Can We Get Governance Right? - Education Next : Education Next - 0 views

  • Milton Friedman’s book Capitalism and Freedom set off a debate on education governance that continues to this day. He argued for putting parents in charge. John Chubb and Terry Moe suggested a more complex system, with parents in charge but also some roles for regulators, from whom school operators would need to get licenses.

Strategies for Community Engagement in School Turnaround | U.S. Department of Education - 0 views

  • Turnaround Case Studies by ERS Strategies: Denver Case Study Education Resource Strategies analyzed strategies to turn around low-performance schools undertaken by six large urban districts and four education management organizations and then developed 10 case studies. The attached case study is about school turnaround in Denver Public Schools.
  •  
    This paper examines one essential tactic for making school turnaround more effective: community engagement. To explore community engagement in action, the Reform Support Network (RSN) conducted reviews between April and August of 2013 of 11 States and districts, urban and rural, engaged in the communities surrounding low-performing schools. The enquiry yielded five primary lessons or takeaways about successful community engagement: make engagement a priority and establish an infrastructure, communicate proactively in the community, listen to the community and respond to its feedback, offer meaningful opportunities to participate, and turn community supporters into leaders and advocates.

    Students learn a lot from this portfolio process. By presenting their work to peers, they get a different perspective on it. They begin to understand how they learn (what educators call metacognition). They realize that revising a project -- sometimes even starting over -- and collaborating with others are natural parts of real-world work.
