Las escuelas que cambian el mundo
by César BonaEl nuevo libro de César Bona nos invita a conocer de primera mano algunos de los casos maravillosos que están teniendo lugar en el ámbito educativo español, excelentes ejemplos de que la educación de nuestros hijos, la forma de enseñarles, puede hacerse de otra manera y, lo mejor de todo: funciona. Hay escuelas en España que están cambiando la educación. Escuelas que no están en Finlandia ni en Suecia; unas son públicas, otras rurales y algunas incluso están masificadas. Todas ellas son «Escuelas Changemaker» y están preparadas para liderar una verdadera transformación educativa. César Bona ha viajado por siete ciudades y pueblos siguiendo el camino de algunas de las escuelas que están luchando para que cada niño, niña y joven tenga la oportunidad de convertirse en un agente de cambio. Son lugares que cuentan con alumnos motivados, maestros corrientes, y padres cómplices detrás. Escuelas excelentes académicamente y conun proyecto integral donde el respeto, la creatividad, la imaginación, el trabajo en equipo, la empatía y la interacción con la sociedad son el mejor camino para completar las enseñanzas de las asignaturas tradicionales. César Bona nos narra, con su personal y cercana voz, lo que han logrado estas escuelas, lo novedoso de sus métodos y cómo todos, sea cual sea nuestra edad, podemos cambiar el mundo. No olvidemos que los niños no son los adultos del mañana, son los niños del presente y ellos, si les dejamos ser niños, si les reforzamos su creatividad natural, su imaginación desbordante y trabajamos la empatía, la solidaridad y el respeto, pueden cambiar el mundo. No en el futuro, sino ahora. Porque una nueva educación no es un sueño, es una realidad.
Las leyes naturales del niño: La revolución de la educación en la escuela y en casa
by Céline AlvarezCéline Alvarez propone en este libro un nuevo sistema educativo que ya ha empezado a provocar un cambio pedagógico en Francia. Basado en los principios de la metodología Montessori y en los avances de la neurociencia, demuestra que el niño tiene unas capacidades innatas para aprender, solo hay que proporcionarle los estímulos y el ambiente adecuados y respetar sus leyes naturales. Todos los niños nacen con una capacidad innata para aprender y amar. Día tras día, la neurociencia nos descubre más sobre su increíble potencial. Sin embargo, por desinformación, les imponemos un sistema educativo inadecuado que entorpece su aprendizaje y no fomenta su bondad intrínseca. En Francia, más del 40% de los niños acaban la educación primaria sin haber cumplido con los objetivos de aprendizaje. En el caso de España la situación es todavía peor, pues tiene las tasas de fracaso y abandono escolar más altas de Europa: el 20% de los jóvenes no terminan sus estudios de secundaria.Céline Alvarez llevó a cabo un experimento en un parvulario en Gennevilliers, un municipio situado al noroeste de París y una zona con grandes desigualdades sociales y económicas. En este experimento, respetó las «leyes naturales del niño» y los resultados han sido excepcionales. En dos cursos, todos los niños del curso superior y el 90% del curso inferior sabían leer y mostraron excelentes resultados en aritmética. Y no solo eso, en casa estaban más tranquilos, mantenían sus habitaciones más ordenadas y mostraban mayor interés por cuanto los rodeaba. Increíble, pero cierto. Este libro sienta las bases de una nueva manera de ver al niño, y de concebir la educación tanto en casa como en la escuela. Céline Alvarez nos enseña su experiencia y nos invita a educar al niño respetando sus leyes naturales. La revolución de la educación es posible.

Leadership in Diverse Learning Contexts
by Greer Johnson Neil DempsterThis book presents the outcomes of research and practical endeavour in some of the diverse contexts in which learning takes place: classrooms, schools, professional development settings, community projects and service sector agencies. It invites the reader to engage with two related questions of contemporary concern in the leadership field: "What can we learn about the important influence of different contexts on leadership practice and how are people brought together as collective human agents in different patterns of distributive leadership?" In doing so, this collection emphasises three of the critical concepts at play when leadership is viewed, not as position, but as activity. The three concepts are purpose, context and human agency. When this view of leadership is understood, it is always about achieving shared goals with people power, no matter the circumstances in which they are gathered together.
