...of this research is to identify the reformation from the No Child Left behind Act that was reform from President Bush to the President Obama Blue Print for Reform Act and the Raising to the Top for Education. The research proves that the reformation of the Blue Print has greatly increased in the education of all children to indulge in a higher education. This reformation has not only help with the children but the welfare of the economy and the communities as well. The report identifies key elements of the policy and makes recommendations for future policy development identifying official and unofficial actors, interest groups, the influence of two of those actors, their influence in further development of the policy Executive Summary A substantial body of evidence has shown that past reforms have largely failed to improve schools, but The Blue Print for Reform along with the Rise to The Top Program (RTTT) has made a significant change in education. The Blueprint for Reform builds on the significant reforms already made in response to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 around four areas: (1) Improving teacher and principal effectiveness to ensure that every classroom has a great teacher and every school has a great leader; (2) Providing information to families to help them evaluate and improve their children's schools, and to educators to help them improve their students' learning; (3) Implementing college- and career-ready standards and developing improved...

...society. A theory is defined to be “a statement of how and why specific facts are related” (Macionis, Jansson, and Benoit 10). The three theories that are presented are the structural-functional approach, the conflict approach and the symbolic-interaction approach. For the purpose of this paper, I have chosen to compare the first two using the topic of education (which is further discussed in Chapter 14 of the same book). The structural-functional approach, also known as structural functionalism or the blue theory, “sees the society as a complex system whose parts work together to promote solidarity and stability” (Macionis, Jansson, and Benoit 10-11). One may want to think of a watch whose parts come together as a whole in order to give the time of the day. How does education relate to this sociological theory? As any other service offered to society, it has its functions. Not only does it socialize and culturally innovate population by leaving it into teachers’ hands to pass on their knowledge to future generations, it socially integrates students as schools are becoming more and more ethnically diverse. Schooling leads to a certain social placement as the higher education and specialization one receives, the better job and pay they will be getting later on in life. These are the main functions that are known through out society. However, education and schooling provide less recognizable functions such as daycare for the working parents and allowing adults to acquire a...

...parental involvement means to have the parent there in the moment to help their children understand and succeed, and economics is what today is all about and how our children will succeed in life with good paying jobs to take care of their families. Without these three factors children in the 21st century will not succeed effectively in school or out. In today’s technology, school teachers now have to be educated to keep up with the knowledge and techniques of the 21st century. Teachers need to be well developed in computer technology to help with succeeding in writing and reading literacy. The value of educational time spent on using technology to support students' literacy development rests on its ability to promote higher level thinking, collaboration, constructivism, speed and information evaluation ( Asselin, M. 2001). With the teaching of technology and literacy improving because of the use of cell phones, ipads, iphones, lap tops, etc., one can tell how different classes in school, compared to out of school games that children are engaging in. Teachers believe that what’s done outside school does not compare to what’s done in school, but if...

...A Review of Thelin's book History of American Higher Education Chapter 7: Gilt by Association According to John Thelin, the golden age of higher education ranged from 1945 to 1965 and the shape of Higher Education changed significantly during this period. When viewed in terms an economist might use, the market for higher education changed significantly by experiencing a shift in both the supply and the demand curve. This shift was in large part due to the GI Bill of 1944, and the fact that institutions were in some measure prepared for the large increase in demand. They had already invested the monies necessary to build the structures, and adding students was much less costly than the initial outlay of land and construction. When universities did add classrooms they were typically Quonset huts and other temporary buildings. The GI Bill of 1944 (more correctly entitled the Servicemen's Readjustment Act of 1944) provided many benefits to veterans of World War II. President Franklin Roosevelt wanted a way to allow servicemen to reenter the labor market gradually, allowing factories time to retool, switching from making tanks to making tires. At the time, education was not a central concern. The education portion of the GI Bill was added on by a few legislators and the American Legion once the act was already written. After a year of debate and compromise, the final version passed by one vote in a joint conference. Oddly enough, many higher education officials did not...

