Giving Feedback: Emotional Intelligence in Action [electronic resource]

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by ClickView (Firm)
Call Number XX(302401.1)
Summary Giving feedback is something we do day-in, day-out, with our teams and with our peers. It may be informal coaching; it may be a formal performance review. We may even give feedback unconsciously through our body language and other signals. But however we communicate it, feedback is fundamental to what managers, team leaders and colleagues do. Developing feedback skills through a more emotionally competent approach can make an enormous difference to management skills and abilities. Emotional intelligence is the basis for an effective approach. To be emotionally intelligent at work, consistently, is hard. But it's not a skill that we're either given, or denied, at birth! Anyone can develop their behaviour to become more emotionally intelligent. Emotional intelligence does deliver results. Understanding and applying emotional intelligence can provide an important competitive edge. It's one of the key ways in which you can help the people you work with to improve their abilities in giving feedback. This outstanding programme clearly identifies the best approaches to take when giving feedback to others, and shows how to establish relationships to fire-up, support and maintain learning. It is an invaluable resource for either group training or self-study.

Better patient feedback, better healthcare [electronic resource] / Taher Mahmud ; foreword by Graeme Catto.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Mahmud, Taher.
Call Number 610.696 23
Publication Date 2012
Summary Until recently, patient feedback has not had a very high profile in clinical practice. There has been no tradition of systematically gathering and tracking patient feedback over time - let alone using the findings to continually review and improve services. Why is it so vital to gather patient feedback? The fact is that involving patients leads to better treatment adherence and more effective healthcare; and better healthcare means increased health benefits for patients and reduced expenditure for national health systems. This landmark publication explores ideas related to patient feedback and care, and offers effective methods of measuring, analysing and utilising feedback. Such approaches can lead to continual small improvements that cumulatively add up to major long-term transformation in healthcare systems. In clinical settings where staff members are already dealing with many different screening and checking systems, employing these techniques may seem like an additional burden. However, it has been found that implementing a good patient feedback system actually helps to streamline services. Furthermore, patient feedback will increasingly be used by NHS healthcare commissioners for reimbursement purposes. This is already happening in the USA and it is being proposed in the UK. Quite simply, Better Patient Feedback, Better Healthcare is required reading for any healthcare professional or administrator wanting to improve the effectiveness, efficiency and quality of patient care offered by their service.

Summary Carol is underwhelmed when "dude" Dion (Marcus' nephew) rocks up to commence work as an intern, and also isn't impressed by the entitled Tatiana. Marcus explains to the interns that Cutting Edge is there to help them move forward. Carlos is welcoming - offering Dion a desk to help him feel at home. Carol objects to the interns' "text speak" and use of emoticons; not to mention time wasted on social media. Dion points out that companies allowing employees a given amount of time on Facebook are actually more productive. Steve explains the importance of dressing professionally; while Serena makes time to talk with the interns, perceiving their potential. Carol's assessment of Dion is blunt; she believes he has no place in their office. Serena asserts that constructive feedback is the better path. Steve coaches Tatiana through what to say (and not to say) in job interviews. Carol concludes with some slightly tempered advice for Dion and he makes a positive suggestion.

Wellbeing Essentials : Emotions versus Evidence [electronic resource]

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by ClickView (Firm)
Call Number XX(303214.1)
Summary Chapter 1: Keep a sense of perspective We catastrophise: if something goes slightly wrong, we assume everything's gone terribly wrong. We project disasters in our future. Try to keep perspective and recall previous occasions when you catastrophised, remembering that a catastrophe didn't follow. Ask yourself how you will feel about it one day, one month or one year from now. Chapter 2: Empathy Consider why colleagues are behaving in a way that annoys you. Try stepping into their shoes and seeing things from their perspective. Beliefs, not events cause distress - figure out which beliefs are making you upset. Recall when you have behaved badly and remember your reasons. Chapter 3: The worst-case scenario Instead of 'looking on the bright side', it can be useful to ask 'what's the worst that could happen'. In considering the worst outcomes, you realise that you could cope with most of them. Chapter 4: Mind-reading If you think people have negative views of you it's easy to find "evidence" of that. Don't let a lack of confidence lead you to read things the wrong way. Ask for feedback regularly.

