Toronto, no Canadá, é uma das cidades mais multiculturais do mundo. Suas escolas públicas costumam receber alunos de diferentes nacionalidades, ascendências, etnias, religiões e culturas, o que pode dificultar bastante os processos de ensino e aprendizagem. Nesta entrevista, as duas especialistas canadenses falam da produtiva parceria que estabeleceram, durante cerca de 10 anos, com objetivo de melhorar o ensino na Joyce Public School, escola situada no noroeste da cidade, na região de York. Com isso demonstram a importância do trabalho conjunto entre os especialistas das universidades e os professores da escola pública. Quem mais ganhou com essa pesquisa foram os professores e os alunos. Heather Lotherington é professora, pesquisadora e diretora associada da Faculdade de Educação da York University, em Toronto, Canadá. É ph. D. em Educação pela University of Toronto. Seus interesses de pesquisa são o ensino/aprendizagem de línguas, mediado pela tecnologia, em ambiente multicultural e multilinguístico. Em sua produção acadêmica, em meio a muitos artigos e papers, destacam-se os livros: Pedagogy of Multiliteracies: Rewriting Goldilocks (Pedagogia dos Multiletramentos: reescrevendo Goldilocks) (Routlege, 2011) e Teaching Young Learners in a Superdiverse World: Multimodal Approaches and Perspectives (Ensinando jovens aprendizes em um mundo superdiverso: abordagens multimodais e perspectivas) (Routledge, 2017), co-editado com Cheryl Paige. Os dois livros constituem a apresentação dos resultados da pesquisa-ação colaborativa realizada na Joyce Public School. Cheryl Paige é mestre em Educação pela University of Toronto, foi diretora da Joyce Public School e atualmente é consultora de Tecnologia Educacional no Toronto District School Board.

And Training

This paper describes a resource exchange program between two human service organizations: a public school board and a university. This case study illustrates the utility of the concept of resource exchange as a response to pressures for the effective management of limited human resources. With an emphasis on mutual goals, needs, and strengths, the resource exchange program expanded resources available to both organizations. For the public school board, new services in the form of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs were developed. For the university, research and training opportunities were created. Finally, the fragmentation between and within the organizations was reduced in correspondence with their increased mutual interdependence.

Policy Mechanisms

This chapter examines the shooting deaths of several young Black men from 1988-2007 and how these deaths produced a spectrum of affects for those working to develop the school. This affective spectrum would coalesce with other feelings of empowerment and safety produced by the governing and patterned sequences of neoliberalism and biopolitics. The shootings accelerated the becoming of the school, and specifically, how the school settled into an established array of dispositifs concerned with recognition, difference, and safety. The chapter maps the policy landscape that used and perpetuated these specific dispositifs, largely products of anti-racist literatures. The second half of the chapter maps how Toronto District School Board Trustees used - and were used by - these dispositifs. The chapter concludes with showing how Trustees altered anti-racist dispositifs in favour of the ascendent logics of economic and educational choice. Trustees were simultaneously constituted by the ensemble of anti-racist dispositifs but in ways that accommodated and reinforced the policy mechanisms of educational choice and neoliberal ideas of freedom, understood as unfettered access to (quasi) educational markets.

Chicago Public School

In February 1899, the Committee of Physical Culture of the Chicago Public School Board approved an intensive “anthropometric” study of all children enrolled in the city's public schools. The study was a detailed attempt to measure the height, weight, strength, lung capacity, hearing, and general fitness of Chicago's student population. Through 1899 and 1900, thousands of Chicago's primary, grammar, and high school students had their bodies closely scrutinized, measured, weighed, tested, and, in a few cases, diagrammed. What the School Board members wanted to know was the “fitness” of the student body. Were Chicago public school students—many recently arrived immigrants from eastern and southern Europe—vital and vigorous children who could become energetic modern workers and citizens (Figure 1)?

New Strategies

Many built-up and high-density cities such as the City of Toronto are beginning to look at new strategies to increase parkland at a time when land is scarcer and more expensive to acquire. Schoolyards have been identified as underutilized public resources since many of them are deteriorating and predominantly asphalt. Some cities have established initiatives that revitalize public schoolyards into green spaces for student and community use, defined generally as ‘schoolyard parks’. Such initiatives are based upon public-private partnerships between city governments, school boards, park departments, and other stakeholders. This paper uses spatial analysis to estimate how much parkland Toronto District School Board schoolyards could contribute to Toronto’s park system if they were converted to schoolyard parks. It also reviews four schoolyard park programs in different cities to determine what kind of program structure would best suit Toronto, and it provides recommendations on how to implement such an initiative. Key words: schoolyards, parks, green spaces, partnership, underutilized schools
