Book excerpt: Each summer since 1990, a select group of Pennsylvania high school students has taken part in the Pennsylvania Governor's School for Teaching (PGST), held at Millersville University. The school is dedicated solely to the profession of teaching and brings together sophomores and juniors who have expressed an interest in teaching as a career. This volume describes the first two years of PGST--its goals, program, and achievements. The following topics are covered: (1) evolution of the PGST including its rationale and funding information; (2) student recruitment and selection; (3) structure and staffing of the program--resident life counselors, support staff, special presenters, and the cooperative model of staff development; (4) program highlights, including reflective journals, teaching in the school-within-a-school, multicultural experiences, learning theories, teacher/learner pairs--action research, a model school project, and leadership projects; and (5) program evaluation by everyone involved in PGST (64 students, 22 staff, 16 Advisory Council members, 79 parents, and 30 mentor teachers in the students' home districts).

Download or read book Choosing Excellence in Public Schools written by David W. Hornbeck and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2009-06-15 with total page 361 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Choosing Excellence in Public Schools explains the origins of the low expectations we have of children, including, notably, children of color, those for whom English is a second language, poor children and children with disabilities. The book dispels the basis for low expectations. It makes clear the economic, demographic, civic, personal and moral imperative to educate all children to high standards and the consequences of not doing so. Hornbeck and Conner set forth a comprehensive, radical agenda based on proven practices and practical experience that will result in education success for virtually all children where faithfully implemented. This book breaks new ground. It establishes that the missing ingredient in school reform is the absence of values-driven, focused, well-financed, professionally staffed, technologically sophisticated grassroots expression of the public will insisting that the political, media, business, judicial and organized labor institutions that make the choices that result in our children's learning conditions make different, and effective choices. We get the education for our own children and grandchildren and those of others that we tolerate or demand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to a Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) press release, in which the Governor outlined his budget priorities for 2014-2015, the Governor's plan includes the Expanding Excellence Program. If enacted and funded, this initiative would "provide competitive funding to schools that have attained a 90 or higher on the School Performance Profile and are willing to analyze and share best practices that have proven to raise student achievement. Grant recipients will be responsible for supporting schools across the state that strive to replicate these strategies and techniques."In his budget address, Governor Corbett argued that the proposal will help struggling schools "link up with the top schools in a mentoring partnership, to gain from their experience and knowledge." By way of background, School Performance Profiles (SPP), unveiled last fall, rate public schools on as many as 30 indicators in four categories: academic achievement, academic growth, closing the achievement gap, and other indicators such as graduation and attendance rates. Schools may also earn up to seven points via "extra credit" based upon high performance on state and industry assessments as well as for students earning a score of 3 or higher on Advanced Placement exams. Not all indicators apply to every school; for example, third-grade reading proficiency will not factor into a high school's score. Additionally, not all measures are applicable this year; the "closing the achievement gap" category does not apply to schools until the end of the 2013-14 school year. To provide detail on the schools and students this initiative may affect, Research for Action (RFA) has prepared an initial analysis based on publicly-available data from PDE. Decades of research show income stratification is one of the strongest predictors of student outcomes. Since SPP scores are heavily weighted based on standardized test scores, schools that enroll high numbers of traditionally-disadvantaged students face particular challenges in meeting the eligibility requirements for the initiative. RFA will provide additional analysis of implications of the Governor's budget address in the weeks ahead.
