Students of all ages can learn to think like artists! Studio Thinking changed the conversation about quality arts education.

This powerful resource is for researchers and educational leaders who are interested in understanding and applying research methods that emphasize youth voice. The authors argue that most educational research either omits critical understandings of youth or, even worse, presents inaccuracies due to faulty techniques. Researching how youth experience their schools and communities requires specific conceptual tools that address researcher bias, power dynamics, and the contextual considerations that impact meaning-making processes. Responding to these issues, the authors present the Student Voice Research Framework--an approach that both novice and advanced researchers can use to address assumptions and overcome bias as they engage with youth. Readers are provided with clear steps for implementing the framework, as well as examples of how some of the most innovative qualitative and quantitative researchers in the world are using it. The text includes numerous interview, survey, and other protocols with strategies that researchers can use immediately or adapt for their own studies. This comprehensive volume is a must-have for anyone doing research about and with youth. Book Features: Guidance for addressing persistent problems of bias in educational inquiry to better engage in study about and with students. Examination of student voice research as its own field with its own typologies and research questions. Chapters highlighting innovative qualitative and quantitative research methods and strategies with ready-to-use protocols and other tools. A forward-looking conversation about social justice and what democracy could look like in schools. A toolkit of research methods and school change processes to address difficult questions in education.

This work provides educational leaders at all levels with a conceptual framework for leadership defined as reciprocal, purposeful learning in community. It includes a comprehensive approach to issues of equity, diversity, and multiculturalism.

This study uses research on literacy outside of school to challenge how we think about literacy inside of school. It seeks to bridge the divide in the literature between formal education and the many informal settings - homes, after-school programmes - in which literacy learning flourishes.

In schools serving high concentrations of bilingual learners, it can be especially challenging for teachers to maintain commitments to equity minded instruction while meeting the demands of new educational policies, including national standards. This book details how one school integrated equity pedagogy into standards-based curriculum and produced exemplary levels of achievement.

Presents a model of how Black students navigate the linguistic expectations of college. Grounded in real-world examples of Black undergraduates attending colleges and universities across the US, the model illustrates the linguistic and cultural balancing acts that arise as Black students work to develop their full linguistic selves.

"Race Frames in Education offers a unique analysis centered on the concept of racial projects-a way of thinking not only about systems of racial domination and subjugation, but also of resistance. Chapter authors underscore how racial projects advance equity or reproduce inequality for Latinx, immigrant and undocumented immigrant, Asian American, and African American populations"--

Based on the author's teaching experience, this book examines why and how many progressive White people are stuck when it comes to race. By locating contemporary Whiteness in its historical context, this book rethinks some of the foundational aspects of White attitudes and approaches to antiracism, including empathy, resistance, and privilege.

Introduces the Infant Toddler Inquiry Learning Model, a new way to think about how young children (birth-age 3) explore, think, and learn STEM. Accessible to educators from a wide range of educational backgrounds, it is designed specifically to help guide the implementation of STEM experiences into the early childhood curriculum.

Shows teachers how to engage children (ages 3-8) with light and shadow in a playful way, building an early foundation for the later, more complex study of this phenomena and possibly piquing the curiosity of children that will ultimately lead to professions within the field of STEM.

Using the case study of a Seattle school, this text describes a working model for the education of homeless children in America's public schools.
