“…Sometimes referred to as judgmental sampling or theoretical sampling, this is a type of non-probability sampling based on the judgment of the researcher regarding participants (Brink 2000). For this study, the researcher selected four schools that were beset with conflicts and four that had no known conflicts and appeared to be run well or effectively (Thomas & Warren, 2017).…”

Community leadership whether in developed or developing world, have one thing in common; they act as that binding force in the society bringing people of different walks of life together to develop themselves, solve conflicts and reduce differences which would otherwise blow out of proportion leading to a crisis. The number of immigrants in Finland has increased drastically during the last decade. Community Leadership is being widely used to describe the key and unique value that councils can bring to their localities. As the only over-arching locally elected body, councils have a uniquely democratic role within the locality. In this capacity they are increasingly being asked to perform a visible Community Leadership role, focusing on bringing partners together, joining up local services, exercising influence in developing a shared local agenda and high quality local services, engaging with citizens and creating a vision for their localities (Dierwechter, 2014). According to the New Local Government Network, community leadership-focuses on bringing partners together, joining up local services, exercising influence in developing a shared local agenda and high quality local services, engaging with citizens and creating a vision for their localities. Thus, municipal council members have a role to perform as community leaders (Dierwechter, 2014).

“…Thomas and Warren (2017: 87) explain that the condition under which black males teach is admirable yet ‘troubling and precarious’, and note that their voices are muted as they employ silence as a coping mechanism—a strategy used to avoid confrontation or misunderstanding. Other studies, too, have identified strategies which male teachers use to navigate and survive in schools.…”

The absence of male teachers in primary schools has been an ongoing concern for policymakers and schools in the UK, USA, Canada and Australia, and as schools have become more ethnically diverse so have concerns that the teacher workforce should reflect the communities it serves. Pre-service teacher training plays a critical role in this aim, by identifying, recruiting, retaining and training those who demonstrate potential to become teachers in English primary schools. As one of a few studies to explore the racialised and gendered experiences of black male teachers in England, I adopt the use of critical race theory (CRT) to examine how black male teachers are characterised and constructed in white education spaces. Drawing on a larger study, this paper utilises counternarrative, a key precept of CRT, to draw attention to processes of exclusion, othering and surveillance through the experience of David (the main character). Interview and documentary data illuminate institutional processes of overt and covert racism, as well as racialised and gendered stereotyping. David's story reveals how his voice is muted as it is woven into processes of othering, hyper-surveillance and disciplinary power.

“…On the other hand, the theory of cultural self-confidence is multi-dimensional, and empirical research methods are lacking (Bartlett & Mendenhall, 2017). In the actual teaching, there is no framework for cultivating cultural self-confidence that is suitable for Chinese English teaching practice and has high recognition and high operability (Thomas & Warren, 2017). All these have affected the effect and quality of cultivating cultural confidence in English teaching (Warren, 2018).…”

In order to deeply study the cultivation of young people's cultural self-confidence in English teaching. Through the investigation and analysis of the status quo affecting young people's cultural self-confidence, the relevant reasons are found out. Methods and measures to develop students' self-confidence in English teaching have been proposed. To improve young people's cultural self-confidence, teachers need to take the following methods: cultivate harmonious teacher and student emotions and stimulate young people's interest in learning; correctly treating young people's mistakes; use motivational language in class; formulate level educational goals and implement tiered teaching; use formative evaluation; implement hope and success education. By comparing the two classes with horizontal and vertical two self-confidence measurement scales, it is concluded that the teacher's teaching behavior is positively related to the students' self-confidence.
