Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1985, the Handbook for Achieving Gender Equity Through Education quickly established itself as the essential reference work concerning gender equity in education. This new, expanded edition provides a 20-year retrospective of the field, one that has the great advantage of documenting U.S. national data on the gains and losses in the efforts to advance gender equality through policies such as Title IX, the landmark federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, equity programs and research. Key features include: Expertise – Like its predecessor, over 200 expert authors and reviewers provide accurate, consensus, research-based information on the nature of gender equity challenges and what is needed to meet them at all levels of education. Content Area Focus – The analysis of gender equity within specific curriculum areas has been expanded from 6 to 10 chapters including mathematics, science, and engineering. Global/Diversity Focus – Global gender equity is addressed in a separate chapter as well as in numerous other chapters. The expanded section on gender equity strategies for diverse populations contains seven chapters on African Americans, Latina/os, Asian and Pacific Island Americans, American Indians, gifted students, students with disabilities, and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender students. Action Oriented – All chapters contain practical recommendations for making education activities and outcomes more gender equitable. A final chapter consolidates individual chapter recommendations for educators, policymakers, and researchers to achieve gender equity in and through education. New Material – Expanded from 25 to 31 chapters, this new edition includes: *more emphasis on male gender equity and on sexuality issues; *special within population gender equity challenges (race, ability and disability, etc); *coeducation and single sex education; *increased use of rigorous research strategies such as meta-analysis showing more sex similarities and fewer sex differences and of evaluations of implementation programs; *technology and gender equity is now treated in three chapters; *women’s and gender studies; *communication skills relating to English, bilingual, and foreign language learning; and *history and implementation of Title IX and other federal and state policies. Since there is so much misleading information about gender equity and education, this Handbook will be essential for anyone who wants accurate, research-based information on controversial gender equity issues—journalists, policy makers, teachers, Title IX coordinators, equity trainers, women’s and gender study faculty, students, and parents.

Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This study explores the experiences of women educational leaders working within the public schools of rural North Georgia in the midst of a man's world. Although women have been slowly increasing in ranks over the past twenty years within the field of educational leadership, there is still a disparity in the representation of women in school leadership positions, particularly the high school principalship and the superintendency. The elusiveness of top leadership positions for women signifies a need for research that explores the experiences of women in public school leadership. Three white middle-class women educational leaders, Carla, Belinda, and I, veteran educational leaders, shared our stories of lived experiences through talks, conversations, and interviews. We critically explored concepts of self, aspects of personal experiences in the context of our work, and perceptions of our identity as educational leaders. Using critical feminism as the theoretical framework of the study, my participants and I examine the ways culturally constructed norms, beliefs, and practices "reinforces or undermines the economic, political, social, and psychological oppression of women" (Tyson, 2006, p. 84) and raise our awareness of power's complexities and its influences in determining our interactions with others. Engaging in narrative inquiry (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000; Phillion, He, & Connelly, 2005) that is personal~ passionate~ participatory (He & Phillion, 2008) creates possibilities for positive change in researchers, participants, and ultimately in society. This form of inquiry allows researchers "to connect the practical with the theoretical, and the personal with the political, through passionate participation in, and critical reflection upon inquiry and life" (He & Phillion, 2008, p. 3). The narratives presented in this study allow my participants and myself as researcher the opportunity to share and make meaning of our experiences. Our experience of working as classroom teachers inspires an unfaltering desire to do what is best for the students in our schools as we honor our commitment to making schools a better place for students in rural North Georgia. Part of the challenge for this study was to confront the resistance to challenging the Whiteness, to use critical feminism to create a space to develop critical consciousness and cultural awareness, to transgress White supremacy, and to embrace differences, contradictions, and complexities in schools, neighborhoods and communities. This study has awakened me intellectually as I continue to work as an educational leader in the midst of a man's world in the mountains of rural north Georgia. From my readings and conversations with the participants in this study I feel strongly that as school communities become more diverse, visionary educational leaders need to take to heart the concerns of teachers, students, parents, and the community and act on those concerns. Active learning and student achievement can be enhanced when educational leaders integrate experiences gained form family, work, and community involvement reflectively into their practice. Educational leaders must constantly reflect on their role and make meaning of their personal and professional experiences in order to cultivate a leadership identity. Mentoring networks for educational leaders can provide support, advice, and professional companionship as leaders reflect on their practice. To meet student needs, educational leaders must work collaboratively with teachers, parents, students, and the community to negotiate viable solutions to the problem of bureaucratic intrusion. This study carries the potential to view leadership as a possible avenue for redefining curriculum making and practices within public schools that lead to self-awareness and understanding. The curriculum in today's public schools follows state mandates and standardized test scores which have become the ultimate measure of knowledge. Although this study only provides a glimpse of the lived experiences of three women practicing leadership in the mountains of rural North Georgia, it expands "the capacity to pose new questions to the world, to reflect on what is presented in experience" (Greene, 1988, p. 21). Our experience, is "emergent and becoming increasingly multiplex, rather than being fixed and predefined, as more perspectives are taken, more texts are opened, more friendships are made" (Greene, 1988, p. 23). As Carla, Belinda, and I continue to practice educational leadership in the midst of a man's world in the mountains of rural North Georgia, our intention is to reflectively visit and re-visit our stories often in an effort to continually create and re-create our lived curriculum of leadership. I sincerely hope that our stories will find an avenue to be visited and revisited by current and aspiring administrators as they struggle to find their own leadership identities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through the Hoop To arc a jump shot through the orange rim . . . to tap in a rebound . . . putting the ball through the hoop represents a transcendent moment in basketball for player, team, and crowd. Such a moment exists in every sport. But to enjoy it, fans and athletes alike are often forced through other kinds of hoops. Sports can be violent, lonely, poetic, painful, uplifting. It can breed fitness or injury, sufficiency or dependence, pride or prejudice, friendship or hostility. When does the discipline of sport become dangerous obedience? When does self-mastery become self-aggrandizement? When does athletic activity cease to be empowering for the participants and fans to become an exercise of power over us? Answers to such questions are hard to find. Sports, unlike most topics previously addressed in special issues of Southern Exposure — labor, women, folk life, health, prisons — has never had a network of informed progressives working outside the established channels, posing critical questions, offering insightful direction for our thinking and doing. Trusted commentators and friends who know where they stand and why with regard to other central aspects of our culture shy away from giving serious thought to sport. As a result, many of us are left with personal confusions brought on by alternating experiences of frustration and fulfillment: How do we talk about a subject that on the one hand can be so easily criticized for abuses and on the other hand remains so compelling? How do we effectively criticize the sports establishment that manages ACC basketball or NFL football when we find ourselves glued to the set at playoff time?
