Abstract:
The prevalence of drugs on the campuses of our nation's schools is of great concern to parents, educators, and society in general. To combat the rising tide of drug use a school district in Vernonia, Oregon passed a mandatory random drug testing policy which was later upheld by the United States Supreme Court. This research studied the response to this court case by surveying randomly selected superintendents in five geographic regions of the nation. The data sought to ascertain if any policy actions would be taken in response to the United States Supreme Court decision and whether superintend

Abstract:
The educational reform movement in the United States (1983-2024) presented school district superintendents with a wide array of challenges and opportunities. Initially, state and federal policymakers’ called for draconian school and district level accountability and endorsed he notion of top-down management. However, the reality of implementing district-wide, systemic changes focused on improving student learning outcomes influenced a shift in superintendents’ role from manager to teacher-scholar.

What is less well known is how superintendents’ leadership may be expressed very differently given the varying contexts in which they work. The purpose of this cross-national study was to identify the specific variations in context which influence superintendents’ leadership, and to examine how superintendents respond to these variations in context.

Abstract:
Abstract This chapter presents two case studies of community singing activity during the Great War, during which community singing was promoted as a wholesome pastime and patriotic activity not only in US Army and Navy training camps but in civilian communities large and small. By the end of the war, community singing had become a mainstream activity. In Flint, Michigan, George Oscar Bowen (1872–1957) was hired by the Community Music Association (CMA) to develop programming in support of its aims. Flint was a prosperous automobile manufacturing city of around 110,000 inhabitants, and many of the plant workers, most of whom came from Eastern Europe, were new immigrants to the United States. The CMA was founded, in part, to help instill patriotism among these new Americans. As director, Bowen led large group sings in the high school stadium as well as smaller noontime sing-alongs in the factories during the workers’ lunch hour. In Baltimore, community singing activities were spearheaded by May Garrettson Evans (1866–1947), founder and superintendent of the Peabody Preparatory Division, and music educator Henrietta Baker Low (1869–1960). During the Great War, Evans and Low left public singing activities to the men of the city but maintained an active singing program within the walls of the Prep. By considering the activities of these organizers in parallel, we gain insight into the gendered spheres of wartime community singing.

Abstract:
Women's representation in school leadership positions in India, and of Black women in the United States, remains unexplored. This chapter addresses the realities and complexities of women leaders in school education and develops a narrative based on current trends and anticipated challenges for the future. Existing research in educational leadership in schools, case studies, and interviews tend to focus on developing a coherent understanding of the topic. The representation of women in the school, from teachers to leaders, is an inverted pyramid. This chapter aims to provide an overview of how women school leaders from India and the USA manage crises, navigate politics, establish policies and budgets, and where the constraints lie at the school board and family level. Finally, using the grounded theory framework, the authors will present a pattern of women's leadership similarities, differences, and uniqueness in the context of both countries.

Abstract Although research in the field of general music education has customarily focused on school-based music making, it is increasingly apparent that there is value in considering the variety of ways in which music is learned, practiced, and valued in the world outside the classroom. This chapter explores musical engagements, intersections, and interfaces of community and schools in North America. The author investigates community music as culturally prescribed, context sensitive, dynamic, and adaptable. Central to the chapter is a descriptive typology of contexts that may be part of a young person’s musical world in the United States and Canada. Indeed, the impetus for considering school-community links frequently arises from the demographics of a given classroom and the desire to promote relevant and significant musical opportunities. Vignettes and case studies are interwoven with current research to illustrate diverse strategies for school and community engagements.

The chapter focuses on the IDEA disability category of emotional disturbance (ED), which ranks fifth among school-aged students in the United States that have been diagnosed with an exceptionality. ED is a disability that, due to severe behavioral and mental health issues, affects a student's ability to succeed academically in school, which many times leads to the student not finishing high school. The chapter explains that most service delivery models for students who are classified as ED occur in a resource room or self-contained classroom model. Two case studies demonstrate services within such models that have been found to be successful. The chapter also includes a discussion on specific intervention strategies that can assist teachers working with ED students.

In 1981, the National Commission on Excellence in Education identified “widespread public perception that something is seriously remiss in our educational system” (Fiske, 2008). Thirty years later, in 2011, Harvard School of Education's Pathways to Prosperity Project states “In an era in which education has never been more important to economic success, the U.S. has fallen behind many other nations in educational attainment and achievement.” Learning-centered learning is not a new concept, with roots dating back to the progressive movement of early 1900's, gaining prominence in post-modern education with Nation at Risk: The Imperative for Educational Reform. A major focus of applied learning theory in post-modern education is preparing learners for a profession, a basis for achieving economic independence.

This chapter focuses on specific learning disabilities (SLDs), which is the most common type of designated disability among school-aged students in the United States. SLD is a disability that can have devastating effects on a student's learning ability, as in the most severe cases, the SLD student may remember little, if anything, about what he or she has learned; may have difficulties focusing on even one thing; may not be able to read above an elementary level; and may live in isolation due to poor social and motivational skills. This chapter discusses the service delivery models for students who have SLD and provides two case studies of models that can be successful if implemented properly. Finally, the chapter presents intervention strategies to assist the general education teacher when working with students with SLD.

Abstract:
This chapter explores four different models of school–community relations: co-optation, management, engagement, and coalition. These models are derived from qualitative case studies of public and private schools, including magnet schools, Catholic schools, workplace schools, and neighbourhood schools, located in urban and suburban contexts in the United States. Each model includes four elements that define the nature, quality, and intensity of association between schools and their communities — its goals, functions, relationships, and outcomes — and are reflected in the organizational practices and priorities of the schools. The chapter examines these models to consider how schools' cultures and organizational priorities coalesce to produce particular models of school–community relations. It also considers how these models are mapped on to different kinds of schools and what the implications might be regarding the types of relationships formed between families and schools for Jewish day school education worldwide.
