Book Synopsis Lessons in School Funding by : Terry Whitney
Download or read book Lessons in School Funding written by Terry Whitney and published by National Conference of State. This book was released on 1992 with total page 8 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: State litigation involving unconstitutional school financing systems are described in this document, which focuses on efforts in Texas to reform the financing of public education. Since its school finance system was declared unconstitutional in 1987, two subsequent proposals have been struck down by the Texas Supreme Court for the following reasons: (1) the proposals relied too heavily on local property taxes; and (2) a county education district plan essentially created a statewide property tax, which was against Texas law. The efforts of state lawmakers in Kentucky and New Jersey are also described. A conclusion is that states' school financing conflicts are far from over. In the majority of school finance litigation cases, the common thread is the focus on equitable resources for all schools. Additionally, courts have been asked to determine the basis of an adequate system of financing public education. Two maps that depict the legal status of states' education finance systems are included. (Contains 16 references.) (LMI)

Book Synopsis Fund the Child by : Thomas B. Fordham Foundation, Washington, DC.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Education funding today is a mess, and a solution is needed that addresses its biggest problems: most disadvantaged students do not receive the funding they need; red tape and overhead waste time and money; and new types of education options, like charter schools, are starved for dollars. Unfortunately, until now, so-called solutions have consisted of nothing more than soothing slogans and gimmicks. But a broad, bipartisan coalition now urges a new method of funding the nation's public schools--one that finally ensures the students who need the most receive it, that empowers school leaders to make key decisions, and that opens the door to public school choice. It is a 100 percent solution to the most pressing problems in public school funding--and it is called Weighted Student Funding. This proposal's signatories call on policymakers to transform the school funding system in service of meeting the nation's high ambitions for student learning. Weighted Student Funding, the best hope for achieving equity and accommodating the nation's new diversity of options, is a system of school funding based on five principles and would be much fairer than the current system: (1) Funding should follow the child, on a per-student basis, to the public school that he/she attends; (2) Per-student funding should vary according to the child's need and other relevant circumstances; (3) It should arrive at the school as real dollars (i.e., not teaching positions, ratios, or staffing norms) that can be spent flexibly, with accountability systems focused more on results and less on inputs, programs, or activities; (4) These principles for allocating money to schools should apply to all levels (e.g., federal funds going to states, state funds going to districts, districts to schools); and (5) Funding systems should be simplified and made transparent. In recognizing that successfully moving to weighted student funding is challenging, this report considers a whole range of design challenges: what funds to include in the system; how to set the weights that determine the funding provided for each child; how to handle tricky issues such as restrictive teacher seniority rules and local tax funding; and how to ensure that students attending all kinds of public schools are fairly funded. The report also tackles a set of implementation challenges: how to identify and classify students; how to build the capacity of schools and systems to handle new responsibilities; how to build broad support for the new approach; and how to make the transition from where the nation is now to where it needs to go. (Contains 80 endnotes.) [This report was published by the Thomas B. Fordham Institute. Additional funding for this project was provided by the Walton Family Foundation.].

Book Synopsis Public Education, Neoliberalism, and Teachers by : Paul Bocking
Download or read book Public Education, Neoliberalism, and Teachers written by Paul Bocking and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 2020-04-02 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pressure to "teach to the test" and the use of quantitative metrics to define education "quality," to the rise of "school choice" and the shift of principals from colleagues to managers, teachers in New York, Mexico City, and Toronto have experienced strikingly similar challenges to their professional autonomy. By visiting schools and meeting teachers, government officials, and union leaders, Paul Bocking identifies commonalities that are shaping how teachers work and public schools function. While arguing that neoliberal education policy is a dominant trend transcending the realities of school districts, states, or national governments, Bocking also demonstrates the importance of local context to explain variations in education governance, especially when understanding the role of resistance led by teachers’ unions.

Book Synopsis The Benefits and Costs of Good Child Care by : Gordon Cleveland
Download or read book The Benefits and Costs of Good Child Care written by Gordon Cleveland and published by Childcare Resource & Research Unit, University of Toronto. This book was released on 1998 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report details an assessment of the economic impact of a major investment of public money in good quality child care for Canadian children 2 to 5 years of age. Chapter 1 provides an extended discussion of the background and techniques of economic analysis used to make judgments about the economic benefits and costs of child care. Chapter 2 reviews evidence concerning the developmental and educational impacts of child care on young children. Chapter 3 presents and analyzes evidence concerning the economic impacts of child care on mothers' participation in the labor force in particular, and on family life in general. Chapter 4 considers the economy-wide employment effects and the macroeconomic effects of potential child care programs. Chapter 5 calculates, using a variety of approximation techniques, the value of the benefits and the costs of a program of high quality child care for all preschoolers. Chapter 6 presents the conclusions, which note that the incremental benefits of the identified changes to child care arrangements in Canada amount to approximately two dollars for every dollar of cost to the public purse. The report argues that society has the responsibility to care for preschool and school-age children, and to provide parental leave from work. Appendices include, "Problems with Studies on Child Development" and "Methodology of Costs and Benefits Calculation." (Contains approximately 200 references.) (KB)

Book Synopsis Decolonizing Education by : Marie Battiste
Download or read book Decolonizing Education written by Marie Battiste and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2017-04-04 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on treaties, international law, the work of other Indigenous scholars, and especially personal experiences, Marie Battiste documents the nature of Eurocentric models of education, and their devastating impacts on Indigenous knowledge. Chronicling the negative consequences of forced assimilation, racism inherent to colonial systems of education, and the failure of current educational policies for Aboriginal populations, Battiste proposes a new model of education, arguing the preservation of Aboriginal knowledge is an Aboriginal right. Central to this process is the repositioning of Indigenous humanities, sciences, and languages as vital fields of knowledge, revitalizing a knowledge system which incorporates both Indigenous and Eurocentric thinking.
