Reconceptualizing Educational Productivity For Australian Public Schools In New South Wales: An Empirical Application Of Modified Quadriform Analytics, R. Anthony Rolle
Reconceptualizing Educational Productivity For Australian Public Schools In New South Wales: An Empirical Application Of Modified Quadriform Analytics, R. Anthony Rolle
Educational Considerations
Little is known about the educational productivity of public schooling organizations when examined outside of market-based, cost-minimization frameworks. Consequently, the purpose of this research was to extend the literature that supports the appropriateness of measuring levels of the economic efficiency of public schools via an alternative approach, utilizing modified quadriform analytics (MQA) to assess the educational productivity of New South Wales public elementary and secondary schools in Australia over three school years, 2008-2010.

Transitioning To Performance-Based State Funding: Concerns, Commitment, And Cautious Optimism, Lindsay K. Wayt, Barbara Y. Lacost
Educational Considerations
The introduction of performance-based state funding of higher education can be traced to the late 1970s. Early forms, referred to as Performance Funding 1.0, provided higher education institutions with bonuses, in addition to regular state funding, when they met certain state-defined outcomes. More recent forms, referred to as Performance Funding 2.0, have eliminated bonuses, and regular state funding has been replaced, in part or completely, with funding tied to achievement of state-defined performance goals, which often include student outcomes, like graduation and retention rates.

Leadership Education And Development For What?: Civic Imagination For A More Just And Democratic Society, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Educational Considerations
When institutions assign meaning to individual rights and distribute resources in ways that shape the life chances of people, if appropriately designed they strengthen social justice aims. Yet the natural outcome of how individuals relate to institutions does not automatically align with justice.

Leadership Education And Development For Justice Using The Canonical Framework Of John Rawls's A Theory Of Justice, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Leadership Education And Development For Justice Using The Canonical Framework Of John Rawls's A Theory Of Justice, Brandon W. Kliewer, Jeff Zacharakis
Educational Considerations
Higher education that presupposes a specific conception of justice do well in preparing students to make claims of justice from specific perspectives or positions. However, civic leadership students with a strong background in specific conceptions of justice are often not equipped with necessary skills, dispositions, and habits to exercise leadership in ways that can manage political contestation associated with competing claims of justice.

Community Connections: Integrating Community-Based Field Experiences To Support Teacher Education For Diversity, Christine Beaudry
Community Connections: Integrating Community-Based Field Experiences To Support Teacher Education For Diversity, Christine Beaudry
Educational Considerations
In the United States, preservice teachers often graduate and go on to work with students whose backgrounds are different from their own and in communities in which they have limited lived experience. This holds significant implications for teacher education programs given the importance of life and educational experiences in informing teaching and learning knowledge and practices and the subsequent impact of these practices in shaping the experiences and trajectories of students’ lives.

Teaching The Truth: Difficulties With Social Justice And Social Class In Graduate School, Leona English, Carole Roy
Educational Considerations
Nowadays, anyone who wishes to combat lies and ignorance and to write the truth must overcome at least five difficulties. He must have the courage to write the truth when truth is everywhere opposed; the keenness to recognize it, although it is everywhere concealed; the skill to manipulate it as a weapon; the judgment to select those in whose hands it will be effective; and the cunning to spread the truth among such persons.

Leading The Newly Merged High School: Exciting Opportunity Or Overwhelming Challenge?, Lance E. Thurman, Donald G. Hackmann
Educational Considerations
In the current economic times, school personnel are regularly challenged to reduce the costs of operating the nation’s school systems. School district consolidations often are proposed as a mechanism to realize fiscal savings for local communities; indeed, the number of U.S. school districts has declined dramatically over the past 70 years, decreasing from 117,108 in 1939-40 to 13,809 in 2008-2009.

Changing Traditions: Supervision, Co-Teaching, And Lessons Learned In A Professional Development School Partnership, David S. Allen, Michael Perl, Lori Goodson, Twyla K. Sprouse
Educational Considerations
Considering how long societies have been educating their youth, the history of teacher education is relatively brief. The first efforts to provide systematic education for teachers with some kind of practical experience occurred in Rheims, France, in the late 17th century when Jean Baptiste De La Salle opened the first normal school.

Educational Considerations
Educational improvement demands continuous change, but change is not always productive. Reflecting on the past and vision setting for the future helps chart a course for a more productive change process. Historians urge learning from history to guide future actions.
