PublicAffairs,U.S. Schoolhouse Burning: Public Education and the
Book SynopsisWe are in the midst of a full-scale attack on our nation's commitment to public education. From funding, to vouchers, to charter schools, public education policy has become a political football, rather than a means of fulfilling the most basic obligation of government to its citizens.As Derek W. Black vividly illustrates, this assault threatens not just public education, but democracy itself. Black offers both an illuminating history of our nation's establishment of a constitutional right to education, and a trenchant analysis of how such a right is being undermined today. He looks at education history with a wide view, describing both periods when our democracy has been strengthened-when the commitment to public education has been strongest-and weakened, when such a commitment has been lacking. And today, such a commitment is sorely lacking.Schoolhouse Burning shows what is at stake: not just the right to public education as guaranteed by the constitution, but an erosion of democratic norms.

Rowman & Littlefield The Limits of Law-Based School Reform: Vain Hopes
Book SynopsisA confusing and contentious debate often surrounds law-based school reforms (lawsuits, regulations, statutes, and collective bargaining provisions). DeMitchell and Fossey argue that law-based reforms have not changed the fundamental character of the nation's schools. Although hundreds of law-based initiatives have been introduced, most have had little effect on learning. Law-based reform is an important and necessary strategy, but by itself it is not enough to change the way children are schooled. Rational decision making, which undergirds most law-based reform, can take us only part way to the schools our children deserve.Trade ReviewBravo to the authors of this insightful text! This is the first comprehensive effort in some years that addresses the legal issues around school reform from the perspective of the needs of children. * Ela Notes *For persons who want a comprehensive understanding of the multiple issues facing school reform, I recommend without reservation this book. * International Journal of Educational Reform *This is a hard-hitting book. ... It should be read by all educators, particularly those who want to help American children benefit fully from what schools could offer. * International Journal of Educational Reform *

Encounter Books,USA Twisting Title IX
Book SynopsisThis is the story of how Title IX, a 1972 law intended to ban sex discrimination in education, became a monster that both the federal government and many college administrators treat as though it supersedes both the U.S. Constitution and hundreds of years of common law. It's a story about the victims of this lawmen and women bothand of the unaccountable government bureaucrats at the Departments of Education and Justice who repeatedly prioritize an extreme brand of politics over free speech, fundamental fairness, and basic human decency. But while help may come too late for many of the present victims of Title IX abuse, there are still measures that colleges and courts can take to curb these abuses until Congress actsor we see a Presidential administration that cares more about restoring justice and the rule of law than it does about sex and gender politics.

Michigan State University Press The Pursuit of Racial and Ethnic Equality in
Book SynopsisIn 1954 the Supreme Court decided Brown v. Board of Education; ten years later, Congress enacted the Civil Rights Act. These monumental changes in American law dramatically expanded educational opportunities for racial and ethnic minority children across the country. They also changed the experiences of white children, who have learned in increasingly diverse classrooms.The authors of this commemorative volume include leading scholars in law, education, and public policy, as well as important historical figures. Taken together, the chapters trace the narrative arc of school desegregation in the United States, beginning in California in the 1940s, continuing through Brown v. Board, the Civil Rights Act, and three important Supreme Court decisions about school desegregation and voluntary integration in 1974, 1995, and 2007. The authors also assess the status of racial and ethnic equality in education today and consider the viability of future legal and policy reform in pursuit of the goals of Brown v. Board.This remarkable collection of voices in conversation with one another lays the groundwork for future discussions about the relationship between law and educational equality, and ultimately for the creation of new public policy. A valuable reference for scholars and students alike, this dynamic text is an important contribution to the literature by an outstanding group of authors.