Leadership, Ethics and Schooling for Social Justice
by Richard Niesche Amanda KeddieIssues of social justice and equity in the field of educational leadership have become more salient in recent years. The unprecedented diversity, uncertainty and rapid social change of the contemporary global era are generating new and unfamiliar equity questions and challenges for schools and their leaders. In order to understand the moral and ethical complexity of work undertaken in the name of social justice and equity in diverse contexts, this book uses a range of different theoretical tools from the work of Michel Foucault. Rather than a prescriptive, best practice approach to leadership and social justice, this book draws on Foucault’s four-fold ethical framework, and specifically, the notions of advocacy, truth-telling and counter-conduct to critically examine the leadership work undertaken in case studies in schools in Australia and England. Our approach makes transparent the ethical work that leaders in these contexts conduct on themselves towards creating schools that can address the equity challenges of the present climate. It illuminates and enables critical analysis of the moral imperatives shaping the equity work of school leaders and, in particular, the possibilities for transformative leadership that can work to create schools and school systems that are more socially just. Overall, the book’s key aims are to: Provide an innovative and comprehensive theorising of leadership for social justice in contemporary times; Explicate the utility of key elements of Foucault’s theorising of the ethical self to the domain of educational leadership; and Provide significant practical insight into the social justice possibilities of school leadership in contemporary times through two in depth case studies
Leading Assessment for Student Success: Ten Tenets That Change Culture and Practice in Student Affairs
by Rosie Phillips Bingham Amber Garrison Duncan Daniel A. BureauWhile both committed to providing effective programs and services that help students succeed in college and beyond, and aware of the increasing demands from internal and external stakeholders that every dollar spent benefits students and contributes to the mission of higher education, student affairs professionals have little guidance about how to create and sustain the culture of assessment to achieve these goals. This book provides the practical directions for embedding assessment in the fabric of practice.The authors in this volume – all experienced senior level leaders who have established programs that exemplify a culture of evidence-based practice – identify and explicate ten tenets of practice for leading and implementing a culture of change committed to student learning and sound assessment methods. Grounded in assessment literature, the tenets are:1. Understand the Why of Assessment2. Commit to Student Learning as a Primary Focus3. Lay the Foundation for a Sustainable Assessment Culture4. Develop Strategies to Engage Staff in a Commitment to Assessment5. Provide Recognition and Accountability Structures6. Reaffirm the Importance of Assessment to Anchor Cultural Change 7. Develop Sound Assessment Plans8. Connect Assessment Plans to Divisional and Institutional Strategic Plans9. Determine the Appropriate Methods for Assessing Programs and Services10. Market Data to Leverage Buy-in, and Promote Utility to the Campus Community The basic premise of this book is that the Senior Student Affairs Officer must be the primary leader and spokesperson for this effort, both in setting the tone and keeping all members of the team accountable for implementation and the commitment of their units. The book opens with an overview of history and purpose and language of assessment, relates it to the educational mission of student affairs, and outlines the four elements necessary to start a culture of assessment: commitment, connection, consistency, and communication. In addressing the role of the Senior Student Affairs Officer, subsequent chapters address the process of gaining “buy-in” and the importance understanding the unique culture of the institution; provide guidance on creating an environment of trust, accountability, and transparency; and describe how to lay the foundations to sustainability through consistency and strong interpersonal and collaborative relationships among the staff.The book concludes by summarizing the essential assessment practices and tools that senior leaders need to be aware of – providing examples of assessment cycle templates that can be applied across departments – and outlining how to establish a strategic plan aligned with institutional mission that is linear, predictable and consistent, and aligned with institutional mission; as well as communicating results both externally and internally for the purposes of improvement.

This exciting new book explores the theory and practice of leadership connoisseurship as a human-centered endeavor and as an antidote to mechanistic, business-oriented practices.
