Download or read book Selling School Budgets in Hard Times written by William Goldstein and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Financial planning for education is a difficult task as schools struggle for a share of diminishing tax resources. The presentation of school budgets for voter approval must be done as effectively as possible. When presenting budgets, administrators should take into account that the public has a low tolerance for detail, budgets are boring, a well informed public is more positive, presentation materials should be attractive and brief, support groups are needed, and the media should be used wisely. The most important component of the process is the presentation of the budget support material. Fifteen suggestions for presenting budget proposals to the public are provided. The printed budget should be attractive, be self-explanatory, answer the public's questions, use graphics and easily understood tables, and use clear uncluttered prose. The author provides an example of a "bird's eye" budget that is easy to read, understandable, and inexpensively produced. A checklist for assessing a school's budget presentation is provided. Selling budgets in difficult times is hard work that takes careful planning and thorough understanding of demographics, social climate, and financial capabilities. (MD)

Download or read book Personalizing Staff Development written by Judith Christensen and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet examines teachers' professional development from the standpoint of several recent reform reports, particularly the concept of the career ladder. A critique of this model serves as a reference point for an alternative approach to professional development called the "Career Lattice Model". This individualized model for growth in the teaching profession evolved from research on teacher career stages. The career lattice is a model that can provide financial, empowering, and personal incentives, and its flexibility provides options for teachers in various stages of their careers. It emphasizes collegiality, not competition, and can be used alone or as part of a career ladder or other career incentive plan. Examples are offered of the use of the career lattice model, and its strengths and limitations are pointed out. (JD)
Download or read book Issues and Innovations in Foreign Language Education written by Jacqueline Benevento and published by . This book was released on 1985 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studies indicate that American students have an inadequate understanding of world affairs, with implications for United States national security, business interests in foreign markets, and education in general, and specific recommendations have been made for the improvement of foreign language instruction. Foreign language education in the 1980s reflects fundamental changes in philosophy and objectives, and leaders in foreign language education agree that the fundamental objective is the ability to use language in meaningful ways. With this shift in approach, changes are necessary in program content, instructional materials, and learning activities. Innovations include elementary school programs emphasizing language use in real-life situations, immersion, exploratory programs, schools of international studies, the international baccalaureate, and instruction beyond the classroom. The global education movement in social studies has been especially relevant for foreign language study, and technological applications in foreign language instruction are being updated to emphasize communication. Another current emphasis is on assessment of language proficiency. Improvement in preservice teacher education, while indicated, has been difficult, but a variety of inservice development options are available, and professional associations are an important source of assistance. A need exists for additional research and promotion of public awareness of foreign language study. (MSE)
Download or read book Pros and Cons of Merit Pay written by Susan Moore Johnson and published by . This book was released on 1984 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet examines the premises, practicalities, history, and politics of merit pay for teachers. A discussion of the current context of the merit-pay debate focuses on the claims made for merit-pay programs and the assumptions behind the proposals. Following an analysis of similarities and contrasts among merit-pay plans, the author gives special consideration to the issues in selecting outstanding teachers: performance criteria, quotas per district, temporary or permanent awards, and the problems of evaluation. With the history of merit-pay debate as a background, arguments for and against the concept are then summarized. Since arguments for merit pay are often drawn from the analogy with business, a review of the use of merit pay in business and government concentrates on the government's degree of success in adapting merit-pay principles to the public sector. The characteristics of a school are then compared to those of businesses, where merit pay has been successful. Finally, the author projects the political prospects of merit pay and assesses its worth in school reform. (JW)
