Some great teachers are born, but most are self-made. And the way
to make yourself a great teacher is to learn to think and act like
one. In this updated second edition of the best-selling Never Work
Harder Than Your Students, Robyn R. Jackson reaffirms that every
teacher can become a master teacher. The secret is not a specific
strategy or technique, nor it is endless hours of prep time. It's
developing a master teacher mindset-rigorously applying seven
principles to your teaching until they become your automatic
response: Start where you students are. Know where your students
are going. Expect to get your students there. Support your students
along the way. Use feedback to help you and your students get
better. Focus on quality rather than quantity. Never work harder
than your students. In her conversational and candid style, Jackson
explains the mastery principles and how to start using them to
guide planning, instruction, assessment, and classroom management.
She answers questions, shares stories from her own practice and
work with other teachers, and provides all-new, empowering advice
on navigating external evaluation. There's even a self-assessment
to help you identify your current levels of mastery and take
control of your own practice. Teaching is hard work, and great
teaching means doing the right kind of hard work: the kind that
pays off. Join tens of thousands of teachers around the world who
have embarked on their journeys toward mastery. Discover for
yourself the difference that Jackson's principles will make in your
classroom and for your students.

You are a school administrator-a principal or maybe a district
leader. You're doing everything "right"-poring over data, trying
new strategies, launching annual initiatives, bringing in outside
trainers. So why do the outcomes you seek still seem so far away?
The problem isn't you; it's that you were trained in school
leadership, and school leadership just isn't up to the challenge.
Each year, Robyn R. Jackson helps thousands of administrators stop
wasting time and energy on flawed leadership approaches that
succeed only with the right staff, students, parents, budget, and
boss. As they have discovered, it's possible to transform your
school with the people and resources you already have. The secret?
Stop leading and start building! In this book, you'll learn to use
Jackson's breakthrough Buildership Model (TM) to escape the "school
improvement hamster wheel" and finally create the school your
students and teachers deserve. The work involves a handful of
simple shifts in how you approach . . . Purpose: Instead of chasing
tiny gains or the "next new thing" every year, you'll establish and
use an ambitious vision, mission, and set of core values to
galvanize your staff, keep everyone focused, and create true
accountability for achieving your goals. People: You'll discover
new ways to help every teacher grow one level in one domain in one
year or less and, ultimately, develop high levels of both will and
skill. Pathway: Instead of trying to tackle every problem at once,
you'll identify the biggest obstacle standing in your way right now
and figure out exactly how to remove it once and for all. Plan:
You'll learn a new process for solution implementation that is
iterative, cyclical, and capable of powering both short-term wins
and ongoing transformation, year over year. When you stop leading
and start building, you let go of the idea that you need to work
harder to make your school "work better." You no longer settle for
incremental improvement when what you really want is dramatic
change and better learning outcomes for all. It's time to make the
shift from leadership to buildership. Get ready to turn your school
into a success story.
For hundreds of years, the American public education system has
neglected to fully examine, discuss, and acknowledge the vast and
rich history of people of African descent who have played a pivotal
role in the transformation of the United States. The establishment
of Black studies departments and programs represented a major
victory for higher education and a vindication of Black scholars
such as W. E. B. Du Bois and Nathan Huggins. This emerging field of
study sought to address omissions from numerous disciplines and
correct the myriad distortions, stereotypes, and myths about
persons of African descent. In An Introduction to Black Studies,
Eric R. Jackson demonstrates the continuing need for Black studies,
also known as African American studies, in university curricula.
Jackson connects the growth and impact of Black studies to the
broader context of social justice movements, emphasizing the
historical and contemporary demand for the discipline. This book
features seventeen chapters that focus on the primary eight
disciplines of Black studies: history, sociology, psychology,
religion, feminism, education, political science, and the arts.
Each chapter includes a biographical vignette of an important
figure in African American history, such as Frederick Douglass,
Louis Armstrong, and Madam C. J. Walker, as well as student
learning objectives that provide a starting point for educators.
This valuable work speaks to the strength and rigor of scholarship
on Blacks and African Americans, its importance to the formal
educational process, and its relevance to the United States and the
world.
From Roentgen to Rembrandt, Hounsfield to Hollywood and Vesalius to
videogames, Imagining Imaging explores the deeply entwined
relationship between art (and visual-based culture) and radiology /
medical imaging. Including artworks from numerous historical eras
representing varied geographic locations and visual traditions,
alongside a diverse range of contemporary artists, Dr Jackson
argues that the foundations of medical image construction and
interpretation were laid down in artistic innovations dating back
hundreds and thousands of years. Since the discovery of X-rays,
artists and moviemakers have, in turn, drawn rich inspiration from
radiographic imagery and concepts, but the process of
cross-pollination between art and science has continued, with
creative endeavour continuing to mould medical imaging examinations
to this day. Blending a unique mix of art, science and medical
history, together with aspects of visual neurophysiology and
psychology, Imagining Imaging is essential reading for
radiologists, radiographers and artists alike. Peppered with
familiar TV and film references, personal insights into the
business of image interpretation, and delivered in an accessible
and humorous style, the book will also appeal to anyone who enjoys
looking at pictures. Key features: Engaging synthesis of art and
medical history, combined with anecdotes and experiences from a
working clinical radiologist Diverse range of visual reference
points including astronomy, botany and cartography, alongside
comprehensive discussion of medical imaging modalities including
plain radiography, ultrasound, CT and MRI 200 full colour

