This document discusses strategic priorities for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) with teacher preparation programs. It finds that racial disparities exist in the school districts near the HBCUs studied, including in student discipline, academic opportunities, and resource allocation. Interviews with deans at four HBCU education programs identified strengths like partnerships with districts, but also needs such as helping students prepare for standardized exams and broadening teacher understanding beyond content. The report recommends that state higher education officials work with HBCUs to increase the diversity of the teacher workforce through cultural competency training, auditing certification requirements, and identifying biases that create unfair burdens for HBCU programs.
This document summarizes research on diversifying the teaching profession by recruiting and retaining more teachers of color. It finds that while the percentage of teachers of color has grown in recent decades, the teaching force remains less diverse than the student population. Teachers of color also have higher turnover rates than white teachers. The document identifies barriers that disproportionately impact teachers of color, such as the costs of teacher preparation, inadequate support for new teachers, and challenging teaching conditions. It then highlights promising practices for overcoming these barriers, including programs that reduce financial barriers, improve teacher preparation, create strong hiring and induction supports, and enhance school leadership to improve retention of teachers of color.
The document describes Pathways2Teaching, a program that aims to address critical issues in schools like teacher shortages and lack of diversity in the teaching workforce. It prepares high school students to become teachers through a concurrent enrollment program where they take college courses with a social justice focus. The goal is for students to earn credits toward a teaching degree and gain experience through fieldwork, with the long term goal of addressing teacher needs in their own communities.

Dropout Prevention in California Schools through Civic EngagementMichelleHerczog
The document discusses how service-learning can help address the high school dropout rate. It notes that nearly 1/3 of students in California do not graduate and dropouts face poorer economic outcomes. While there are many reasons why students dropout, research suggests service-learning can help with issues like lack of engagement, motivation, academic challenges, and connection to the school environment. The document provides examples of how service-learning has improved outcomes related to civic skills, engagement, grades, attendance, and graduation rates.
The document discusses the impact of the Education and Economic Development Act (EEDA) legislation on schools and students in South Carolina. EEDA aims to enhance student success, graduation rates, and career preparation. It requires schools to implement career clusters and pathways, increase career counseling, and involve parents in students' career plans. Since EEDA was established, dual enrollment has increased 100% at one high school and their graduation rate has risen 10%. EEDA also supports character education and bullying prevention to improve school climate.
The document discusses stakeholders in education and their roles. It identifies key stakeholders as students, teachers, parents, administrators, and employers. It outlines the roles and expectations of each stakeholder, such as students valuing education, teachers inspiring students, and employers providing work opportunities. The document also discusses stakeholders' needs and wants, such as students wanting quality education to become employable and employers wanting skilled graduates. Stakeholders must contribute and institutions must add value to satisfy stakeholders. Balancing all stakeholders is challenging but important for higher education.
This document summarizes a study investigating the causes of dropout at the primary level in Punjab, Pakistan. It includes an introduction outlining the need for education and literacy rates. The objectives are to find the causes of dropout, analyze the role of stakeholders, and examine the role of school environment. The methodology involved surveys of teachers, head teachers, and parents using questionnaires. The findings suggest that dropout is largely due to harsh teacher behavior, lack of school facilities, and lack of parental interest. Recommendations include improving teacher behavior and providing basic school facilities.

