Author Dr. Danielle Hyles-Rainford interrogates the notion of career mobility in school systems. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe purpose of this study is to explore actual career barriers that impede the mobility of aspiring educators, with a specific focus on race and gender, and also to give agency attributes and navigational tools to attain personal empowerment and systemic resiliency for career success. Previous research in the field of mobility and leadership in education has rarely brought together issues of race, gender and identity politics with the notions of human, social and cultural capital accumulation. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBridging the Opportunity Gap explores a variety of closely related topics, including the impact of horizontal versus vertical mobility, the career community web, spiral and the traditional ladder, under-representation and overqualified candidates, and family\/childrearing and its effects on promotion in different global contexts. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eMost importantly, it explores how to navigate a complex system like the public education system and gives individual and collective agency attributes for success, such as political astuteness, influential mentorship, personal style, higher education, and superior job performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Danielle Hyles-Rainford\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1450288278\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781450288279\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/09\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.74lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.51d","brand":"Danielle Hyles-Rainford","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48458390438143,"sku":"9781450288279","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0023d437-d3f9-447a-9ee7-d52b118ffd8e.jpg?v=1777404141","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/bridging-the-opportunity-gap-danielle-hyles-rainford-9781450288279","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
