Hess, Frederick M. – Policy Innovators in Education Network, 2012
Today, in a sector flooded with $3.5 billion in School Improvement Grant funds and the resulting improvement plans, there's great faith that "turnaround" strategies are a promising way to tackle stubborn problems with persistently low-performing schools.

Wright, Adam – Journal of Education Policy, 2012
The swift nature of school reform enacted by the new Conservative-led coalition government has sparked debate over the future of state education in Britain.

Willis, Mariam – Parenting for High Potential, 2012
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than half of marriages have ended in divorce since the mid-1970s. Nonetheless, schools and community organizations continue to be inclined to act as if nontraditional/neo-traditional families are an anomaly. Despite the reality of new family structures, popular television, movies, and books continue to…

Tang, Fengyan; Copeland, Valire Carr; Wexler, Sandra – Social Work Research, 2012
Volunteering is viewed as an empowerment process whereby older adults actively participate in the community and improve their well-being and health.

The present study addresses this research gap by…

Olson Beal, Heather K.; Hendry, Petra Munro – American Journal of Education, 2012

Levi, Margaret – PS: Political Science and Politics, 2010
My subject is the way Peter Bachrach addressed the question of poverty. But given that I was his student and research assistant and that I am a political scientist largely because of him, it is impossible to resist a few words about the experience of being in his classrooms. Peter was an inspiring teacher of politics. The substantive content of…
