Download or read book School Site Management and School Restructuring written by Grover Henry Baldwin and published by Education Law Association. This book was released on 1993 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Included in calls for change during the school reform of the 1980s were demands that teachers be given more control over education in the classroom. Such calls have led to the propagation of changes in the schools that allow teachers to take the lead in education, with school management being left to administrators. These changes create legal questions about the roles of school boards, administrators, and states in governing schools, management prerogatives, and the role of parents in education. This report addresses school-site management and newer reform issues, reviews important court decisions, and projects future areas of legal concern to teachers and administrators. Because education is a state responsibility, local school districts must obtain permission from the state to develop school-site management plans. In addition, local school boards may not, without the permission of the state legislature, give administrators or school boards unlimited authority to run schools. However, school boards are the arbiters of disputes over control of school reform and represent the community. Following an introduction, the monograph's five core chapters focus on educational governance and school-site management, school-site management and school-restructuring issues, administrators and restructuring efforts, professional staff and restructuring efforts, and student rights and school choice. Conclusions and implications are offered in a final chapter. A table of cases is included. (Contains 25 references.) (JPT)

Download or read book Improving America s Schools written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1996-11-15 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reform of American education is largely motivated by concerns about our economic competitiveness and American's standard of living. Yet, few if any of the public school reform agendas incorporate economic principles or research findings. Improving America's Schools explores how education and economic research can help produce, in the words of Harvard's Dale W. Jorgenson, "a unified framework for future education reform." This book presents the perspectives of noted experts, including Eric A. Hanushek, author of Making Schools Work, on creating incentives for improved school and student performance; Under Secretary of Education Marshall S. Smith on the Clinton Administration's reform program; and Rebecca Maynard, University of Pennsylvania, on the education of the disadvantaged. This volume explores these areas: The importance of schooling to labor market success. The prospects for combining school-based management with teacher incentives to gain the best of both approaches. The potential of recent innovations in student achievement testing, including new "value-added" indicators. The economic factors involved in maintaining an adequate stock of effective teachers. The volume also explores why, despite similar standards of living, France, the Netherlands, England, Scotland, and the United States produce different levels of education achievement. Improving America's Schools informs the current debate over school reform with a fresh perspective, examples, and data. This readable volume will be of interest to policymakers, researchers, educators, and education administrators as well as economists and employersâ€"it is also readily accessible to concerned parents and the larger community.