Influencing Essentials : Achieving Goals and Commitments [electronic resource]

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by ClickView (Firm)
Call Number XX(303266.1)
Summary Chapter 1: Use Ranges to Motivate People When pursuing goals people tend to focus on two things: achievability and challenge. Single number goals (e.g. open 3 new accounts this week) are either achievable, challenging or a compromise in-between. High-low range goals (e.g. open 2 - 4 new accounts this week) engage both achievability and challenge and lead to longer commitment. Chapter 2: People Live up to What They Write Down It's human nature to want to live up to the commitments we make, but it's still hard! Commitments stand the best chance of being lived up to if they are action-orientated and made public. One way to do that is to get agreements in writing and, if possible, share them with others. Chapter 3: Focus on the Small Number People are more motivated to complete a task when they get feedback that focuses on small rather than large numbers. When persuading people to pursue a task or goal providing feedback on whatever is the smaller number - either progress made or effort remaining - is more motivating. For example, "we're already 20% towards our target" is better than "we've 80% left to go."

Summary What are the direct and indirect influences of principals on student achievement? How do successful principals motivate others? What kinds of relationships do they have with parents, students, and staff? Principals and Student Achievement identifies 26 essential traits and behaviors of effective principals to show how they achieve success as instructional leaders. Based on a review of 81 key research articles from the last 20 years, this concise book examines how certain practices can affect student achievement, including: . Communication and interaction . Classroom observation and feedback to teachers . Recognition of student and staff achievement . Dedication to a safe and orderly school environment . Support of professional development of staff . Role modeling The book also reviews differences in instructional leadership between elementary and secondary principals, male and female principals, principals in high- and low-socioeconomic-status schools, and more. We all know that principals are important to student success, but few people have pinpointed exactly how they make a positive difference. At a time when principals are being asked to do more for school reform and accountability, Principals and Student Achievement provides a valuable resource for identifying what it takes to be an effective principal and, in turn, an effective school.

Call Number 620.23 22
Publication Date 2001
Summary Signal Processing for Active Control sets out the signal processing and automatic control techniques that are used in the analysis and implementation of active systems for the control of sound and vibration. After reviewing the performance limitations introduced by physical aspects of active control, Stephen Elliott presents the calculation of the optimal performance and the implementation of adaptive real time controllers for a wide variety of active control systems. Active sound and vibration control are technologically important problems with many applications. 'Active control' means controlling disturbance by superimposing a second disturbance on the original source of disturbance. Put simply, initial noise + other specially-generated noise or vibration = silence [or controlled noise]. This book presents a unified approach to techniques that are used in the analysis and implementation of different control systems. It includes practical examples at the end of each chapter to illustrate the use of various approaches. This book is intended for researchers, engineers, and students in the field of acoustics, active control, signal processing, and electrical engineering.

A delicate balance [electronic resource] : portfolio analysis and management for intelligence information dissemination programs / Eric Landree [and others].

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Landree, Eric.
Call Number 353.172380973 22
Publication Date 2009
Summary This publication describes the application of the RAND Corporation's Portfolio Analysis and Management Method (PortMan) to the evaluation of the National Security Agency's (NSA) information dissemination program portfolio, which is managed by the NSA Information Sharing Services (ISS) division. RAND's PortMan method enables the data-driven analysis of project portfolios and provides a means to monitor the progress of potentially high-value projects. It also allows portfolio managers to monitor the impact of any mitigation strategies they undertake, ensuring that the portfolio's highest potential value is achieved. For this project, RAND researchers first employed the Delphi method, a process for eliciting group opinion by a series of questionnaires with selective feedback from earlier responses, to collect expert opinion from the ISS Senior Leadership Group. This allowed for an estimation of value and risk for each project. RAND then used these estimates, together with cost information provided by ISS, to develop project rankings and to estimate the expected value-to-cost ratio for each project. RAND selected portfolios of projects that maximized the total expected value for the available program budget using a linear programming method and compared these results to ISS management's funding priorities.