North Carolina budget analysis from NC Justice CenterEducationNC
The budget agreement provides some increased funding for education in North Carolina but does not fully address the needs outlined in the Leandro Comprehensive Remedial Plan. It provides teacher and other staff salary increases averaging 5% over two years, supplements for low-wealth districts, and additional funding for students with disabilities and instructional support staff. However, it falls short of the Leandro plan's calls for greater investments in targeted allotments, early childhood education, principal and teacher recruitment programs, and overall K-12 funding. While the budget makes initial investments, long-term recurring funding is still needed to ensure all students receive a sound basic education as required by the state constitution.
Helping students navigate an interconnected world — What to expect from PISA ...EduSkills OECD
Today’s students live in an interconnected, diverse and rapidly changing world. In this complex environment, a student’s ability to understand the world and appreciate the multiple different perspectives they are likely to encounter is key to their success.
In 2018, the OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) conducted its first evaluation of students’ capacity to live in an interconnected world. The assessment focused on students’ knowledge of issues of local and global significance, including public health, economic and environmental issues, as well as their intercultural knowledge, skills and attitudes. The results of this assessment – PISA 2018 Volume VI – will be launched on 22 October.
Want to get a head start on what this latest Volume is all about? Andreas Schleicher, OECD Director for Education and Skills, unveils the main themes addressed in Volume VI and what to expect from the data.
The document discusses the need for change in the US educational system to address inequalities. It argues that a "one size fits all" approach does not work due to differing student backgrounds and learning styles. This has led to cultural gaps, poverty cycles, racial gaps, and funding gaps. Standardized tests also disproportionately impact minority and low-income students. The document calls for embracing diversity, increasing funding for low-income districts, and improving math and science education to better prepare students for an increasingly competitive global job market.
This document summarizes research on school reform strategies aimed at increasing graduation rates and student performance among low-income students. It describes how New York City closed underperforming large high schools and replaced them with new small schools and charters designed around principles of effective schools. These reforms led to dramatic improvements, with graduation rates rising from 35% to over 75% on average. Examples of high-performing charter networks, such as Green Dot and North Star Academies, showed how school designs emphasizing accountability, high expectations, and extended learning time can help close achievement gaps.
- Traditional public school enrollment in North Carolina fell by nearly 2.5% from fall 2019 to fall 2020, while charter school enrollment increased by 9%. Home school enrollment also increased.
- Enrollment losses were largest in kindergarten and smaller in other elementary and middle school grades.
- Enrollment decreases were widespread across the state but some districts and schools experienced particularly large declines and may face future funding challenges due to loss of students.
- Different student subgroups showed varying enrollment changes, with white students more likely to leave public schools while Hispanic students had fewer entries and Black students transitioned more to virtual schools.
A Guide for School Districts: Exploring Alternative Measures of Student Learn...Tanya Paperny
Districts across the country play a crucial role in ensuring schools effectively serve students and families. Beyond federal requirements in the Every Student Succeeds Act and state-level accountability systems, locally developed school performance frameworks are a key lever for holding schools accountable, particularly for student learning and wellness.
Today — with unfamiliar school configurations and unknown impacts on student outcomes — it is more important than ever that districts are diligent about assessing schools’ impact on students. But the ways that districts have done so in the past may no longer be appropriate. And districts that previously did not engage in school-level performance assessments now have a new incentive to do so.
This toolkit is a resource to help districts adapt existing school performance frameworks to the current moment or create new ones. These slides identify and walk through the fundamental questions districts need to consider in designing school performance frameworks that acknowledge the challenges that schools and students are facing, as well as a continued need to monitor performance and continuously improve.

The document is a letter from the Wayne County Board of Education to the North Carolina State Board of Education expressing concerns about the selection of Carver Heights Elementary School in Wayne County to be transferred to the Innovative School District for the 2019-2020 school year. The letter argues that the selection process was flawed and did not follow the statutory requirements. Specifically, it claims that the process lacked transparency, did not properly evaluate the factors contributing to the school's performance, did not engage the required stakeholders, and resulted in the State Board's authority to select being usurped as only one school was recommended. The letter requests that the State Board address these issues and ensure the process is carried out with integrity and in accordance with statutes and policies.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative sets English and math standards for K-12 students across 46 states to ensure students are prepared for college and careers after graduation, including skills in areas like mathematical practice, reading, writing, and statistics. The standards were developed by the National Governors Association and Council of Chief State School Officers and are expected to impact around 45 million students as they create common benchmarks across states.
This document discusses emerging themes in higher education including quality assurance, student portability, and measuring student learning. It outlines pressures from the federal government, national organizations, and states to improve outcomes, contain costs, and increase accountability. Specific priorities discussed are improving 4-year graduation rates, developing metrics for program viability, increasing documentation of student learning, and reducing textbook costs.
Teacher quality and related issues (i.e., teacher preparation, recruitment, and professional development) ranked among the highest priority areas among a sample of education policymakers surveyed by the Institute of Education Sciences. And it is not surprising that quality teaching also emerged as a central theme in one recent series of Policy Forums.

