Download or read book Spinning Wheels written by Frederick M. Hess and published by Brookings Institution Press. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost everyone agrees that America's urban schools are a mess. But while this agreement has fostered widespread support for aggressive reform, Frederick Hess argues that much of what ails urban education is actually the result of continuous or fragmentary reform. Hess explains that political incentives drive school superintendents to promote reforms--to demonstrate that they are "making a difference." Superintendents have to do this quickly, both because their tenure is usually three years or less and because urban communities are anxious to see educational improvement. However, the nature of urban school districts makes it very difficult to demonstrate concrete short-term improvement. The result is what he terms "policy churn," which distracts teachers and principals from efforts to refine classroom teaching while seldom resulting in successful long-term changes. Hess argues that policymakers have misallocated resources by pursuing the "right" structure or the "best" pedagogy while paying insufficient attention to the more mundane--and more important--questions of how to implement, refine, and sustain a particular approach in their particular district. Hess explains that previous research on high-performing schools suggests that the best schools are characterized by focus and by an ability to develop expertise in specific approaches to teaching and learning. To help educators and policymakers adopt and nurture a focused agenda, he recommends institutional changes that increase the effectiveness of performance outcomes and reduce the incentives to emphasize symbolic reform.

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catalogue of the Horner Collection of Spinning Wheels and Accessories The original Spindle consisted of two parts, the Spindle and the whorl this latter was a piece of wood, stone, clay, or other material which gave momentum to the Spindle when twirled between the fingers, or between the palm of the hand and the leg, as universally practised in Southern Italy. The distati upon which the material to be Spun was wound, was carried under the left arm, or placed in the belt or breast of the operator; the spindle was notched at the top to receive the end of the material; so long as the Spindle re volved the yarn twisted, and when it ceased the yarn was wound on the Spindle, the last twisted portion placed in the notch, and the Operation continued. It would appear natural that the revolving motion given to the Spindle by means of the operator's fingers could be arrived at by a mechanical method if the spindle were mounted in bearings and revolved by means of a band over a driving wheel. The idea occurred to someone, and thus the first Spinning wheel was made. It was a Simple evolution; on the Spindle was fastened a small pulley, called in these countries a whirl, derived from the whorl of the ancient spindle; motion was conveyed to the Spindle by a band running over the wheel and the whirl, as in modern Spinning to-day in the latter this whirl is called a wharve, evidently derived from the older word. The Spindle bearings were fastened in a framework of wood, which also supported the bearings in which the wheel revolved by means of the Operator's hand. We here find the Spindle of the ancients placed horizontally, and re volved from the motion of the wheel, instead of being twirled between the fingers. When about a yard in length was Spun it was allowed to wind itself upon the Spindle, and the Operation was repeated in a manner similar to that employed in the older opera tion. It is not known definitely whence the spinning wheel originated; it is generally, and with some reason, supposed that India was its birthplace; such wheels have been known there for centuries past (no.
