Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand elementary school principals’ perceptions about what teachers need to know and be able to do in the classroom in order to teach all students equitably. In addition, this study sought to understand what attitudes and belief systems are needed by teachers in order for them to effectively meet the needs of all students. More specifically the researcher sought to understand whether teachers have an awareness of the culturally relevant needs specifically for disadvantaged students. For the purpose of this study, the researcher identified disadvantaged students as students of color and students in poverty. A qualitative analysis using semi-structured interviews was conducted with the help of 10 elementary school principals located in 3 northern California school districts. The researcher used a social justice and equity lens to guide the research process. The principals shared their understanding of equitable educational practices. They also reported on the challenges that they face to keep up with state and district mandates. Finally, implications and recommendations were made regarding research, practice and educational policy.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective Professional Learning Communities are one tool schools utilize to ensure that student achievement improvement is prioritized. Professional Learning Communities help educators increase their professional knowledge and minimize conflict amongst colleagues. Additionally, teachers who regularly participate in a Professional Learning Community have students who reach higher achievement benchmarks than the students of their non-participating peers. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a statistically significant difference existed between principal perceptions and teacher perceptions of Professional Learning Communities as measured by the Professional Learning Communities Assessment—Revised. A sample of 49 principals and 53 teachers from 49 schools in California participated in the study. A series of independent t-tests were utilized to test three null hypotheses to determine if any differences in perception were evident and if participant gender had any impact on the results. It was discovered that no statistically significant perception differences existed between male principals and female principals, male teachers and female teachers, and principals and teachers, regardless of gender identity or educational role. It was concluded that principals and teachers mirror perceptions of their Professional Learning Community, regardless of gender identity. Conducting similar studies in varied geographical locations with demographic diversity and larger sample sizes is recommended to increase the breadth of knowledge of Professional Learning Communities.

Book excerpt: Jesse Jeremy Payne, Ed.D., earned his terminal degree from the University of Southern California. His research focused on the similarities and differences in perceptions of job skills for effective elementary school principals in urban areas.

Payne's work with Amen and his experience as a classroom teacher led to the creation of the “Making a Good Brain Great” curriculum. * * * Payne also has published “What I Learned from a Penguin: A Story on How to Help People Change,” which was created to help children understand their own brains and personalities. * * *Jesse Payne, Ed.D., serves as an assistant professor at Corban University's School of Education.

This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 773 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rapid growth of diversity within U.S. schooling and the heightened attention to the lack of equity in student achievement, school completion, and postsecondary attendance has made equity and diversity two of the principle issues in education, educational leadership, and educational leadership research. The Handbook of Research on Educational Leadership for Equity and Diversity is the first research-based handbook that comprehensively addresses the broad diversity in U.S. schools by race, ethnicity, culture, language, gender, disability, sexual identity, and class. The Handbook both highly values the critically important strengths and assets that diversity brings to the United States and its schools, yet at the same time candidly critiques the destructive deficit thinking, biases, and prejudices that undermine school success for many groups of students. Well-known chapter authors explore diversity and related inequities in schools and the achievement problems these issues present to school leaders. Each chapter reviews theoretical and empirical evidence of these inequities and provides research-based recommendations for practice and for future research. Celebrating the broad diversity in U.S. schools, the Handbook of Research on Educational Leadership for Equity and Diversity critiques the inequities connected to that diversity, and provides evidence-based practices to promote student success for all children.
