First In Reform: The Adoption Of Common Core State Standards In Kentucky, Richard E. Day
First In Reform: The Adoption Of Common Core State Standards In Kentucky, Richard E. Day
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
On February 11, 2010, in an unprecedented joint meeting, the chairs of the Kentucky Board of Education, the Council on Postsecondary Education, and the Education Professional Standards Board signed a resolution directing their respective agencies to implement the Common Core State Standards in English/language arts and mathematics. This act formalized Kentucky’s commitment to integrate the nascent standards into the state’s public education system – the first state to do so. This article will trace the antecedents to Kentucky’s adoption of the standards as one expression of the late 20th century/early 21st century “corporate school reform movement” as manifested in the …

A Southern Progressive: M. A. Cassidy And The Lexington Schools, 1886-1928, Richard E. Day, Lindsey N. Devries
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
The 42-year career of M. A. Cassidy exemplifies the transition of public school leadership in Kentucky from non-educators who held religious-political ideologies to professional progressive educators who sought to make Kentucky schools more efficient through expertise and scientific management. This concept was fully adopted in Section 183 of the Kentucky Constitution (1891) which required the General Assembly to “provide for an efficient system of common schools throughout the state.” Confident that professional educators were best suited to devise solutions to social problems, and justified by the twin notions of equality of educational opportunity and meritocracy, Cassidy was part of a …
Berea College-Coeducationally And Racially Integrated: An Unlikely Contingency In The 1850s, Richard E. Day
Berea College-Coeducationally And Racially Integrated: An Unlikely Contingency In The 1850s, Richard E. Day
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
In this paper we consider the anti-slavery ministry of Rev. John G. Fee and the unlikely establishment of Berea College in Kentucky in the 1850s; the first college in the southern United States to be coeducationally and racially integrated. The Berea case illustrates how early twentieth century legal institutions were suffused with racism and justifications for racial discrimination even to the extent that they neutered the laws intended to provide redress to black citizens, while the court approved of racial prejudice as a natural protection from what it considered to be an unnatural amalgamation.

On School Funding, State Is Inadequate, Richard E. Day
Curriculum and Instruction Faculty and Staff Scholarship
While it may be amusing to watch those in power above us blame each other and make excuses, in the end, it is disheartening. Those of us at the school level know that no matter who ultimately gets blamed, we're the ones who must be here for the children. We are reminded daily, there can be no excuses for failure. The legislature, the school board -- everyone -- must do his or her job, so that we can do ours.