The New Press A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door: The Dismantling
Book SynopsisA trenchant analysis of how public education is being destroyed in overt and deceptive ways—and how to fight back “A powerful analysis of the predatory, profit-seeking forces that threaten our nation’s public schools. . . . If you care about the future of our society, read this book.” —Diane Ravitch, author of Slaying Goliath and Reign of ErrorIn the “vigorous, well-informed” (Kirkus Reviews) A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door, the co-hosts of the popular education podcast Have You Heard expose the potent network of conservative elected officials, advocacy groups, funders, and think tanks that are pushing a radical vision to do away with public education. “Cut[ing] through the rhetorical fog surrounding a host of free-market reforms and innovations” (Mike Rose), Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire lay bare the dogma of privatization and reveal how it fits into the current context of right-wing political movements. A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door “goes above and beyond the typical explanations” (SchoolPolicy.org), giving readers an up-close look at the policies—school vouchers, the war on teachers’ unions, tax credit scholarships, virtual schools, and more—driving the movement’s agenda. Called “well-researched, carefully argued, and alarming” by Library Journal, this smart, essential book has already incited a public reckoning on behalf of the millions of families served by the American educational system—and many more who stand to suffer from its unmaking. “Just as with good sci-fi,” according to Jacobin, “the authors make a compelling case that, based on our current trajectory, a nightmare future is closer than we think.”Trade ReviewPraise for A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door:“This book is critical reading for anyone hoping to understand the complex of forces joining to ‘disrupt’ education, as well as understanding where they came from, how they got here, and why this moment in history is different from all those that came before.”—Peter Green, Forbes“A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door charts the steady undermining of the notion of education as a public good to be supported by public money, which has only exacerbated the educational divide between the haves and the have-nots. Forces are prepared to finish off public education once and for good, using pandemic-driven shortage of resources as the ultimate rationale. Scary stuff.”—John Warner, Chicago Tribune“Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire’s A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door is not science fiction, but it could be the premise for a good film. The book asks us to imagine a future in which the growing movement of school privatizers in the United States totally have their way. Just as with good sci-fi, the authors make a compelling case that, based on our current trajectory, a nightmare future is closer than we think.”—Jon. K. Shelton, Jacobin“In this eminently readable book, the authors describe the ‘unmaking’ of public education and the players behind this effort. They explain how the attacks on public schools are part of a larger effort to shrink government and in general what the public expects from the public sphere. . . . Schneider and Berkshire demonstrate that attacking public education has also torn at the social fabric of America.”—Wendy Lecker, Stamford Advocate “Their insightful analysis and synthesis will tremendously contribute to the education and political science literature and beyond. This is a book for parents, teachers, and others who commit themselves to improving public education and care about the future of the American society.”—DongMei Li, Teachers College Record"Schneider and Berkshire make a persuasive case that public education is under serious threat. Parents, teachers, and progressive policy makers will learn much from this well-documented account."—Publishers Weekly"An excellent choice for teachers to understand the politics of their profession, and for people committed to supporting and improving public education."—Booklist" A vigorous, well-informed broadside against the marketization of the education system in the U.S."—Kirkus Reviews“[A] well-researched, carefully argued, and alarming book.”—Library Journal“Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire offer a powerful analysis of the predatory, profit-seeking forces that threaten our nation’s public schools. As they show, the old ideas of the radical right are more dangerous than ever, and are advancing more rapidly than we realize. If you care about the future of our society, read this book.”—Diane Ravitch, author of Slaying Goliath and Reign of Error“How did the once-fringe quest to turn public education into a profit-making industry get so close to wrecking our schools? Jack Schneider and Jennifer Berkshire pull back the curtain on the right-wing ideologues, billionaire donors, and for-profit entrepreneurs who have masked their true purposes well enough to ensnare many who should know better. Read this keenly argued and convincing book to understand that if we lose our public schools, we lose the ‘we’ of ‘We, the People.’”—Nancy MacLean, author of Democracy in Chains: The Deep History of the Radical Right’s Stealth Plan for America “A Wolf at the Schoolhouse Door is meticulously researched, illuminating, and timely, offering badly needed context for our contemporary debates about what public education is for and who it should serve. The forces looking to destroy public education have a recognizable strategy in their crusade to privatize and demolish; this is the playbook we need if we are going to join together and fight back.”—Noliwe Rooks, chair of Africana Studies, Brown University, and author of Cutting School: Privatization, Segregation, and the End of Public Education“A scholar and a journalist combine their considerable skills in this book to give us a clear-eyed, searing indictment of the privatizing and profit-seeking threats to our schools. Schneider and Berkshire cut through the rhetorical fog surrounding a host of free-market reforms and innovations—from vouchers to virtual learning—to expose a strategic and terribly dangerous undermining of public education.”—Mike Rose, author of Back to School: Why Everyone Deserves a Second Chance at Education“Our public schools, imperfect as they are, remain the best opportunity we’ve got for a more just and equal society. Philadelphia was able to beat back almost two decades of privatization and austerity because parents, educators, and youth formed a united front. By taking on these wildly unpopular attempts to destroy public education, we build not just a stronger and more responsive school system but a better democracy. This book is an urgent guide for the battles to come.”—Helen Gym, member, Philadelphia City Council