Building student literacy through sustained silent reading / Steve Gardiner.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Gardiner, Steve.
Call Number 428.4071 22
Publication Date 2005
Summary Annotation Building Student Literacy Through Sustained Silent Reading offers a powerful solution for teachers who want to improve their students reading ability: Let students choose what they read and give them the time to read it. For 27 years, high school teacher Steve Gardiner has used the sustained silent reading (SSR) program in his English classes to help students of all abilities and backgrounds improve their literacy. Gardiner writes with refreshing candor about his own experiences developing a sustained silent reading program. He demonstrates convincingly that giving students 15 minutes of uninterrupted reading time each day can help them discover their own abilities and develop enduring reading habits. Gardiner also explores SSR's effect on the various dimensions of literacy reading and writing proficiency, vocabulary and spelling skills, and content comprehension by summarizing current research and sharing feedback from teachers, students, and administrators. Finally, he demonstrates how teachers can adapt SSR for their classes unique needs without interfering with mandated curriculum or lesson plans. In an environment where reading is an essential part of all subjects, Building Student Literacy Through Sustained Silent Reading shows how a simple and inexpensive program can not only help students achieve greater success in school, but give them a valuable gift: the joy of reading.

by Thompson, Marc T.
Call Number 621.3815 22
Publication Date 2006
Summary This book reflects Dr. Thompson's twenty years of experience designing and teaching analog circuit design, and is an outgrowth of course notes from his graduate-level analog circuit design course taught at Worcester Polytechnic Institute entitled "Analog Circuits and Intuition." In this class, he describes intuitive and "back of the envelope" techniques for designing and analyzing analog circuits, including transistor amplifiers (CMOS and bipolar), transistor switching, thermal circuit design, magnetic circuit design, control systems, and the like. The application of some simple rules-of-thumb and design techniques is the first step in developing an intuitive understanding of the behavior of complex electrical systems. This book outlines some ways of thinking about analog circuits and systems that hopefully develops such "circuit intuition" and a "feel" for what a good, working analog circuit design should be. *Introduces analog circuit design with a minimum of mathematics. *Gives readers an intuitive "feel" for analog circuit operation and rules-of-thumb for their design. *Uses numerous analogies from digital design to help readers whose main background is in digital make the transition to analog design. *Accompanying CD-ROM contains PowerPoint presentations for each chapter and MATLAB files used in the text.

Teaching writing in the content areas [electronic resource] / Vicki Urquhart and Monette McIver.

by Urquhart, Vicki, 1950-
Call Number 808.042071 22
Publication Date 2005
Summary Annotation Most educators intuitively understand the critical relationship between thinking and writing: writing allows us to express what we think, but the very act of writing spurs a process of exploration that changes our thinking and helps us learn. Teaching Writing in the Content Areas examines nearly 30 years of research to identify how teachers can incorporate writing instruction that helps students master the course content and improve their overall achievement. Building on the recommendations of the National Commission on Writing, authors Vicki Urquhart and Monette McIver introduce four critical issues teachers should address when they include writing in their content courses: Creating a positive environment for the feedback and guidance students need at various stages, including prewriting, drafting, revising, and editing Monitoring and assessing how much students are learning through their writing Choosing computer programs that best enhance the writing process Strengthening their knowledge of course content and their own writing skills The authors also provide 35 classroom strategies, practices, and handouts that teachers can easily use in most subject areas or grade levels. From prewriting guides and worksheets to instructional guidance and analysis, the strategies offer realistic options to help teachers tailor writing assignments and instruction to the needs of each class. Teaching Writing in the Content Areas is more than a primer for teaching the mechanics of writing; it is a research-based guide to regularly engage students in writing that pushes them to express themselves clearly, to explore new ideas, and to become critical thinkers.

Understanding The Simpsons : animating the politics and poetics of participatory culture / Moritz Fink.

Call Number 791.4572 23

Summary Another book on The Simpsons? you might wonder. Isn't the yellow cartoon troupe around the eponymous chaotic family somewhat worn-out? Perhaps you even ask yourself whether that nineties' show is still on the air anyhow. Accolades such as "the best TV show of the twentieth century" or "the longest-running scripted series on American prime-time television" have elevated The Simpsons to the pop culture pantheon, while also suggesting the very vintage character of the program. But the label "The Simpsons" refers not just to a show that seems to belong to a bygone television era, it implies a rich narrative universe, including a set of iconic figures, familiar across continents and generations. Through lens of a transmedia studies, Understanding The Simpsons traces the franchise's trajectory, from its original conception shaped by alternative media traditions to its astounding, long-lived impact as a cult phenomenon in popular culture. Examining the legacy of online fan forums and bootleg T-shirts from the show's heyday in the early 1990s, as well as the meaning of The Simpsons in contemporary digital culture, this book demonstrates how one of the most popular comedy series of all time has redefined the intersections between the corporate media and participatory culture - and is alive indeed

