The Most Important Research on Urban School Reform in the Past Decade
For scholars and policy makers focused on reforming urban schools, Organizing Schools for Improvement: Lessons From Chicago may represent the most important research over the past decade of debate. This book by Anthony S. Bryk, Penny Bender Sebring, Elaine Allensworth, Stuart Luppescu, and John Q. Easton is especially noteworthy because it is urban students whom we educators have most frequently failed in the past. Our failure is even more import…
Emotional abuse of students of color: The hidden inhumanity in our schools
Illuminating and understanding the emotional abuse inflicted on many students of color is a necessity in creating conditions for their school success. However, this topic is rarely discussed among educators and those preparing educators. However, from the author's recent experiences conducting research in racially diverse schools as well as her nearly 30 years working in such schools, it is apparent that some teachers, consciously or unconsciousl…
Sometimes I feel like the problems started with desegregation’: Exploring Black superintendent perspectives on desegregation policy
This paper is drawn from a larger qualitative study that explores the perspectives of eight retired Black school superintendents who personally experienced segregated schools as students and subsequent desegregation efforts as administrators. Unlike much of the mainstream literature that extols the virtues of desegregation for Black children, their accounts tell a very different story. Their reflections suggest that although they ‘got what they f…

To begin to understand Foucault's archeology, it is first crucial to know that Foucault was not referring to archeology as an academic discipline or to any popular picture of an archeologist. Indeed, thinking of Foucault's archeology as having anything to do with digging in the earth for ancient artifacts is not useful at all. As Foucault (1972) says, The Archaeology of Knowledge “does not relate to geological excavation.” For the most part, thes…
Equity Traps: A Useful Construct for Preparing Principals to Lead Schools That Are Successful With Racially Diverse Students
The concept of equity traps evolved from a qualitative study that revealed the conscious and unconscious thinking patterns and behaviors that trap teachers, administrators, and others, preventing them from creating schools that are equitable, particularly for students of color. Although the results of this original study exposed these equity traps, merely exposing the traps is not sufficient. Hence, the purpose of this article is to offer a usefu…