Information Age Publishing Federalism and Education: Ongoing Challenges and
Book SynopsisFederalism has played a central role in charting educational progress in many countries. With an evolving balance between centralization and decentralization, federalism is designed to promote accountability standards without tempering regional and local preferences. Federalism facilitates negotiations both vertically between the central authority and local entities as well as horizontally among diverse interests. Innovative educational practices are often validated by a few local entities prior to scaling up to the national level. Because of the division of revenue sources between central authority and decentralized entities, federalism encourages a certain degree of fiscal competition at the local and regional level. The balance of centralization and decentralization also varies across institutional and policy domains, such as the legislative framework for education, drafting of curricula, benchmarking for accountability, accreditation, teacher training, and administrative responsibilities at the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels.Given these critical issues in federalism and education, this volume examines ongoing challenges and policy strategies in ten countries, namely Australia, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Germany, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and the United States. These chapters and the introductory overview aim to examine how countries with federal systems of government design, govern, finance, and assure quality in their educational systems spanning from early childhood to secondary school graduation. Particular attention is given to functional division between governmental layers of the federal system as well as mechanisms of intergovernmental cooperation both vertically and horizontally. The chapters aim to draw out comparative lessons and experiences in an area of great importance to not only federal countries but also countries that are emerging toward a federal system.Table of Contents Federalism and Education: Cross-National Lessons on Governance, Standards, and Accountability for the 21st Century, Kenneth K.

Information Age Publishing Walkout! Teacher Militancy, Activism, and School
Book SynopsisTeacher unions and their members have long stood as polarizing figures in a vast educational landscape. As in the Western films of the 1920s, policymakers, education reformers, and onlookers often assign union leaders and the teachers they represent either the white hats of heroes or the black hats of villains. Politicized efforts to reductively classify teacher unions as beneficial or dangerous have only served to obscure the extent to which labor militancy and teacher activism have become part and parcel of the American public school system and the primary mechanisms by which teachers' voices are heard – and heeded – in the policy arena. Teacher unions have grown in tandem with and in response to the expansion of the school bureaucracy and the acceleration of accountability reforms, and teachers' calls for recognition and reform are inseparable from broader movements for social change. Far more than either good or bad, teacher unions are the inevitable outgrowth of American public education as it stands today.This book offers an interdisciplinary exploration of the state of modern teacher unions, the complex spaces they operate in, and the connections between militancy, activism, and school reform. Breaking free from the white hat/black hat dyad that has for so long colored the lenses we use to understand unions, the chapters of this book engage a set of fundamental questions: Where did the modern moment of militancy come from, and in what ways is it a continuation or a departure from the approaches of previous organized teachers?; What is at stake in modern expressions of militancy for teachers, communities, and schools?; Beyond the flashpoint of the walkout, what is the effect of teacher activism?

