Funding U.S. Historically Black Colleges And Universities: A Policy Recommendation, Donald Mitchell Jr., Ph.D. Oct 2013

Funding U.S. Historically Black Colleges And Universities: A Policy Recommendation, Donald Mitchell Jr., Ph.D.

Executives, Administrators, & Staff Publications

Public Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) continue to receive inequitable funding at state-levels (Gasman, 2010; Minor, 2008). The Higher Education Act of 1965 designates an HBCU as an “institution whose principal mission was and is the education of black Americans, was accredited and was established before 1964” (UNCF, 2013, para. 1). The current funding situation is problematic because HBCUs have successfully educated African Americans, low-income, and underprepared students (Gasman, 2010). Perhaps with equitable state support, the educational gains of HBCUs may improve. The purpose of this article is to analyze three policy alternatives that would improve resources at HBCUs. …

The intention of this piece is to push thinking beyond NCLB and offer a fresh perspective on how the U.S. educational system might progress in the future. Consider this a call to action to inspire and promote real change in a profession that has been restrained by federal regulations, standardization, and modest funding.


School Choice Policies And Racial Segregation: Where White Parents’ Good Intentions, Anxiety, And Privilege Collide, Allison Roda Ph.D., Amy Stuart Wells Feb 2013

School Choice Policies And Racial Segregation: Where White Parents’ Good Intentions, Anxiety, And Privilege Collide, Allison Roda Ph.D., Amy Stuart Wells

Faculty Works: EDU (1995-2023)

A growing body of school choice research has shown that when school choice policies are not designed to racially or socioeconomically integrate schools, that is, are “colorblind” policies, they generally manage to do the opposite, leading to greater stratification and separation of students by race and ethnicity across schools and programs. Since white, advantaged parents are more likely to get their children into the highest-status schools regardless of the school choice policy in place, we believed that more research was needed on how those parents interact with school choice policies and whether they would support changes to those policies that …


Classroom Management Strategies To Increase Student Collaboration, Vicky Giouroukakis Ph.D., Maria Dove Ed.D. Jan 2013

Classroom Management Strategies To Increase Student Collaboration, Vicky Giouroukakis Ph.D., Maria Dove Ed.D.

Faculty Works: EDU (1995-2023)

In a New York suburban middle school, Ms. Malone begins a social studies lesson with her seventh graders. The room is extremely quiet, and the teacher assures that it will stay that way by keeping the students seated in straight rows and writing the names of offenders on the board. She calmly reminds students of the consequences of not adhering to her rules - an initial warning followed by a phone call home if the offense is repeated.

Introduction: Critical Pedagogy "Under The Radar" And "Off The Grid", Tricia M. Kress Ph.D., Donna Degennaro Ph.D., Patricia Pugh

Faculty Works: EDU (1995-2023)

Fall 2010: We (Tricia, Donna, and Pat) are beginning to feel restless as our college is in the throws of devising “measurable standards” and, accordingly, “input-output” measurement schemes in preparation for an upcoming TEAC review that looms one year on the horizon. At times together and at times separately, we sit through many meetings about rubrics, e-portfolios, and espoused best practices, feeling antsy and angst-y, not very different from bored high schoolers texting each other in the back of the classroom. After we leave these faculty brainstorming sessions, we enter into our classrooms where we work with pre-service and in-service …
