Why these cases? They cover the landscape of both civil rights and civil liberties, exploring topics and situations teachers and administrators face every day. Plus they're interesting-they involve real problems of real people who are raising legal and policy issues thorny and weighty enough to have reached the highest court in the country. To read them is to take a mini course in the history of education in our nation and in the civil rights and civil liberties issues that educators and students encounter on a daily basis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eRobert Kim, an education policy expert and former civil rights lawyer, has spent much of the last two decades focused on the rights of students, as well as the legal rights and obligations of schools and educators. In \u003cem\u003eElevating Equity and Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, Bob takes a deep dive into ten cases of historical impact, providing background and information on each as well as an explanation of why it is important to know them. He brings the source material to life without overwhelming you with \"legalese\" and dos and don'ts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eFor each case, Bob provides a summary of the judicial opinion; some interesting history or perspective about the case, including more recent legal developments; the implications for educators and schools; classroom and community voices that provide insight from real teachers dealing with these topics; tips for how to be proactive; and a short list of resources to further your knowledge about the case or the topics covered in it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"text-align: start\"\u003eReading these ten cases certainly won't address every situation educators encounter. Chances are you'll be drawn to reflect on what these cases mean for your teaching practice or your school. How can they help you address the needs of a particular student? What civic lessons do they teach? What values do they impart? \u003cem\u003eElevating Equity and Justice \u003c\/em\u003ehelps educators consider the needs of all of their students and elevates the discussion, teaching, and practice of equity at school. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Heinemann","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":50025032188208,"sku":"BDodqz","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/odqz-cover.jpg?v=1763059801","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-odqz","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