...Assessment without High-Stakes Testing Protecting Childhood and the Purpose of School David Mitchell, Douglas Gerwin, Ernst Schuberth, Michael Mancini, and Hansjörg Hofrichter 1 Picture a breezy spring morning at the beach. White-tipped waves roll rhythmically up the sand, washing away footprints like a blackboard eraser on a classroom blackboard. A group of children on a school outing marches purposefully along the shore through the edge of the frothy waves. A couple of eager kids stride out in front. The teacher walking along with the main group of the class notices that one of the boys is lagging behind. The teacher slows her step to find out why this child is not keeping up with his class. There are several possibilities: 1. The child is unable to keep up with the group, due to some disability, physical or emotional, or simply exhaustion for lack of sleep or nourishment; 2. The child is unwilling to keep up with the group, due to a lack of interest or, perhaps, a surfeit of distractions along the way; or 3. The child does not know how to keep up with the group, possibly because he is new to this experience and has not been taught how to hold his balance against the waves. In each of these cases, the teacher will respond differently. In the first case, she may scoop up the boy and carry him, or ply him with a quick snack or a sip of water. In the second, she may draw his attention to something of interest up ahead or coax him with some gentle words of sympathy and encouragement...

...Response With absolute certainty, I am a straddler! My family is Irish American, a high-school diploma and your union card is proper protocol. My father, his father, and his father before him were soldier's then tradesmen. There is a long storied history of being “working class heroes”. On the surface, it would appear Alfred Lubrano and I, share a commonality in backgrounds ethnic families, blue collar role models, and a rich sense of tradition. However, the similarities are only superficial; our lives were quite different. There were high expectations placed upon me; one could conclude that my future was predetermined. My stance on education runs contrary; I believe education does not result in family separation but, rather it binds. The purpose of this retort is to elicit a response, to share an opposing viewpoint, and ultimately to sway the reader. As a child growing up in the projects of suburban Los Angeles, learning was encouraged. I cannot remember a family that did not have a set of The Encyclopedia Britannica. Much of this interest in learning can be attributed to our parents having come of age during the turbulent nineteen sixties. A new importance was placed on social issues, the nation was divided. The status quo in doubt, our country was in the midst of an identity crisis. The seventies proved to be an era of rebirth. A renewed emphasis was placed on education, I.Q. testing was prevalent, advanced placement courses were offered. It was no different for me; I...

Hargrave based his inventing by ‘following the footsteps of nature’ inspired by the motion of fish, snakes and birds. 1893, 1894 Hargrave invent the box kite and following year in 1894 he flies for a short period using a ‘train’ of four box kites. 1910 The first powered, control flight is demonstrated by a visiting Harry Houdini in Victoria and again at Rosehill in Sydney. 1912-17 In 1912 the Australian Flying Corps, AFC, in 1912 led the path aircraft for military purposes. The aircrafts were applied in 1914 and again in 1916 for war purposes. In 1916 the importance of aircraft was realised and the NSW Aviation School was formed to train civil and military aircraft, located at Richmond. Post war saw the aircrafts as a form of transport between Sydney and Melbourne in 1917 using a Curtiss Jenny and Caudron G111. 1921 To further advance the power of potential of air power, the Royal Austrlian Air Force, RAAF, was established in 1921. This was mainly to support the struggling aircraft in the military however at the same time a fundamental character, Lt Colonel Oswald Watt advanced the safety and use of civil aircraft. 1930-37 Australia and England led the way for the world of female pilots. Qantas and Royal Flying Doctor Service took advantage of the new transport and the air craft industry began to flourish. 1950s The demand for new aircraft to...

