Survey of the States: Economic, Personal Finance, and Entrepreneurship Education in Our Nation's Schools in 2007. A Report Card
Author: National Council on Economic Education
Date: 2007-00-00
Type: Numerical/Quantitative Data
Subjects: Elementary Secondary Education,Economics Education,State Standards,Testing,Graduation Requirements,Entrepreneurship,Money Management,Surveys,Educational Assessment,Educational Indicators,Academic Standards,Comparative Analysis,Internet,National Surveys,Consumer Education,Required Courses,Family Financial Resources,Budgeting

This is the fifth survey since 1998 on the state of economic and personal finance education in the fifty states conducted by National Council on Economic Education (NCEE). A leader in promoting economic and personal finance education, NCEE conducts these surveys to gauge how the state standards, their implementation, course requirements, and state testing change over time. Responding to growing interest, this survey also includes, for the first time, data on the related area of entrepreneurship education. Progress continues to be made in the teaching of economics and personal finance in this nation's schools. However, much more work still needs to take place in terms of placing a greater emphasis on economics and personal finance in the K-12 curriculum; requiring separate, stand-alone courses in these subjects as part of high school graduation requirements; and testing student knowledge levels. Entrepreneurship Education, by comparison, is less emphasized in the curriculum.

Florida Policy Options to Accelerate Latino Student Success in Higher Education

In order to remain economically competitive, Florida's economy will require a more educated workforce than currently exists. In 2008, 37 percent of Floridians 25 to 64 years of age had earned an associate's degree or higher. Given that a large portion of the demographic growth in Florida through 2030 will be Hispanic, the state's economic competitiveness will be highly dependent on the educational attainment of this population. However, the educational attainment of Hispanics in Florida is low. In 2008, about 23 percent of Hispanics 25 and over in Florida had earned a bachelor's degree or higher. Public policy in Florida has been an important tool for improving the educational preparation and opportunity for many Floridians. However, without concerted statewide efforts it will continue to be difficult to substantially expand opportunities to accelerate higher education attainment and workforce preparation. Given the current policy context and economic limitations for Florida, the recommendations in this brief require little new resources but more direct intentionality in serving underrepresented populations. The recommendations are focused on college readiness, access, and success and are grouped into three goals to stimulate conversations for policy consideration. (Contains 3 figures.)

Information and Exit: Do Accountability Ratings Help Families Choose Schools? Program on Education Policy and Governance Working Papers Series. PEPG 09-06

Type: Reports - Evaluative
Subjects: School Effectiveness,Failure,Information Dissemination,School Choice,Parent School Relationship,Context Effect,Selection,Academic Achievement

Does public information about school quality lead parents to sort their children out of schools  with relatively poor performance? Use of this exit option in response to information about  school quality has the potential to indirectly foster school responsiveness to quality concerns. To determine whether this information affects student exit, I use a regression discontinuity design to examine the effect of school grades on exit. Results indicate that parents do not seem to respond to information about school quality generally and, thus, cast doubt on the effectiveness of indirect accountability to promote educational improvement. However, there is limited evidence that particularly poor school performance accompanied by institutional mechanisms for school choice promote student sorting away from low-quality schools.

Raising Questions for Binational Research in Education: An Exploration of Mexican Primary School Structure
Author: Jensen, Bryant

Type: Reports - Research
Subjects: Mexican Americans,Foreign Countries,Educational Opportunities,Mexicans,Educational Research,Elementary Education,Educational Policy,Comparative Education,International Education,Public Schools,Interviews,Observation,School Organization,Educational Practices,Looping (Teachers),Group Dynamics,Group Unity,Peer Relationship,School Culture,School Schedules,Socioeconomic Status

Educational opportunity in the United States and Mexico is an important factor in the process  of expanding social and economic opportunities, as well as political and civil rights in both  countries. Yet, by national and international indicators, many Mexican American and Mexican  children are underserved by public schools in both countries; and very little research in education addresses the issue from a binational perspective. This paper addresses the need for further binational research by presenting a qualitative study exploring the structure of Mexican primary schooling and thereby raising questions for further study. More specifically, the &quot;el turno escolar&quot; (the school shift) and the &quot;el grupo escolar&quot; (the school group) are explored through a secondary data analysis of interviews and observations gathered in 2004.
Advancing School Readiness for Young Hispanic Children Through Universal Prekindergarten

Hispanics account for over one-fifth of newborns in the United States. Hispanic children, on average, achieve at lower levels from kindergarten forward than the non-Hispanic White majority and Asian Americans. Increasing the percentage of Hispanic children who enter kindergarten &quot;ready&quot; for school constitutes one of the nation's most important current agenda items in education. Given that it is believed that the early childhood years provide the best window for improving academic trajectories for Hispanic children, this article describes current findings and offers recommendations to expand high-quality universal prekindergarten (UPK) programs for Hispanics in the United States.
Understanding Immigration and Psychological Development: A Multi-Level Ecological Approach

