Presentation by Dr Lawrence Ingvarson, ACER and Ed Roper, Brisbane Grammar School at the 2015 ACER Excellence in Professional Practice Conference.
The ACER Professional Community Framework describes the five domains that characterise schools with strong professional culture, as defined by the Australian Performance and Development Framework, together with key elements, indicators and rubrics. The Professional Community Questionnaire provides a confidential online survey of all teaching staff in a school, based on the framework. Initial trials indicate that the questionnaire has high levels of internal reliability.
School leaders can use the framework and questionnaire to identify key areas for action and measure changes over time. Participating schools receive a comprehensive report
based on the survey results. This session will report on the results of administering the Professional Community Questionnaire in one school.
As we emerge from the pandemic, it is an opportune time check on where the world of educational entrepreneurship stands. Where is entrepreneurship succeeding, and where it is struggling?
EdChoice Director of National Research Mike McShane, Ph.D., partnered with Hanover Research to survey 59 educational entrepreneurs—including those who are creating new schools with new learning models, those who are creating new curriculum or tools, those who recruit talent and more. The Surveying Educational Entrepreneurs report details the survey project’s genesis, methods and results.

Breaking Down Public School District LinesEdChoice
The bad news: Using district lines to determine where a child goes to school is a 200-year-old mistake that has resulted in racial and socioeconomic segregation in U.S. public schools.
The good news: Many states have created open enrollment laws that break down those district lines and allow kids to attend public schools outside their ZIP Code-assigned schools.
To learn more about inter-district open enrollment policies and how they can affect students and school leaders, EdChoice partnered with Hanover Research to conduct a series of research projects. Author Susan Pendergrass shares the findings in her capstone piece—Breaking Down Public School District Lines.

Welcome to The 123s of School Choice! This resource is designed to be a one-stop shop for all the existing research on private educational choice programs in the United States. This year’s edition is updated with the research published since our last edition.
Commuting Concerns & Transporting K-12 School Choice StudentsEdChoice
We combined the key findings from two of our 2020 research reports evaluating families' concerns with transporting their kids to school and which state transportation laws support (or lack support for) school choice students.
Breaking Down the 2019 Schooling in America SurveyEdChoice
Americans’ satisfaction with K–12 education reached a 15-year high this year, according to Gallup. But do parents and teachers agree? Is there consensus among generations? Growing education reform efforts indicate there’s more under the surface.
EdChoice's 2019 Schooling in America Survey with Braun Research measures American attitudes toward big issues in K–12 education and digs deeper with parents, public school teachers, Millennials and Generation Z.

EdChoice's 2018 Schooling in America SurveyEdChoice
Teachers and K–12 education made headlines this year. Elections can only tell us so much about what the public thinks about K–12 education. That's why we look to polls like EdChoice's six-years-running "Schooling in America Survey," which allows us to provide a clear picture of Americans' views and attitudes on K–12 issues. For this year's survey, we interviewed a representative national sample of 1,803 American adults, including an extra 533 school-aged parents. Most notably, we surveyed a separate sample of 777 public school teachers.
Learn what we found in this slide show of our key findings.

Breaking Down "The Private School Landscape" EdChoice
In our new report, The Private School Landscape, we wanted to find out whether school choice programs have created increased competition and private school capacity in the states where they are in effect. We also wanted to know whether more access to educational choice programs has increased private school enrollment over time and, as critics often allege, whether school choice has caused increased racial segregation among private school populations.

Breaking Down The Tax-Credit Scholarship Audit EdChoice
In 2014, we calculated the cumulative savings generated by America’s K–12 school voucher programs over two decades. This year, we continued that study by doing the same for seven states’ tax-credit scholarship programs, which cover 93 percent of total scholarships awarded to date. These types of school choice programs differ from school vouchers in how they’re funded, however. Flip through this Slideshare to learn how tax-credit scholarships are different from school vouchers and what the fiscal effects of these programs have been for state governments, school districts and taxpayers.

EdChoice’s annual national survey of Americans on education issues is back with a new demographic breakout and new parent questions. As part of our 2016 Schooling in America Survey, we oversampled Millennials in an effort to better understand where this generation of current and future school parents compares with others (and the national average) on K–12 education policies. This is also the first year we asked parents specific questions about the lengths to which they’ve gone for their children’s education.

Breaking Down "A Win-Win Solution: The Empirical Evidence on School Choice"EdChoice
Proponents of private school choice make a wide array of claims about its benefits. They claim competition will spur public school improvement; vouchers will reduce the cost of education; students who get vouchers will show achievement gains; school choice will improve integration in schools and more. A vast body of research on whether school choice programs work now exists.
The fourth edition of A Win-Win Solution: The Empirical Evidence on School Choice examines 100 empirical studies of school choice programs in one convenient report.
Has school choice had the effect predicted by some economists, education experts, and millions of parents? Do the results argue for wider experiments or the adoption of broad-based vouchers or education savings accounts? This Slideshare features the definitive research.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

When we compare the differences between
the skills sets of educators in public schools
versus private schools, we find they have a lot
in common with some key differences.
16. These new findings led us to four ways
training programs could better prepare
private school educators.
17. 1. Colleges of education could cross-list
courses from other departments and give
credits to their students for taking them.
2. They could create specific tracks or concentrations for private school educators within traditional training
programs.
3. Institutions, whether at colleges of education or elsewhere, could create specialized, standalone private
school teacher and leader training programs.
4. Private schools that hire new educators could tailor the professional development workshops most