This special issue presents theoretical and empirical studies that
provide an understanding of the dynamic, complex, and often
conflicting school, family, and community context in which
African-American and Latino adolescents are formally and informally
educated. Focusing on the examination of identity development,
family/community background and resources, and academic
performance, this issue is concerned with the development and
implementation of culturally relevant policies and programs for
these adolescents that effectively support their academic success.
Each paper addresses a set of challenging questions and, in the
process, raises new questions. As a result, the papers challenge
researchers, policymakers, and educators to engage in thoughtful
examination of the sociocultural context in which African American
and Latino youth live as they address their developmental and
academic needs.

Undergraduate Research (UGR) is any creative effort undertaken by
an undergraduate that advances the knowledge of the student in an
academic discipline and leads to new scholarly insights or the
creation of new knowledge that adds to the wealth of the
discipline. Undergraduate research is valued and encouraged at
several HBCUs; however, the history, implementation, nor progress
has not been sufficiently published and disseminated nationally.
Importantly, a great deal of learning occurs when undergraduate
students conduct research and, of course, much of this learning
does not happen during the traditional coursework. Research leads
to better understanding of and deeper appreciation for the
discipline. Further, it is contended that students' career goals
and academic expectations are enhanced as a result of research
participation. Extensive undergraduate research can increase access
to PhD programs. From the voices of faculty mentors, student
mentees and UGR program directors and program coordinators this
volume describes the successes of programs across HBCUs and
discusses how retention and graduation rates have been increased as
a result of participation.

Public education plays a crucial role in crafting a nation's
future. In the United States, education reform policy, particularly
the reliance on large-scale, standardized testing, is a growing
topic of national conversation and concern. An Illusion of Equity:
The Legacy of Eugenics in Today's Education demonstrates how
centuries of propaganda have led us to accept the idea that test
scores indicate something so valuable about human beings that they
should be used to organize society. Drawing on decades of
experience as an educator, author Wendy Zagray Warren unpacks the
origins of this practice, inviting us to probe the ideologies
underlying testing procedures and score interpretation and to
evaluate the rationale for using test scores as the sole markers
for academic achievement. From the beginning, large-scale tests
have produced scores divided by race and class. Initially, these
results aligned with the eugenic ideology of its creators. Warren
shows that while the rhetoric used to justify test-based policy has
changed, the model used to produce test scores remains much the
same. Therefore, so do the outcomes of test-based policies, which
continue to reproduce and reinforce the existing social hierarchy
of the United States. The hope of equity lies in educators charting
new paths and scholars around the world who are dreaming new
educational paradigms into being. Ultimately, Warren invites
policymakers, educators, and parents to explore the richness of
possibility when education is designed around the belief that every
child is worthy of the opportunity to thrive.

"Temptations of Power" examines the new security dilemma that
confronted George W. Bush when terrorists proved for the first time
on 9/11 that they could seriously wound even the greatest of
military powers on its own soil. The authors argue that the
response was influenced by neo-conservative exaggeration of the
efficacy of military power and belief in the US ability to change
the world. Jackson and Towle advocate for new politics--but not the
kind Washington has adopted since 2001.
Temptations of Power examines the new security dilemma which
confronted President George W. Bush when terrorists proved for the
first time on 9/11 that they could seriously wound even the
greatest of military powers on its home ground. In their
indictment, the authors argue that the response was influenced by
neo-conservative exaggeration of the efficacy of military power and
belief in the US ability to change the world and its own image. The
new security dilemma needs to be addressed by new politics but not
those Washington has adopted since 2001.
In the tradition of the English School of International Relations
theory, this project from Robert Jackson seeks to show how
continuities in international politics outweigh the changes. The
author demonstrates how the world is neither one of anarchy, as put
forward by realists, nor is it a fully cosmopolitan order, as
argued by those on the other side of the theoretical spectrum.
Instead, it is a world of states who acknowledge a set of moral
constraints that exists between them.
Sovereignty is at the very centre of the political and legal
arrangements of the modern world. The idea originated in the
controversies and wars, both religious and political, of 16th and
17th century Europe and since that time it has continued to spread
and evolve. Today sovereignty is a global system of authority: it
extends across all religions, civilizations, languages, cultures,
ethnic and racial groupings, and other collectivities into which
humanity is divided.
In this highly accessible book, Robert Jackson provides a concise
and comprehensive introduction to the history and meaning of
sovereignty. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the US
Declaration of Independence to terrorist attacks of 9/11 he shows
how sovereignty operates in our daily lives and analyses the issues
raised by its universality and centrality in the organization of
the world. The book covers core topics such as the discourse of
sovereignty, the global expansion of sovereignty, the rise of
popular sovereignty, and the relationship between sovereignty and
human rights. It concludes by examining future challenges facing
sovereignty in an era of globalization.
This interdisciplinary study will be of interest to a wide range of
students, academics and general readers who seek to understand this
fundamental concept of the modern world.
