Do you sometimes wonder what you and your school stand for? Have you ever felt that important issues lurk beneath the surface, but you lack the capacity to bring them into focus? Tilting Education will inspire, challenge, and empower those who want to help lead a quiet revolution in schools. The book examines some of the most interesting ideas found in psychology, philosophy, sport, the arts, and economics to raise fundamental questions about what lessons we should want young people to learn and how these lessons could best be taught. Setting out a model for developing more sustainable and kinder schools, the book focuses on a range of issues such as value and success, effective planning, the sensible use of data, staff training and motivation, communication, diversity, and ethics. Each chapter encourages the reader to think deeply about their priorities for education and provides practical strategies that will motivate staff, reduce workload pressure, and improve learning and teaching. Imaginative and creative leaders of academic, pastoral, and senior teams will gain insights and tips from Tilting Education to rebalance the perception of educational value in their schools. More than a check list of dos and do nots, this is a book that will change the way you think about your school. It will inspire and support you to make it a better place, which will serve your whole school community with kindness, into the future.

When it passed Title IX of the Civil Rights Act in 1972, Congress seemed to be doing something laudable and also long overdue-prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in America's schools. But thirty years later, a law designed to guarantee equal opportunity has become the most explicit, government-enforced quota regime in America. Tilting the Playing Field is a trenchant insider's look at how one law--and its unintended consequences--has affected our view of sports, sex, and schools.

Students of color and those of lower economic backgrounds and of underrepresented groups appear to face a disadvantage when they transition from high schools into colleges. These students tend to have lower academic preparation than white students, which leads to higher levels of stress and anxiety, as well as an increased placement in remedial courses, which negatively impacts their graduation rates. As institutions become aware of these facts and take appropriate measures to improve educational experiences, they must implement Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) initiatives in order to provide equal access to education. Integrating Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT): An Effective Tool for Providing Equitable Opportunity in Higher Education provides information on Transparency in Learning and Teaching (TILT) concepts and how they can be used in course development to improve student learning and performance. It focuses on bringing positive learning experiences to college students, especially first-generation students, which can lead to higher levels of academic success. It strongly advocates for transparent education and provides guidance for overcoming the existing accessibility gap in higher education. Covering topics such as business education, online learning platforms, and teaching modalities, this book is an indispensable resource for academicians, faculty developers, administrators, instructional designers, professors, and researchers.
