Call for Manuscripts - NNER Journal 2019

#YESALLWOMEN:
The Role of Women & Girls in Fostering Democracy in Schools

The 2019 NNER Journal, Education in a Democracy, will explore periods of focus on women’s access and achievement within the educational arena and opportunities where the field of education might prioritize an inclusive study of the issues, challenges, and social gains (contemporary and historic) impacting the educational experience of women and girls.

Exposing the Inequities: What are the issues? What are the needs? If balance across fundamental social issues is critical to the publics’ perceived road to success, we must first seek balance in our education leadership. While research suggests that educational preparation, professional mentorship, response to job demands, personal life status, and career trajectory for men and women are similar, “men are still four times more likely than women to serve in the most powerful position in education, and both women and men of color are still grossly underrepresented” (Robinson, Shakeshaft, Grogan & Newcomb, 2017, np). Furthermore, women make up an average of 75% of education professionals, but hold only 30% of the leadership positions in education (Morey, 2017). Beyond issues concerning women in positions of educational leadership, we also wrestle with significant problems of school pushout among African American girls. Morris (2016) argued that the traditional framework of the “school to prison pipeline” has largely focused on the experiences and conditions affecting Black males. We continue to find that adopting a one-dimensional gender lens to address important work on inequality, exclusion, and the pushing of students away from schools and into systems of criminal justice invariably limit our full understanding of this phenomenon.

Initial submission due to editor by June 15th.

Museum Launches FREE Online Curriculum

10813995692?profile=original

When you come to a fork in the road, take it. - Yogi Berra
 
Dear Friends,

We're here at the fork. While the doors to the Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center are temporarily closed, our commitment to sustaining Yogi's values has never been stronger. Respect, teamwork, perseverance, humility - these are the qualities that will see us through this crisis. Together.
 
That's why we're launching the first part of a brand-new ONLINE EDUCATION CURRICULUM that is FREE for teachers, parents, grandparents, caregivers and students - anyone with internet has access.
  • Lesson plans for middle and high school students leverage sports as an engaging vehicle for online learning.
  • Unit topics include IMMIGRATION and RACE, with additional subject areas to come.
  • Activities, print-outs, videos, photos and supplementary resources are included.
Our hope is that these online lesson plans will help sustain Yogi's legacy of respect and kindness - a legacy too big to be contained within the walls of one Museum - as we weather this as one team. In other words:
 
"It ain't over..."
