Thought-provoking, witty and completely unafraid to call out some of the most pressing issues of our times, I Heard What You Said is a timely analysis of how we can dismantle racism in the classroom and do better by all our students.________Before Jeffrey Boakye was a black teacher, he was a black student. Which means he has spent a lifetime navigating places of learning that are white by default. Since training to teach, he has often been the only black teacher at school. At times seen as a role model, at others a source of curiosity, Boakye's is a journey of exploration - from the outside looking in.In the groundbreaking I Heard What You Said, he recounts how it feels to be on the margins of the British education system. As a black, male teacher - an English teacher who has had to teach problematic texts - his very existence is a provocation to the status quo, giving him a unique perspective on the UK's classrooms.Through a series of eye-opening encounters based on the often challenging and sometimes outrageous things people have said to him or about him, Boakye reflects on what he has found out about the habits, presumptions, silences and distortions that black students and teachers experience, and which underpin British education.________'Hugely important' Baroness Doreen Lawrence'Makes a powerful case' Rt Hon Lady Hale'Deeply compelling, intellectually rigorous and essential' Nels Abbey'Personal and political, profound and playful' Darren Chetty'Written with passion, fury, knowledge and, in spite of the painful subject, wit' Patrice Lawrence
Student attrition is a persisting challenge that scholars have identified for years. The problem affects most higher education institutions worldwide regardless of structure (full-time, part-time), levels (doctoral, master, and bachelor degrees), and resources. Although many issues contribute to the problem, the student's social isolation is among the leading causes. Higher education is a multicultural learning environment with an increased student population with diverging relational and social needs and anticipations. In most cases, supervision of research students is individual teaching and guidance, allowing students and supervisors to decide the learning style to apply to fulfill the requirements. Therefore, students depend on supervisors in different areas of their learning, and their relationships catalyze successful cooperation. Even though some resourceful universities provide students with other learning agencies, the heavy load remains on the supervisors' shoulders. Unfortunately, many people join higher education without the knowledge and skills to work with their supervisors. Most do not know what information to share or the social-relational aspects required to obtain appropriate support. As a result, supervisors do not comprehend their expectations and do not support them in fulfilling what they do not know. Likewise, lacking conversation about expectations may result from the weak social relationship between supervision partners (students and supervisors). In most cases, students find more comfortable sharing their academic expectations with their supervisors over social relationships. Thus, the student's responses can benefit those with challenges communicating social relationships they expect from their supervisors. I believe the supervisors and students who review and grasp the message in this book and work toward communicating the expectations while strategizing to suit their context will fulfilling them. Nevertheless, they should create sh
Indeed, scholarly literature has communicated the challenges facing higher education students with isolation. Most have indicated that interaction with relevant people in the learning community, acceptance of students' culture, and students' willingness to learn new social-relational contextual culture can solve isolation problems. However, no literature exists guiding students on how to master the required social-relational contextual culture for their integration. As a result, almost fifty percent of students who join higher education drop out. Most fail to integrate due to failing to practice the contextual required social culture appropriately. Even though institutions have received information from stakeholders on how vital it is to support students in acquiring a sense of belonging through integration, little has been done practically on this topic. Indeed, some social-cultural aspects are hidden and unspoken, so understanding them can be challenging. Besides, universities have not seen the need to teach students silly social-cultural elements discussed in this book even when officials appreciate their importance. So, it is time to support students with silly, simple, and unspeakable social-relational information because such marginalized issues have become a primary cause of student attrition. It is not the hardship of solving algebra equations leading to student attrition, but mostly social-relational issues. Thus, students feel abandoned in many universities because they cannot integrate and remain in an isolated learning environment, especially doctoral students in humanity and art. These students normally deal with individual research projects that allow them to detach from each other and their learning agencies. Therefore, this book aims to support students with reliable and practical information to help them comprehend contextual social norms and practice them appropriately. Furthermore, it provides a step-by-step process to cope with social-cultura
Increasingly, supervising research students in higher education has become a complex business. Cooperation with supervisors has been a stumbling block for many students hindering them from acquiring their learning goals. Scholarly literature has demonstrated that the success of higher education students depends on supervisors' competencies in the field and supervision. At the same time, the structure and practices in supervision pedagogy vary depending on the institution's resources. Usually, students in most universities obtain at least two supervisors to support them in their learning journey, mostly individually. The main tasks of supervisors are to inform the individual students of their project requirements and resources available and accessible for their learning. Often, it is assumed that students are competent in formulating strategies to attain their learning goals in collaboration with their supervisors. Thus, students receive no adequate guidance to understand how to collaborate with their supervisors and other learning agencies. The deficit of knowledge about supervision has been one of the causes of student attrition in higher education and is a significant problem facing universities worldwide. The challenge has no respect for university resources or the structure of a degree, but for all. Even though failure in supervision is the primary cause of the student attrition problem, little has been done to inform students and other stakeholders of the changes in higher education learning, and the strategies to facilitate supervision pedagogy and eliminate obstacles. Therefore, the book desires to fill the knowledge gap by discussing academic supervision challenges to help those unfamiliar gain knowledge that can help them comprehend the situation for better supervision. The author demonstrates the significance of acknowledging supervision pedagogy which focuses on each student's ability as a resource and utilizes it to enhance cooperation between studen
