Inequalities in the Early Years
by Bonnie Johnson Yvonne Pratt-JohnsonInequalities in the Early Years examines poverty’s effects on children and provides workable solutions for decreasing childhood inequalities through the formal education process. This powerful edited collection explores early childhood inequalities across ten disciplines: earth sciences and geography, life sciences, physical sciences, technology, mathematics, history, society and social institutions, business and economy, the arts, and sports and recreation, following Kipfer’s delineation of broad subject areas of knowledge. The volume reaches beyond the domain of education to include multiple perspectives from scholars in the aforementioned disciplines.

Inequality and Teacher Education: An International Perspective (Routledge Revivals)
by Gajendra K. VermaFirst published in 1993, this book attempts to provide a basic but challenging and rigorous introduction to the issues of inequality in teacher education affecting many of today’s societies. Education systems around the world, in common with much else, are undergoing radical change. In such times there are the almost inevitable casualties, in this case the fate of multicultural, multiracial, antiracist education. The authors argue that there is a need for teacher education to be responsive to the needs of a culturally and socially diverse society. It has become obvious that in spite of the vast amount of effort given to it over the last few decades, very little real progress has been made. By highlighting examples of good practices, this book demonstrates how they can be maintained and enhanced.
Inequality by Design: Cracking the Bell Curve Myth
by Claude S. Fischer"Inequality by Design's most important findings describe an America deeply stratified by class, an America in which equal opportunity remains only and idle dream...[It] may well after the public discussion...with a shot across the bow of the nation's policymakers."--Lingua Franca "One of the most important books on what divides America socially and economically since the work of Christopher Jencks and his Harvard colleagues nearly a quarter century ago."--Daniel Bell
Inequality in Public School Admission in Urban China: Discourses, Practices And New Solutions (Education in the Asia-Pacific Region: Issues, Concerns and Prospects #43)
by Jing LiuThis book explores and interprets discourses and practices in school admissions to public lower secondary education in urban China by utilizing a discourse analysis approach and a case study method. It identifies continuities and changes in discourses shaped by diverse forces in public lower secondary school admissions in the context of China’s social transformation from a profit-driven society to a more equitable society, and elucidates the power relationships among stakeholders in public school admissions by analysing their interplay in the process. More importantly, it exposes how current socio-economic, institutional and educational systems are shaping the engagement of stakeholders in the public school admissions process. It also presents some on-going projects intended to yield new policies and practices for more equitable public secondary education in China in the development stage of the post-2015.
Inequality in School Discipline
by Russell J. Skiba Kavitha Mediratta M. Karega RauschThis edited volume fills a critical void by providing the most current and authoritative information on what is known about disciplinary disparities. School exclusion--out-of-school suspension and expulsion in particular--remains a substantial component of discipline in our nation's schools, and those consequences continue to fall disproportionally on certain groups of learners. The negative consequences of frequent and inequitable use of school exclusion are substantial, including higher rates of academic failure, dropout, and contact with the juvenile justice system. As educators, policymakers, community leaders, and other youth-serving organizations begin the difficult work of creating more equitable school disciplinary systems, the need for effective disparity-reducing alternatives could not be more important. Drawing on the multi-year ground-breaking work of the Discipline Disparities Collaborative, the chapters in this book provide cutting edge knowledge supporting a new national imperative to eliminate race, gender, disability, and sexual orientation-based disciplinary disparities.
Inequality in the Promised Land: Race, Resources, and Suburban Schooling
by R. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoyNestled in neighborhoods of varying degrees of affluence, suburban public schools are typically better resourced than their inner-city peers and known for their extracurricular offerings and college preparatory programs. Despite the glowing opportunities that many families associate with suburban schooling, accessing a district's resources is not always straightforward, particularly for black and poorer families. Moving beyond class- and race-based explanations, Inequality in the Promised Land focuses on the everyday interactions between parents, students, teachers, and school administrators in order to understand why resources seldom trickle down to a district's racial and economic minorities. Rolling Acres Public Schools (RAPS) is one of the many well-appointed suburban school districts across the United States that has become increasingly racially and economically diverse over the last forty years. Expanding on Charles Tilly's model of relational analysis and drawing on 100 in-depth interviews as well participant observation and archival research, R. L'Heureux Lewis-McCoy examines the pathways of resources in RAPS. He discovers that—due to structural factors, social and class positions, and past experiences—resources are not valued equally among families and, even when deemed valuable, financial factors and issues of opportunity hoarding often prevent certain RAPS families from accessing that resource. In addition to its fresh and incisive insights into educational inequality, this groundbreaking book also presents valuable policy-orientated solutions for administrators, teachers, activists, and politicians.
