Book excerpt: In the past decade, states have taken an increasingly active role in designing new policies intended to reform America's high schools. This book offers a systematic, empirical look at the most widely adopted policy reform strategy--mandatory changes in high school graduation requirements. Maryland is used as a case study, exploring five representative high schools and presenting an in-depth discussion of their experiences with mandated reform. The first of eight chapters, Chapter 1, "Introduction," sets the context and the research strategy. Chapter 2, "The Role of the States in the Reform Movement of the 1980s," deals with research on graduation requirements and tracking. Chapter 3, "Where's the Action? Students, Teachers, and the Curriculum," looks at student credits and courses, graduation requirements, and teachers' views on curricular change. Change 4, "Who's Winning? Tracks, Tracking Systems, and Access to Resources," gives the views of teachers and students on tracking. Chapter 5, "Who's Losing? Students and Teachers at Risk," investigates dropouts, students, teachers, and departments at risk. Chapter 6, "Who's in Control? Key Actors and Their Influence on Policy Implementation," gives the perspectives of state staff, district and school administrators, and counselors. Chapter 7, "What's the Bottom Line? Policy Intentions and the Perception of Effects," details policy intentions, and school-level and consumer perceptions of policy effects. Chapter 8, "Educational Reform: Retrospect and Prospect," looks at the first wave of reform, educational reform and challenges in the 1990s, and a framework for reform. Two appendices give the research methods and tables of sample sizes. (Contains 161 references.) (RR)

Book excerpt: It is worrisome that the modern educational sectors are deteriorating gradually. Our standard of education has declined to a state where drastic effort is needed urgently to correct the situation, or the future of our great nations, even our world in general, will be defeated.

That's why most our graduates lacked the relevant knowledge, ideas and information to contribute to the global economies.The school is where most youths will probably spend about seventeen years of their life. These can be years of drudgery or of discovery. However, the school should be a place of discovery. Much depends on how you use those school years. Jerry Young and David Filo created the first web dictionary while they were students at Stanford University, and they went on to found Yahoo after their graduation. Mark Zuckerberg founded the Facebook while still a student at Harvard University. The school is where you acquire the relevant knowledge and ideas that will enable you to discover and develop your inborn abilities and talents and, thereby, become an effective person in life and make a noteworthy contribution to your World. The book project the keys to academic excellence in students, teachers and everyone in the educational sectorsRead this book, and you will learn: 1.The keys to academic achievement.2.The major difference between excellent and average students.3.How to overcome academic failures.4.The major factors to be considered before pursuing an academic field. What do you intend to become in life? Are you a law student aspiring to become the next Lord Atkins, or a medical student aspiring to become the next Ben Carson who will make a mark on the medical world? Are you a science student who desires to make a new discovery in the science world, or a political science student who wants to change the political history of your locality? The secrets revealed in this book will lead you to achieving success in your academic pursuit and attain greatness in your academic and life pursuits.

Book excerpt: A revolutionary new educational model that encourages educators to provide spaces for students to display their academic brilliance without sacrificing their identities Building on the ideas introduced in his New York Times best-selling book, For White Folks Who Teach in the Hood, Christopher Emdin introduces an alternative educational model that will help students (and teachers) celebrate ratchet identity in the classroom. Ratchetdemic advocates for a new kind of student identity—one that bridges the seemingly disparate worlds of the ivory tower and the urban classroom. Because modern schooling often centers whiteness, Emdin argues, it dismisses ratchet identity (the embodying of “negative” characteristics associated with lowbrow culture, often thought to be possessed by people of a particular ethnic, racial, or socioeconomic status) as anti-intellectual and punishes young people for straying from these alleged “academic norms,” leaving young people in classrooms frustrated and uninspired. These deviations, Emdin explains, include so-called “disruptive behavior” and a celebration of hip-hop music and culture. Emdin argues that being “ratchetdemic,” or both ratchet and academic (like having rap battles about science, for example), can empower students to embrace themselves, their backgrounds, and their education as parts of a whole, not disparate identities. This means celebrating protest, disrupting the status quo, and reclaiming the genius of youth in the classroom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In today's school environment educational leaders are mandated to use academic standards to measure the progress of their school's teachers and students. Despite the wealth of material that addresses the topic of academic standards there is little written for those who must lead the effort to put in place an effective standards system. The Leader's Guide to Standards is a landmark book-- written by Douglas Reeves, an expert in academic standards, performance assessment, and accountability-- that shows school principals, assistant principals, teachers, and district-level administrators how to build a comprehensive accountability system for standards-based reform that focuses on leadership skills. Reeves offers practical recommendations for assessing and nurturing teacher performance, setting up balanced assessment and accountability policies, and making the case for standards to the public. In addition, the book addresses the vital role that policymakers from the local school board to state and national leaders play in the successful implementation of educational standards.
