This book was released on 2018 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper addressed the topic of youth leadership enacted by students of color. Current research speaks to the potential youth leadership can have in creating systemic change and school reform. However, racism perpetuates inequities and limits the opportunities students might have in leadership development opportunities within the conventional school democratic participation system for students. In my pilot study I examined the questions (1) How do groups of low-income, students of color, enact their leadership in providing professional development to their own teachers and staff? and (2) How do youth leaders describe their motivations and development as leaders in this context? I used data from student group interviews, documents, and observations to build three emergent themes. This study helped provide an understanding of the implications that conversations examining systemic racism can have for youth and teachers.

This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This paper presents the outcomes of an Action Research project to design a Twenty-first Century youth leadership summer based program to meet the needs and realities of girls of color in the underserved community of East Oakland. The purpose of this eight-week action research project was to develop youth leadership programming, especially for African-American girls. Out of a need informed by two daughters of my own and the opportunity to apply what I was learning in the Saint Mary's Graduate Leadership program, I convened an Action Research (AR) project by inviting three African-American women with diverse perspectives who shared my longstanding passion for youth development and the desire to give back to our community. Through four cycles of action and reflection, we met five times to discuss existing youth leadership programs, funding sources, ideas for the content of a program, and the potential for collaborating with other programs. We agreed that the leadership capacities we wanted to encourage in program design included: communication skills (both oral and written) and community engagement in terms of civic involvement such as attending and speaking at city council meetings. And we wanted a program that increased the capacity for integrity, empathy, and compassion. The four of us agreed to continue on collaborating together after this eight week project was completed, with an eye to having a program in place by the summer of 2014. Besides laying the foundation for a girls' leadership program, we learned from engaging in action research that it can be an effective approach to collaborating in all kinds of organizational development. And we found that the methods of Action Research modeled aspects of leadership that would be valuable to include in a girls' leadership development program."--Abstract, p. 1.

Download or read book Our Children Can t Wait written by Joseph P. Bishop and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2022-12-23 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education policies have too often ignored how conditions outside of school can alter life chances for young people, especially students of color, before they even reach the classroom. More recently, COVID-19 has made it impossible to overlook the needs of the whole child, both inside and outside of school. The authors assert that responding to a number of factors like air quality, housing, public health, community safety, segregation, and neighborhood conditions are essential to improving academic outcomes and student health. Our Children Can't Wait urges readers to reconsider what education policy is, what it could be, who it is for, and who should be directly shaping it at all levels of government. Experts present a new equity roadmap by bridging scholarship, ideas, and original thinking on education policy as a vehicle for setting a redemptive path forward for reckoning with race in America. Book Features: Presents a new, evidence-based blueprint for addressing persistent gaps in education opportunity through a number of interrelated social policies. Includes contributing authors from 17 organizations and universities, representing a powerful national network of scholars. Goes beyond diagnosing or identifying challenges to present solutions in the form of tools and promising models. Offers strategies for preventing more students from experiencing homelessness or entering the criminal justice system through strategic investments. Addresses timely issues that are in the hearts and minds of many key stakeholders in no small part due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our challenge is to put this work into action." —PAUL PYRZ, president, LeaderShape " Comprehensive in design and scope, the second edition of The Handbook is a theory and practice resource manual for every leadership educator—inside and outside of the classroom." —LAURA OSTEEN, director, the Center for Leadership and Civic Education, Florida State University " Every college administrator responsible for coordinating student leadership programming should have this book.

Download or read book When Students Protest written by Judith Bessant and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2021-08-20 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Student political action has been a major and recurring feature of politics across the globe throughout the past century. Students have been involved in a full range of public issues, from anti-colonial movements, anti-war campaigns, civil rights and pro-democracy movements to campaigns against neoliberal policies, austerity, racism, misogyny and calls for climate change action. Yet student protest actions are frequently dismissed by political elites and others as 'adolescent mischief' or manipulation of young people by duplicitous adults. This occurs even as many working in government, traditional media and educational organisations attempt to suppress student movements. Much of mainstream scholarly work has also deemed student politics as undeserving of intellectual attention. These three edited volumes of books help set the record straight. Written by scholars and activists from around the world, When Students Protest: Secondary and High Schools is the first of a three-volume study. The authors document and analyse how generations of secondary and high school students in many countries have been thoughtful, committed and effective political actors and especially so over the past decade. This book also reveals moves by power holders to stigmatise, repress and even criminalise student political campaigns. While these efforts were sometimes successful, this volume shows that whether responding to problems within schools, or engaging the major public issues of the day, school activists have renewed and revived the political culture of their society, while also challenging long-held age-based prejudices.
