Sinopse

Outcome Gap Evaluation thoroughly examines the persistent disparities in academic outcomes across various student groups, despite numerous educational reforms. It tackles why these achievement gaps persist by delving into systemic inequities within national education systems. One intriguing fact explored is how historical policies continue to shape current academic outcomes, impacting equity in education. It's valuable because it uses rigorous quantitative methods to evaluate policy effectiveness, offering insights into what truly works in addressing these disparities.

 
The book maps outcome disparities based on demographics like race, socioeconomic status, and geography, then investigates systemic factors such as school funding and teacher quality. Curriculum bias is also addressed. It argues that achievement gaps aren't solely due to individual student differences but are deeply rooted in systemic issues. For example, unequal school funding can create resource disparities, directly affecting student achievement.

 
The book progresses logically, starting with defining the problem and then analyzing demographic trends, systemic factors, and current intervention strategies. It concludes with actionable recommendations for policymakers and educators, making it a practical resource for those seeking to understand and address educational inequality.

The Self-Led Educator - An...

LMFT Joanna Curry-Sartori

You chose to be an educator because you felt a sense of purpose, a wish to serve—it's not just a profession. 
 
Teaching is a role that demands emotional presence, relational skill, and boundless energy. If you're feeling burned out, overwhelmed, and more disconnected from your purpose, then chances are your students are feeling that way too. In The Self-Led Educator, Joanna Curry-Sartori is leading the movement to help teachers and school leaders use the transformative tools of Internal Family Systems (IFS) to reclaim their love of teaching, work compassionately with their own "parts" to better serve students, and build a resilient and connected community. 
 
Becoming self-led means that your thoughts, emotions, and actions will be guided by the core self, rather than your reactive impulses, self-protective tendencies, or desire to people-please. Curry-Sartori will help you identify the root causes of collective stress, student disengagement, and interpersonal conflict at school, while also providing proven tools to prioritize your own mental health and emotional well-being. Let this powerful book be your guide to becoming a more calm, clear, compassionate, creative, curious, and connected educator. You can lead your school community toward excellence . . . starting with yourself.
