  A highly accessible and easily adaptable conceptual framework that helps educational leaders plan, leverage, and sustain change as they create more equitable schools. 
   
    
   
  In Navigating Social Justice, Martin Scanlan introduces a comprehensive social justice schema that melds organizational learning with leading for equity. Scanlan distills wisdom gleaned from the experiences of a variety of educational professionals as well as from his own more than three decades of work in equity-focused partnership with elementary schools. 
   
    
    
  Scanlan's schema brings together five dimensions—inclusivity, communities of practice, critical formation, social ecosystems, and practical wisdom—that work together holistically to eradicate inequitable practices and policies and promote robust teaching and inclusive learning. For each dimension, the book features real-life vignettes that focus the conversation, exercises that encourage reflection, and suggested opportunities for the application of its central ideas. Each chapter also gives access to online tools, extending its utility. The practical guidance offered in this book not only will enable educational institutions to best meet the needs of families and community members but will also help leaders cultivate the moral and intellectual judgment needed to address social justice issues in schools.

  Body Language - Decoding...

  Body language is an essential aspect of communication that often speaks louder than words. It encompasses a range of non-verbal signals that convey emotions, attitudes, and intentions, all without uttering a single word. From facial expressions and gestures to posture and eye contact, body language is a powerful tool in human interaction, influencing how we connect with others and how we are perceived in return. While verbal communication is often emphasized, non-verbal cues are just as important—sometimes even more so—when it comes to understanding the full message being communicated. 
    
  In fact, research suggests that a large percentage of our communication is conveyed through body language, with estimates ranging from 60% to 93%, depending on the context. The way we move, stand, and make eye contact can reveal a wealth of information about our true feelings, intentions, and state of mind. Whether we're aware of it or not, our body language is constantly transmitting messages to others, which is why it's crucial to understand the subtle cues we are sending out.

  Forbidden - A 3000-Year History...

  Jews do not eat pig. This (not always true) observation has been made by both Jews and non-Jews for more than three thousand years and is rooted in biblical law. Though the Torah prohibits eating pig meat, it is not singled out more than other food prohibitions. Horses, rabbits, squirrels, and even vultures, while also not kosher, do not inspire the same level of revulsion for Jews as the pig. The pig has become a symbol for people to signal their Jewishness, non-Jewishness, or rebellion from Judaism. 
   
   
   
  Starting with the Hebrew Bible, Jordan D. Rosenblum historicizes the emergence of the pig as a key symbol of Jewish identity, from the Roman persecution of ancient rabbis, to the Spanish Inquisition, to Shakespeare's writings, to modern memoirs of those leaving Orthodox Judaism. The pig appears in debates about Jewish emancipation in eighteenth-century England and in vaccine conspiracies; in World War II rallying cries, when many American Jewish soldiers were "eating ham for Uncle Sam;" and in recent deliberations about the kosher status of Impossible Pork. 
   
   
   
  All told, there is a rich and varied story about the associations of Jews and pigs over time, both emerging from within Judaism and imposed on Jews by others. Expansive yet accessible, Forbidden offers a captivating look into Jewish history and identity through the lens of the pig.
