This article aims to explore how democratic community is manifest in schools in Korea. It also tries to examine how leadership,
specifically transformational leadership, functions in shaping a democratic community within a school. Toward this aim, we
have conducted a case study of two religious high schools in Korea. Based on the findings from the schools, we have discussed
five aspects related to democratic community and transformational leadership. When school principals’ leadership has transformational
characteristics and consistency over the years, the leaders’ mission and vision become shared values among the school members.
The shared vision and cultural values make democratic systems work effectively. This article includes implications for educational
policy and practice.

Today’s media is filled with stories of man’s inhumanity toward man. Education journals are replete with assessments of educators
as failing to meet the demands of the modern world. Jansen offers stories of hope to counterbalance the bombardment of negative
stories. His research “explores the character of leadership in transition societies”. He draws portraits of three educators,
in leadership roles, whose lives provide a moment for us to catch our breath and remember that leaders have choices about
how they will live out their roles in ways that are grounded in social justice

The intensifying globalization has made street survival more brutal and miserable for homeless children, especially in Third World countries. Sanmao, the Vagrant is a wordless picture book which tells of the adventures of a boy named Sanmao in streets of Shanghai during WWII. The essay analyzes how the artist’s ingenious visual narrative authentically anticipates the omnipresent impact of globalization on innocent children. Sanmao’s survival totally relies on his resilience and proactivity. He falls prey to unbridled exploitation and coercive and abusive treatment. Originally a comic intended for adults, the book is the artist’s furious protest against the indifferent attitude of the adult world.

Policy makers and leadership developers now admonish both aspiring and practicing educational leaders to base what they do
on evidence of “best practice”. Some argue, however, that today’s best practices stand a reasonably good chance of being unsuitable
for schools in the future. Unfortunately, effective leadership in future schools is empirically unknowable. This paper unpacks
the arguments about “best” and “next” practices concluding that there is an empirically defensible foundation for current
and future leaders.

A model examining psychological empowerment, transformational leadership and innovation for school principals is proposed
and tested within a Site (School)-Based Management environment. Developed from management literature, the model was adapted
for state school principals experiencing increased decision-making powers and accountability. Empirical results provide a
level of support for the model. ‘Role clarity’ and ‘access to resources’ were found to exert a positive influence on principals’
feelings of empowerment, though the value placed by principals on strategic information was found to have a slightly negative
influence. The influence of empowerment on transformational leadership was not found to be as strong as anticipated. The paper
includes a discussion of the implications of these findings for theory and policy development.

This paper provides a critical review essay of Ajay Sharma’s Portrait of a science teacher as a bricoleur: A case study from India. The main focus is two fold. First, arguments are presented to draw attention to how little advances in science teaching and
science learning research have impacted teachers’ practice and student achievement in the last 40 years. Second, the paper
describes how the researcher’s traditionally detached role and truncated agency may inadvertently contribute to preserving
the status quo by only documenting the Other’s struggles and challenges. I suggest that researchers need to re-conceptualize
their roles as co-agents of change if we are to assist the Other effect positive and long-lasting change in the increasingly
complex and demanding contexts in which teachers are expected to teach and students to learn.

This article reviews the work of Jong-Hsiang Yang in science education and his efforts in creating a research culture in Taiwan.
Following in Yang’s footprints, the rebuilding of science education, implementing a new science curriculum, and gaining the
academic status of science education, we go through the important years of the development of science education in Taiwan.
His leadership in introducing interpretive research methods and expanding international studies catalyzed profound changes
to science education research in Taiwan.

The author analyzes two texts, Gloria Whelan’s Homeless Bird and Deborah Ellis’s Parvana’s Journey, in an attempt to explain some of the problems and difficulties associated with those texts. The author examines Whelan’s
representations of India and finds troubling binaries associated with that text. In comparison, the author finds Ellis’s depictions
of Afghanistan more nuanced and complex. The author also discusses student reception of both texts and offers ways to problematize
some of their reactions.

Written from the vantage point of both a mother and teacher educator, the author recounts the journey taken by Sarah, her
4-year old daughter, as she is introduced to and explores map making as a means of representing and making sense of familiar
and unfamiliar places. Offering Sarah’s experience as context, the author offers both a practical and theoretical discussion
of children’s emerging geographic literacy, its relationship to identity development and the importance of understanding children’s
experience and socio-emotional development to inform pedagogy.

