Book excerpt: Massachusetts has reason to be proud of its record since landmark education reform legislation was passed in 1993. The state scores first in the nation in 4th and 8th grade English and math on NAEP (National Assessment of Educational Progress), the "Nation's Report Card." On international assessments, Massachusetts students lead their peers in western nations; but continue to trail Asian counterparts. This annual report focuses on the public school performance that ultimately matters most. In this first year of the report, the authors spotlight the Achilles heel of Massachusetts education: the persistent achievement gaps among low-income and minority students. When it comes to closing these gaps, Massachusetts lags behind many other states. One statistic tells the story. In 2008, there were only 65 qualifying scores in Massachusetts public high schools by African American students on Advanced Placement science exams. In the 2008-09 academic year, 10 Massachusetts high schools used AP math, science and English as "game changers" for high poverty and minority students. Another 12 high schools have joined them this year, with nearly 30 more expected to launch the program in 2010-11. Details on the Massachusetts Math and Science Initiative (MMSI) are inside the Report. Focusing on high school achievement gaps, this Report is framed around goals set by Mass Insight's 2004 Great Schools Campaign. That agenda is focused on two themes: (1) Excellence: especially in math and science; and (2) No Excuses: Turnaround of 100 failing Massachusetts schools, the bottom 5% in the state.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Society, Schools and Progress in the U.S.A is one of a mutually supporting series of books on Society, Schools and Progress in a number of important countries or regions. The books in the series are arranged in a fairly uniform pattern. They all begin with the historical and institutional background. They then go on to describe administration, the school system, family influences, and background social forces in much the same order of progression. The series is intended to serve students of sociology, government and politics, as well as education. This book deals with the specific case of the United States of America. It considers the American contribution to world-wide expectations. It examines how the American debate is no longer about the neighborhood school—it is about the American nation's identity and purpose, about efficiency in the least reorganized yet biggest industry. It analyzes the various aspects of American schools, school practices, students, teachers, teaching, and learning. It discusses how the American public school ideal has prevailed to be an inspiration and conceptual model for mankind.
Download or read book Technology in Massachusetts Schools written by Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Board of Elementary and Secondary Education shares the Governor's concern about the need to prepare students for the 21st century economy. Technology has the power to enhance students' learning, engage them, and ultimately prepare them for the competitive world beyond school. In order to prepare students for their future in this increasingly digital world, it is critical that districts provide a robust technology infrastructure, ample support for the use of technology, and increased professional development for teachers. This report uses data submitted by districts to gauge Massachusetts' progress as a state in providing the prerequisites for 21st century learning. Individual districts may want to use the report's finding to judge their own progress. Policymakers can use the information to develop strategies to support local districts as they prepare students for their future. Appendices include: (1) Local Technology Plan Guidelines; (2) District Statistics; and (3) Technology Funding. (Contains 55 footnotes.).
Download or read book Partnering for Progress written by Cara Stillings Candal and published by IAP. This book was released on 2009-06-01 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, education researchers have understood that school/university partnerships can be beneficial for education reform. K-12 institutions derive benefits from working with professors and university students, and higher education institutions use local schools as sites for teacher training and school improvement research. Partnerships between universities and entire school districts for the explicit purpose of school district turnaround are extremely rare, however. This is one reason why the longstanding partnership between Boston University and the Chelsea Public School District is truly one of a kind. In 1989 Boston University committed itself to the day to day management of Chelsea’s schools, which were beleaguered with financial, managerial, and social problems. After twenty years and in large part thanks to that Partnership, the Chelsea Public Schools, once the lowest performing in Massachusetts, have become some of the state’s highest performing urban schools. In this collection, scholars from Boston University, the Chelsea Public schools, and abroad examine the history the Boston University/Chelsea Public Schools Partnership and the important changes that are now a part of its legacy. Contributors examine both some of the promises fulfilled and some of the pitfalls encountered along the way, and they do so with an eye to how the Boston University/Chelsea experience can inform other school districts and universities interested in forging partnerships. How does a university take fiscal and managerial responsibility for a struggling school district and what are the challenges inherent to such a unique relationship? What specific resources can a university bring to a struggling school district and how does a school district in turn contribute to the betterment of the university? Also, how does a longstanding partnership survive and thrive in the midst of a dynamic federal and state education reform climate? The lessons outlined in this volume should be informative for researchers, policy makers, and school and university leaders interested in the possibilities that school/university partnerships hold for true education reform.

Book excerpt: This book reviews the benefits of Catholic education in Massachusetts, and offers recommendations to help these schools increase student enrollment. It includes nine chapters from a range of authors; a foreword by George Weigel, author of an international bestselling two-part biography of Pope St. John Paul II; and an introduction from former Ambassadors to the Holy See Raymond Flynn and Mary Ann Glendon. The book contends that Catholic schools in Massachusetts must focus on the characteristics that make them academically successful and distinguish them from traditional public schools, but must also seek new models and governance structures that will help them achieve financial sustainability. At the same time, barriers to public support of the schools should be eliminated. Catholic schools in Massachusetts deliver high test scores, high college attendance and graduation rates. The majority of elementary schools in the Archdiocese of Boston are in urban areas and disproportionately serve poor and minority families. Parents of all faiths and beliefs are also drawn to the unrelenting focus on achievement, classic liberal arts education, discipline and values that are part of a Catholic education. Despite these outstanding results, the number of Catholic schools in Boston has fallen from 225 in 1942 to 124 in 2020. Twenty have closed since 2015 and another 10 have shuttered during the pandemic, with a disproportionate impact on poor and working-class communities. Catholic educators are developing new models to address these challenges, and the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Espinoza v. Montana Department of Revenue was an important step toward invalidating so-called Blaine Amendments to the constitutions of Massachusetts and many other states that prohibit public money from flowing to religious schools. The book includes a proposal for a tax credit scholarship program for Massachusetts that would likely have been impermissible prior to Espinoza.