ANAND REDDY SUBMITTED BY: NIRAJ KUMAR (ROLL NO.26) NIRANJAN KASHYAP (ROLL NO. 27) NITISH KUMAR (ROLL NO. 28) PHANIRAJ VARMA (ROLL NO. 29) PRATEEK KAPOOR (ROLL NO. 30) GENERAL MANAGEMENT Page 1 10 INNOVATIVE CONCEPT IN MANAGEMENT 1. Triple bottom line The triple bottom line refers to an accounting model in which environmental and social considerations are measured along with financial performance. The concept shifts corporate responsibility from shareholders' profits to stakeholders' interests. In other words, the triple bottom line focuses on anyone who is affected by organizations decisions, rather than focusing on investors. Because it includes social, economic and environmental considerations, the triple bottom line's goal is sustainability. Socially, a triple bottom line organization is characterized by fair business practices that benefit many stakeholders while exploiting none. Economically, the "profits" from the triple bottom line, including clean air, improved safety, clean water, etc., are shared by the society, as well as internal corporate profits that keep the business running. Environmentally, a triple bottom line organization works to reduce its carbon footprint and be responsible for the entire life cycle of its products. Social and environmental issues play a greater role in consumer and B2B choices than ever before. The "Green" movement was on the fringes of mainstream culture just a few years ago...

...review, and use of information about Educational programs undertaken for the purpose of improving learning and Development (Palomba, & Banta, 1999). Assessment generally involves measurement, testing and evaluation the terms, which are mostly confused by many people. Test or Test Instrument is a systematic procedure for measuring a sample of an individual's behavior, such as multiple-choice, performance test, open book among others (Brown, 1971). Evaluation on the other hand is a systematic process for the collection and use of information from many sources to be applied in interpreting the results and in making value judgments and decisions (Wolansky, 1985). While measurement is the process employed to obtain a quantified representation of the degree to which a learner reflects a trait or behavior. This is one of the many scores that an individual may achieve on a test (Wolansky, 1985). In assessing any instrument or program one should not lose the sight of the fact that a test cannot be analyzed objectively on its quality, validity, reliability and objectivity without linking it to the whole educational curriculum or the instructional design. So generally, the discussion to follow is a sound and concrete flow of ideas to link the exam test features to the educational curriculum or the school instructional design and a clear demonstration of the...

...Education’s Effect on the “Wage Gap” A hot-topic that continues to be a point of emphasis across not only the United States economy but the world economy as a whole is the ever-increasing gap between the upper-class and lower-class. The recent recession in the United States has intensified the subject seeing the top one percent of incomes in the country rise 20% in 2012 as opposed to some other lower-class incomes falling as much as 18% throughout that same timeframe. Other countries have seen similar issues between the two classes and the path toward extinction for the “middle-class.” In-order to combat this trend, some countries have instituted economic policy changes specifically around education. The following will explain how education and the wage gap are related, what the situation is currently in the United States, and what other countries are doing to combat the wage gap which the U.S. can learn from. In order to understand how education has an effect on the wage gap, it is first important to understand the labor market and how wages are determined. “The Marginal Productivity of Labor” is the additional output produced by the addition of one more labor worker holding all other inputs fixed. “The Law of Diminishing Marginal Productivity of Labor” says that the more workers there are (again, holding all things constant) the lower the total productivity per worker will be. This is comparable to having a factory with only one machine. If more...

...programs. Meanwhile, many prominent hackers mock those programs publicly. Although I’ve touched on security education and training quite a bit, I’m continually asked to provide a resource for people who are trying to transition from school or other fields into Information Security roles. Ours is a healthy job market and we do need qualified and motivated applicants. The jobs exist, but we repeatedly see candidates being given false advice to get them. With tremendous and very much appreciated help from many of my colleagues and friends in the field, I have endeavored to compile a comprehensive blog about starting an InfoSec career. This is a very lengthy blog broken into sections that may help people as parts or as a whole. We want you to succeed in our field. As always, please feel free to ask questions or leave comments / gripes / suggestions. Chapter 1: The Fundamentals Unfortunately, for all the interminable hacking tool tutorials and security guides floating around the internet, many InfoSec job candidates haven’t grasped two fundamental concepts: * To hack something (or defend it from hacking), you must have a solid understanding of how that thing works. And, * InfoSec is not a career that can be put in a box once you go home from work or school. You must be passionate enough about the field to be continually learning and aware of quickly changing current events. If you want a career that you can forget about once you go home at 5:00 PM, InfoSec is probably not the right...