Inequality, Education, and Social Exclusion in the Welfare State: Pedagogical Responses from the Nordic Countries (Routledge Research in the Sociology of Education)
by Kirsten Elisa Petersen Niels Rosendal JensenFocusing specifically on educational contexts, this volume sheds light on how the increasing inequalities and issues of social exclusion found in the processes and systems of Nordic welfare states have a detrimental impact on the well-being and development opportunities of children and young people.Presenting a broad range of empirical and theoretical research conducted within a variety of institutional contexts – such as day care, school, and leisure pedagogy, as well as in more domestic, disadvantaged settings – chapters analyse problems and issues which foster inequality within pedagogy and education in predominantly Danish, and more broadly Nordic, welfare state contexts. Using insights from various scientific disciplines such as psychology, sociology, and anthropology, the volume discusses how these processes are acted out not only within welfare education systems but more broadly within social and educational policy legislation, directly affecting decisions made for children and young people. Ultimately the volume looks to the wider international context to argue that inequality cannot be analysed solely in relation to income and discusses different forms of inequality stemming from liberal, conservative, and social democratic welfare state regimes in order to recommend implications for future research.This book will be of interest to researchers, academics, and postgraduate students in the fields of sociology of education, childhood education, and social inequalities within education more broadly. Policymakers in these fields will also find the book useful.
Inequality, Innovation and Reform in Higher Education: Challenges of Migration and Ageing Populations (Lifelong Learning Book Series #25)
by Hans G. Schuetze Maria Slowey Tanya ZubrzyckiIn the broader context of lifelong learning and widening access to higher education this book focuses on ethical, educational and organizational implications of three main dimensions: first, contemporary migration patterns and issues of citizenship; second, global ageing of the world’s population; and, third, changing patterns of the life course.Themes addressed in this book include the following: · The implications of contemporary global migration patterns for higher education· The implications of the increasing proportion of older age cohorts in the populations of most developed countries (the ‘longevity dividend’);· Conversely, in some developing countries what are the implications of growing proportions of younger populations (the ‘demographic dividend’)?What are the consequences of such demographic changes for the labor market and associated knowledge and skill requirements? To what extent might some demographic developments lead to a shrinking higher education landscape – in terms of numbers of institutions and/or range and scale of provision? What are the consequences of these trends for finance, governance and management strategies of higher education institutions?Addressing the above questions requires genuinely interdisciplinary responses. The authors therefore draw on comparative policy studies, pedagogy, sociology, economics, technology, demography, history and law. In addition to bringing new conceptual approaches to these important issues, and associated critical policy analysis, the book also includes examples of innovative responses from a range of countries and institutions.“The powerful synergy of the longevity revolution and the technology revolution necessitates a corresponding education revolution. It is clear that the educational assets acquired in youth and early adulthood no longer provide sufficient currency for longer, big change impacted lives. This timely book examines the benefits of creating an inclusive, rights-based culture of learning at every stage of life. It is vital that all individuals gain the necessary intellectual and emotional skills for a rapidly evolving present and an unclear future. Highly recommended reading for policy makers, managers, practitioners and researchers across a range of disciplines.” Alexandre Kalache, MD, PhD, Co-President, International Longevity Centre (ILC) Global Alliance, President ILC-Brazil, HelpAge International Global Ambassador on Ageing “How can we understand the current dynamics of migrations and demographic trends to adapt HE access policies accordingly? By bringing together empirical research in different countries, this book offers an essential insight on this very sensitive issue for both individuals and their societies. A must read for researchers and policy makers.” Gaële Goastellec, Chair, Board of Governors, Consortium of Higher Education Researchers, Observatoire Science, Policy and Society, University of Lausanne, Switzerland “This volume addresses two issues of growing significance to society generally, ageing and migration, and their implications for higher education. The contributions cover an admirably wide range of countries, shedding different lights on these common themes. The book sets a challenging and informed agenda which policy-makers and institutional leaders would do well to take seriously.” Tom Schuller, former Dean of Lifelong Learning at Birkbeck, University of London, and Head of the Centre for Educational Research and Innovation at OECD “Auguste Comte famously observed that demography is destiny. This superb volume examines the powerful impact of two global demographic trends—the unprecedented migration of peoples and aging p
Inequality, Poverty, Education
by Couze Venn Francesca AshurstThis book challenges the practice of exclusion by uncovering its roots in 19th century social and educational policy targeting poor children.

