Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) is the latest in more than two decades of federal efforts to raise educational standards and an even longer stream of initiatives to improve education for poor children. What lessons can we draw from these earlier efforts to help NCLB achieve its goals? In Standards-Based Reform and the Poverty Gap, leading scholars in sociology, economics, psychology, and education policy take on this critical question. Armed with the latest data and up-to-date research syntheses, the authors show that standards-based reform has had some positive effects, particularly in the area of teacher quality. Moreover, some of the critics' greatest fears have not been realized: for example, retention rates have not shot upward. Yet the overall pace of improvement has been slow, owing in part to poor implementation. Based on these findings, the contributors offer recommendations for the implementation and impending reauthorization of NCLB. These proposals, such as national testing and a rethinking of achievement targets, are sure to be at the center of the upcoming debate. Contributors include Thomas Dee, Laura Desimone, George Farkas, Barbara Foorman, Brian Jacob, Robert M. Hauser, Paul Hill, Tom Loveless, Meredith Phillips, Andrew C. Porter, and Thomas Smith.
Download or read book Money Mandates and Local Control in American Public Education written by Bryan Shelly and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2011-07-08 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pointing to the disparities between wealthy and impoverished school districts in areas where revenue depends primarily upon local taxes, reformers repeatedly call for the centralization of school funding. Their proposals meet resistance from citizens, elected officials, and school administrators who fear the loss of local autonomy. Bryan Shelly finds, however, that local autonomy has already been compromised by federal and state governments, which exercise a tremendous amount of control over public education despite their small contribution to a school system's funding. This disproportionate relationship between funding and control allows state and federal officials to pass education policy yet excuses them from supplying adequate funding for new programs. The resulting unfunded and underfunded mandates and regulations, Shelly insists, are the true cause of the loss of community control over public education. Shelly outlines the effects of the most infamous of underfunded federal mandates, the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), and explores why schools implemented it despite its unpopularity and out-of-pocket costs. Shelly's findings hold significant implications for school finance reform, NCLB, and the future of intergovernmental relations.

This book was released on 2000 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) serves two important purposes for the educational community. The first purpose, at which SASS has been very successful, is providing data that describe and track over time the state of schools and staffing (the capacities of teachers, school libraries, schools, and school districts, and the organization of schools and the teaching profession) in the United States. Major reports--including "Schools and Staffing in the United States" (NCES 93-146; 96-124), "America's Teachers: Profile of a Profession" (NCES 93-025; 97- 460), "Public School Districts in the United States: A Statistical Profile, 1987-88 to 1993-94" (NCES 98-203), and "Public and Private School Principals in the United States: A Statistical Profile, 1987-88 to 1993-94" (NCES 97-455)--have contributed a wealth of information concerning the on-going state of teaching, schooling, and school administration in the U.S. Other smaller, more focused reports, such as "Job Satisfaction among America's Teachers: Effects of Workplace Conditions, Background Characteristics, and Teacher Compensation" (NCES 97-471) and "Public School Choice Programs, 1993-94: Availability and Student Participation" (NCES 97-909) contribute similar information on more specific aspects of the state of schools and staffing in the United States. The second purpose has been under-developed: SASS provides valuable data for gaining "enlightenment" regarding emerging and enduring issues concerning teaching and schools (Boe, 1996) SASS is a tremendous database for describing phenomena. This kind of description helps researchers gain a general knowledge about issues that they can then research in more detail elsewhere. In this way, SASS has enormous potential as a research-question-generator. Moreover, researchers can link data from smaller, focused studies to the nationally and state-by-state representative data provided by SASS. SASS data can provide context for or reinforce the findings of local, in-depth studies. This paper begins with a brief description of the 1999-2000 survey. It then discusses status and trend reports that should be generated to help provide a detailed sense of the state and movement of teaching and schools. It closes with suggestions for more specific research. Appended are: (1) "Essential" Items for Schools and Staffing in the U.S. Profile; and (2) Potential Topics for New or Updated Research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Schools and Staffing Survey (SASS) is the most extensive survey of elementary and secondary schools in the United States and the teachers and administrators who staff them. Sponsored by the National Center for Education Statistics, SASS has been conducted four times. This report introduces the data from the 1999-2000 SASS. The SASS for 1999-2000 covered four school sectors, each of which is covered in a section of the report: traditional public, private, public charter, and Bureau of Indian Affairs. The SASS design features parallel questionnaires for districts, schools, principals, teachers, and school library media centers. In 1999-2000, interviews were obtained from approximately 4,700 school districts, 12,000 schools, 12,300 principals, 52,400 teachers, and 9,900 school library media centers. Data are presented in a series of tables for each component. Some selected findings are presented with reference to school safety, class size, school programs, teacher salaries, prior teaching experience of principals, professional development, and school library media specialists. Seven appendixes provide supporting information, including standard error tables and technical notes. (Contains 136 tables and 24 references.).