The thin bone vault [electronic resource] : the origin of human intelligence / Fredric M. Menger.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Menger, Fredric M., 1937-
Call Number 612.82 22
Publication Date 2009
Summary This book delves into one of the greatest riddles perplexing modern science: "Why are humans so smart?" In a format understandable even by the non-expert, the author investigates the origins of human intelligence, starting with classical Darwinian concepts. Thus, the strengths and beauty of natural selection are presented with many examples taken from natural history. Common criticisms of Darwin, from scientists and non-scientists alike, are confronted and shown to be either inconclusive or outright false. The author then launches into a discussion of human intelligence, the most important feature of human evolution, and how it cannot be fully explained by mutational selection. Modern humans are smarter than what is demanded by our evolutionary experience as hunter-gatherers. The difficulty lies in the inability of natural selection to answer the following question: how can a complex set of genes, controlling expensive traits with little immediate benefit, come into permanent existence within a short time period in every member of a small population (which was dispersed and geographically isolated over a huge planet) which had a low reproductive output and a low mutation rate? The book concludes with a speculative epigenetic theory of intelligence that does not require DNA mutations as a source of evolution. Although the book is comprehensible by anyone with a college education, this last section in particular should intrigue both layman and expert alike.

Determining thresholds of complete sychronization and application [electronic resource] / Andrzej Stefański.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Stefański, Andrzej.
Call Number 003.7 22
Publication Date 2009
Summary This book is devoted to the phenomenon of synchronization and its application for determining the values of Lyapunov exponents. In recent years, the idea of synchronization has become an object of great interest in many areas of science, e.g., biology, communication or laser physics. Over the last decade, new types of synchronization have been identified and some interesting new ideas concerning the synchronization have also appeared. This book presents the complete synchronization problem rather than just results from the research. The problem is demonstrated in relation to a kind of coupling applied between dynamical systems, whereby a unique classification of possible couplings is introduced. Another novel feature is the connection presented between synchronization and the problem of determining the Lyapunov exponents, especially for non-differentiable systems. A detailed proposal of such an estimation method and examples of its application are included.

Understanding by design / Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Wiggins, Grant P., 1950-
Call Number 375.001 22
Publication Date 2005
Summary "What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike."--Publisher.

Media politics in China : improvising power under authoritarianism / Maria Repnikova.

by Repnikova, Maria, author.
Call Number 323.4450951 23
Publication Date 2017
Summary Who watches over the party-state? In this engaging analysis, Maria Repnikova reveals the webs of an uneasy partnership between critical journalists and the state in China. More than merely a passive mouthpiece or a dissident voice, the media in China also plays a critical oversight role, one more frequently associated with liberal democracies than with authoritarian systems. Chinese central officials cautiously endorse media supervision as a feedback mechanism, as journalists carve out space for critical reporting by positioning themselves as aiding the agenda of the central state. Drawing on rare access in the field, Media Politics in China examines the process of guarded improvisation that has defined this volatile partnership over the past decade on a routine basis and in the aftermath of major crisis events. Combined with a comparative analysis of media politics in the Soviet Union and contemporary Russia, the book highlights the distinctiveness of Chinese journalist-state relations, as well as the renewed pressures facing them in the Xi era.

Conversations about job performance [electronic resource] : a communication perspective on the appraisal process / Michael E. Gordon and Vernon D. Miller.

