It also supports recruiting ethnic studies teachers and expanding the program in future years if funds allow.
The Use of Media Literacy Instructional Strategies for Promoting Intercultura...Renee Hobbs
A six-week pilot project explored using media literacy pedagogy to promote intercultural communication between middle school students in the United States and Turkey. Students from Saint Mark's School in California and Gokkusagi Middle School in Turkey analyzed TV shows about high school and discussed current events. While American students lacked knowledge about Turkish culture, Turkish students knew more about American popular culture. Discussing politics in Turkey made Turkish students uncomfortable. The project found that media literacy activities online can help mitigate asymmetrical cultural knowledge between the countries' adolescents.
The resolution supports increasing access to Advanced Placement (AP) courses in the San Francisco Unified School District by offering open enrollment district-wide AP courses outside of regular school hours. It notes inequities in the availability of AP courses across high schools and underrepresentation of minority students in AP courses. The resolution requests the district offer a selection of core AP courses to all students and provide support like counseling, transportation, and teacher training. Its goals are to advance social justice, student achievement, and the district's strategic plan.
- Education in the US is managed through a shared arrangement between state and national governments, with various levels of providers and funding sources.
- There are minimum requirements to become a teacher, such as a bachelor's degree, teacher training, and certification. Teacher training programs are available for different grade levels.
- Technology is used as both an aid in education through tools like computer-assisted instruction, and as a subject itself. Distance education and other non-traditional forms have also become more common.
- Schools use various teaching methods ranging from lectures to demonstrations, discussions, and hands-on learning. Assessment and standards-based reforms have also been implemented.
The American school system consists of pre-school (ages 3-5), primary/elementary school (kindergarten ages 5-6 and grades 1-6 ages 6-12), middle school (grades 7-8 ages 12-14), and high school (grades 9-12 ages 14-18). After high school, students can attend colleges or universities for higher education.
The document discusses the need for urgent change in American education. It provides data showing that while Texas schools have seen test score gains, students still underperform compared to national and international benchmarks. Standardized test scores and graduation rates in Texas rank below average nationwide. The document also shows widening poverty gaps and equity issues, with minorities and low-income students continuing to score lower. Globally, U.S. students are outperformed by countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, and China where education is a higher priority. The document calls for collaboration through professional learning communities to better prepare students for a global market and address these challenges.

The document summarizes the structure of the US education system from preschool through high school. It outlines the typical grade levels, ages, coursework, and extracurricular activities at each stage. It also compares public versus private school options and notes key aspects like school lunches, class schedules, grade point averages, dances, and pathways after graduation from high school.
The document discusses educational inequality and racial disparities in post-apartheid South Africa. It notes that many children live in poverty and lack access to quality education. Without reform, this will prevent social and economic mobility while perpetuating income and racial inequality. The government is argued to not do enough to ensure equal access across racial groups. Three key policy issues are identified that influence the education system: optimal resources allocation, school structures, and accessibility. The author's next steps would be to research how programs addressing economic inequality could also help reduce racial disparities. The overall goal is to create more opportunities for children neglected due to financial and racial background factors.

Schooling can contribute to social inequality in several ways according to the document. Standardized testing and tracking in schools often place students from disadvantaged backgrounds at a disadvantage. Additionally, inequality exists between public and private schools, as well as among public schools themselves that are unequally funded. This unequal schooling limits access to higher education, perpetuating social inequality. However, the expansion of community colleges in the US has increased access to higher education for many groups.

Dr. William Allan Kritsonis - Americans with Disabilities Act in Education, PPT.William Kritsonis
The Americans with Disabilities Act has evolved over time through various laws and court cases to promote equal access to education for students with disabilities. Early laws like the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 aimed to ensure students with disabilities were not excluded from public schools. Later revisions like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1990 and 1997 focused on improving educational outcomes for these students. Current laws like the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 and No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 emphasize accountability and using data-driven practices to monitor student progress. This history demonstrates how special education has shifted from a focus on access to emphasizing quality of education.

It provides background on the achievement gap between African American students and other groups. The study aims to determine if using African American students' learning styles (visual, auditory, kinesthetic) can increase their standardized test scores. It reviews literature on different learning styles and trends in African American test scores. The methodology section describes that the study was conducted at an elementary school in Alabama with a majority African American, low-income student population.
This document summarizes a workshop on college access that is presented in four parts: 1) the importance of college access, 2) the structure of college access using choice models, 3) why access is unequal and obstacles to access, and 4) solutions and discussion. It outlines Hossler and Gallagher's three stage college choice model and Freeman's model of predetermination. It then discusses obstacles underrepresented students face, including unequal educational expectations, academic qualifications, information inequalities, and inadequate financial assistance as they progress through the stages of choosing and applying to college.

Presentation by William Trent given during the March 2013 Looking Back, Moving Forward conference in Richmond, Virginia, hosted by University of Richmond and Virginia Commonwealth University.
This document analyzes school segregation trends in the Richmond, Virginia metro area from 1987-2010. It finds that while the region's student enrollment has become more racially diverse over time, high proportions of Black students continue to attend highly segregated and high-poverty schools. School segregation has been increasing within districts, and remains high between districts. Segregation overlaps with concentrated poverty, with most students in intensely segregated minority schools qualifying for free/reduced lunch.
Subsidized housing in Richmond has historically been concentrated in certain neighborhoods due to past practices of redlining. One such neighborhood was Fulton, which was a thriving community in the 1890s but by the late 1960s had fallen into disrepair and faced demolition, displacing over 3,000 residents and destroying the local history and community that had been built.
This document summarizes the key events and lessons learned from efforts to increase equity and achievement in a school district. It discusses community and parent responses to changes to school boundaries and models. It notes that the loudest voices are not the only ones that should be heard. The document reflects on who provided support and insight during challenging times, and what was learned, including the importance of hope, advocacy, and never quitting in the pursuit of equity.
This document summarizes population and enrollment trends in Kalamazoo Public Schools from 1970-2010 and compares them to other similar school districts. It also provides an overview of the Kalamazoo Promise program, which was announced in 2005 and provides free college tuition for KPS graduates. While the demographic makeup of KPS students remained relatively unchanged after the Promise, the program has correlated with increasing enrollment, improved achievement and graduation rates, higher rates of college attendance and completion, and more positive media coverage for the school district.

