This book was released on 2014-01-29 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In President Obama's first address to Congress, he challenged America to meet an ambitious goal for education: By 2020, we will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world. Meeting this goal is vital for securing our long-term economic security, because the country that out-educates us today will out-compete us tomorrow. We must work to ensure that all children and adults in America receive a world-class education that will prepare them to succeed in college and careers for rich and fulfilling lives in a vibrant and prosperous democracy. We often refer to the President's goal as the “North Star” for the work of the U.S. Department of Education as described in this fiscal year (FY) 2011–2014 Strategic Plan. A generation ago, we ranked first in the world in the rate of college degree attainment for 25- to 34-year-olds; now we rank 16th, and the global achievement gap is growing.1 Reaching the President's goal will require comprehensive education reforms from cradle to career, beginning with children at birth, supporting them through postsecondary education, and helping them succeed as lifelong learners who can adapt to the constant changes in the diverse and technology-driven workplaces of the global economy. Our youngest children must be in early learning environments that prepare them for success in kindergarten and beyond. We must continue to close the achievement gap and ensure that elementary and secondary school students are on track to graduate from high school ready for college and careers. Once students enroll in a postsecondary education institution—whether at a trade or technical school, community college, a liberal arts college, a state university, or a research university—we must provide support and assistance to help them complete their certificates and degrees, with grants, loans, tax credits, and work-study assistance. Doing this will equip them with the knowledge and skills to participate and engage in the nation's future. Finally, at every level of the education system, we must promote competency in the arts and sciences to promote our competitiveness in a 21st century economy. Our Strategic Plan sets specific objectives for each of these goals and explains what the Department will do to support youth, adults, families, and education professionals in meeting them.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Fiscal Year 2011-2014 Strategic Plan (this Plan) addresses the key outcome-oriented goals below, focusing on reaching the President's 2020 goal. These goals focus on improving student achievement to increase high school graduation, college completion, and educational attainment--all measures of how the country is performing and how far it has to go. This Plan sets forth a strategy that focuses on improving these "national outcomes" for all groups of students. Because these outcome measures will not change overnight, the Department has also outlined a set of performance measures, closely linked to the Department's own activities, that can serve as indicators of the country's progress. The specific years referenced in the measures vary because they reflect the most recently available data and comparison years that are available and appropriate for each measure.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Five years after the bipartisan passage of the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001," the U.S. Department of Education remains dedicated to promoting education excellence in every corner of the country. The Department's "Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2007-12" sets high expectations for America's schools and students, and for itself. It is committed to giving students the skills they need to succeed in a highly competitive global economy. To this end, the Department has set out three important goals in this plan that address the following three priorities: (1) Increase student achievement, reward qualified teachers, and renew troubled schools so that every student can read and do math at grade level by 2014, as called for by the No Child Left Behind Act; (2) Encourage more rigorous and advanced coursework to improve the academic performance of our middle and high school students; and (3) Work with colleges and universities to improve access, affordability, and accountability, so that America's higher education system remains the world's finest. High expectations for management of the Department are being set by creating a cross-cutting goal focused on excellent management practices, fiscal integrity, and a culture of high performance. NCLB provides a strong foundation on which to build these positive results. Data show that the law is working to improve student achievement and close the nation's achievement gap. This report describes the following Department's goals: (1) Improve student achievement, with a focus on bringing all students to grade level in reading and mathematics by 2014; (2) Increase the academic achievement of all high school students; and (3) Ensure the accessibility, affordability, and accountability of higher education, and better prepare students and adults for employment and future learning. It also describes the cross-goal strategy on management. Although this strategic plan covers fiscal year (FY) 2007, the U.S. Department of Education's annual performance plan and annual performance and accountability report for FY 2007 will use the key measures for that year that are related to the goals of the expiring Department strategic plan FY 2002-07. The key measures included in this document will be effective for the Department beginning with FY 2008. (Contains 15 tables.).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a focus on a broad spectrum of topics--race, ethnicity, gender, disability, and sexual orientation at the federal, tribal, state, and local levels--this book equips readers to better understand the complex, real-world challenges public administrators confront in serving an increasingly diverse society. The book's main themes include: What is cultural competency and why is it important?

Download or read book Unconditional Education written by Robin Detterman and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of reform, America's public schools continue to fail particular groups of students; the greatest opportunity gaps are faced by those whose achievement is hindered by complex stressors, including disability, trauma, poverty, and institutionalized racism. When students' needsoverwhelm the neighborhood schools assigned to serve them, they are relegated to increasingly isolated educational environments. These placements negatively impact students by reinforcing patterns of institutionalization and persistent exclusion.Unconditional Education (UE) offers an alternate approach that transforms schools into communities where all students can thrive. Within UE schools, student supports are deployed when and where they are needed. Realignment of the resources associated with serving high-needs youth allows students toremain in their natural communities while schools gain access to the academic, behavioral, and clinical expertise required to support them. Furthermore, UE reduces the need for more intensive and costly future remediation by pairing a holistic, multi-tiered system of supports with an intentionalfocus on overall culture and climate, and promotes systematic coordination and integration of funding and services by identifying gaps and eliminating redundancies to increase the efficient allocation of available resources. This book is an essential resource for mental health and educationalstakeholders (i.e., school social workers, therapists, teachers, school administrators, and district-level leaders) who are interested in adopting an unconditional approach to supporting the students within their schools.
