Policymaking Process: No Child Left Behind Act
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Establishing political policy is a process both lengthy and involved, more often than not fraught with painful compromise. From the very first inkling of interest to the final and official signature, the comprehensive process requires myriad explicit steps to ultimately enact policy, not the least of which entails dealing with individual personalities and agendas. One can readily note the vast complexities of the policy process, not the least of which speaks to the importance of the implementation portion, an element of the overall process that is "inextricably related to, and interdependent with, the other parts" (Nakamura et al, 1980, p. 21). When assessing this concern as it relates to, for example, President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, one must also recognize how various environments - whether official (the president) or unofficial (the press, public opinion, etc.) policy makers - "constitute the essence of the policy system" (Nakamura et al, 1980, p. 21).

Political, Economic, Historical and Cultural Issues as Influences on the Trends, Policies and Reforms in the Educational System
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing factors influencing the trends in the educational system. Political, economic and historical factors have had a great deal of influence on the trends and reforms which have occurred in the educational system over the course of time. Although education was a guaranteed right from each state in accordance with the U.S. Constitution, state legislation carefully implemented restrictions to certain populations within the general educational system. The 1950s and 1960s was a time which saw the greatest shift in the educational system due to a variety of factors. Firstly, the Civil Rights Movement led to the development of the rights of all citizens to an equal opportunity for education and the educational systems had to accommodate all citizens regardless of race and ability. Secondly, federal funding in regards to programs for the sciences increased dramatically upon the federal realization that the Soviet educational system was scientifically superior to that in the United States. Recently, the cultural shift which is taking place within the United States will also impact the educational system in regards to cultural policies, teacher education, linguistic programming, student population considerations and social programming among other factors influenced by the growing Hispanic population within the country. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Population Changes: Affect Upon California's Latino Students
[ send me this paper ]
9 pages in length. As a result of the changing demography of Latino students within California's school system, it has become apparent that other changes have also taken place due to this shift in population that adversely affect the academic needs of the Chicano/Latino population at the elementary, secondary and post secondary segments of the educational pipeline. Humanity has been enduring an ongoing battle for centuries: the strained relations among the races. Despite efforts to put the past behind, signs remain at nearly every juncture that there still exists a strong sense of racial dissension. While many Caucasians do not see the problem being as severe as it is represented, Latinos angrily reply that the lighter skinned race has not had to endure such prejudice and, therefore, cannot begin to identify with the situation. Caucasian Americans do not interpret racism as a big problem, therefore, they do not see a need for government intervention. Similarly other United States minorities believe they often receive unfair treatment, as well, because of their race. However, assimilation into the California school system presents yet another obstacle for the growing Latino population. The writer discusses issues of academic interference, as well as addresses potential solutions. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

Portfolios & Self-Reflection/Effect on Student Achievement
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page research paper that discusses the flexibility and adaptability of portfolio assessment. Portfolios have been shown to actively engage student in "learning content," and the help student the valuable skills of "reflection and self-evaluation," as they document student learning in subjects that do not lend themselves to traditional forms of assessment (Player 15). By offering students the opportunity to reflect on the learning process and to self-evaluate their work, portfolio assessment enhances the processes that underlie student achievement. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
