Book excerpt: "The purpose of this research was to investigate the condition of public school arts education programs under the No Child Left Behind Act and gain views and insights on educators{u2019} teaching experiences under the federal policy. Both qualitative and quantitative approaches were utilized to conduct a case study of an Ohio public school district. The descriptive data collected for the research revealed changes in the curriculum for arts education, particularly in music. Information obtained from teacher interviews provided context in which the changes occurred, and it was the teacher interviews that brought about a more accurate representation of just how much learning opportunities in the arts had decreased. More specifically, the information illustrated how arts education was threatened by administrative decisions that were being made to improve test scores and accommodate policies mandated by the No Child Left Behind Act. Specific research questions for this study focused on NCLB{u2019}s affect on arts education in the school district. For example, we wanted to know if instructional time for the arts had been affected by the federal policy and whether the district{u2019}s curriculum changed under NCLB. We also wanted to know if arts teachers and non arts teachers made adjustments to their classroom practices and if changes in teaching strategies were effective. And finally, we wanted to see if school budgets and spending on arts education had changed since NCLB went into effect in 2002."--abstract.

Book Synopsis No Child Left Behind Act by : Morgan Tucker
Download or read book No Child Left Behind Act written by Morgan Tucker and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No Child Left Behind (NCLB), the current version of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ASEA), a landmark federal law established in 1965, originated with the George W. Bush administration in 2001 and was signed into law on January 8, 2002. Its primary goal was to focus on the core areas of the education curriculum, including arts education, and establish a plan for education reform with standards-based measures. Over the past decade, NCLB has been an incentive for schools to focus strongly on measurable core areas, more specifically reading and math. According to the summary of findings from NCLB: A Study of Its Impact on Art Education Programs by F. Robert Sabol, Ph. D. of Purdue University, supported by a grant from the National Art Education Foundation in February 2010, “NCLB has caused the American public to focus its attention on the purposes of education in the United States and its expectations for the education systems in the nation. As the era of NCLB comes to a close with the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, the continued inclusion of the arts as one of the core subjects is more important than ever to have in the legislation as the nation moves forward on a renewed agenda for improving America’s schools. While the arts have been included among the core subjects in this important legislation, they have yet to realize parity in the curriculum with other core subjects.” Answering this need for parity, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C. has been working diligently to assist schools in the District as well as across the country to overcome this shortcoming by providing various programs to support communities, schools, teachers, administrators, families, artists, and students. The Kennedy Center is both a unique provider of arts education and an important reflection of the impact of NCLB on arts education in the nation as a whole as the National Cultural Center. In the following study, the researcher attempted to reveal the correlation between NCLB and the need for change within one specific Kennedy Center program to improve it to help assist schools with the legislation.

Book Synopsis No Child Left Behind by : William Hayes
Download or read book No Child Left Behind written by William Hayes and published by R&L Education. This book was released on 2008-08-14 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While few would quarrel with the goal of the No Child Left Behind legislation, the nation is badly divided over whether the law is having a positive effect on our schools. At the same time, it is also true that most Americans, including many professional educators, have only a limited understanding of the content and scope of the legislation. As we are currently engaged in a national debate about the future role of the federal government in the field of education, it is essential that people become better informed about the history, content, and results of No Child Left Behind. This book is a valuable tool informing the current discussion on the reauthorization of the law. As a result, the reader will be better able to make up his own mind as to the direction we should take as a nation in pursuing the noble objective of ensuring that no child is left behind.