by Gordon, Michael E. (Michael Ernest)
Call Number 658.3125 23
Publication Date 2012
Summary Researchers and practitioners have devoted substantial time and effort over many years to develop satisfactory performance appraisal systems that impart useful information to employees about their job performance. Nonetheless, problems continue to arise, principally because managers often find it difficult to provide feedback on performance to their employees. We offer a Communication- Centered Approach (CCA) to performance appraisal that is focused on its most challenging part, viz., the appraisal interview. The CCA is intended to facilitate this discussion between managers and their employees by addressing the communication issues involved in preparing for, conducting, and reporting the results of a conversation about job performance. The CCA is useful because, despite the continuing evolution of performance appraisal, a conversation about the employee's performance is still a very important component of the latest systems. Also, focusing on communication offers a valuable perspective on all aspects of performance appraisal: defining performance and its various facets; how performance information is given and perceived; and the interactional context that affects the meaning of feedback. The CCA, in other words, offers ideas pertinent to the preinterview, interview, and post-interview phases of the performance appraisal process that make discussions of employee performance more effective. Importantly, the communication literature that is the basis for each of these ideas is described and illustrations are offered of how the conceptual foundation may be translated into practice. Samples of materials consistent with the CCA that were developed at a renowned research and development laboratory are woven into the presentation.

Assessing the validity of the Qualistar early learning quality rating and improvement system as a tool for improving child-care quality [electronic resource] / Gail L. Zellman [and others] : prepared for Qualistar Early Learning.

Call Number 362.7120684 22
Publication Date 2008
Summary "As a result of the generally low quality of child care in the United States and the increased emphasis on accountability in education policy, quality rating systems (QRSs) are proliferating in the child-care arena. QRSs assess child-care providers on multiple dimensions of quality and integrate these assessments into an easily understood summary rating (such as from 0 to 4 stars). These ratings are intended to help parents, funders, and other stakeholders make more informed choices about child care and to encourage providers to improve. Most QRSs are actually QRISs -- quality rating and improvement systems -- since they include feedback and technical assistance to help providers improve the quality of their care. However, there has been very little empirical examination of the validity of these systems -- how reliable their multiple components are, how effective they are in helping providers to improve the quality of care they provide, and how much children benefit from such improvement. This study assesses the QRIS developed by Qualistar Early Learning, a nonprofit organization based in Colorado that was one of the first organizations to create a QRIS. Zellman et al. set out to validate the Qualistar QRIS by assessing approximately 100 child-care providers and, at the outset, over 1,300 children over three waves of data collection. The study relied on two other, established measures of child-care quality on which to rate providers, as well as a number of direct child assessments. The design allowed for both cross-sectional and time-lagged analyses. The authors analyzed the five components of the Qualistar system separately, then examined how they related to each other; compared the Qualistar measures to the other measures of quality; assessed change in provider quality over time; and examined whether quality improvements as measured by the Qualistar QRIS were associated with better child outcomes."--Publisher's website.

Summary Dynamics of Coastal Systems is about the dynamic interaction between water motion and seabed topography, which affects the natural response of coastal systems to change in external conditions and to human interventions -- from the scale of seabed ripples up to the scale of entire barrier and delta systems. The book highlights major concepts developed during the past 50 years for the description of current-topography, tide-topography and wave-topography interactions. It provides simple analytical tools and models for diagnosing and predicting coastal response to change, with references to a great variety of coastal systems around the world. These concepts and tools are crucial for sustainable management of beaches, deltas and coastal wetlands. The book is based on a master course on coastal morphodynamics given at the Universities of Utrecht and Delft in The Netherlands for graduate students who are familiar with the basic concepts of coastal hydrodynamics. It enables coastal engineers to complete their background knowledge and to facilitate access to cutting-edge scientific literature on specific topics. The book may also serve to familiarise consultants, practitioners and academics in related coastal disciplines with modern concepts of land-sea interaction.

Call Number 629.892 22
Publication Date 1999
Summary Microcomputer technology and micromechanical design have contributed to recent rapid advances in Robotics. Particular advances have been made in sensor technology that allow robotic systems to gather data and react "intelligently" in flexible manufacturing systems. The analysis and recording of the data are vital to controlling the robot. In order to solve problems in control and planning for a Robotic system it is necessary to meet the growing need for the integration of sensors in to the system. Control in Robotics and Automation addresses this need. This book covers integration planning and control based on prior knowledge and real-time sensory information. A new task-oriented approach to sensing, planning and control introduces an event-based method for system design together with task planning and three dimensional modeling in the execution of remote operations. Typical remote systems are teleoperated and provide work efficiencies that are on the order of ten times slower than what is directly achievable by humans. Consequently, the effective integration of automation into teleoperated remote systems offers potential to improve remote system work efficiency. The authors introduce visually guided control systems and study the role of computer vision in autonomously guiding a robot system. * Sensor-Based Planning and Control in an Event-Based Approach * Visually Guided Sensing and Control * Multiple Sensor Fuson in Planning and Control * System Integration and Implementation * Practical Applications.

