Education Reform

A must-hear firsthand exploration of why Asian students are outpacing their American counterparts and how to help our children excel in today’s competitive world.

As the revenues generated by big-time college sports continue to skyrocket, virtually all of the debate involves whether (and how much) student-athletes should be paid for play. Kenneth L. Shropshire and Collin D. Williams Jr., argue that "student" has to come first: the focus should be on prioritizing a meaningful education. They draw on new research to reveal that it has become increasingly difficult for college athletes to balance school and sports, much less a social life, leading to serious economic, professional, and emotional consequences for young people.

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.

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.

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.

Transform your classroom with the power of Artificial Intelligence: engage, enlighten, and elevate your teaching game! Teaching is a fulfilling job, but its not easy.

Common Core is not your typical education reform idea. It is a giant step towards the goal of federalized, corporate-run education, the underlying ambition of elitists in this country for more than 100 years. Parents and educators cannot rely on what they read or hear from the creators of the Common Core for the truth. One must dig deeper, past the lies, to understand the implications of the Common Core agenda.

Over the past several years, Jonathan Kozol has visited nearly 60 public schools. Virtually everywhere, he finds that conditions have grown worse for inner-city children in the 15 years since federal courts began dismantling the landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education. First, a state of nearly absolute apartheid now prevails in thousands of our schools. The segregation of Black children has reverted to a level that the nation has not seen since 1968. Few of the students in these schools know White children any longer.

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?

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.

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.

What explains the growing class divide between the well-educated and everybody else? Noted author Brink Lindsey, a senior scholar at the Kauffman Foundation, argues that it's because economic expansion is creating an increasingly complex world in which only a minority with the right knowledge and skills - the right "human capital" - reap the majority of the economic rewards. The complexity of today's economy is not only making these lucky elites richer - it is also making them smarter.

The purpose of this research is to examine the ways in which mentoring affects black graduate students' completion of programs of study. Performance is measured by completion of their graduate program, length of time taken to complete the program, grade point average, and overall attitude about their graduate school experience. On average, over half of all black graduate students leave their programs of study before completion compared to 25 percent attrition (non-completion of program of study) of white students.
