Download or read book Educating Milwaukee written by James K. Nelsen and published by Wisconsin Historical Society. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Milwaukee's story is unique in that its struggle for integration and quality education has been so closely tied to [school] choice." --from the Introduction "Educating Milwaukee: How One City's History of Segregation and Struggle Shaped Its Schools" traces the origins of the modern school choice movement, which is growing in strength throughout the United States. Author James K. Nelsen follows Milwaukee's tumultuous education history through three eras--"no choice," "forced choice," and "school choice." Nelsen details the whole story of Milwaukee's choice movement through to modern times when Milwaukee families have more schooling options than ever--charter schools, open enrollment, state-funded vouchers, neighborhood schools--and yet Milwaukee's impoverished African American students still struggle to succeed and stay in school. "Educating Milwaukee" chronicles how competing visions of equity and excellence have played out in one city's schools in the modern era, offering both a cautionary tale and a "choice" example.

Download or read book The Alliance Way written by Tina M. Owen-Moore and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite heightened attention to the problem, bullying remains a scourge in U.S. schools, linked to a myriad of negative outcomes including substance abuse, suicides, and school shootings. As a young high school teacher, Tina Owen-Moore saw the damage being done by bullying first-hand and despaired. A former victim of bullying herself, Owen-Moore did what she could to help students see the harm and prevent it. But in 2005, when she and her fellow Milwaukee teachers were offered the opportunity to start new schools, Owen-Moore "knew what she had to do" - create a school in which bullying was not the norm. In The Alliance Way, Owen-Moore details the beliefs and practices that have made the Alliance School of Milwaukee a focus of national attention as a safe, student-centered and academically challenging school. The book illustrates how creating a safe and inclusive environment goes beyond a programming approach that targets bullying to a more holistic one where building relationships, restorative practices, and planning to prevent harm take center-stage.--
Download or read book The Big Con in Education written by Dennis Redovich and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005-07 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Big Con in Education is the shocking exposé that details how public schools are used as convenient scapegoats for social and economic woes-woes perpetuated not in schoolyards, but in the halls of Congress and in the boardrooms of the Fortune 500. Author Dennis W. Redovich debunks leading business and political interests who blame economic problems on an inadequate workforce, claiming that schools are not educating children with the life skills needed in the twenty-first century. Using the United States government's own statistics, The Big Con in Education uncovers the lies trumpeted in the media about the serious shortage of "skilled workers" and the subsequent economic decline. It also illustrates a lack of credible rationale to claim that all students need to take higher-level courses in academic subjects to prepare to enter the workforce. Redovich contends that supply-side education and training does not produce high-paying jobs any more than does failed supply-side economics. The Big Con in Education documents the hype, propaganda, and hypocrisy big business and political propagandists dish out in a war against public education. Redovich offers his views on the important facts concerning the reality of the job situation that faces the country.
