Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary and Middle Magnet Schools: A Guide for Parents and Students, 1979-80 Through the input of people connected with Boston's magnet schools we have found that many innovative and exciting programs exist. We have also found, however, that at some schools there are problems with inadequate facilities. We have included quotes from parents, teachers, students and administrators which convey their Views on both the strengths and weaknesses of their schools. Editorial comments are provided based on the interviewers' observations. We are especially grateful to the parents and students who gave us their time and provided us with their impressions of the schools. It has not been our intention to evaluate these impressions of the schools from the information we gathered. Our intent has been to design a guide book that would provide parents and students with options and descriptions of programs that are available as they make decisions for the 1979 - 1980 school year. Prior to any decision, we urge that you visit the school and examine the educational program and atmosphere. Only then will you, as parents and students, know that you have found the environment which best meets your needs and priorities. Guidelines developed by the State Department of Education mandate the involvement of parents and teachers in the planning and approval of proposals developed for funding under Chapter 636. Two categories of programs funded under this law are those developed through the court mandated university - school pairings and cultural collaborative efforts. We identify universities and cultural institutions within the City of Boston, which work together with a particular school to create and put to use educational, business and cultural programs for students within the school. The unique educational and cultural services which are provided by these pairings complement the magnet theme, which in itself is what influences the educational program of the particular school. The findings of the interviewers may or may not be supported by school authorities. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2020 FOREWORD INDIES GOLD AWARD IN EDUCATION WINNER OF THE SILVER IPPY AWARD FOR BEST EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES You want your children to benefit from a great education. But every student is unique. One type of school might be a great fit for your neighbor's child, but it might not work for your son or daughter. Across the country, many parents today have more choices for their children's education than ever before. If you are starting the process of finding your child's first school—or if you want to choose a new learning environment—The School Choice Roadmap is for you. This first-of-its-kind book offers a practical, jargon-free overview of school choice policies, from public school open enrollment to private school scholarships and more. It breaks down the similarities and differences between traditional public schools, public charter schools, public magnet schools, online public schools, private schools, and homeschooling. Most importantly, The School Choice Roadmap offers a seven-step process that will help you harness the power of your own intuition—and your own expertise about your child's uniqueness—to help you find a school that reflects your family's goals, values, and priorities. Filled with sage advice from dozens of other parents who have pursued the school search process, and interviews with school leaders and teachers, The School Choice Roadmap is an optimistic, empowering book that cuts through the confusion in K-12 education—so that you can give your children every opportunity to succeed in school and in life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in print for use in your courses, this classic text features a new introduction by the author that situates the book in the context of present-day educational debates. This historic study analyzes the organizational and political pressures that combined to make three magnet schools distinctive social environments, a rare glimpse at the critical processes with which teachers and students in both "regular" schools and schools of choice must constantly struggle. In her new introduction, Metz discusses many of today's hot topics, including school choice, curricular reform, and school equity. She also looks at what has transpired in the school district and the schools since her study was first published two decades ago. The depth of detail in these case studies, along with the clear and systematic discussion of each school in terms of the theoretical framework provided by the author, make this a sought-after textbook for educational policy and school organization courses.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The effectiveness of magnet schools in providing racially balanced learning environments for students and the overall quality of the education they provide were studied in an investigation of 11 magnet school campuses in Federal Region F, which includes Arkansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. Sites included three elementary schools, four middle school or junior high schools, and four high schools. Data were collected through on-site observations and interviews with the local on-site coordinators and appropriate local officials. Findings suggest that, as a desegregation strategy of choice, magnet schools are seen to be a viable alternative for creating schools that work for all students regardless of race, sex, and national origin. If the practices that work best in magnet schools could be transferred to all schools, quality equitable learning experiences would result. Maintaining magnet schools as pockets of excellence will not meet the needs of the nation's students in the year 2000 and beyond. Therefore, it is in everyone's collective interest to adopt the promising practices of magnet schools as part of the ongoing operations of non-magnet schools when and wherever possible. Appendix A discusses research instrumentation, and Appendix B contains the study's 12 figures. (Contains 12 tables, 12 figures, and 12 references.) (SLD)

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children in today's world are inundated with information about who to be, what to do and how to live. But what if there was a way to teach children how to manage priorities, focus on goals and be a positive influence on the world around them? The Leader in Meis that programme. It's based on a hugely successful initiative carried out at the A.B. Combs Elementary School in North Carolina. To hear the parents of A. B Combs talk about the school is to be amazed. In 1999, the school debuted a programme that taught The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Peopleto a pilot group of students. The parents reported an incredible change in their children, who blossomed under the programme. By the end of the following year the average end-of-grade scores had leapt from 84 to 94. This book will launch the message onto a much larger platform. Stephen R. Covey takes the 7 Habits, that have already changed the lives of millions of people, and shows how children can use them as they develop. Those habits -- be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think win-win, seek to understand and then to be understood, synergize, and sharpen the saw -- are critical skills to learn at a young age and bring incredible results, proving that it's never too early to teach someone how to live well.

