This book is a curated collection of international chapters focused on the reform of K-12 schools. Three key, yet different cultural, economic, and political settings are highlighted: Australia, the UK, and the US. Within their own context, each author details the required reforms that would maximize learning for all students. The intersectionalities of factors such a race, gender, class, ethnicity, disability, language, and economic inequities, are interrogated for their impact on the efficacy of reform strategies. Authors explore both a range of dysfunctional factors which have historically limited the efficacy of school reform initiatives, and detail a variety of forward-looking and cutting edge alternative reforms. Thus, this text can serve to stimulate a much need dialogue about the reconceptualization of schools in the future. Moreover, the cross-cultural analysis can focus this dialogue on both the similarities and differences in varying cultural settings.

About the Author
Dr. William T. Pink is Professor Emeritus of Educational Policy and Leadership studies in the College of Education at Marquette University in the US, where he has served as both department chair and as director of the doctoral program. He has published widely in the areas of delinquency, sociology of education, urban education, and educational reform. He was the co-editor of The Urban Review (Springer), from 1978 until 2017, co-editor of a book series entitled Understanding Education, Social Justice, and Policy (Hampton Press), and is co-editor of the book series entitled Education, Equity, Economy (Springer). His most recent books are Cultural Matters: Lesson Learned from Field Studies of Several Leading School Reform Strategies (Hampton Press, 2005), The International Handbook of Urban Education (Springer, 2007), Schools for Marginalized Youth: An International Perspective (Hampton Press, 2015, Education, Equity, Economy: Crafting a New Intersection (Springer, 2016), and The Second International Handbook of Urban education (Springer, 2017). He was recently appointed as an associate editor of the Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Education (Oxford University Press, online platform), and as the editor-in-chief of the text entitled The Oxford Encyclopedia of School Reform (Oxford University Press, 2022).
Dr. Kim Beasy has worked in the higher education sector for over a decade and holds a position at the University of Tasmania as Senior Lecturer with the School of Education. Her work explores how participation by diverse stakeholders in social systems contributes toward positive social, economic and environmental outcomes for all. The social and cultural dimensions of schooling are of particular interest with a focus on the ways that partnerships within systems can support transitions toward sustainable futures. Her previous work has included collaborations with a number of universities internationally including the University of Melbourne, University of Waikato, University of Otago, University of Gothenburg and Humboldt University to investigate integration of education for sustainability in tertiary education courses. Kim uses on a range of social theories and qualitative research methodologies with academic, industry and government partners. She has received funding to advance understandings of how to embed sustainability thinking and practice into work and community cultures. Her ideas are used in schools, government departments and in community organizations throughout Australia to inform policy and practice related to transitioning toward sustainable futures
Dr. Meg Maguire taught for many years in inner London schools, including a period as an acting headteacher. Her research interests include the challenges of inner-city schooling, educational policy and practice, social justice issues, the life and work of school teachers, and teacher education. She is a Professor of sociology of education in the department of Education and Professional Studies at King’s College London, UK. She has written more than forty journal articles, and her most recent books include Ethics and Education Research (Sage, 2014), The Body, Embodiment, and Education: An Interdisciplinary Approach (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2021), and The Palgrave Handbook of Teacher Education Research (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022).
Dr. Kitty te Riele is a Professor and leads the research portfolio in the Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment, at the University of Tasmania in Australia. Kitty is internationally respected as a leading expert on alternative educational provision and on education in the context of youth justice. Much of her research examines and supports the work of flexible learning programs to enable marginalised young people to improve their life chances. In addition, her research at the intersection of youth justice and education highlights ways to support young people to connect with education when they appear before a criminal court, while in custody, and when they leave custody. All this work has benefited immensely from collaboration with esteemed colleagues in Australia and internationally. Kitty’s research is underpinned by the conviction that reforms that make schooling work better for marginalised students have significant potential to improve schooling for most students in conventional schools as well. Kitty is committed to research that makes a difference in practice and therefore often works in close partnership with organisations that serve young people and communicates her research for a wide audience. In addition, Kitty has a strong interest in research ethics, having published on this topic as well as making practical contributions as a member of research ethics review committees in universities and for a state education department. Her books (with valued colleagues) include Harnessing the Transformative Power of Education (2020, Brill), Reimagining schooling for education: Socially Just Alternatives (2017, Palgrave Macmillan), and Ethics and Education Research (2015, SAGE).
Dr. Emma Towers is a Lecturer in Education Policy in the School of Education, Communication and Society at King’s College London. Before moving into higher education, she worked as a primary school teacher in London. Her research interests include education policy as it relates to teachers’ work and career trajectories; teacher retention and wellbeing; urban schools and classroom practice; and postgraduate student identity and wellbeing.

(2) A ‘consumer' in the sense of the following regulations is every natural person who concludes a legal transaction which, to an overwhelming extent, cannot be attributed to either his commercial or independent professional activities. The term ‘businessman' refers to every natural person, legal person or legally responsible partnership that concludes a legal transaction in pursuance of his/its independent professional or commercial activity.
§ 2 Conclusion of the contract
(1) The subject-matter of the contract is the selling of products .

(3) The contract shall become effective via the online shopping cart system as follows:
The products intended for purchase are moved to the "shopping cart". You can select the "Shopping Cart" using the appropriate buttons on the navigation bar and make changes there at any time.
After calling up the "Checkout" page and entering the required personal data and payment and shipping conditions, all order information is then displayed again on the order summary page.
Before submitting the order, you have the ability once more to review or change any information here (you may also use the "back" button on the Internet browser), or to cancel the purchase.
By clicking the "Buy now" button to submit the order, you declare your legally binding acceptance of the order which makes the contract effective.

Even if you do not comply with this request, it shall have no effect on your legal warranty claims.
(3) If a characteristic of the goods deviates from the objective requirements, the deviation shall only be deemed to be agreed if you were informed of the same by us before submitting the contractual declaration and the deviation was expressly and separately agreed between the contracting parties.
§ 5 Choice of law, place of fulfilment, jurisdiction
(1) German law shall apply. This choice of law only applies to customers if it does not result in the revocation of the protection guaranteed by the mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which the respective customer's usual place of residence is located (benefit-of-the-doubt principle).
(2) If you are not a consumer, but a businessman, a legal entity under public law or an institutional fund governed by public law, our place of business is the place of jurisdiction as well as the place of fulfilment for all services that follow from the business relationships that exist with us.
