Former principal and radio broadcaster Luther Brown have recently published a book that focuses on the education system in Ontario.<\/p>\n
Luther Brown, an educator and researcher, has written\u00a0\u2018Leading from Where We Are: Challenging the Status Quo<\/strong>,\u2019 a book grounded in his doctoral research and professional experience in the largest and most diverse district in Ontario: Toronto District School Board.<\/p>\n Brown notes that he did not write the book to tell school leaders how to lead their schools, but it is an invitation to school leaders to \u201cinterrogate the professional practice\u201d in their school \u201cin light of inequitable schooling outcomes\u201d. It also invites them to \u201cmitigate the persistence of gaps between professional knowing and professional practice.\u201d<\/p>\n He says the idea for the book came to him shortly after retirement when he was asked to support the professional practice of in-school professionals.<\/p>\n \u201cWe know that students are better able to maximise their life-chances when the guiding philosophical support-system (GPS) of their school leaders includes the practice of culturally relevant and responsive pedagogy,\u201d he writes.<\/p>\n A graduate of the Mico Teachers\u2019 College in Jamaica, he holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Wisconsin and an M.Ed. and PhD from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto.
