A Modest Proposal Regarding College Admissions
Revitalizing Teacher Education by Revisiting Our Assumptions About Teaching
The state of teaching and teacher education is the result of more than a century of compromises and adjustments demanded by the exigencies of another era. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the teaching profession was designed to match the rapid expansion of schooling. It relied on a captive pool of inexpensive, educated female labor and assumed little in the way of a professional knowledge base. Teacher preparation and development we…
When Education Research Matters
The Predictable, but Unpredictably Personal, Politics of Teacher Licensure
The debates about teacher licensure have long reflected a grace, decorum, and rhetorical nu-ance more appropriate to the final weeks of a partisan political contest than to a substantive policy debate. Perplexingly, given the utterly unexceptional nature of the politics of the issue, the debate has turned into an often venomous dispute focused largely on the intricacies of data interpretation. The clash between those who would defend licensure an…
Who Chooses Experience? Examining the Use of Veteran Staff by House Freshmen
Scholars have long recognized the important role congressional staff play in promoting the effectiveness of their employers. This is especially true for new representatives, who usually have few other resources. This article examines the hiring of experienced staff by House freshmen and tests multiple hypotheses for variation in this recruitment. The data include 2,760 staff members hired by 210 freshmen who entered the House between 1981 and 199…
Teachers’ Attitudes and the Success of School Choice
The 1990s witnessed growing attention to the adoption of choice‐based school reforms, particularly charter schooling and school vouchers. Although researchers have approached the school choice debate from theoretical, normative, and empirical directions, little attention has been paid to examining how teachers view school choice or what factors shape their attitudes. This oversight is significant because teachers can impact the success of school …
Quality, Race, and the Urban Education Marketplace
A key issue in urban education policy is the potential impact of market-based reforms. Using a data set encompassing 50 urban school systems, the authors investigate the market reform hypothesis by assessing the impact of perceived school performance, race, and religion on private school enrollment. Previous work in this vein has relied on statewide data, generating findings that may not generalize to the urban districts at the center of the scho…
Coping With Competition: The impact of Charter Schooling on Public School Outreach in Arizona
Advocates of market‐based education reform hypothesize that competition will cause traditional public schools to increase outreach efforts as they seek to market themselves. Advocates hope such efforts will result in more information on school activities and performance and thereby enhance accountability. We examine the effect of charter school competition on outreach efforts by a sample of 98 Arizona district schools, finding that charter compet…
Bringing the social sciences alive: 10 Simulations for History, Economics, Government, and Geography
A handy guide to the use of simulations in the classroom, this material provides important directions, background content, and reproducible materials for ten ready-to-use simulations that will engage your students in a variety of performance-related activities. An extensive introduction provides both the novice and the experienced teacher with guidelines for assessment, as well as discussions on designing and creating unique simulations and modif…
Politics and Sex-Related Programs in Urban Schooling
Very little is known about why urban school districts choose to enact sex-related education and health programs. In this article, the authors test a model explaining such programs using a 1992 Council of Urban Boards of Education survey. They find that the likelihood a school district will offer such programs is significantly affected by perceived local support for the programs, the percentage of women on the school board, the local Hispanic popu…
A Political Explanation of Policy Selection: The Case of Urban School Reform
Amid the torrent of reform activity in urban school systems, some proposals fare better than others. The traditional technocratic presumption is that reforms are chosen for their educational merit. I suggest that, to the contrary, institutional incentives encourage urban policymakers to emphasize symbolic appeal. Data from a 1995 study of 57 urban districts are used to compare the fate of two school reforms. The more symbolically attractive refor…
