"The <span class='abstract_italic'>Bracey Report </span>is unique, a departure from EPIC/EPRU’s other publications.
For this year’s report, we asked him to identify and discuss the research
support for what he considers to be three of the most important assumptions about
how to reform public education. Whether you agree or disagree with his analysis,
we hope you find his views provocative and helpful as you make up your own
mind about how best to go about improving America’s public... - 1/1/08 - Berndt, S., Ebben, B.

"In A Call to Action: Transforming High School for All Youth, the National High School Alliance identifies six core principles and recommended strategies that will foster high academic achievement, close the achievement gap, and promote civic and personal growth among all high-school-age youth in our high schools and communities. At the center of the framework is the Alliance’s belief that the purpose of high school is to ensure that all high-schoolage students are ready for college... - 1/1/10 - Southern Education Foundation,
"For the first time in history, public schools in the American South no longer enroll a majority of White students. African American, Latino, Asian-Pacific Islander, American Indian, and multi-racial children now constitute slightly more than half of all students attending public schools in the 15 states of the South. The Southern states have become the nation’s second region, following the West in 2003, where non-White students—students of color—now make up a majority of public... - 1/1/07 - Southern Education Foundation,
This SEF research report reviews trends in the growth of low income children in the South’s public schools. The report finds that public schools in the region have enrolled a majority of low income students in each of the last three years (2004-2006) and today the South is the only region in the nation where low income students are 50 percent or more of public school enrollment. The report also provides some historical background on the presence of low income students in Southern states... - 1/1/10 - Lisa Guernsey, Sara Mead
"We, as a nation, are doing a very good job of squandering human potential and making life harder for all Americans as a result. This has to stop. If our government, at the local, state, and federal level, does not start investing in education systems that reach children before kindergarten, and if it does not get serious about providing children with high-quality instruction throughout the earliest years of their schooling, it is wasting taxpayer dollars, ignoring decades of research and... - 1/1/07 - Campaign for High School Equity,
This is the Campaign for High School Equity’s inaugural publication. It “makes a compelling case for the need to invest in high schools and provides a blueprint for meaningful reform.” Its recommendations include a call to: (a) make all students proficient and prepared for college and work; (b) hold high schools accountable for student success; (c) redesign the American high school; (d) provide students with the excellent leaders and teachers they need to succeed; and (e) provide... - 1/1/06 - Sen, R.
National education leaders concerned with the plight of Black Boys in public education convened at the Alex Haley Farm in Clinton, Tennessee in May of 2005 to explore the question: “What would it take to build a movement for Black boys and their education?” The conclusions from this important summit are contained in this latest report in The Schott Foundation series entitled: A Positive Future for Black Boys. - 1/1/06 - Johnstone, C. , Altman, J., Thurlow, M.
The purpose of this guide is to provide states with strategies for designing tests from the very beginning, through conceptualization and item construction, field-testing, item reviews, statewide operationalization, and evaluation. The objective is to create tests that present an accurate measure of the knowledge and skills of the diverse population of students enrolled in today’s public schools. - 1/1/10 - Education Law Center,
"Under federal law, states are required to ensure that homeless children have equal access to the same free, appropriate public education, including a public preschool education, as provided to other children and youths. This policy brief provides an overview of the law and its limitations and describes policies that can help increase the number of homeless children included in pre-k programs. It is intended to serve as a resource for state policy makers and advocates seeking to maximize... - 1/1/09 - Debra Albus, Martha Thurlow, Chris Bremer
The 2006-2007 school year was the eighth annual reporting period since disaggregating the performance of students with disabilities on state and district-wide assessments was required by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). It is the fifth reporting period since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB), and the eleventh in a series of National Center on Educational Outcomes (NCEO) reports documenting state public reporting practices. Historically, the number of... - 1/1/08 - ETS Policy Information Center,
American education reformers have spent decades redesigning schoolfunding formulas, devising programs, and upgrading tests and curricula, all in pursuit of a noble goal: ensuring that all children, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or wealth, get a public education that will help them succeed in school and in life. - 1/1/10 - Laura J.

"Building on a long history of investments in OST learning, The Wallace Foundation launched an out-of-school learning initiative in 2003. The initiative was created to support citywide system-building efforts that could advance three interrelated goals for the OST field: improving program quality, making programs accessible to youth who need them most, and improving youth participation so more children can realize benefits. The Foundation granted funds to five cities to support their... - 1/1/10 - Priscilla Rouse Carver, Laurie Lewis
"This First Look report presents data from a recent district Fast Response Survey System (FRSS) survey about alternative schools and programs available to students during the 2007-08 school year. Alternative schools and programs are specifically designed to address the educational needs of students at risk of school failure in a setting apart from that of the regular public school. They can be administered by the district or an entity other than the district. The study includes information... - 1/1/10 - Michael F. Petrilli, Janie Scull
"In this report, we identify public schools whose doors are effectively closed to poor children. These institutions—generally found in wealthy urban enclaves or well-heeled suburbs—educate many of the children of America’s elite while proudly waving the “public school” flag. But they hardly embody the “common school” ideal. In fact, by exclusively serving well-off children, they are arguably more private—certainly more exclusive—than many elite private schools, which, after...
