Book Description
There is no shortage of challenges in schools today—from bullying to gun violence and beyond—yet The Magical Place We Call School reminds us of the extraordinary things that still happen in classrooms all across America and that school truly can be a safe and happy place for learning. At a time when public discourse rages on about what students should or should not be taught, when books are being banned, when school shootings fill the news, and when families are still reeling from the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic—here comes The Magical Place We Call School. With its fresh focus on the power and perils of education, it’s an intentional way of thinking that will intrigue readers everywhere. In her literary debut, school principal Dr. Kathleen Corley, a forty-year veteran in elementary education, writes knowingly and with unique humor and insight about the value of education, how kids think and learn, what they need to succeed in and out of school, and how their home life affects their performance. Plus, she tackles some of the most daunting societal issues impacting children today, from bullying to gun violence and beyond. Dr. Corley reminds us that something extraordinary still occurs in classrooms across America—not just miraculously, but by design and with tenacity. In The Magical Place We Call School, Corley shares human interest stories that shed light on what is and isn’t working and provides a calm hand and a much-needed perspective from the front lines of learning. Her deep caring for the children, educators, and parents in her midst shines through, providing a true sense of what she calls “the magic of schools.” It’s a book not to be missed.

Book Description
Lately, our nation's strategy for improving our schools is mostly limited to "getting tough" with teachers. Blaming teachers for poor outcomes, we spend almost all of our energy trying to control teachers' behavior and school operations. But what if all of this is exactly the opposite of what is needed? What if teachers are the answer and not the problem? What if trusting teachers, and not controlling them, is the key to school success? Examining the experiences of teachers who are already trusted to call the shots, this book answers: What would teachers do if they had the autonomy not just to make classroom decisions, but to collectively--with their colleagues--make the decisions influencing whole school success? Decisions such as school curriculum, how to allocate the school budget, and whom to hire. Teachers with decision-making authority create the schools that many of us profess to want. They individualize learning. Their students are active (not passive) learners who gain academic and life skills. The teachers create school cultures that are the same as those in high-performing organizations. They accept accountability and innovate, and make efficient use of resources. These promising results suggest: it's time to trust teachers.

Book Description
This inspiring collection of accounts from educators and students is “an essential resource for all those seeking to build an antiracist school system” (Ibram X. Kendi). Since 2016, the Black Lives Matter at School movement has carved a new path for racial justice in education. A growing coalition of educators, students, parents and others have established an annual week of action during the first week of February. This anthology shares vital lessons that have been learned through this important work. In this volume, Bettina Love makes a powerful case for abolitionist teaching, Brian Jones looks at the historical context of the ongoing struggle for racial justice in education, and prominent teacher union leaders discuss the importance of anti-racism in their unions. Black Lives Matter at School includes essays, interviews, poems, resolutions, and more from participants across the country who have been building the movement on the ground.

Book Description
Why does school demoralise and disillusion so many pupils, undermining and eroding their self-belief, natural playfulness and individuality? Why are school teachers quitting the profession in such alarming numbers, many not even completing their professional training? Did you know that school is not even compulsory? Do you know about the alternatives? Is it not time to rediscover the power of choice for your children's sake? This book reveals the toxic effect of the modern schooling system on both pupils and teachers alike and explores the more child-friendly options available that could save us all from the insanity of a system that is broken and rotten to its core. It is a stark wake up call for all those involved in educating our children and gives clarity and hope to parents of children who are screaming every day not to go to school. It recounts the author's experiences as both pupil and teacher in various learning environments and includes testimonies from current and former pupils and teachers as well as parents of children being educated in all kinds of environments. Short-term and long-term damage is being caused to children who would be better served outside the stifling classroom regime of a modern school or by a system that radically changes its approach. Teachers are working in impossibly stressful conditions with too many demands on their precious time and energy. The system is in meltdown. The book looks at the havoc created in individual lives as well as to society as a whole and investigates how this dysfunction has come about and just as importantly the possible agenda behind it. Alternatives to the mainstream model are explored and inspirational examples are given of governments and schools around the globe that are acknowledging that schooling needs to change drastically and urgently for the sake of future generations. Educating your children at home is the final focus as the reader is reassured that it is not against the law to educate your own children (at least not in the UK) and it may well be the best solution until society wakes up to the full extent of the problem. If you have ever wondered what might have held you back in life; if you still believe school is compulsory; if you have children begging you every Sunday evening not to have to go to school the next morning; or if you are a teacher feeling trapped and looking for a way forward, then this book is definitely for you!