Information Age Publishing Law & Education Inequality: Removing Barriers to
Book SynopsisPolicies intended to shape student achievement and access at schools and colleges have changed significantly over the past decade. No Child Left Behind, Common Core, Race to the Top, data mining initiatives, Title IX gender equity, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, Americans with Disabilities Act, and executive actions on immigration illustrate key federal initiatives that have redefined standards, priorities, and practices within educational institutions. Similarly, state policies in terms of school funding, school choice, teacher qualifications, student bullying, and other measures have added another layer of complexity to the education law and policy dialogue particularly when addressing matters of education inequality. These emergent policies beget the question: how have these policies contributed to easing the effects of educational inequality?The purpose of this book is to examine the role of law as potentially countering or impeding desirable education reforms, and it calls on readers to consider how policymakers, lawyers, social scientists, and educators might best alter the course in an effort to advance a more just and less unequal educational system.

University of Manitoba Press Reclaiming Anishinaabe Law: Kinamaadiwin
Book SynopsisA manifesto for the future of Indigenous Education in CanadaIn Reclaiming Anishinaabe Law Leo Baskatawang traces the history of the neglected treaty relationship between the Crown and the Anishinaabe Nation in Treaty #3, and the Canadian government’s egregious failings to administer effective education policy for Indigenous youth—failures epitomized by, but not limited to, the horrors of the residential school system.Rooted in the belief that Indigenous education should be governed and administered by Indigenous peoples, Baskatawang envisions a hopeful future for Indigenous nations where their traditional laws are formally recognized and affirmed by the governments of Canada. Baskatawang thereby details the efforts being made in Treaty #3 territory to revitalize and codify the Anishinaabe education law, kinamaadiwin inaakonigewin. Kinamaadiwin inaakonigewin considers education wholistically, such that it describes ways of knowing, being, doing, relating, and connecting to the land that are grounded in tradition, while also positioning its learners for success in life, both on and off the reserve.As the backbone of an Indigenous-led education system, kinamaadiwin inaakonigewin enacts Anishinaabe self-determination, and has the potential to bring about cultural resurgence, language revitalization, and a new era of Crown-Indigenous relations in Canada. Reclaiming Anishinaabe Law challenges policy makers to push beyond apologies and performative politics, and to engage in meaningful reconciliation practices by recognizing and affirming the laws that the Anishinaabeg have always used to govern themselves.Table of Contents Introduction Chapter 1 Colonization and Other Political Discontents Chapter 2 Indigenous Laws and the State Chapter 3 Kinamaadiwin Inaakonigewin Chapter 4 Reconciliation as Recognition and Affirmation Reflections

Intersentia Ltd Legal Education: Reflections and Recommendations
Book SynopsisThis book on Legal Education was written based upon many of the author's experiences as professor and dean. The author noted that there is relatively few literature and research about legal education and felt it was necessary to discuss legal education in present times. The book focuses on many issues such as teaching itself, employability, mission and focus of law schools, the future of law schools in this age of internationalisation, student intake, the link with the labour markets and many other issues. One of the conclusions is that law schools will have to seek their own position and niche and that law schools will have different roles. This book also focuses on the need for law school deans and leaders to set clear missions and strategies and work towards education with all the necessary skills and knowledge, which the students can take with them far into the 21st century. No teaching as we did for many years, but analysing what lies ahead and what is needed for future careers.Table of ContentsPrologue PART A: GENERAL Chapter 1: Introduction Chapter 2: For which Employment do we train Law Students?

