Public school administrators and teachers must re-envision education and collectively build equity-centered systems, structures, and practices to confront systemic inequality in education. This book aims to promote inclusive educational excellence and offer valuable insights and inspiration to a wide range of educational stakeholders. Affirming diversity and advancing social justice requires dismantling oppressive customs and structures inside and outside of the classroom, fostering an equitable school culture, building inclusive learning environments, and increasing collective efficacy through best practice. Creating healthier schools and communities requires authentically investing in and supporting historically and socially marginalized students and families. Rooted in social justice and weaving together diverse voices from the field of education, this edited volume will examine equity-focused pre-K–12 pedagogical practices and showcase high-impact initiatives. Educators play a vital role in ensuring positive student outcomes and success, but often report feeling inadequately prepared for current challenges. Unfortunately, growing challenges are contributing to turnover rates and shortages as well as perpetuating social inequities among pre-K–12 students instead of dismantling them. A research study by the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP) and the Learning Policy Institute (LPI) reveals that public schools with higher percentages of students from low-income families have higher rates of teacher turnover and shortages than schools with lower percentages of students from low-income families. This study highlights the need for more support and resources for teachers working in high-needs schools to ensure that they can provide high-quality education to all students. Additionally, the study suggests that policies that promote equity and diversity in education, such as funding for schools in low-income communities, can help to address these challenges and improve student outcomes. In conclusion, the United States and the world are facing significant challenges and opportunities in education due to increasing diversity and widening disparities. Public school administrators and teachers must re-envision education and collectively build equity-centered systems, structures, and practices to confront systemic inequality in education. This book aims to promote inclusive educational excellence and offer valuable insights and inspiration to a wide range of educational stakeholders. By affirming diversity and advancing social justice, dismantling oppressive customs and structures, fostering an equitable school culture, building inclusive learning environments, and increasing collective efficacy through best practice, we can create healthier schools and communities and ensure that all students have the opportunity to succeed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781648028441\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096944308474,"sku":"9781648028441","price":38.08,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1669379361255_book.jpg?v=1669448198","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/reenvisioning-education-affirming-diversity-and-advancing-justice-9781648028441","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