Reflection Paper on Enhancing Curriculum in Philippine SchoolsJeanelei Carolino
This reflection paper discusses enhancing curriculum in Philippine schools in response to global and societal changes. It summarizes an article that argues curriculum programs need to be upgraded at all levels to expose learners to experiences that foster lifelong learning and allow them to cope with the modern world. An ideal enhanced curriculum would be computer-based, environment-focused, research-oriented, technology-enriched, value-laden, community-involved, and industry-linked. However, the reflection notes there is a mismatch between graduates' skills and degrees due to factors like parental pressure, peer influence, and cost of living considerations, rather than students' inherent skills and interests. It concludes an ideal curriculum alone may not be enough and alternative ways must be

Academic Plan Executive Summary 091709Jenny Darrow
Executive Summary - This academic plan outlines the multi-dimensional efforts of Keene State College and the Division of Academic Affairs to achieve academic excellence. It comes at a time in history when it will not be enough for educational institutions to be known for the physical attributes of their campus or community, or the measures of the many inputs that historically have equated with status in the educational pecking order. Our stakeholders—students, parent, community, system and legislators—are demanding evidence of real educational outcomes, which are captured best in one overarching College strategic goal—achieving academic excellence. The institutions that rise to this new challenge will succeed and prosper, while those that do not will languish. While the Division of Academic Affairs at Keene State College has primary responsibility for meeting this challenge, our success will depend on the creative energies and hard work of the entire College community.

In the United States Primarily, the responsibility of education is vested upon individual states. This, however, does not exonerate the federal government from the education sector. The national government plays a supporting role in providing finances as well as funds and assistance in a bid to provide a lifeline whenever states are overwhelmed by the burden of overseeing the education within their jurisdictions. The funds from the feral government come in handy in helping millions of Americans, some of whom financial circumstances have impeded them from seeking education and particularly higher education. It is also judicious to note that the federal government does not only offer monetary support but also other forms of support in ways that will be discussed below.
Environment necessary for the excelling of education is also a burden of the federal government. A common myth is that the environment suitable for study which entails security, classrooms, sanitation and tranquility away from noisy environs of industries and busy towns, is only a necessity of the primary and secondary levels. However, it has since been discovered that the same environment is also needed by the tertiary level. The federal governments after providing these basic needs necessary for the thriving of the education sector in states, the states are then mandated to ensure the growth of the sector (In Inoue, 2019). Deductively, the states play a major role in determining the type of educational prospects it is going to provide for its residents.
The past centuries have experienced investment in the education sector by both the federal government and the state government and notably, the investment spread over the past fifty years is immense (Heller, 2016). These investments can be attributed to the opinion bored by the relevant stakeholders of the service to the public interest that these investments will give. The opinion further digresses from the profit-making point of an investment concept to reveal that the investments will be a stepping stone for the residents whose ambitions and desires have been just aspirations. It is at this juncture that we realize that the investments are in the form of policies. A perfect exemplar of such a policy is the enactment of the Higher Education Amendment Act of 1972 (Rose, 2018). This Act achieved the feat of assuring the public that financial incapability will not be an impediment anymore to those that sought education past high school.
In respect to policies, it is important to realize that there are no two states that are alike in their conception, designing and implementation of their policies. Each state has a unique way that they go about their public policy. This is because, unlike other public policies that target infrastructures development an.

The federal governments after providing these basic needs necessary for the thriving of the education sector in states, the states are then mandated to ensure the growth of the sector (In Inoue, 2019). Deductively, the states play a major role in determining the type of educational prospects it is going to provide for its residents.
The past centuries have experienced investment in the education sector by both the federal government and the state government and notably, the investment spread over the past fifty years is immense (Heller, 2016). These investments can be attributed to the opinion bored by the relevant stakeholders of the service to the public interest that these investments will give. The opinion further digresses from the profit-making point of an investment concept to reveal that the investments will be a stepping stone for the residents whose ambitions and desires have been just aspirations. It is at this juncture that we realize that the investments are in the form of policies. A perfect exemplar of such a policy is the enactment of the Higher Education Amendment Act of 1972 (Rose, 2018). This Act achieved the feat of assuring the public that financial incapability will not be an impediment anymore to those that sought education past high school.
In respect to policies, it is important to realize that there are no two states that are alike in their conception, designing and implementation of their policies. Each state has a unique way that they go about their public policy. This is because, unlike other public policies that target infrastructures development an.