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Academic Learning in Law: Theoretical Positions,
Book SynopsisThe nature and purpose of legal education has become a topic of intense debate in recent years. This timely book calls for a critical re-evaluation of university legal education, with the particular aim of strengthening its academic nature. The contributors emphasise lecturers' responsibility to challenge the assumptions students have about law, and the importance of putting law in a theoretical and social context that allows for critical reflection and sceptical detachment. In addition, the book reports upon teaching experiences and innovations, offering tools for teachers to strengthen the academic nature of legal education, and concludes with concrete proposals for change. Students and scholars engaged in the debate regarding the re-evaluation of academic legal education will find this book invaluable to their work. It will also be of interest to practitioners, such as educational experts and administrators looking to understand the role of law schools in creating responsible citizens.Contributors include: T. Bleeker, A. Böning, L. Corrias, U. de Vries, M. Del Mar, L. Francot, S. Germain, T. Hutchinson, B. Oomen, C. Schwöbel-Patel, B. Sokhi-Bulley, G. Uygur, B. van Klink, W. van RossumTrade Review'At a time when the performative demands of the neo-liberal university threaten to marginalise liberal and post-liberal traditions of critical enquiry, it is important to be reminded that a quality legal education can be both richly sceptical and imaginative. For those interested in deepening their students' empirical, normative and affective understanding of legal phenomena, and of their own place in the legal word, this collection of essays offers both a multi-faceted account of educational praxis and some persuasive examples of how we can educate better.' --Julian Webb, The University of Melbourne, Australia'This is a very varied, interesting and stimulating collection of essays. It deserves a wide readership, as there are topics of interest to all law teachers.' --Fiona Cownie, Keele University, UK'In a world dominated by technology, technique, and bureaucracy this collection of essays represents a most welcome and intelligent effort to render legal education, and law itself, more fully human, coherent, and effective, from the point of view both of the individual human being and the larger society.' --James Boyd White, The University of MichiganTable of ContentsContents: Foreword 1.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Legal Doctrinal Scholarship: Legal Theory and the
Book SynopsisProviding a comprehensive account of the often-misunderstood area of legal doctrinal scholarship, this incisive book offers a novel framing for conceptual legal theory and the functions of conceptual theorising in legal studies. It explores the ways in which a doctrinally-oriented legal theory may provide methodological support to legal scholars, arguing that making adequate sense of the rational reconstruction of law is pivotal in delivering such active support.The epistemological key to the central themes of the book is the idea that doctrinal disciplines are anchored in the concept of 'doctrinal knowledge', the practice-specific normative knowledge used to navigate institutionalised social practices. The distinctive epistemological and political philosophical grounding for legal doctrinal scholarship demonstrated in this book facilitates a rich analysis of the three core models of interdisciplinary engagement characteristic of legal scholarship.Considering how legal doctrinal scholarship cultivates doctrinal knowledge by way of hermeneutic engagement with positive law, this thought-provoking book will be a key resource for students and scholars of constitutional law, criminal law, private law and international law. It will also be of benefit to legal theorists, philosophers and practitioners.Trade Review‘In this volume, Ma´tya´s Bo´dig compellingly articulates a theory of legal doctrinal scholarship which deals with these questions and, more generally, with the epistemological and political implications of cultivating doctrinal knowledge about the law in the context of a modern state. Bo´dig’s theoretical strategy helps substantiate the assumption that rationality in law is a regulative ideal which legal scholars - and other participants - can live up to. Furthermore, it shows that the rational reconstruction of the law need not renounce its commitment to the legal sources. Although these are not the only ones, these achievements alone make Bo´dig’s work worthy of applause.’ -- Mari´a I Besomi, The Edinburgh Law Review'Competent legal scholars need to be familiar with the right ways in which claims about the law can be vindicated, but this does not imply they possess great awareness of either the epistemic status or the political implications of their scholarship. These are important and complex matters, whose grasp would greatly improve both our understanding of legal scholarship and assist legal scholars in further refining their art. Professor Bodig's Legal Doctrinal Scholarship faces up to the challenge of investigating the epistemology and politics of doctrinal scholarship with great skill and insight, providing a fresh perspective on a crucial aspect of the legal experience.' -- Claudio Michelon, University of Edinburgh, UK'The overwhelming majority of the work of legal scholars is doctrinal in nature: it analyses, defines, redefines and systematises legal concepts. The present volume offers a thorough, yet novel approach to how legal theory could and should help doctrinal research. Bódig illuminates convincingly the various epistemological and political philosophical preconditions of doctrinal legal scholarship, and how they differ in interdisciplinary research. It is an excellent read for all those legal scholars who wish to reflect theoretically on all these questions.' -- András Jakab, University of Salzburg, Austria'Bódig takes a fresh approach to the debate on legal scholarship by focusing on the epistemological profile of doctrinal research and connecting this with legal theory. This is the basis for identifying and addressing the challenges for interdisciplinary engagement. An original book providing much food for thought.' -- Wibren van der Burg, Erasmus University Rotterdam, the NetherlandsTable of ContentsContents: 1. Introduction 2. Legal theoretical parameters 3.