Values Here, Success There: Dena Dossett Presentation
1. Dena Dossett, Director of Planning in the
Department of Data Management,
Planning, and Program Evaluation for
Jefferson County Public Schools,
Louisville, Ky
2. JEFFERSON COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS
28th largest school district in U.S.

4. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
1973
• Desegregation lawsuits were filed against the city and county Board of Education. Court ordered the elimination of all vestiges of
state-imposed segregation.
1975
• The city and county school districts were merged into a single county-wide district and the Court ordered the Board to implement a
desegregation plan.
• Assignment of students to schools was based on a student’s address, grade, race and the alphabet letter of the student’s last name,
which resulted in “white flight.”
1978-1984
• Court and board modified plan to create more stability and change the African American enrollment guidelines based on
demographic trends.
1985
• The Board considered district “unitary” and thus could modify the court-ordered plan without the court’s approval.
1991
• The 1991 plan was based on the concept of managed choice. The plan provided that students may apply for schools and programs
of their choice, and may be assigned to those schools or programs subject to building or program capacity, the guidelines for black
enrollment, and in some cases admission criteria.
1996
• Because of concerns expressed by some African-American leaders, the Board reviewed the plan for possible changes and adopted
additional modifications.
1998 – 2000 Hampton Case
• A lawsuit was filed against the Board by black parents who claimed that the 50% limit on black enrollment at Central High School --
which had been a historically black school before the 1975 desegregation decree -- violated the U.S. Constitution. This case
highlighted several political and public relations issues.
2001
• The Board adopted modifications to the student assignment plan to exclude racial enrollment guidelines at special and magnet
schools which offered programs that were not available at other schools.

5. HISTORICAL CONTEXT
2002 McFarland Case/ 2003 Meredith Case
• Lawsuit claimed that children had been denied admission to “traditional” magnet elementary and middle
schools for reasons of race and gender. It continued to focus on the issues that had been raised in the
Hampton case – the “achievement gap,” the desire of some black parents to send their children to schools
closer to home, etc. In 2004, the Court rules the 2001 plan was constitutional.
2007 – PICS case
• The court ruled that there is a compelling governmental interestin maintaining diversity in public schools,
but race may not be used in the assignment of an individual student.
2009 – Bains Case
• The plaintiffs alleged that the new elementary student assignment plan violated the U.S. Supreme Court’s
decision in the Meredith case, because the Board was using socioeconomic factors as a “proxy for race.”
Judge denied the plaintiffs’ motion for an injunction in August 2009, and the plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed
their complaint in October 2009.
2010 Arnold/Fell Case
• The lawsuit was filed in state court, based on a provision in a state statute. State Supreme Court ruled
against plaintiffs.
6. DEVELOPING A PLAN
After the PICs ruling, our Board engaged in a process for
developing a new plan that included:
public forums
public opinion surveys
reviews of other districts’ student assignment plans
reviews of the educational research literature
consultation with national experts
7. STAKEHOLDER PERCEPTIONS
• Surveys JCPS parents and high school students about their
attitudes and experiences showed a very strong desire for
diverse schools and for school choice.
• Students felt well prepared for the community’s diverse
future and strongly supported integration.
• Parents were most concerned about excessive
transportation, and also very strongly supported the goals of
integration.
• Surveys also showed the need for improving spread of
information to parents about school options.
8. CURRENT PLAN MECHANICS
Most recent changes were designed to make our plan more
effective and efficient while maintaining a diverse school system.
Significant Changes:
• Recognizes existing diversity within smaller geographic areas
using updated census data
• Expands the inclusion of students into schools’ diversity
guidelines
• Redesigns elementary clusters to improve transportation
issues
• Provides for operational enhancements
9. NEW DIVERSITY CATEGORIES
Diversity Guideline: A school’s enrollment is comprised of
students who reside in block groups from categories 1, 2 and
3. The diversity index for a school shall be between 1.4-2.5.
13. OUTCOMES
• All but four schools are in compliance with new diversity guideline.
• 83% of students received their first choice and 88% received their first
or second choice.
• Operational enhancements have lead to improved efficiency and more
directed support for families.
• The new automated assignment process increases the percentage of
students assigned to their resides school, assigned to schools with
siblings, and receiving their 1st or 2nd choice.
• The new cluster configuration will result in reducing extreme
transportation distances by 40%, eliminating 25 buses and 25‐40
elementary routes, and providing more direct routes.
15. CONTINUING CHALLENGES
• Defending the district against the lawsuits
• Confronting “neighborhood schools” legislation
• Balancing diversity and proximity
• Reducing costs associated with school choice while supporting
board’s intended level of diversity
• Developing magnetic magnet programs/schools
• Equalizing information in applications and placements
• Strengthening the academic benefits through staff training
• Educating the public about the value of integrated schools
• Taking on residential housing patterns
