Book Synopsis Review of "Expanding Choice in Elementary and Secondary Education by : Janelle Scott
Download or read book Review of "Expanding Choice in Elementary and Secondary Education written by Janelle Scott and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Expanding Choice in Elementary and Secondary Education: A Report on Rethinking the Federal Role in Education" presents a seemingly egalitarian prescription for the federal government to expand school choice. An examination of the arguments and evidence for increasing choice, however, reveals at least three important shortcomings. First, the authors tend to overuse research that is still in progress and research produced by advocacy organizations and think tanks, leading them to be overly optimistic about particular school choice reforms' effects on educational achievement, access and equity. The second oversight is the neglect of important scholarship, causing the authors to fail to acknowledge the complex social and political dynamics informing parental choice processes as well as choice schools' practices that limit and shape their student enrollments. A third shortcoming emerges from this omission: the authors do not sufficiently consider issues of diversity, including the social categories of race, ethnicity, special education, and English Learners. They fail to acknowledge that some school choice reforms have had segregative effects. As such, in the singular pursuit of their goal to universally expand school choice the authors miss an opportunity to affirm the federal role in ensuring the creation of diverse, equitable, and high-quality choice schools that would produce individual and societal benefits. (Contains 22 notes.) [This paper reviews the following document: "Expanding Choice in Elementary and Secondary Education: A Report on Rethinking the Federal Role in Education" (ED508201).].

Book Synopsis Federal Aid to Elementary and Secondary Education by : Paul Manna
Download or read book Federal Aid to Elementary and Secondary Education written by Paul Manna and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper aims to inform federal education policy by examining Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), and two federal efforts to improve teacher quality, the Eisenhower Professional Development Program and the highly qualified teacher provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). Reviewing the evaluation literature on federal policies on education over the past five decades, the author observes that: (1) Federal education policies have made positive contributions, but usually fall short of reaching ambitiously stated goals; (2) Increased federal involvement in elementary and secondary education has provided students and teachers with important opportunities or guarantees while simultaneously contributing to a complex and fragmented regulatory environment that federal, state, and local officials struggle to manage; (3) Federal education policies have attempted to help state and local governments to leverage their own activities, moving some reforms forward but also making it difficult to assess specific impacts of federal contributions; and (4) Success of federal education policies is closely linked to the success of the systems and initiatives developed by state and local governments. The following operating principles are advocated: (1) Federal initiatives should be harmonized to minimize the complexity that arises when multiple program silos operate simultaneously; (2) As far as possible, federal policies should make education data and practices transparent to observers inside and outside government; (3) The federal government should invest heavily in research and development to identify educational practices and interventions that have proven effectiveness; and (4) Federal leaders should use the bully pulpit to highlight the nation's educational progress and to troubleshoot the challenges that confront governments at all levels as they try to improve America's system of elementary and secondary education. Distance from the ground level gives federal leaders a unique and encompassing view of the system, which can help identify important leverage points to promote reforms. That same overarching view can frustrate federal efforts, especially those that rely on particular mechanisms applied across 50 different states and nearly 15,000 diverse school districts. Recognizing both the strengths and weaknesses of their position can help federal policymakers make the most of their capabilities and, in the process, help states and localities make the most of theirs. An appendix of evaluation studies cited in the report is included. (Contains 12 footnotes and 2 tables.) [This paper was commissioned by the Center on Education Policy for its project on Rethinking the Federal Role in Education.].

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One civil rights-era law has reshaped American society—and contributed to the country's ongoing culture wars Few laws have had such far-reaching impact as Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Intended to give girls and women greater access to sports programs and other courses of study in schools and colleges, the law has since been used by judges and agencies to expand a wide range of antidiscrimination policies—most recently the Obama administration’s 2016 mandates on sexual harassment and transgender rights. In this comprehensive review of how Title IX has been implemented, Boston College political science professor R. Shep Melnick analyzes how interpretations of "equal educational opportunity" have changed over the years. In terms accessible to non-lawyers, Melnick examines how Title IX has become a central part of legal and political campaigns to correct gender stereotypes, not only in academic settings but in society at large. Title IX thus has become a major factor in America's culture wars—and almost certainly will remain so for years to come.

Book Synopsis Reading, Writing, and Regulations by : Courtney Collins
Download or read book Reading, Writing, and Regulations written by Courtney Collins and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its inception, the education system in the United States has been structured in a very decentralized way. The federal government has historically played a limited role in public schools, leaving the majority of decisions to be made at the state and local level. The extent of federal involvement began to widen, however, in 1965 with the passage of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). While the original legislation was relatively narrow in purpose, its scope broadened dramatically with subsequent amendments and reauthorizations. This study provides a survey of how federal education legislation and associated regulations have increased across time, highlighting the changes generated by the ESEA and its successors, as well as recent developments in programs like Race to the Top and Common Core. Both the descriptive summary and empirical measurements show strong?and sometimes very rapid?growth of federal influence.

This book was released on 1982 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifteen papers commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education's School Finance Project are contained in this volume. The papers examine the changing dimensions of the federal-state partnership in education. The volume is organized into four sections. The first section is devoted to state educational policy concerns, including various state approaches to improving educational quality, school finance reform, and the states' relationship to special needs students. In the second section, the focus is on lessons states can learn from federal education programs, including material on federal strategies used prior to 1981 to deliver services to target groups such as the disadvantaged or handicapped, federal strategies for educational improvement, and what past experience with different types of federal programs can teach about intervention effectiveness. Consolidated and block grants as an alternative framework for federal-state programs and the probable responses of state education agencies to such programs are the subjects of the third section. The final section offers recommendations for restructuring the federal-state partnership in education, including the suggestion that the federal government adopt differential treatment for states that are merely adapting federal programs and states that are not complying. The suggestion is made that one form of differentiating (waivers) would be expensive and cumbersome. Other recommendations concern school-based strategies for school improvement and federal and state policies that reward improvement of learning. (JM)
