Education Reform

America's system of colleges and universities was once the best in the world. It contributed immeasurably to America's status as the most powerful, productive, and prosperous nation on the globe. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Today from kindergarten through twelfth grade in the government school system, teaching reading, writing, and math have been supplanted by Marxist indoctrination. Our colleges and universities have become the final training grounds and launching pads for the next waves of Marxist activists.

Are our children getting the best educational experience? Are the educators in an environment that best suits them to become the teachers that our kids deserve? If you believe that our schools can do better for our children, this book is for you!

As we turn on our television to hear what’s going on in our world, we see a video of yet another horrible display of police brutality from police departments all over the United States, taking someone’s life, which in most cases, could have been prevented.

The Promise of Youth Anti-citizenship argues that Black youth and youth of color have been cast as anti-citizens, disenfranchised from the social, political, and economic mainstream of American life. Instead of asking youth to conform to a larger societal structure undergirded by racial capitalism and antiblackness, the volume's contributors propose that the collective practice of anti-citizenship opens up a liberatory space for youth to challenge the social order.

This expensive education reform would be financed without raising taxes. A new cryptocurrency would be created. The effects of such education reform would be felt at school, home, and all public interactions. Student Manifesto—The Power of Paying Kids to Learn is a book for interested parents, involved teachers, and policymakers. It is never too late to instigate deep changes for the benefit of all.

In Is College Worth It?, William J. Bennett and David Wilezol assess the problems of American higher education at various levels, from runaway costs to inferior academics to poor graduation rates to political indoctrination, and propose serious reforms and alternative methods for improving higher education so that it better serves our students.

Un ensayo que analiza el modo en que el exceso de legislación y el aumento de la burocracia han degradado el papel de los docentes y la calidad de la enseñanza secundaria en España. ¿Han servido ocho leyes generales de Educación para conseguir un sistema inclusivo y de calidad? ¿O, por el contrario, LOGSE, LOE, LOMCE o la reciente LOMLOE han contribuido a consolidar un modelo político populista y neoliberal en nuestro país? ¿Cómo afecta a la calidad educativa la ideología del cambio disruptivo continuo, que practican tanto gabinetes de izquierda como de derecha?

This is a knock-your-socks-off groundbreaking treatise that is of interest to every thinking adult, and certainly every thinking educator. The author has spent the last 50 years working to establish the most innovative school in the world. His background includes a PhD and work as a professor of history of science.

Unsere Schulen stecken in einer Krise, aus der sie sich nur sehr langsam herausarbeiten. Lehrer, Eltern und Schüler sind frustriert, Arbeitgeber klagen, dass die Schulabgänger nicht die nötigen Kenntnisse für den Einstieg ins Berufsleben mitbringen. Die Krise hat viele Ursachen, eine davon ist die Situation der Lehrer. Vor riesigen Klassen können sie nicht auf die individuellen Stärken und Schwächen ihrer Schüler eingehen, Sparkonzepte, überfrachtete Lehrpläne und eine übermächtige Bürokratie ersticken jedes Engagement.

Are Australian schools safe? And if they're not, what happens when kids are caught in a bleak collision between ill-equipped school staff and a confected media scandal? In 2016, the Safe Schools program became the centre of an ideological firestorm. In QE67, Benjamin Law explores how and why this happened. He weaves a subtle, gripping account of schools today, sexuality, teenagers, new ideas of gender fluidity, tabloid media scares and mental health.

Educational equity is more than an image. It is more than being able to watch a baseball game while standing on boxes. To frame it as such oversimplifies the complexities associated with this term.

Voices: Vol. 2 is the second installment of the Voices series by Black Males in Education St. Louis (BMESTL) in an attempt to project the work, accomplishments, and perspectives of Black male educators. Based on the success of Voices: Vol. 1, there is little doubt that Vol. 2 will not only be a compelling listen, but will also inspire more Black men (and women) to find their authentic voice while encouraging others to enter the field of education.

Many people have said that the top prize in education is graduating students who are knowledgeable of the basics; however, too many of America's public-school children have not reached that level of stability. One of the reasons is too many students are concentrating more on the school environment than on math and science.

America has been steadily sliding in global education rankings for decades. In particular, our students are increasingly unable to compete globally in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) fields. According to the National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP), in 2010 only 26 percent of high school seniors in the U.S. scored at or above proficient level in math. Another 36 percent were failing.

Over the decades, the Mastery Learning method has seen a resurgence in terms of positive research. Such a method is needed to help address the student achievement gap. Many schools are improving or adequate on their own, but a methodology that ensures that students both master material and do so using their respective motivations and learning style can best address said achievement gaps.

Struck präsentiert eigene Konzepte zur Behebung der Mängel im deutschen Bildungssystem, wie sie durch PISA, TIMMS und IGLU einer breiten Öffentlichkeit bewusst wurden. Er tritt für ein partnerschaftliches Schulsystem ein, in dem der Lehrer sich als Lerncoach für seine Schüler versteht. Mit Tipps für Eltern zur Schulwahl.

Il problema dell'educazione appare oggi uno degli argomenti caldi e maggiormente discussi soprattutto fra i non addetti ai lavori. Esso riguarda infatti non solamente la scuola in generale ma, nel complesso, la persona e la società. Riguarda non solo la didattica ma tutte quelle situazioni nelle quali si verificano fenomeni che influiscono sull'apprendimento. Tali situazioni necessitano di interventi specifici, che vanno affidati a persone competenti e preparate, soprattutto quando si tratta di ambito scolastico.

Wo früher auf den Schulhöfen der Pausengong fröhlich klingelte, schrillen heute die Alarmglocken: Die Bildungsrepublik Deutschland steht kurz vor dem Offenbarungseid. Seit PISA haben wir es schwarz auf weiß: Der Finne, der Chinese und sogar der Este (oder heißt es Estländer?) haben uns abgehängt. Mit anderen Worten: Uns bleibt nicht mehr viel Zeit, sonst wird ohne uns globalisiert! In blindem Aktionismus schießen vermeintliche Bildungsexperten plötzlich aus allen Rohren: G8, Bologna, Bachelor und Master! Bämm! Kurzes Innehalten beim Nachladen: Turbo-Abi oder Bummelstudent?

To get the most out of your college education, you need to choose your classes wisely - and increasingly, that means choosing STEM. Today's job seekers should have at least a basic understanding of trigonometry and other science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) fields. The US Bureau of Labor Statistics projects more than one-point-three million job openings in math and computer-related fields by 2022. The purpose of this book is not to push you into a STEM career; it is simply to provide you with information and perspective, as well as a few questions that, if answered honestly, will help you plot out an educational and career pathway that will help you achieve your dreams.

Com base em sua pesquisa de Doutorado pela Universidade de São Paulo e sua atuação na Universidade Federal Rural do Rio de Janeiro, Simone propõe uma reflexão profunda sobre os Letramentos Críticos como ferramenta de ressignificação do ensino de línguas. O livro convida professores formadores e docentes em formação inicial e continuada a pensar criticamente o ensino de inglês para além da técnica — como prática social, política e transformadora.
