Teachers have faced serious public critique regarding their
effectiveness and professionalism in classrooms. At every level,
their work is often measured solely against student achievement
outcomes, often on standardized tests (Darling-Hammond &
Youngs, 2002; Ravitch, 2010). Unfortunately, students who are
coming from culturally, economically, and linguistically diverse
backgrounds are often occupying the bottom rungs regarding academic
achievement (Ladson-Billings, 1995; Milner,2010; Hucks, 2014). What
are the obstacles and challenges teachers and students face in
their respective school settings and how do they grapple with and
overcome them? Finally, what do these teachers and students know
that motivates and informs their work? The scholars in this volume
will take up these questions and share the findings of their
research in the field of leadership, teacher education, and
achievement. These concerns are not limited to the geographic
boundaries of the United States of America. Engaging purposeful
teaching is an imperative that concerns students, teachers, teacher
educators, educational leaders, and education policy makers around
the globe. There are many educators worldwide who are committed to
delivering this type of teaching and promoting learning that is
engaged and active. The four sections of the book capture the work
of educators in teaching in diverse global settings such as the
Australia, United Kingdom, Jamaica, Turkey, and across America. As
diverse populations of students enter American classrooms, it is
important for their teachers to have relatable examples of
purposeful teaching that are culturally responsive and culturally
relevant.