Download or read book After Brown written by Charles T. Clotfelter and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-10-16 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States Supreme Court's 1954 landmark decision, Brown v. Board of Education, set into motion a process of desegregation that would eventually transform American public schools. This book provides a comprehensive and up-to-date assessment of how Brown's most visible effect--contact between students of different racial groups--has changed over the fifty years since the decision. Using both published and unpublished data on school enrollments from across the country, Charles Clotfelter uses measures of interracial contact, racial isolation, and segregation to chronicle the changes. He goes beyond previous studies by drawing on heretofore unanalyzed enrollment data covering the first decade after Brown, calculating segregation for metropolitan areas rather than just school districts, accounting for private schools, presenting recent information on segregation within schools, and measuring segregation in college enrollment. Two main conclusions emerge. First, interracial contact in American schools and colleges increased markedly over the period, with the most dramatic changes occurring in the previously segregated South. Second, despite this change, four main factors prevented even larger increases: white reluctance to accept racially mixed schools, the multiplicity of options for avoiding such schools, the willingness of local officials to accommodate the wishes of reluctant whites, and the eventual loss of will on the part of those who had been the strongest protagonists in the push for desegregation. Thus decreases in segregation within districts were partially offset by growing disparities between districts and by selected increases in private school enrollment.

Download or read book Educational Delusions? written by Gary Orfield and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2013-01-25 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major battle over school choice came out of struggles over equalizing and integrating schools in the civil rights era, when it became apparent that choice could be either a serious barrier or a significant tool for reaching these goals. The second large and continuing movement for choice was part of the very different anti-government, individualistic, market-based movement of a more conservative period in which many of the lessons of that earlier period were forgotten, though choice was once again presented as the answer to racial inequality. This book brings civil rights back into the center of the debate and tries to move from doctrine to empirical research in exploring the many forms of choice and their very different consequences for equity in U.S. schools. Leading researchers conclude that although helping minority children remains a central justification for choice proponents, ignoring the essential civil rights dimensions of choice plans risks compounding rather than remedying racial inequality.

Book excerpt: Magnet Schools Public Schools of Choice in a Changing Educational Landscape 2022 Edition Magnet Schools are one of the largest systems of public schools choice in the USA. This comprehensive magnet book delves into the history, research, and day-to-day work of this exciting form of education, and its impact on education today.

With descriptions of these exemplary schools as incubators of innovation, you experience magnet school effectiveness in student achievement. Magnet school successes are listed in the Top 100 High Schools, U.S. DOE's Blue Ribbon Schools, and other noted merit listings. Through voices of successful magnet school alumni, you see how strong integrated magnet schools have positively affected their lives. This book concludes by looking into the future of magnet schools in school choice. Edited by: Robert G. Brooks, Ph.D and Gladys Pack, Ph.D.

This book was released on 2013-10 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the passage of the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB), families have more freedom than ever before to make decisions about how their children are educated. Thanks to a wide array of public school choice options, including charter and magnet schools, families can customize their children's learning, which is translating into improved academic achievement throughout the nation. In the classroom itself, individualized instruction can yield tremendous results for students. Magnet schools in particular are excellent examples of how specialized programs can spark enthusiasm for learning and catalyze academic growth in students whose interests and aptitudes may not be fulfilled by their neighborhood schools. Magnets like the six elementary and middle schools profiled in this guide use themed instruction in such subjects as fine arts, leadership, and engineering to meet the needs of students from diverse backgrounds and interests. For many years, magnet schools offered families the dominant form of public school choice in America, first appearing in the 1960s as a tool to increase racial desegregation and resolve educational inequities. It may not seem fitting to deem these schools “innovative” since they have been around for nearly 40 years. However, magnet schools have a new and expanded role under NCLB, and their power for systemic reform has yet to be fully realized. In addition to maintaining diverse student populations and advancing school choice, magnet schools are reversing declining district enrollments, turning around low student performance, and serving as laboratories for promising education practices. The schools highlighted in this publication have achieved these goals despite such obstacles as budgetary constraints, the demoralizing effects of poverty, and children entering with skills far below grade level. Uniting these schools is the belief that education can empower families and revitalize communities and that every student—regardless of race, income, or zip code—deserves to be challenged and can achieve. As one administrator at a profiled school asserts, “If you can dream it, you can build it.” This guide provides examples of promising strategies and case studies for district leaders and school staff interested in building and growing their own magnet schools. The schools profiled here have adopted continuous improvement plans based on data. As a result, their students' achievement has improved significantly.

No wonder USC jumped at the chance to have her become their student. My sense of things is that mostly parents read college admissions books; high school students just don't want to take the time.
