating the role of the rural school as the hub of the community • Managing community partnerships for mutually beneficial results Rural school districts serve approximately one in five students across the United States—students who deserve an equitable education. The insightful, innovative, and comprehensive strategies found in this book will help you and your district deliver that education to them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The social and professional lives of rural Alaskan school teachers are unique. They live in an isolated environment and interact with students and community members from the position of a member of a 'sub-cultural', or better, of a "co-cultural" group member. This work examines the recruitment and training practices of rural Alaskan school districts with regard to teachers from the Lower 48, the expectancies constructed by and for teachers in these practices, and how violations of these expectancies affect teacher's social and professional lives in rural Alaskan villages. Qualitative conversational interviews were conducted with 3 administrators currently working in rural Alaskan districts, and 5 teachers who came to teach in rural Alaska from the Lower 48. A thematic analysis produced 13 emergent themes. Several communicative strategies typical of co-cultural group members (Orbe, 1998) were identified, indicating the participants' positions as members of a co-cultural group. A critical comparison of the way in which teachers and administrators affected one another's experiences in rural Alaska revealed that during recruitment sessions both administrators and teachers enacted the position of members of the dominant U.S. culture. However, during the first training sessions for new teachers, administrators shifted their position to co-cultural members. Working within the dominant Alaskan Native culture the administrators worked to prepare teachers for their new societal position as a member of a co-cultural group in rural Alaska"--Leaf iii.

Book excerpt: At a time when social, cultural and linguistic diversity has become a characteristic of education systems around the world, this timely text considers how teacher education is responding to these developments in the context of increased mobilities within and across national boundaries. This collection draws together the work of scholars, from a range of urban, rural and national contexts from the Global South and North, who engage in dialogue about diversity and knowledge exchange. It includes perspectives from multiple contexts using a range of frameworks that cohere around attention to issues of equity and social justice, and focuses on the macro level dynamics (policy, theory, global governance) as well as meso (institutional practices) and micro dimensions (professional identities, cultural, and identity transformation). The authors explore these dynamics and dimensions through mobilities of teachers and students, cosmopolitan theory, indigenous epistemologies, language ecology, professional standards policy discourses, and critical analyses of frameworks including postcolonialism, multiculturalism and culturally responsive and relevant pedagogical approaches.

Download or read book Design and the Built Environment of the Arctic written by Leena Cho and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-12-22 with total page 319 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design and the Built Environment of the Arctic is a concise introductory guide to the design and planning of the built environments in the Arctic region. As the global forces of change are becoming more pronounced in the Arctic, the future trajectories for living environments, city-making processes, and their adaptive capacities need to be addressed directly. This book presents 11 new and original contributions from both leading and emerging scholars and practitioners, positioning the Arctic as a dynamic, diverse, and lived place at the nexus of unprecedented socioenvironmental transformations. The volume offers key concepts for understanding and spatializing Arctic cities and landscapes; similarities and differences in the development of design and planning approaches responsive to specific climatic and cultural conditions; and historical and geographic case studies that provide unique perspectives for the management of the built environment, from the scales of a building and infrastructure to cities and territories. Altogether, the contributions expand regional Arctic design scholarship to understand how the variability of the Arctic context influences the designed urban, architecture, and landscape systems, and offer numerous lessons for design and other forms of spatial practice both within and beyond the Arctic. This is a unique resource for researchers, creative practitioners, policymakers, and community decision-makers, as well as for advanced undergraduate and graduate students.
