Download or read book Educational Policy Goes to School written by Gilberto Q. Conchas and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Educational policies explicitly implemented in order to reduce educational gaps and promote access and success for disenfranchised youth can backfire—and often have the unintended result of widening those gaps. In this interdisciplinary collection of case studies, contributors examine cases of policy backfire, when policies don’t work, have unintended consequences, and when policies help. Although policy reform is thought of as an effective way to improve schooling structures and to diminish the achievement gap, many such attempts to reform the system do not adequately address the legacy of unequal policies and the historic and pervasive inequalities that persist in schools. Exploring the roots of school inequality and examining often-ignored negative policy outcomes, contributors illuminate the causes and consequences of poor policymaking decisions and demonstrate how policies can backfire, fail, or have unintended success.

Download or read book The Educational System in the United States written by National Institute on Student Achievement, Curriculum, and Assessment (U.S.) and published by Department of Education. This book was released on 1999 with total page 248 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reports on the Case Study Project, an initiative that evaluates the experiences of math and science teachers across the United States and includes levels of schooling and achievement levels. The report focuses on typical public schools in the United States at three levels: elementary, junior high, and senior high with the intent of creating a composite profile of typical schools. The volume is divided into five chapters: "Rationale for the Study,""The Development and Implementation of Education Standards in the United States,""Individual Differences and the United States Education System,""The Role of School in United States Adolescents' Lives," and "Teachers and the Teaching Profession in the United States." Results show that the typical school had adopted curriculum standards or guidelines proposed by state departments of education, rather than by a national body. One exception to this was the influential set of national guidelines developed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Despite the general interest in standards, the choices made by parents, teachers, and students reflected many values, of which the desire for independence was one of the strongest. Students who were surveyed exhibited high optimism, especially those students from middle- class families. (RJM)

Download or read book Case Studies in Effective Schools Research written by Barbara O. Taylor and published by Kendall Hunt Publishing Company. This book was released on 1990 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Twelve case studies of school improvement are presented in this monograph. The effective schools model is based on the assumption that all students can learn; focuses on the school building organization as the unit of change; and is driven by the school-based management process. Reports submitted by 11 school districts and 1 educational resource center in response to a request from the National Center for Effective Schools Research and Development were analyzed with regard to the development of a school mission and a comprehensive school effectiveness plan. Two criteria for measuring effectiveness included equity and equality. Several lessons were learned: (1) there is no formula for success; (2) success occurs in a variety of organizational settings; (3) the findings indicated outcome evidence for school improvement; (4) central office support is important for success; (5) personnel evaluation systems must be aligned with program values; (6) teacher improvement needs a clearly defined mission, time, and resources; (7) school improvement is a complex and ongoing process; and (8) the effective schools process works best when schools and districts disaggregate and display their student performance data. The case studies illustrate common practices, describe the more pervasive barriers and opportunities encountered, and show that shared decision-making in a collaborative enterprise leads to improved staff and student morale. A glossary and appendix containing correspondence, an outline for submitting improvement plans, and a list of performance indicators are included. (LMI)