Inequality, Power and School Success: Case Studies on Racial Disparity and Opportunity in Education (Routledge Research in Educational Equality and Diversity)
by Michael Gottfried Gilberto ConchasThis volume highlights issues of power, inequality, and resistance for Asian, African American, and Latino/a students in distinct U.S. and international contexts. Through a collection of case studies it links universal issues relating to inequality in education, such as Asian, Latino, and African American males in the inner-city neighborhoods, Latina teachers and single mothers in California, undocumented youth from Mexico and El Salvador, immigrant Morrocan youth in Spain, and immigrant Afro-Caribbean and Indian teenagers in New York and in London. The volume explores the processes that keep students thriving academically and socially, and outlines the patterns that exist among individuals—students, teachers, parents—to resist the hegemony of the dominant class and school failure. With emphasis on racial formation theory, this volume fundamentally argues that education, despite inequality, remains the best hope of achieving the American dream.
Inevitability of AI Technology in Education: Futurism Perspectives for Education for the Next Two Decades
by Orit Hazzan Yoav ArmonyThis book layouts historic and future perspectives at the introduction of technology into education systems: On the one hand, the book attempts to explain why despite numerous attempts, technology has struggled to integrate successfully into the education system for over a century; on the other hand, it explores whether this trend will persist in the foreseeable future, questioning if emerging technologies, like virtual reality or Gen-AI will ever be embraced by education systems worldwide, and introducing a hypothesis that these technologies will become inevitable so that education systems will have a little choice in adopting them. The underlying perspective is that education systems need to prepare for this new future and better start doing so now. The book encompasses three key areas: education, technology, and future studies, with a focus on how technology will shape the future of education. It begins by examining past failures of integrating technology into education, analyzing the reasons behind these setbacks. It progresses to assess the potential integration of future technologies (10-20 years from now), exploring a feasible scenario and the force implications on learning, teachers, and the system. Examining recent attempts to implement technology in education reveals numerous reasons for failure. A significant contributing factor appears to be inherent conflicts within the education system's fundamental structure. These conflicts, involving goals, curricula, organizational structure, pedagogy, and student management, prevent the system from embracing reforms or new technologies. Envisioning a future where technology will deeply 'know' the students, 'sense' their environment, 'understand' the context and the situation, 'explain' and 'advise' them on the best suitable behavior or activity, the book anticipates applications in education ranging from ensuring personal safety and health to enhancing knowledge acquisition and decision-making. As the book explores the potential inevitability of technology in education, it recognizes the transformative impact on teachers and students and outlines possible desire scenario to aid in preparation, such as, personalized education to better suit student's capabilities, needs, and desires; how to motivate students to learn in an environment where all tasks can be done by machines; ethical issues; the new role of the school, the educator, and the system, etc. This book is especially suitable for teachers, educators, public officials, and anyone interested in the future of education.
Inexpressible: Hesed and the Mystery of God's Lovingkindness
by Michael CardGod's identity is beyond what we could ever fully express in human words. But Scripture uses one particular word to describe the distinctiveness of God's character: the Hebrew word hesed. Hesed is a concept so rich in meaning that it doesn't translate well into any single English word or phrase. Michael Card unpacks the many dimensions of hesed, often expressed as lovingkindness, covenant faithfulness, or steadfast love. He explores how hesed is used in the Old Testament to reveal God's character and how he relates to his people. Ultimately, the fullness of hesed is embodied in the incarnation of Jesus. As we follow our God of hesed, we ourselves are transformed to live out the way of hesed, marked by compassion, mercy, and faithfulness. Discover what it means to be people of an everlasting love beyond words.