Book Synopsis Fatigued by School Reform by : Jack Jennings
Download or read book Fatigued by School Reform written by Jack Jennings and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-04-13 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a half-a-century of school reform, a majority of Americans consider the public schools as worse today than when they attended school. Those reforms missed the mark because they were not focused on the backgrounds of the students’ parents--by far the most important indicator of students’ progress in school. The importance of parents was documented by the Coleman Report more than 50 years ago. School reform must be continued but re-directed to over-come the power of low parental socio-economic status. The best way to improve the schools is to create a better, fairer economy providing parents with good jobs and decent wages. In the meantime, good pre-school, after-school, and other aids are needed to help students from low income families. Teacher quality, although not as influential as the parents’ backgrounds, is the second most significant indicator of student success. Teachers, like parents, have not been the focus of the attention their importance deserves. In particular, teachers should be fairly paid, and their verbal and cognitive skills improved. The Coleman Report again documented the importance of those skills more than half-a-century ago. Instead, money, time, and effort have been spent on reforms that won’t bring about great improvement because they did not address adequately those two important factors.
Book Synopsis Many Children Left Behind by : Deborah Meier
Download or read book Many Children Left Behind written by Deborah Meier and published by Beacon Press. This book was released on 2004-09-29 with total page 117 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Signed into law in 2002, the federal No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) promised to revolutionize American public education. Originally supported by a bipartisan coalition, it purports to improve public schools by enforcing a system of standards and accountability through high-stakes testing. Many people supported it originally, despite doubts, because of its promise especially to improve the way schools serve poor children. By making federal funding contingent on accepting a system of tests and sanctions, it is radically affecting the life of schools around the country. But, argue the authors of this citizen's guide to the most important political issue in education, far from improving public schools and increasing the ability of the system to serve poor and minority children, the law is doing exactly the opposite. Here some of our most prominent, respected voices in education-including school innovator Deborah Meier, education activist Alfie Kohn, and founder of the Coalition of Essential Schools Theodore R. Sizer-come together to show us how, point by point, NCLB undermines the things it claims to improve: * How NCLB punishes rather than helps poor and minority kids and their schools * How NCLB helps further an agenda of privatization and an attack on public schools * How the focus on testing and test preparation dumbs down classrooms * And they put forward a richly articulated vision of alternatives. Educators and parents around the country are feeling the harshly counterproductive effects of NCLB. This book is an essential guide to understanding what's wrong and where we should go from here.

Book excerpt: A leader in art therapy shares powerful developments in the field and provides a road-map for unlocking the spiritual and emotional healing benefits of creative expression The field of art therapy is discovering that artistic expression can be a powerful means of personal transformation and emotional and spiritual healing. In this book, Shaun McNiff—a leader in expressive arts therapy for more than three decades—reflects on a wide spectrum of activities aimed at reviving art’s traditional healing function. In chapters ranging from “Liberating Creativity” and “The Practice of Creativity in the Workplace” to “From Shamanism to Art Therapy,” he illuminates some of the most progressive views in the rapidly expanding field of art therapy, including: • The “practice of imagination” as a powerful force for transformation • A challenge to literal-minded psychological interpretations of artworks (“black colors indicate depression”) and the principle that even disturbing images have inherent healing properties • The role of the therapist in promoting an environment conducive to free expression and therapeutic energies • The healing effects of group work, with people creating alongside one another and interacting in the studio • “Total expression,” combining arts such as movement, storytelling, and drumming with painting and drawing

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After a decade of educational reforms, The Challenge to Care in Schools is even more relevant now than when it was first published. In her new Introduction, Nel Noddings revisits her seminal book and places care as central to current debates on standardization, accountability, privatization, and the continuous struggle between traditional and progressive methods of education. Rather then forcing one side to yield to the other, this book advocates an alternative, “responsive system” that will allow the best ideas to flourish. In the Second Edition, Noddings once again envisions a school system built on the idea that different people have different strengths, and that these strengths should be cultivated in an environment of caring, not of competition. She suggests that if we make the responsiveness characteristic of caring more basic than accountability, we can accommodate both traditional and progressive preferences in one school system to the benefit of all . . . especially the children. Chapters address the practical and theoretical questions involved in organizing traditional and nontraditional areas of study around themes of care. Introductory chapters focus on caring in general and on the problems of liberal education, while the final chapter offers sound advice for implementing a caring curriculum in our schools. Praise for the First Edition! "A welcome addition to the often fragmented discussion of what children need and what school and education should be." —Harvard Educational Review "I recommend this book to all concerned about education, personally and/or professionally." —Journal of Moral Education "In the morass of school reform that calls for such changes as national standards, improved assessments, and new ways of organizing schooling, Noddings provides lucid thinking about the priorities we ought to consider." —Teachers College Record
