Описание: Reframing Decision Making in Education begins by describing the current status of American schools and concludes with a description of the organizational structure, leadership, and decision making practices necessary to make our schools operate in a manner congruent with those democratic principles we espouse as a country.
Community College Leadership and Management places emphasis on reframing college practices in order to advance student success. This calls for leaders to be well versed on promising strategies which have illustrated evidence in advancing academic success. Such practices include intrusive academic advising, exit interviews with dropouts and graduates, and the use of technology to supplement face-to-face academic counselor advising. These leaders are aware of and welcome the challenges and opportunities a changing student population presents to community colleges. The authors critically analyze and call for a deconstruction of conventional practices and the construction of new approaches to understand how student success is envisioned. For example, a redefinition of what constitutes student success is advanced. A redefinition of student success—as the attainment of an academic, vocational, career, or personal goal—is put forth. This broader perception, definition, and meaning of student success is not limited to or constrained by an accountability paradigm. It is driven by the need to capture a more complete picture of the trajectory of contemporary and traditional enrollees from increasingly diverse backgrounds: students whose goals do not fit solely and neatly into two traditionally dominant outcomes like graduation and transfer. It is the role of community college leaders to affirm, inculcate, and communicate this more nuanced definition, allowing it to guide the vision and mission, programs, policies, and practices of the institution. Carlos Nevarez and Luke J. Wood support their arguments through various models, frameworks, research findings, case studies, and presentation of self-reflective questions aimed at advancing reflective community college scholar-practitioners.
Описание: Education Is Upside Down urges readers wishing to improve American Education to more carefully consider the institution`s central mission, challenge long-accepted truths of practice, and question current reform efforts and actions.

PRAISE FOR REFRAMING ACADEMIC LEADERSHIP 1st ED
"Reframing Academic Leadership is the most comprehensive book on the topic and an excellent source of knowledge for faculty and managerial leaders in every college and university. An invaluable resource for students of higher education leadership!" --MAUREEN SULLIVAN, Past President, American Library Association and Association of College and Research Libraries
"Reframing Academic Leadership provides a compassionate understanding of the stresses of leadership in higher education. It offers insights to those who do not fully appreciate why higher education is so hard to 'manage' and validation for those entirely familiar with this world. I recommend it enthusiastically." --JUDITH BLOCK MCLAUGHLIN, Senior lecturer on education and faculty chair of the Harvard Seminar for New Presidents and the Harvard Seminar for Presidential Leadership, Harvard Graduate School of Education
"Bolman and Gallos provide a refreshing view of leadership essential for those assuming presidencies and other important leadership positions in higher education. This work is a bedside reference for aspiring and current leadership in higher education not only in the U.S. but also abroad." --FERNANCO LEON GARCIA, President, Sistema CETYS Universidad, Baja California, Mexico
"Bolman and Gallos have written a practical, lucid text that brings together illustrative vignettes and robust frameworks for diagnosing and managing colleges and universities. I recommend it to new and experienced administrators who will routinely confront difficult people, structures, and cultures in their workplaces." --CHRISTOPHER MORPHEW, Dean, School of Education, Johns Hopkins University
"Reframing Academic Leadership is filled with real-world examples from leaders. The book reads like a guide for leading a chamber music rehearsal where one's role constantly shifts from star to servant and where multiple answers may be 'right'." --PETER WHITE, Dean and Professor of Conducting, Conservatory of Music, University of the Pacific
The system of education in America has been separate and unequal since its inception. The imperfect yet perfect storm of COVID-19 and civil unrest has opened the wounds of inequity and inequality for the world to see. In this season, as our country finds itself at a crossroad where real and authentic change can take place, we face our greatest opportunity. Now is the time for like-minded individuals to connect and urge our country towards a paradigm shift, evolving us from protest to policy.
Now is the time for our country to live out the creed of its character by enabling all Americans to embrace the truth that all men are created equal and as such, are afforded the rights of true liberty and justice for all. Now is the time for America to close the achievement gap, the opportunity gap, the wealth gap, and the hope gap. The Reframing of American Education forces us to think and rethink why we inherently do the things we do as it relates to liberty and justice for all. Using the four-pronged approach of Humanistic, Political, Structural, and Symbolic Frames of Education, it challenges the practices and policies in our country. Thereby, serving as a clarion call to right the systemic and systematic wrongs that have been engrained in our society, particularly, to the those have been lost, locked out, and ultimately, left behind.

Описание: This book analyzes the behavior of chairs and deans through the political, structural, human resources, and symbolic frames. Lessons learned from the negative as well as the positive scenarios are highlighted, enabling deans and chairs to easily adapt them to their own situations.
Teachers' unions have long been controversial and divisive organizations, but criticism and distrust of them may be at an all-time high. This volume considers the prevailing assumption that unions successfully block change in education because they are primarily motivated to protect members' interests. It challenges the conceptualization of teacher union motivation and provides a more nuanced account of unions' interests, power and impact.
Through a series of international cases from the United States, Finland and the Canton of Zьrich, this volume examines the hot-button issue of performance-related pay reform and compensation. It argues that a better understanding of the union-management relationship may be the key to securing more meaningful change and reform. It will be of use to scholars, policy-makers, union leaders, teachers and citizens who are interested in the possibilities for the union-management relationship, rather than the limitations.
Описание: Schools will learn to first emphasize cooperation and unity, which would create a successful school culture; one encouraging competition with respect rather than arrogance.