Summary:
According to the department of Education office for civil rights, there has been a drop of suspensions and expulsions in public schools between 2012 and 2014. There have been moves to abolish the use of suspensions and expulsion by some policy makers. Furthermore, there have also been complains that suspensions and expulsions where used in a way that was not fair and discriminative of other students. Others do also believe that the abolishment of such punishment would result to a better working environment. There has also been a push by politicians including Barak Obamas government, which advocated for an alternative kind of punishment for students found on the wrong line of the school rules. This involved a joint venture by the Department of Education and the Department of Justice who eventually arrived on measures to improve the school climate and the discipline among students. They also send a strict warning of racism when it comes to disciplining of students at school. It is evident also that the move for discipline reforms has gone to the grassroots, which is the state and school district levels. Example is the District of Colombia.
A critical look on the effects of this alternative ways of suspension should be made. Various statistical reports have brought out variety of evidences. Example is the documentation in disparities in school in school discipline and race. In addition is the statistical report by the National Centre for Education show a downward trend in suspensions, student victimization and reports of bullying. It also shows decline in suspensions and expulsions. There has also been more that 30% if teachers reporting of disruption to studies due to behavior and tardiness. Evidence of exposure to extreme harsh conditions such has students exposed to Hurricanes tend to be out of school for a given time while dealing with the disaster. Finally, exposure to disruptive peers tends to affect students later in their studies.
Statistics also show disproportionate rates of suspension with it mainly affecting students of a specific race and also students with disabilities. Most of these being racial especially among the blacks in preschool, primary, middle and high schools. This has also created gaps between blacks ...

(2) The study found that work-based learning opportunities, interest in health careers, and influence from parents/teachers were key factors for students enrolling in pathways. Interactive recruitment events were effective but resource-intensive.
(3) Recommendations to increase diversity included deepening work-based learning, broadening extracurricular activities, establishing formal mentoring programs, and addressing perceptions of certain health careers not being "manly".
This document summarizes an article that examines the integration of postmodernism in higher education. It discusses how postmodernism has sparked controversies in academia by promoting less conventional teaching styles. The article advocates for adopting postmodern strategies like focusing less on standardized practices and more on preparing students for rapid societal changes. It also addresses how embracing postmodernism could help address educational disparities for underrepresented groups by making institutions more responsive to diverse student populations.
This article examines how a superintendent can effectively respond to and shape school culture. It uses the example of John Stanford, the late superintendent of Seattle Public Schools. When he took over, morale was low but he was able to turn the district around by becoming actively involved in schools and communicating effectively with students, staff, and the community. He empowered teachers and established clear academic goals and accountability. By developing trust and cooperation, the superintendent was able to create and sustain a positive culture that improved student outcomes.

“Impact of Poverty on the Education Success of Children”
Background
Education is one of the most fundamental rights across the world. However, access to education continues to vary cross different communities, cultures and ethnic backgrounds. Numerous studies have attempted to explore the causes of variations in access and successful educational outcomes across different groups of people. Riedi, Dawn and Kim (2017) state that learners with the capacity to deliver high academic performance exist in all income levels across the United States. Nonetheless, the success rates of learners from low-income backgrounds continue to be lower than their wealthy counterparts. While the dropout rates have reduced phenomenally from low-income neighborhoods, children from wealthy families still register the lowest dropout rates. Level of income coupled with gender factors may also play a role in school dropout rates or low academic performance for children from poor backgrounds. A longitudinal qualitative study undertaken by Ramanaik et al. (2018) found that for many poor families, girls’ domestic tasks came at the cost of schooling with greater concerns regarding the need to safeguard their sexual purity. Furthermore, with the rising desire of the girls’ educational and career goals, parents often encourage girls’ agencies to communicate openly both at home and in school. Children from poor households are also less motivated to work harder in school compared to their contemporaries from wealthy backgrounds. Friels (2016) observes that scholars have tried to make efforts towards exploring the influence of poverty on student success. According to Friels (2016), a combination of factors such as poverty, race and ethnicity have been the defining indicators of student academic attainment. For instance, African American children from low-income neighborhoods continue to face challenges such as low classroom attendance and dropout rates compared to their peers from financial stable backgrounds. In light of the above, this qualitative study will investigate the effects of poverty on educational success in children.
Research Problem
The indicators of academic achievements are often widely recognized across different sides of the scholarly divide. They include hard work, student competence and abilities, school culture, as well as teachers’ competencies. While these factors have been expansively identified and explored by scholars, one major area of research has often been overlooked: the extent to which poverty or level of income impacts educational outcomes for children. Renth, Buckley and Pucher (2015) observe that even though studies exist on this problematic area of knowledge, there have been minimal qualitative explorations on the influence of poverty on children’s educational outcomes. For instance, major qualit.

