We’re More Than Just Black History Month
Diverse-by-design schools—educational institutions that explicitly name diversity as part of their mission statement—comprise an increasing number of state authorized schools in the United States and have consequently shifted school design in the K–12 school sector. Through a qualitative data collection, including a visual culture audit, this paper highlights how one dual language school, despite its diverse-by-design mission, did not recognize B…
Swimming Between the Rocks
Diverse-by-design (DbD) schools intentionally recruit students to create a racially/socioeconomically diverse student population. They seek to address historic segregation patterns in neighborhoods and build bridges across differences by intentionally developing diverse learning environments. DbD schools often demonstrate an increase in academic outcomes for youth, yet no valid reliable tools exist to investigate how these schools are evaluating …
Understanding Barriers to Parent Involvement Through a Postcolonial lens
We used the emerging postcolonial frame of plantation pedagogy to understand parent involvement within urban Bahamian schools. We report on survey (parents, n = 377; teachers, n = 96), interviews (n = 33), and forum (n = 17) data to identify barriers and solutions to involvement. Findings demonstrate pervasive plantation ideologies and practices that shape interactions between parents and schools. We discuss our findings in relation to social and…
Examining Student Gendered Experiences with Parent Involvement in The Bahamas
Within English-speaking Caribbean K-12 schooling systems, there has been a consistent trend of boys performing at a lower academic standard than girls. Caribbean scholars suggest approaching gendered achievement patterns from multiple perspectives, dimensions, and methodologies to help clarify the inequities that are prevalent in Caribbean schooling. To address this call, I narrow attention onto the Bahamian family context and raise the question …

Measuring DEI within workplaces
BECO designed an Equity Audit tool to measure racial diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within workplaces. The tool has three versions (K-12 schools, For-Profits, and Non-Profits) and is currently undergoing the Standard Setting Process. This study reports on quantitative and qualitative findings for For-Profits and Non-Profits and by doing so, extends the conversation regarding the theoretical, empirical, and practical issues we encounter wi…
Bahamian Fathers' Involvement with Their Child’s Schooling
This study examined characteristics of Bahamian fathers’ involvement with schooling using data from a comprehensive study on parent involvement within one Bahamian community. We triangulated data from parent survey (N = 91 males, N = 278 females) and community interview data (N = 33 community members) to compare fathers to mothers, examine whether fathers living in the same home as their child had an impact on their involvement with schooling, an…
Examining measurement equivalency within the Latin American module of the International Civic Competence Study 2009
The International Civic and Citizenship Education Study (ICCS) studies are intercontinental studies on the civic education of youth from Asia, Europe, and Latin America. Before we engage in comparative studies on youth from different world regions, we must first establish the equivalency of the scales and items within the databases. The purpose of this study was to examine the level of differential functioning on the Attitudes Towards Neighborhoo…

Urban Elementary Single-Sex Math Classrooms
This study utilized a mixed-methods approach to holistically examine single-sex and coeducational urban elementary mathematics classes through situated cognitive theory. Participants came from two urban low-income Midwestern elementary schools with a high representation of minority students ( n = 77 sixth graders, n = 4 teachers, n = 2 principals). Findings demonstrate that African American girls made more math achievement gains in single-sex cla…
Risky behavior among Black Caribbean and Black African adolescents in England
It is important that social workers and policy-makers recognize ethnicity in making general preventative decisions for adolescents. Second, class does not have a common effect on adolescent problem behaviors as often believed. Finally, black adolescents' communities might contain important protective factors that ought to be extensively explored. Conversely, Mixed adolescents' communities might contain more risk factors that ought to be addressed
