This book was released on 1993 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guidebook shows how governors and states have worked on engaging the public in education reform. It focuses on important strategies to consider during the process of building public support for education reform. It highlights state strategies for communicating about progress made toward achieving the National Education Goals and for promoting statewide systemic education reform. Suggestions include: (1) begin education reform with the facts; (2) include the public from the beginning; (3) recognize that change comes from the bottom up; (4) build momentum from a broad-based coalition; (5) know that reaching out requires resources; (6) prepare for the long haul; (7) avoid jargon; (8) use your policy and communications staff effectively; and (9) expect the unexpected. The experiences of four states--Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, and Florida--illustrate lessons learned from recent education-issue campaigns that were brought before the voters. The guide concludes with a discussion of a national campaign to increase public support for education improvement, the "Keep the Promise" campaign. (LMI)

Download or read book Transforming State Education Agencies To Support Education Reform written by Jane L. David and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To answer the question of how to build the capacity of state and local educational systems to implement systemic reform, the National Governors' Association (NGA) convened two meetings of educators and policymakers and commissioned three supporting papers from knowledgeable educators. This volume contains an overview report of the conferences and includes the following three papers: (1) "State Education Agencies: Partners in Reform" (Paul G. LeMahieu and Bonnie A. Lesley); (2) "A View from the Cities: State Reform, Technical Assistance, and Professional Development" (Michael D. Casserly); and (3) "An Analysis of Survey Data on the Transformation of State Departments of Education" (John T. MacDonald). Meeting participants focused on the dual challenge facing state education agencies (SEAs) as they try to transform themselves and simultaneously help local education agencies undertake similar changes. It is recommended that SEAs change their conceptions of professional development for administrators and teachers, as well as their communication and organizational structures. Given the complex array of internal and external barriers, SEAs must change their functions from monitoring to assisting and from service delivery to collaboration and the empowerment of others. Governors can strengthen the potential of systemic reform by publicizing the importance of educational reform, promoting investment in the development of the education work force, and pressing for the elimination of unnecessary federal regulations. Eight figures are included. Appendices contain a list of meeting participants and the three supporting papers. (LMI)
Download or read book Troublemaker written by Chester E. Finn, Jr. and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2008-02-04 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few people have been more involved in shaping postwar U.S. education reforms--or dissented from some of them more effectively--than Chester Finn. Assistant secretary of education under Ronald Reagan, and an aide to politicians as different as Richard Nixon and Daniel Moynihan, Finn has also been a high school teacher, an education professor, a prolific and best-selling writer, a think-tank analyst, a nonprofit foundation president, and both a Democrat and Republican. This remarkably varied career has given him an extraordinary insider's view of every significant school-reform movement of the past four decades, from racial integration to No Child Left Behind. In Troublemaker, Finn has written a vivid history of postwar education reform that is also the personal story of one of the foremost players--and mavericks--in American education. Finn tells how his experiences have shaped his changing views of the three major strands of postwar school reform: standards-driven, choice-driven, and profession-driven. Of the three, Finn now believes that a combination of choice and standards has the greatest potential, but he favors this approach more on pragmatic than ideological grounds, arguing that parents should be given more options at the same time that schools are allowed more flexibility and held to higher performance norms. He also explains why education reforms of all kinds are so difficult to implement, and he draws valuable lessons from their frequent failure. Clear-eyed yet optimistic, Finn ultimately gives grounds for hope that the best of today's bold initiatives--from charter schools to technology to makeovers of school-system governance--are finally beginning to make a difference.

Download or read book The Allure of Order written by Jal Mehta and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015 with total page 405 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Allure of Order, Mehta recounts a century of attempts at revitalizing public education, and puts forward a truly new agenda to reach this elusive goal. Over and over again, outsiders have been fascinated by the promise of scientific management and have attempted to apply principles of rational administration from above. What we want, Mehta argues, is the opposite approach which characterizes top-performing educational nations: attract strong candidates into teaching, develop relevant and usable knowledge, train teachers extensively in that knowledge, and support these efforts through a strong welfare state.
