Book excerpt: It is the thesis of this provocative book that the deteriorating state of America's public school system is actually a reflection of the problems in our culture and society. In "Waiting For A Miracle," James P. Comer M.D., Maurice Falk Professor of Child Psychiatry at the Yale University Child Study Center and the author of Maggie's American Dream, and co-author of Raising Black Children, outlines the cause of these afflictions and presents an inspiring paradigm for a new way of thinking and acting with regard to children and family.At the root of the problem, he states, is a social failure to make a commitment to families, and to community and child development.Using many examples from his personal experience of growing up poor, and from more than thirty years of community involvement, Comer argues that schools can be the most important instrument of change in a society. He spells out how private, public and non-profit sectors can collaborate to enable children, families, and communities to survive and thrive.

Download or read book Teaching in Rural Places written by Amy Price Azano and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-16 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This teacher education textbook invites preservice and beginning teachers to think critically about the impact of rurality on their work and provides an overview of what it means to live, teach, learn, and thrive in rural communities. This book underscores the importance of teaching in rural schools as an act of social justice—work that dismantles spatial barriers to economic, social, and political justice. Teaching in Rural Places begins with a foundational section that addresses the importance of thinking about rural education in the U.S. as an educational environment with particular challenges and opportunities. The subsequent chapters address rural teaching within concentric circles of focus—from communities to schools to classrooms. Chapters provide concrete strategies for understanding rural communities, valuing rural ways of being, and teaching in diverse rural schools by addressing topics such as working with families, building professional networks, addressing trauma, teaching in multi-grade classrooms, and planning place-conscious instruction. The first of its kind, this comprehensive textbook for rural teacher education is targeted toward preservice and beginning teachers in traditional and alternative teacher education programs as well as new rural teachers participating in induction and mentoring programs. Teaching in Rural Places will help ensure that rural students have the well-prepared teachers they deserve.

Download or read book Rural Exceptional at Risk written by Doris Helge and published by . This book was released on 1991 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This booklet examines the unique difficulties of delivering education services to at-risk children and youth with exceptionalities who live in rural areas. An introductory chapter considers the extent of the problem and identifies such strategies as providing self-esteem education, appropriate preservice and inservice training, community-business-school partnerships, family involvement, and community education. The second chapter provides a synthesis of the research, noting the high dropout rate in rural areas, conditions placing rural students at risk (e.g., poverty, limited English proficiency, and migrancy), and problems associated with implementing special education services (e.g., scattered populations, isolation, and a lack of social services). Implications for practitioners are considered in the third chapter, such as the need for program design based on the uniqueness of each rural community. Nineteen factors to be considered in service delivery design are discussed, such as cost efficiency, and expertise and attitudes of available personnel. The last chapter identifies recommendations regarding policy, preservice and inservice training, school programming, community action, parent activities, teacher concerns, and individual student concerns. Includes 30 references and suggested resources including examples of successful service delivery models. (DB)

Download or read book Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy written by Helen F. Ladd and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-12-17 with total page 693 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sponsored by the Association for Education Finance and Policy (AEFP), the second edition of this groundbreaking handbook assembles in one place the existing research-based knowledge in education finance and policy, with particular attention to elementary and secondary education. Chapters from the first edition have been fully updated and revised to reflect current developments, new policies, and recent research. With new chapters on teacher evaluation, alternatives to traditional public schooling, and cost-benefit analysis, this volume provides a readily available current resource for anyone involved in education finance and policy. The Handbook of Research in Education Finance and Policy traces the evolution of the field from its initial focus on school inputs and revenue sources used to finance these inputs, to a focus on educational outcomes and the larger policies used to achieve them. Chapters show how decision making in school finance inevitably interacts with decisions about governance, accountability, equity, privatization, and other areas of education policy. Because a full understanding of important contemporary issues requires inputs from a variety of perspectives, the Handbook draws on contributors from a number of disciplines. Although many of the chapters cover complex, state-of-the-art empirical research, the authors explain key concepts in language that non-specialists can understand. This comprehensive, balanced, and accessible resource provides a wealth of factual information, data, and wisdom to help educators improve the quality of education in the United States.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Data for recent years show a turnaround in education: the gross enrollment rate in Sub-Saharan Africa increased from 78 percent in 1998 99 to 84 percent in 2000 01 and to 91 percent in 2002 03, reflecting broad-based growth in access not seen since the 1970s.

Maintaining progress will require continuing the reforms to (a) implement cost-effect.

Download or read book Rural Education In Urbanized Nations written by Jonathan P Sher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A reversal in rural-to-urban migration patterns is creating increasing interest in the quality of education in rural areas and in techniques for meeting educational needs in sparsely populated regions. Wholesale urbanization of rural schools generally is rejected as a potential solution: it is logistically inefficient; centralization and standardization are met with growing resistance; and conventional solutions to educational problems produce uneven results when applied to rural areas. This book addresses the broad spectrum of rural education issues within OECD member countries. The authors identify innovative programs, policies, and strategies and point toward the more promising paths for rural school improvement. They also issue warnings about some of the blind alleys and dead ends that can be encountered. The major topics covered include delivery systems, in-school innovations, support mechanisms, and community-school linkages.

Book excerpt: Testimony given at a congressional hearing on the unique problems of urban and rural schools, the federal role in addressing these problems, and the availability of resources at state and local levels is presented in this report. Representative William Jefferson described the disadvantages of urban schools, compared to suburban schools, with respect to reaching the six national education goals for the year 2000. He spoke in support of the proposed Urban Schools of America Act (USA), which would fund urban school improvement at the local level, renovation of facilities, research and evaluation activities, technical assistance, and staff development. Lois Adams-Rogers, from the Kentucky Department of Education, discussed rural poverty in Kentucky, rural cultural influences on education, the special needs of rural education, the Kentucky Education Reform Act of 1990, and the need for federal aid. Dale Lestina represented Organizations Concerned about Rural Education (OCRE), whose goals are reforming rural school curriculum, developing rural schools as community centers, and promoting the role of rural schools in community economic revitalization. OCRE supported the proposed Rural Schools of America Act of 1991, which would fund early childhood programs, parent involvement activities, school-community linkages, capital improvement, and educational innovation. Superintendents from Tucson (Arizona) and Portland (Oregon) outlined the poor status of urban schools on the national education goals. Also included are charts of the share of statewide expenditures and poverty enrollment for 47 cities and estimated USA grants to eligible cities. (SV)
