Section XII 95-EI-06 Ten Problems with Charter Schools Larry Kuehn Director, Research and Technology, British Columbia Teachers' Federation, 1995 What are charter schools? Definitions vary, according to rules set by different jurisdictions. Legislation allowing for charter schools is on the books in several U.S. states and in Alberta. Britain passed legislation in 1988 allowing for "grant maintained" schools, essentially their version of what have been called charter schools in North America. Some common elements apply, despite the differences: a privately operated school holds a charter that allows it to receive full public funding without being subject to many of the regulations and decisions that apply to public schools. Much of the criticism of charter schools has been based on a concern that they contribute to a breakdown of the public purposes of public schooling. Others have found that experience indicates that many of the positive hopes for effectiveness have not been achieved in practice. Charter schools create two-tiered education.

Time.com People Fortune EW Report: Can't yet tell effectiveness of vouchers, charter schools WASHINGTON (AP) Giving low-income students government money to attend private schools seems to help them a bit, but it's unclear whether larger voucher programs would have an effect, according to a study released Thursday. Researchers with RAND, a think tank, also said charter school programs seem beneficial, but that there's not enough evidence these programs make a dramatic improvement in learning. "For most of the key questions, direct evaluations of vouchers and charter schools have not yet provided clear answers, and the list of unknowns remains substantially longer than the list of knowns," researchers said. The study said vouchers are popular and seem to bring modest benefits to low-income black students in troubled schools. But there is not enough evidence to say whether expanding the programs would help students in other ethnic groups. Calling for more long-term data on the academic progress of voucher and charter school students, the study said there's little research comparing such programs' effects to more conventional reforms such as reducing class size and improving teacher training.

Reasons to Support Charter Schools > 40 states have charter school laws. Although the Washington Legislature passed a charter school law in March 2004, labor unions and other charter school opponents persuaded a majority of voters to overturn the law in a referendum that was decided in the November 2004 election. As a result, bringing the CHOICE of charter public schools to WA will require the passage of new legislation authorizing charter schools, either by the Legislature or, through the initiative process, by the People.

Welcome to my Thornaby on Tees website. This site is a compilation of the original 1999 and 2000 Thornaby web sites. latest site update August 21 st 2005. Thornaby on Tees is on the southern banks of the river Tees with Stockton across the river on the north bank. Thornaby on Tees is a Royal Charter Town. click here We are approximately 250 miles from London by road. The town was mentioned in the Doomsday Book. The Victorian town centre was developed in the 19th century around the banks of the River Tees, which was a centre for heavy industry and shipbuilding which thrived on what is today known as the Teesdale site. This centre was replaced in the 1960s by the present town centre of Thornaby, around a mile (1.5km) south of the original centre. It offers a wide range of shopping facilities, with a market on Thursdays, and includes the Pavilion sports and leisure complex. The old Teesdale site has been developed and gone are the old steel and shipbuilding industries to be replaced with housing ,office blocks and university buildings. The old Stockton racecourse on the Mandale Bottoms/Erimus area is now a shopping centre and just next to the leisure complex near the Old River.

Small Learning Communities Designed for Student Achievement Curriculum, Program Values and Policies for High Performance Small Learning Communities What Small Learning Community Developers Need to Know Second order change is the key to the renewal of large high schools. Small Learning Community Startup FAQ's Small learning communities are not necessarily better schools. If they wish to justify their existence, they must be deliberate in their program design, curricular vision, and school philosophy. Curriculum for quality performances must be built into a small learning community's structure and expectations even before its first students are enrolled. This is what is called "second order" change. Bellevue International School: Designing Small Learning Communities for Student Achievement Bellevue International School: "education blew in and took its seat in the classrooms along the breezeway still scattered with flaking chips of paint. It was the first day of school. It was the first day of a school." Mary E. Cronin
