The Effectiveness of Educational Policy for Bias-Free Teacher Hiring - Critical Insights to Enhance Diversity in the Canadian... The Effectiveness of Educational Policy for Bias-Free Teacher Hiring - Critical Insights to Enhance Diversity in the Canadian Teacher Workforce (Paperback)
Ann Lopez; Zuhra Abawi
R1,192 Discovery Miles 11 920 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume offers a critical examination of educational policy in Ontario, Canada, and critiques the success of such policies in ensuring diversity and equity of access in teacher hiring. Providing comprehensive coverage of historical marginalization in the Canadian education system, the book explains the rationale and objectives of policies enacted with the aim of ensuring "bias-free", or "colourblind" hiring. Drawing on qualitative data to illustrate how educators' lived experiences often sit at odds with the inclusivity that such policies claim to achieve, the book presents the "Equity Hiring Toolkit" as a practical framework enabling educational administrators to recognize how unconscious biases and relative positions of power can implicate hiring decisions. This text will benefit researchers, doctoral students, and academics in the fields of teacher education, educational policy, and multicultural education more broadly. Those interested in the school leadership and management, as well as race and ethnic studies will also enjoy this volume.

Equity as Praxis in Early Childhood Education and Care (Paperback): Zuhra Abawi, Ardavan Eizadirad, Rachel Berman Equity as Praxis in Early Childhood Education and Care (Paperback)
Zuhra Abawi, Ardavan Eizadirad, Rachel Berman
R1,583 Discovery Miles 15 830 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Equity as Praxis in Early Childhood Education and Care aims to map, deconstruct, and engage with different models of equity as they pertain to the early childhood education landscape in Ontario. Drawing on marginalized narratives of gender, race, Indigeneity, dis/ability and inclusion, and migration, immigration, and displacement, the authors discuss how to advance the field and make it more equitable for children, families, early childhood educators, and all other practitioners. This edited collection outlines the current political climate of early childhood education and care in Ontario through a critical analysis of policies and dominant discourses of equity and inclusion. By prompting readers to reflect on and critique their understandings of children, families, communities, and practices in the field, the authors seek to provide counternarratives to Eurocentric developmentalist hegemonies and an alternative strength-based approach to critical and transformative praxis.This vital text encourages rethinking how narratives of equity and inclusion are constructed and what this means for young children and their families in Ontario, as well as throughout Canada. This is an essential resource for students in early childhood education and care, early childhood studies, and education programs. FEATURES: Includes perspectives from multiple positionalities in the field to provide a critical and interdisciplinary approach Draws on a reconceptualist lens to present a critique of developmentalist approaches Encourages readers to engage with the content by practising critical self-examination and considering social factors and forces that inform their own concepts

Contextualizing and Organizing Contingent Faculty - Reclaiming Academic Labor in Universities (Hardcover): Ishmael I. Munene Contextualizing and Organizing Contingent Faculty - Reclaiming Academic Labor in Universities (Hardcover)
Ishmael I. Munene; Contributions by Zuhra Abawi, Joe T Berry, Choi Soyoung, Nihan Demirkasimoglu, …
R3,499 Discovery Miles 34 990 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Contextualizing and Organizing Contingent Faculty: Reclaiming Academic Labor in Universities seeks to develop a counterculture that eschews the neoliberal ideology and interloping market values in higher education. More than merely lamenting the disruptive effects of these marketplace values in higher education institutions, it develops both theoretical insights and practical organizing strategies pertinent to challenging new academic-capitalist values and behaviors. Contributors, local and international, present cases from various institutions to illuminate how national trends concerning contingent faculty are articulated, implemented, and challenged at the local level. They present organizing strategies which are analyzed from an interdisciplinary perspective, providing a thorough and comprehensive view of the contingent labor movement. This book will provide useful lessons to a broad array of audiences in universities, labor movements, and national and local governments.