Type: Journal Articles
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Immigration,Immigrants,Psychopathology,Mexicans,Children,Mexican Americans,Hispanic Americans,Mental Health,Personality Traits,Well Being,Context Effect,Acculturation,Social Environment,Holistic Approach

Drawing from Brofenbrenner's multilevel, bioecological model of development, this paper presents a framework that charts environmental processes which generate or buffer acculturative stress and, therefore, mediate the impact of immigration on psychological well-being. Empirical research shows that Mexican immigrants, on the whole, fare better than U.S.-born groups in terms of mental health outcomes. These results are explained in the context of the presented theoretical model. Though further research is needed, preliminary evidence suggests that encouraging &quot;enculturation&quot;, as opposed to &quot;acculturation&quot;, has positive mental health repercussions for Mexican American children. Further research using the presented theoretical framework as well as policies and practices that incorporate and leverage cultural strengths of Mexican immigrant children should be pursued.

Two Key Theories in Education: Confucius and John Dewey
Author: Bonnie, Michael G.
Date: 2010-04-10
Type: Reports - Descriptive
Subjects: Foreign Countries,Educational Theories,Confucianism,Progressive Education,Experiential Learning,Moral Development

The following describes the philosophies of Confucius (Confucianism) and John Dewey (pragmatism/instrumentalism/experimentalism) and their views toward vocational, technical, general academic instruction, and the development of morals and values as espoused throughout Asia and America during a span of history from 551 BCE to 1949 CE. This is not intended to present an entire picture of design purpose and implementation, however, will focus on the paths of these originators of theory from their earliest. The purpose behind investigating these individuals and their work is to identify and acknowledge the intellectual genealogy of inter-related theories and the process of synthesis that make current prevailing philosophies and practices possible.

Recent work integrating Cultural-Historical Activity Theory (CHAT) with Systemic  Functional Linguistics (SFL) forms a basis for systematizing action research in higher  education. This basis strengthens what are often otherwise its methodological  weaknesses, namely, the disconnection between analysis and subsequent plans for action  and the dearth of generalized results. Activity Theory provides the semiotic resources to  identify essential elements of human activity and to characterize its processes of  development. Systemic Functional Linguistics offers the semiotic resources to describe  how language functions in the activity of education and of action research. The methods  and units of analysis of CHAT and SFL are specific and cross multiple scales, making it  possible to put what happens during relatively short episodes of learning in relation to the  prolonged work of completing a degree program and to the still lengthier processes of  organizational change. Situating action research in relation to theory helps to overcome  the limitations of &quot;local knowledge&quot; internal to the study while, external to the study,  contributing to the set of theoretical applications. To illustrate the usefulness of SFL and  CHAT to analyze teaching teachers to conduct research, we describe our own action  research in a Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study program. Beginning with the  redesign of initially independent teacher research and thesis courses to function as one,  we envision a more learner-centered program that engages our students, who are teachers  and administrators, in transforming the conditions of their own schools.

Response to Intervention--See Johnny Run

Previous efforts at leveling the learning field for all students have not met with success. In 1955 Johnny allegedly could not read because of the &quot;look-and-say method&quot; of teaching reading; 26 years later he still could not read because most elementary schools continued to use the aforementioned unproductive system.  Perhaps now is Johnny's real chance to &quot;run&quot; with the wind. The 2004 reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) allows school districts to spend up to 15 percent of federal special education dollars on early-intervention programs for students not identified as needing special education but who need extra support in the classroom. The law allows response to intervention (RTI) to be used as part of the process for determining if students have a learning disability. RTI is a potential method for ensuring that students are provided with instruction that is responsive to their educational needs. Through the RTI procedure, children with limited progress are assigned to specific evidence-based interventions designed to improve their behavior or rate of learning. Students who do not positively respond to the intervention may be considered to have a learning disability, making them eligible for special education services. The primary potential benefit of the RTI model is its efficacy for serving students whose instructional or behavioral needs are not being met. Children no longer need to attend schools where they wait to fail and become candidates for thorough evaluation for specialized education. With proper design and implementation of RTI, Johnny's schooling can become a continuum of successes and all stakeholders can see him &quot;run&quot; as he masters the curriculum. This presentation provides a compelling rationale for RTI, delineates its legal provision and means of financial support, elucidates its procedural tiers and framework, and addresses the extent of its use and success as a service delivery model.
