In Sanctuary School, Chandler Patton Miranda highlights the many ways that K–12 schools can provide safe educational spaces and relevant, responsive resources for immigrant students. Miranda prompts educators to think beyond the baseline definition of sanctuary schools as protective institutions that practice legally supported noncooperation with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activities. She envisions a whole-school approach to sanctuary that empowers marginalized students via radical welcoming and innovation.

Many teachers, support staff, and school leaders are tired, stressed, and overstretched. And even though this frequently makes the headlines, it isn't a new problem. In this book, Mark Solomons and Fran Abrams argue staff well-being should be rooted in the culture and climate of our schools. They provide a roadmap to recovery for struggling schools which should lead to improvements in staff morale, workload management, and mental well-being.

In Radical Brown, renowned developmental scholar Margaret Beale Spencer and critical legal analyst Nancy E. Dowd offer a fresh perspective on the Brown v. Board of Education decision.

In Discredited, education scholars Lauren Schudde and Huriya Jabbar illuminate the successes and failures of the systems that support student transfer among postsecondary institutions. Schudde and Jabbar show how the decentralized, bureaucracy-ridden, and often confusing process undermines equity and access in higher education. 

In Deliberative Policymaking, Elizabeth Grant advances a fresh framework for making collective decisions about US schools. Grant argues that education policy can be made better by improving education policymaking methods. Informed by accounts of policymaking actions as well as her own experience, she offers a keen assessment of which components of existing education policy and policymaking have been effective and which have not.

Royel M. Johnson and Shaun R. Harper's book, The Big Lie About Race in America's Schools, delivers a collective response to the challenge of racially charged misinformation, disinformation, and censorship that increasingly permeates and weakens not only US education but also our democracy.

Può accadere che un insegnante, magari dopo una discussione un po’ alterata o alla luce di valutazioni particolarmente negative, sia sul piano del rendimento che del comportamento, possa, per così dire, “minacciare” di bocciare un alunno, o perché particolarmente svogliato o perché disinteressato alla materia che insegna. Non è assolutamente vero.

Symposion (Das Gastmahl) ist einer der bekanntesten Dialoge Platons – und ein Schlüsseltext der westlichen Philosophie. In einem literarisch inszenierten Gesprächskreis reflektieren Sokrates und andere Gäste über die Natur der Liebe, die Rolle des Eros und das Streben nach Wahrheit und Schönheit. Mit Witz, Tiefgang und überraschenden Einsichten entsteht ein einzigartiges philosophisches Porträt der Liebe – zwischen Sinnlichkeit, Geist und Ideal.

There is a crisis facing America’s men. They have fallen behind women in school, they are often overlooked in career opportunities, and they are scolded for their unique educational needs. No solutions have been found because our reigning civil rights regime prevents us from even acknowledging the problem or from coming to grips with it. Instead, our laws keep insisting on “gender neutral” remedies like improving test scores or graduation rates—ignoring the natural differences between the sexes.

In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community.
