Educational institutions, and in particular educational leaders, play critical roles in identifying and rectifying the many inequities that oppress, marginalize, and exclude individual students, educational actors, and some minoritized groups in Canadian education. Leading for Equity and Social Justice provides a deep look at some of these inequities and injustices and offers transformative leadership as one way for leaders to stimulate, support, and foster equitable and socially just practices in educational institutions. This collection emphasizes the systemic nature of inequality and supports the necessity of systemic change to target not only individuals but also structures, policies, and far-reaching practices. Focusing on various marginalized groups – including the Indigenous community, LGBTQ2S+ peoples, refugees, newcomers, and specific groups of teachers – chapters explore transformative leadership in practice and how to achieve inclusion, respect, and excellence in schools. Arguing that leadership involves much more than simply putting policy into practice, Leading for Equity and Social Justice promotes the need for leaders to recognize their role as advocates and activists.
The Oxford Handbook of the Canadian Constitution provides an ideal first stop for Canadians and non-Canadians seeking a clear, concise, and authoritative account of Canadian constitutional law. The Handbook is divided into six parts: Constitutional History, Institutions and Constitutional Change, Aboriginal Peoples and the Canadian Constitution, Federalism, Rights and Freedoms, and Constitutional Theory. Readers of this Handbook will discover some of the distinctive features of the Canadian constitution: for example, the importance of Indigenous peoples and legal systems, the long-standing presence of a French-speaking population, French civil law and Quebec, the British constitutional heritage, the choice of federalism, as well as the newer features, most notably the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Section Thirty-Five regarding Aboriginal rights and treaties, and the procedures for constitutional amendment. The Handbook provides a remarkable resource for comparativists at a time when the Canadian constitution is a frequent topic of constitutional commentary. The Handbook offers a vital account of constitutional challenges and opportunities at the time of the 150th anniversary of Confederation.
This paper investigates the contributions of the school and of the family to the success of children from exogamous families at Ecole Emilie-Tremblay. Three areas of parental involvement are defined: academic, sociocultural and political. To explore the parent's influence within each of these areas, interviews with exogamous parents and questionnaires for students were designed accordingly. The contributions of the school are analysed in terms of adaptation to its clientele. Interviews with the principal, the teachers and trustees of the French school board were conducted. The findings are expressed in terms of family and school patterns. Interpretations as to how exogamous parents are contributing to their child's education in the light of their first language are revealed. Questions are raised about the danger of forming semi lingual adults if neither the English nor the French language is mastered. Different avenues to adapt to exogamous families and support students are explored.
A resource handbook is presented that provides an overview of parent and community involvement to assist local and state education agencies, higher education institutions, and other nonprofit organizations in enhancing the partnership between school and home for the benefit of minority language group students. The guide covers the following topics: establishing and maintaining effective parent and community involvement, Title VII programs, the Federal bilingual education Part C research agenda, and related resources. The section on Title VII programs with an emphasis on parent training describes the related legislation and parameters for capacity-building (basic) grants, demonstration projects, and parent training programs, also listing them by state. The section on program implementation cites three examples of parent training programs. The section on the Part C research agenda outlines the perceived research needs and summarizes a study of parental involvement in four Federal education programs. The section on resources gives the addresses of Title VII resources (bilingual education multifunctional support centers; evaluation, dissemination and assessment centers; the National Clearinghouse for Bilingual Education, and state education agencies) and other associations, organizations, and institutes. A bibliography of relevant journal articles from 1979-83 is appended. (MSE)
In this third, fully revised edition, the 10 volume Encyclopedia of Language and Education offers the newest developments, including an entirely new volume of research and scholarly content, essential to the field of language teaching and learning in the age of globalization. In the selection of topics and contributors, the Encyclopedia reflects the depth of disciplinary knowledge, breadth of interdisciplinary perspective, and diversity of socio-geographic experience in the language and education field. Throughout, there is an inclusion of contributions from non-English speaking and non-western parts of the world, providing truly global coverage. Furthermore, the authors have sought to integrate these voices fully into the whole, rather than as special cases or international perspectives in separate sections. The Encyclopedia is a necessary reference set for every university and college library in the world that serves a faculty or school of education, as well as being highly relevant to the fields of applied and socio-linguistics. The publication of this work charts the further deepening and broadening of the field of language and education since the publication of the first edition of the Encyclopedia in 1997 and the second edition in 2008.
This paper outlines the main issues in establishing a system of French language education. It is not intended to provide definitive answers to the questions raised but rather to foster discussion of these issues among interested parties.
