Book excerpt: This report is intended to assist teachers, administrators, parents, and community leaders in achieving excellence in California's public elementary education. The report is also designed to help teachers and administrators engage elementary school students in a thinking curriculum that immerses students in a rich learning environment that recognizes and celebrates the unique background and experiences each student brings to the classroom. Following an introduction that outlines its purpose, the report is divided into seven chapters, each of which contains recommendations supported by a discussion, excerpts from key writings, and a listing of sources of additional information. The first chapter includes a detailed discussion of current learning theory and its implications for elementary instruction on a subject-by-subject basis. One recommendation is included. The second chapter, which deals with practical strategies for implementing a rigorous curriculum, contains recommendations 2 through 15. Chapter 3 concerns ways to connect classroom teachers to the larger professional issues in elementary education and consists chiefly of recommendations 16 through 20. Ways in which California's new elementary grades assessment program can be used to spur curriculum reform are described in recommendations 21-24 contained in the fourth chapter. The fifth chapter outlines ways to help families and children build emotional bonds to the school as detailed in recommendations 25-29. Students' physical and emotional needs are addressed in the sixth chapter, which presents one recommendation, and the final chapter (ending with recommendations 31 and 32), describes steps that school districts can take to support elementary schools in their quest for self-improvement.

This book was released on 1983 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document presents findings of an independent committee that was organized by the Twentieth Century Fund to study the Federal role in shaping educational policy, and includes the comprehensive background paper (prepared by Paul E. Peterson) on which the task force discussions were based. The report describes current problems in elementary and secondary schooling, reviews effects of the past Federal role in education, and proposes Federal policy involvement in the following areas: (1) establishment of a program to reward teaching excellence ; (2) emphasis on English language literacy; (3) provision of advanced science and mathematics training; (4) continued support of special programs for disadvantaged students; (5) support for educational research; and (6) financial support to provide parents with schooling options. The background paper examines the history and current state of American education, evaluates the impact of Federal policy on education, and provides a framework for evaluating recommendations for change. Specifically, the paper describes declines in educational expansion over the years; suggests that the Federal government has had only modest effects on the educational system; and stresses that Federal policy should consider the need to balance the issues of quality and equality and of Federal direction versus local autonomy in education.

This book was released on 1967 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A socio-economic analysis of juvenile delinquency that is critical of society's approach to juvenile crime responds with recommendations and principles for change. Efforts to modernize the juvenile court system and the general attitude of the public sector toward youth crime are discussed. To teach the youthful offenders involvement in community life, the public and private sectors of the population must respond to youthful needs. Emphasis is placed on the following areas for changes in attitude and approach of responsible individuals - public officials, community and social agencies, teachers, and potential employers. Greatest emphasis is placed on juvenile justice system personnel ranging from the police to the judge. The Gault decision is discussed as a viable vehicle for giving perspective to future programs and priorities. That a revitalized juvenile court system is needed is a logical conclusion.
