Brown, Pamela D. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2022
When parents push back against educators' comments or recommendations about their children, those parents may actually be reacting to a long history of negative interactions with schools. This is especially true when Black parents are interacting with white educators. Research has shown that teachers, who are predominately white, tend to…

Jonathan E. Collins – Phi Delta Kappan, 2024
Fifty years after the birth of hip-hop, Jonathan E. Collins considers how hip-hop can transform U.S. education. Many schools have barred hip-hop and disciplined students who use it. But these restrictions have been built on flimsy premises that ignore the beauty and complexity of the art form. Embracing and incorporating hip-hop can improve…

Warne, Russell T. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
Recent findings in behavioral genetics and technological advances have the potential to alter education administration in ways that were inconceivable just a decade ago.

Rymes, Betsy – Phi Delta Kappan, 2020
Carelessly used language can create offense and miscommunication, so it's important for students and teachers alike to pay attention to the language they use.

Farag, Antony – Phi Delta Kappan, 2023
The suburbs are on the frontlines of a politicized culture war with critical race theory (CRT) at its center. States are passing legislation censoring teachers and administrators from using CRT in schools. This war threatens the intellectual freedom of educators and school leaders. The voices of the teachers, especially teachers of color, are…

Labaree, David F. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
The American system of schooling has been remarkably resistant to change, with most changes coming in the form of tinkering around the edges. Large-scale reform that alters what David Tyack and Larry Cuban (1995) referred to as the "grammar of schooling" has tended to fizzle out. David Labaree suggests that the practices that are most…

Labaree, David F. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2023
Public schooling in the 19th century cultivated in students a shared sense of identity as citizens with a common culture. However, posits David Labaree, U.S. schools are less effective than they used to be at serving this purpose, making their value to the nation-state open to questioning. Labaree considers three common functions that public…

Porosoff, Lauren – Phi Delta Kappan, 2018
What teachers write about students has enormous potential to affect their lives. Lauren Porosoff encourages teachers to use their words to empower students to take an active role in their own learning. When teachers use adjectives to describe students, they may be attaching certain fixed characteristics to those students. Verbs, on the other hand,…

Goodman, Joan F. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2021
Teachers are assigned a multitude of responsibilities they do not want, for which they are poorly suited, and that disrupt their primary roles.

Gross, Magdalena H.; Terra, Luke – Phi Delta Kappan, 2018
All modern nation-states have periods of difficult history that teachers fail to address or address inadequately. The authors present a framework for defining difficult histories and understanding what makes them difficult. These events 1) are central to a nation's history, 2) contradict accepted histories or values, 3) connect with present…

Adolescent stress, anxiety, and self-harm behaviors are on the rise, and the consequences have significant implications for how youth engage in school.

Social scientist Matt Rafalow observed three California middle schools where…
