Dr. Matthew Militello Publishes Two Books for Educators
Matthew Militello, Wells Fargo Distinguished Professor in Educational Leadership recently published “Reframing community partnerships in education: Uniting the power of place and wisdom of people” (Routledge). This book is for educators who dare to do things differently. It is an invitation to engage in a series of innovative teaching, learning, and service processes that employ life-changing pedagogical practices for the purpose of engaging local community members as agents who give shape to the schools, organizations, and communities in which they work and live. The story of the Community Learning Exchange (CLE) challenges us to disrupt traditional practice. This work is rooted in the goodness of people, and it encourages participants to solve their own problems, as they look to their own gifts and the values of the community for solutions.
Reframing Community Partnerships in Education
Matthew Militello, Wells Fargo Distinguished Professor in Educational Leadership recently published “How to prevent special education litigation: Eight legal lesson plans” (Teachers College Press). This book is a continuation of the 2010 Principals Teaching the Law book (Schimmel, Eckes, & Militello, 2010, Corwin Press). As practitioners and instructors used the book, there was a clear need to focus legal lessons for school personnel around special education. This book provides a set of specific lesson plans that school leaders can implement in their schools with faculty and staff.