Dr. Sreyashi Jhumki Basu was a scholar committed to equity and social justice in science education who passed away in December
2008. In this essay, I describe Jhumki’s research and the call to action her life’s work has laid out for the science education
community. In particular, I draw attention to the role of critical science agency in learning and the democratic science pedagogy
model that Jhumki developed to support students in crafting such agency.

When Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man was published in 1952, he could not have known the impact his metaphor of invisibility would have on adolescent and YA literature.
However, upon closer inspection, the importance and prevalence of his metaphor becomes evident. Authors of adolescent and
YA literature routinely use the metaphor as an intertextual shortcut to discuss issues that shape adolescent subjectivity,
which is demonstrated through an examination of Sapphire’s Push, Virginia Hamilton’s The Planet of Junior Brown, and Robert Cormier’s Fade.

The 18 preschool teachers in the study tended to agree that preschool education for 4-year-olds should foremost be fun and engaging, not stressful. Teachers should develop curricula based on children’s interests and everyday lives, and allow children to choose their activities and to direct their own play and exploration at their own pace. The goal of preschool education should be to promote children’s social, emotional, and physical well-being, and not focus so much on academic learning.

This exploratory study examines the learning beliefs of high and low achieving, low-income Mexican-American students. Semi-structured
interviews were conducted with 11 ninth grade students. The qualitative analysis shows that students’ perceptions of their
teachers’ expectations of a “good” student or a “not so good” student did not differ along achievement lines. However, the
students’ perceptions about what it means to be a good student differentiated the low-achievers from the high-achievers. This
study’s findings may be used to inform educators about Mexican-American students’ orientation towards school and learning,
in hopes for creating more equitable educational settings where all students achieve to their fullest potential.

Preschool is an institution for cultural preservation, which responds to social change. Guided by this assumption, this study used a recent video of Chinese preschool in conjunction with the questionnaire from Preschool in Three Cultures, a study by Joseph Tobin and his colleagues in the 1980s, to examine the cultural and professional beliefs of three groups of U.S. early childhood educators (preservice, inservice non-Head Start, and inservice Head Start). We examined participants’ cultural beliefs, critical comments on the preschool, and group differences in their comments. Results show that participants’ beliefs about necessary qualities for a teacher remained stable from the 1980s in the U.S. But a shift occurred in beliefs about why society needs preschools. More education and longer employment were linked significantly to more critical comments of Chinese practice. There was a marked difference in professional and cultural beliefs by educators’ group affiliations.

Using multi-institutional data from the Cooperative Institutional Research Program’s (CIRP) annual survey of entering freshmen,
the Higher Education Research Institute’s (HERI) Faculty Surveys, campus registrars’ offices, and IPEDS data, we evaluated
the extent to which peer institutional retention climates and faculty perceived campus climates influenced individual 6-year
retention rates. We used hierarchical generalized linear models (HGLM) to examine the extent to which institutional climate
(as measured by peer institutional retention climate and faculty perceived climate), net of students’ ability, expectations,
and family socioeconomic status, influence students’ persistence behavior. We found that institutional retention climate,
as defined by a student body’s aggregated report of withdrawal intentions, did independently determine whether a student would
persist or not. While past research has overlooked peer and faculty climates, the results from this work call for the attention
of peer institutional retention climates.

This article compares the first-person narratives of two adolescent girls in the novels The Rain Catchers and The House on Mango Street. I propose that adolescent girls can use literacy to read the world around them as a text and therefore help them to form
their own identities enough to ultimately find authority in telling their own stories. I use Judith Langer’s theory of envisionment-building
as a primary lens through which to interpret the girls’ narrative work and further elucidate the feminist aspects involved
through Belenky et al.’s famous work, Women’s Ways of Knowing.

Conflicting measures of state support for postsecondary education create confusion and misunderstanding that convolute debates
about states’ postsecondary education funding. The use of multiple measures is largely unnecessary, though. A simple single
measure is constructed that adequately quantifies both states’ postsecondary need and states’ ability to pay. Specifically,
this study proposes measuring state support for postsecondary education as state postsecondary funding per high school graduate
over the previous four years per dollar of per capita income.