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd The Art of Mooting: Theories, Principles and
Book SynopsisAdvocacy skills, which are learnt in the moot court, as a precursor to the effective communication of persuasive legal argument, are essential for those seeking a career in law. The skills associated with successful mooting, cover the entire range of the domains of human activity: intellectual, physical and emotional. This informative book examines the theories relevant to the development of skills necessary for effective participation in competition moots. By consideration of underlying theories, Mark Thomas and Lucy Cradduck develop unique models of the skills of the cognitive, psychomotor and affective domains and effective team dynamics, emphasising the importance of written submissions. The authors use this analysis to develop a unique integrated model that informs the process of coaching moot teams according to reliable principles. The Art of Mooting distils the theories and principles that support successful moot performances, grounding these in practical examples of how a mooter's skills may be developed and improved. It is an essential guide for moot coaches, law and advocacy students and academics seeking to improve their skills, and new and existing practitioners. Trade Review'This book offers brilliant new insights on the intellectual, physical and emotional aspects of mooting. In an era of growing emphasis on experiential learning and innovation in legal education, Thomas and Cradduck have given law teachers and students worldwide a valuable new tool to hone their crafts. The intertwining of pedagogical concepts and practical strategies is indispensable for full-time professors, adjunct coaches, peer mentors, and moot directors. The explanation of why and how to prepare for success also makes this book a must-read resource for every student mooting for fun or competition.' --Jeremy de Beer, University of Ottawa, Canada'The Art of Mooting provides an effective guide to the practical and theoretical aspects of mooting. The book combines the practical know-how that mooters need at each stage of a moot competition with the thorough theoretical and pedagogical approach that coaches require. It is therefore an indispensable resource for both mooters and moot coaches. If mooting is an art, this book puts everyone on the path to becoming an artist.' --Louise Parsons, Bond University, Australia'Happily, it has become fashionable to nod when told what a good thing mooting is for legal students and their instructors. But with their book, Mark Thomas and Lucy Cradduck take a more considered and rigorous approach, examining how and why mooting is so beneficial. Good advocacy synthesises thoughtfulness and experience. So does this book. It will be of interest and value to anyone with a stake in good legal education - and that, surely, is all of us.' --Stuart Baran, Three New Square, UKTable of ContentsContents: Foreword 1.

JCB Mohr (Paul Siebeck) Religion in der Schule: Zwischen individuellem
Book SynopsisNirgendwo kommt der Staat der Persönlichkeit des Einzelnen so nahe wie in der Schule: Sie ist zugleich ein Ort der Bildung wie auch der Persönlichkeitserziehung und der Integration der heranwachsenden Generation in die Gesellschaft. In einer religiös zunehmend heterogenen Gesellschaft mit divergierenden Erziehungs- und Wertvorstellungen, die gleichwohl auf dem Grundpfeiler der Glaubens- und Bekenntnisfreiheit des Einzelnen als zentraler Freiheitsnorm ruht, sind Konflikte zwischen dem staatlichen Bildungs- und Erziehungsauftrag sowie Lehrern, Schülern und Eltern unvermeidbar. Der vorliegende Band widmet sich den einzelnen Diskussionsfeldern, in denen das Verhältnis zwischen individueller Religions-, Weltanschauungs- und Gewissensfreiheit sowie dem staatlichen Interesse an Bildung, Erziehung und Integration durch Schule zur Sprache kommt und gleichsam stellvertretend für die Gesellschaft insgesamt verhandelt wird.