Take a number : how citizens' encounters with government shape political engagement / Elisabeth Gidengil.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Gidengil, Elisabeth, 1947- author.
Call Number 323.0420971 23
Publication Date 2020
Summary "Inspired by American studies of the impact of government programs on clients' political activity, Take a Number breaks new ground by investigating the lessons that people draw from their experiences with government bureaucracies, reaching very different conclusions about the effects of program participation in Canada. People's experiences with service providers matter. Far from being de-politicizing, negative experiences can be empowering, stimulating greater political interest and more political activity. In contrast to the findings of some American studies, there is no evidence that these encounters leave claimants in Canada with the sense that they are neither legitimate nor effective actors in the public sphere. Rather than discouraging participation in politics, being a recipient of means-tested benefits seems to be politically mobilizing. Based on extensive survey data, Take a Number casts new light on the problem of non-take-up of social benefits. Elisabeth Gidengil reveals that those who are most likely to benefit are often unaware of government programs. The more demanding and intrusive the claiming process, the more likely claimants are to find it difficult to access the program. These experiences with government programs prove to have larger implications for users' confidence in institutions and their satisfaction with democracy. A wide-ranging study of the politicizing effects of social program participation, Take a Number introduces a compelling new dimension to our understanding of why some citizens are politically active while others remain quiescent."--

The people's news : media, politics, and the demands of capitalism / Joseph E. Uscinski.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Uscinski, Joseph E.
Call Number 302.23 23
Publication Date 2014
Summary "In an ideal world, journalists act selflessly and in the public interest regardless of the financial consequences. However, in reality, news outlets no longer provide the most important and consequential stories to audiences; instead, news producers adjust news content in response to ratings, audience demographics, and opinion polls. While such criticisms of the news media are widely shared, few can agree on the causes of poor news quality. The People's News argues that the incentives in the American free market drive news outlets to report news that meets audience demands, rather than democratic ideals. In short, audiences' opinions drive the content that so often passes off as "the news." The People's News looks at news not as a type of media but instead as a commodity bought and sold on the market, comparing unique measures of news content to survey data from a wide variety of sources. Joseph Uscinski's rigorous analysis shows news firms report certain issues over others - not because audiences need to know them, but rather, because of market demands. Uscinski also demonstrates that the influence of market demands also affects the business of news, prohibiting journalists from exercising independent judgment and determining the structure of entire news markets as well as firm branding. Ultimately, the results of this book indicate profit-motives often trump journalistic and democratic values. The findings also suggest that the media actively responds to audiences, thus giving the public control over their own information environment. Uniting the study of media effects and media content, The People's News presents a powerful challenge to our ideas of how free market media outlets meet our standards for impartiality and public service. Joseph Uscinski is Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Miami"--

Helping children left behind : state aid and the pursuit of educational equity / edited by John Yinger.

2024-05-05T00:00:36Z

by Yinger, John, 1947-
Call Number 379.26 22
Publication Date 2004
Summary Federal reform legislation declares, through its title, that no child should be left behind. Despite this, the sad truth is that many children are being left behind, particularly in large, poor, urban school districts. Because of this inequity, state supreme courts have thrown out the education finance systems in eighteen states, and many states have implemented major education finance reforms. These reforms have lessened disparities in educational spending but appear to have had little impact on disparities in educational performance. Helping Children Left Behind explores both the general issues in education finance reform and the experiences of five states to understand why these disparities persist and to design policies that address them. The book is a valuable resource for scholars, public officials, and others interested in education finance reform. The first part of the book addresses the general issues involved in reform of state aid to education. After a comprehensive introductory chapter that outlines such issues as selecting aid formulas, adjusting for disadvantaged students, district accountability, and school choice, the chapters in part I examine these issues in more depth, discussing court cases involving school finance reform, the relationship between funding and accountability, and the consequences and feedback effects of school aid reform policies, including the effect on residential patterns. The second part of the book consists of detailed case studies of recent ambitious school finance reform efforts in Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Texas, and Vermont. Three appendixes offer valuable reference material, describing significant state court decisions on school finance systems (through June 2003), state operating aid programs, and state building aid formulas.