This document discusses assessing underserved students' engagement in high-impact educational practices. It explores the connection between these practices and student success using both quantitative and qualitative approaches. The quantitative approach analyzes data from the National Survey of Student Engagement to examine relationships between high-impact practices and student outcomes. The qualitative approach involves focus groups with underserved students at nine campuses to understand their experiences in these practices from their perspectives. The goal is to provide guidance to help improve learning and promote success for underserved students.
A growing number of cities now provide a range of public school options for families to choose from. Choosing a school can be one of the most stressful decisions parents
make on behalf of their child. For all families, but for some more than others, getting access to the right public school will determine their child’s future success. How are parents faring in cities where choice is widely available?
This document summarizes a research report on determinants of aspirations. Some key findings:
- Girls, higher SES groups, and most minority ethnic groups tend to have higher aspirations than counterparts. Aspirations decline with age and barriers.
- Aspirations are shaped by beliefs, opportunities, and environment from a young age. Financial constraints and early choices like parenthood limit opportunities.
- High aspirations generally lead to better outcomes, but not always, showing an aspiration-attainment gap for some groups.
- Supporting aspirations requires a holistic approach that considers intersections of identity and provides developmental support to overcome barriers.
The document discusses the roles and responsibilities of national and local governments regarding education policy and practice. It outlines that the national government is responsible for setting the national curriculum and funding research, while local governments are responsible for issues like school management, staff training, and special education. It also summarizes the different types of schools in the UK system, including independent, state, grammar, and specialist schools. Key policies and practices mentioned that schools must implement include safeguarding policies to prevent child abuse, teaching and learning policies to promote inclusion, and supporting national policies.

Program Design to Promote Social Goals in American K12 Schools
Explanation of Each Initiative
The three main initiatives of promoting social goals in school will include: promoting moral and character education, improving children’s health and nutrition, and creating school communities through extracurricular activities, after school programs, and school spirits (Rissanen et al. 2018). Comment by Evelyn Young: The 3 initiatives are clearly stated. Although did Rissanen et al. propose these 3 initiatives to promote social goals in schools? If these are your arguments, take credit for them. No need to give credit to Rissanen et al. for formulating the thesis for your paper.
I think that your paper could have used an introduction followed by the thesis statement.
Explanation of Each Initiative
Moral education is meant to promote good conduct among school-going children, not just within their immediate social relationships, but also in their dealings with their fellow citizens. This initiative is premised on the need for students to possess clear ideals and judgments on what action are right and what are wrong, including the determination of students’ conduct through a constant reference to those ideals. Moral education will be offered as a social goal to enlighten students on a system of rules and norms that regulate the social interactions of people on concepts of welfare, such as harm, trust, justice, and rights. For some students, issues related to values, personal feelings, and societal norms are constructs for discussions and are as such viewed as being influenced by the manner in which morality taught or experienced in schools, churches, and social institution settings. Moral education will be meant to reduce criminal and deviant behaviors among students. Moral character is required in schools because many parents do not teach their children morality issues.
The health and nutrition initiative is meant to improve the physical and mental well being of students. This initiative has the potential to improve the quality of students’ urban life, strengthen the ability of poor children to excel in their studies, and to compensate them for the substandard home and school environments spawned by competitive, inequitable social order. Health and nutritional initiatives will be strengthened through planning and introducing curriculum on nutrition with educational activities. These will include physical activities, which are combined with the farm to school programs that motivate students to consume healthy diets. Indeed, the hybrid school-based nutritional programs have major influence on attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors associated with fruits and vegetable consumption diffused throughout a bigger urban community (Dudley Cotton & Peralta, 2015). This hybrid intervention includes combining district stra.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
