Book excerpt: Beset by such controversies as whether they have the right to search students' lockers for guns and drugs, big city schools are making adjustments unimaginable in earlier eras, when detention was still sufficient for keeping order. Milwaukee, Wisconsin, is one city trying to cope with the educational challenges of the twentieth century. Seeds of Crisis examines the ways in which these challenges have affected the politics of education, the curriculum, the work of teachers and principals, and the everyday lives of students in Milwaukee. Since the problems facing urban schools are similar from city to city, a close and careful look at the historical roots and origins of the situation in Milwaukee can serve as a model for those working on solutions in other places. The contributors touch on topics from curriculum to desegregation in the Milwaukee public schools, setting the schools' histories within a broader context of the changing urban scene and educational policy issues. Taken together, these essays offer an unusual perspective on the development of a major urban school system as it prepares to face the future.

Download or read book Exploring Wisconsin Through Project Based Learning written by Carole Marsh and published by Gallopade International. This book was released on 2016-04-01 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring Wisconsin through Project-Based Leaning includes 50 well-thought-out projects designed for grades 3-5. In assigning your students projects that dig into WisconsinÕs geography, history, government, economy, current events, and famous people, you will deepen their appreciation and understanding of Wisconsin while simultaneously improving their analytical skills and ability to recognize patterns and big-picture themes. Project-based learning today is much different than the craft-heavy classroom activities popular in the past. Inquiry, planning, research, collaboration, and analysis are key components of project-based learning activities today. However, that doesnÕt mean creativity, individual expression, and fun are out. They definitely arenÕt! Each project is designed to help students gain important knowledge and skills that are derived from standards and key concepts at the heart of academic subject areas. Students While some projects are more complex and take longer than others, they all are set up in the same structure. Each begins with the central project-driving questions, proceeds through research and supportive questions, has the student choose a presentation option, and ends with a broader-view inquiry. Rubrics for reflection and assessments are included, too. This consistent framework will make it easier for you assign projects and for your students to follow along and consistently meet expectations. Encourage your students to take charge of their projects as much as possible. As a teacher, you can act as a facilitator and guide. The projects are structured such that students can often work through the process on their own or through cooperation with their classmates.are asked to analyze and solve problems, to gather and interpret data, to develop and evaluate solutions, to support their answers with evidence, to think critically in a sustained way, and to use their newfound knowledge to formulate new questions worthy of exploring.

Book excerpt: "This volume explores how internationalization of campus has been an ongoing endeavor at the University of Wisconsin--Madison (UW) for decades prior to the pandemic, as well as providing a lens into how people across campus have been reflecting on their work amidst the pandemic with subsequent implications for the future. The book is organized into four overarching sections--internationalization of the curriculum (general and language); experiential learning (co-curricular engagement and education away); establishing linkages (institutional and outreach); and administration. To highlight the expansive way campus units have been engaging in internationalization, a wide-ranging set of chapter case studies have been included. Subsequently, this volume provides a cross-sectional view into internationalization at UW and raises questions for reflections regarding how scholars and practitioners in the field may consider examining the field in the future. Finally, by examining how internationalization at UW has been informed by the Wisconsin Idea, this book explores how institutional internationalization strategies can align with and tailored to institutional values for long-term sustainability"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presenters at a public hearing testified about strategies that were working and those that were considered not to be working in the Wisconsin vocational education system. The strategies that were cited as "working" were: education provided to businesses by VTAE (Vocational-Technical Adult Education district) colleges; interaction between business and education; collaboration among entities, such as the Job Centers; support of organized labor for training; onsite literacy training for workers; high school vocational programs that are becoming updated; cooperation between high school and postsecondary programs; and services to at-risk students. Among those strategies cited as not working to the extent necessary to meet work force needs or factors affecting such strategies were: variations in responsiveness by VTAE colleges; employees' lack of basic literacy, problem-solving, and interpersonal skills; the need for more agency collaboration; the skilled worker shortage and the need to train the handicapped and disadvantaged; discrimination against older workers; effects on high school vocational programs of new graduation and university requirements; the need for workers to function in a global work force; increased demands on schools and the dropout rate; the need for more career counseling for youth and adults; and the fact that women are clustered in traditionally lower-paid jobs. Recommendations included: expansion of literacy program efforts with the assistance of additional state funding; implementation of an educational model by the Department of Public Instruction that would provide every student the best opportunity to become functionally literate; and changes in the VTAE policies to enable the VTAE colleges to become more responsive to the changing needs of business and industry and to prepare the system to meet the work force needs of the next century.

Book excerpt: Common sense and recent research make it clear that schools cannot be successful without strong principals. Strong principals help improve student performance in many ways, from shaping a school's mission and culture to hiring, developing, and retaining its teachers. Even so, principals often get short shrift in today's debates about human capital in public education. Compared to the large body of research and policy attention given to teachers, the field knows surprisingly little about the principal workforce. This knowledge gap means that it often is hard for school districts and states to make strategic decisions to improve their principal workforces. Where do most principals come from? How long do they stay? How well do they perform? How many will need to be hired and developed in the future? Few districts or states know the answers. To address these and other important questions about their principals, states need, among other things, to build detailed longitudinal data systems like the ones they use to track teachers and students. But in some places those types of systems are still a long way off. In the meantime, system leaders can examine the administrative data they already have to paint a basic picture of their principal workforce, one that can help prompt deeper questions and discussions about the challenges and opportunities they face. This "Principal Concerns" brief offers an example of this type of analysis for Wisconsin. Why should Wisconsin be concerned about its principal workforce? After all, by some measures, the state's schools are doing well. Wisconsin's NAEP scores, for example, are consistently higher than the national average. Yet there is still much work to be done to ensure that all students achieve at high levels, and strong leadership is key to that success. Under the state's recently revamped accountability system, 266 schools across the state are not meeting performance expectations. In Milwaukee Public Schools, the state's largest school system, only 21 percent of schools met or exceeded the state's expectations. (Contains 3 figures and 11 footnotes.).
