Book excerpt: When education activists in New York, Chicago, and other urban school districts in the 1980s began the small-schools movement, they envisioned a new kind of public school system that was fair and equitable and that encouraged new relationships between teachers and students. When that movement for school reform ran head-on into the neo-conservative takeover of the Department of Education and its No Child Left Behind strategy for school change, a new model of federal power bent on the erosion of public space and the privatization of public schooling emerged. Michael and Susan Klonsky, educators who were among the early leaders of the small-schools movement, tell the story of how a once-promising model of creating new small and charter schools has been used by the neocons to reproduce many of the old inequities. Small Schools is the engaging story of what happens when the small-schools movement meets the Ownership Society.

Download or read book Managing Smallness written by Deborah L. Inman Freitas and published by Eric Clearinghouse on Rural. This book was released on 1992-01-01 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on a mail survey of over 100 rural school administrators in 34 states, this handbook outlines common problems and successful strategies in the financial management of rural, small school districts. Major problems are related to revenue and cash flow, increasing expenditures, providing quality education programs, and staffing to handle the responsibilities of fiscal management. Education funding is especially vulnerable to state politics, and many financial problems of rural school districts stem from state-aid funding formulas that favor larger urban districts. Some of the most crucial budgetary concerns are rising labor costs, the cost of new technology, and additional curricular mandates from state and federal governments. Successful strategies are listed for dealing with budget concerns and making the funding formula work, and specific examples are described. In particular, the 4-day school week provides some unique solutions to the financial and instructional problems of rural districts. Recommendations are also listed for personnel management, interdistrict cooperation, communication, and "do not do's." Also discussed are the future outlook for rural equity issues, rural school improvement programs, the role of rural education in community development, and educational cooperation. This booklet contains 40 references. Appendices provide brief annotated bibliographies on budgeting, general rural education sources, and recent relevant ERIC/CRESS digests. (SV)

Download or read book Implementing School based Management written by Harry P. Hatry and published by The Urban Insitute. This book was released on 1993 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report presents the findings and recommendations of an examination of the implementation of a major form of school-based management (SBM). It is based on case studies of the science and mathematics departments of 10 high schools and 9 middle or junior high schools in 12 school systems, almost all of which are urban school districts. The study found that implementation often falls short of the ideal. It did not find dramatic changes resulting from SBM. However, those schools and faculty members that took advantage of their added flexibility under SBM were able to achieve numerous small-scale improvements. The report provides a series of recommendations for school districts and individual schools to increase the likelihood of successful implementation of decentralization efforts such as SBM. The findings and recommendations cover such issues as (1) the extent of decentralization of budgeting expenditure and personnel decisions, (2) the role of site councils and department heads, and (3) communication and training needs. Appendixes list participating schools and districts and contain a literature review. (Contains 117 references.) (Author/SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A TALE OF COURAGE AND THE QUEST FOR FREEDOM AGAINST ALL ODDS ...The land of Hadar lies since countless ages under a shroud of darkness. An ancient Legend explains how all this has happened and fifteen-year-old Elran, a true Korath, believes in the story even as he surrenders to his fate of being a captive to the gloom--possibly forever ... Then, one day, he meets Ayra, the new girl in the village. Through her, Elran is drawn into the world of the Maldabrah, a small mysterious commune whose people claim to have eyes that can pierce through the veil of darkness and see the light which, they assert, is shining bright upon the whole land. There Elran learns about the tale of a mystical river flowing through a remote region; a river in whose waters, he is told, ultimate freedom from the darkness can be found. It could be the truth or a blatant lie. Elran decides to find out. But hardly has he begun his journey when he is hurled into a horrifying web of terror, along with the threat of an unknown, mystifying nature that seems intent to track and stop him with dogged determination. Now Elran is trapped in a nightmare he never dreamed is possible, a nightmare that turns his world upside down and changes him forever ...
