Sommario/riassunto

Plusieurs raisons militent en faveur d'une étude du processus de désengagement de l'État dans le domaine de la protection sociale. Certains voudront mieux connaître les fondements et l'organisation du filet de sécurité sociale au Canada. D'autres voudront savoir aussi en quoi a consisté sa restructuration profonde à partir de 1975. D'autres, enfin, s'intéresseront au processus de désengagement en tant que tel ou encore aux stratégies politiques que le gouvernement fédéral a mises en place pendant une vingtaine d'années pour restructurer la sécurité du revenu au moindre coût politique possible.  Cet ouvrage poursuit trois grands objectifs. D'abord, il vise à analyser le processus et les formes de désengagement du gouvernement canadien dans le domaine de la sécurité du revenu entre 1975 et 1995. Pour ce faire, il examine les changements qui se sont produits dans quatre grands programmes fédéraux : pensions de vieillesse, assurance-chômage,



Régime d'assistance publique du Canada et prestations financières pour enfants. Ensuite, il compare les approches et stratégies que le gouvernement fédéral a poursuivies au cours de cette période pour se désengager de certaines obligations financières envers les citoyens. Enfin, il établit des distinctions importantes entre les facteurs associés à l'expansion de l'État providence canadien (1950 à 1974) et ceux associés au désengagement (depuis 1975).

Sommario/riassunto

Enact innovative grading systems that more accurately describe student progress! This book challenges traditional grading practices and provides alternatives that can have direct impact on student success. By making subtle shifts toward standards based grading systems, schools can reduce unnecessary course failures, provide students and their families a more accurate picture of current progress, and increase opportunities for success. The author offers a range of grading reform strategies that are built from practical frameworks that are effective and simple to adapt. Among the many strengths of this book are: . Practical application of existing research and evidence base for effective secondary grading reforms . A framework for schools and



districts to apply and adapt failure prevention strategies such as early failure detection, Amnesty Days, and meaningful stipulated second chance opportunities for students to reach mastery . Functional strategies and actions for shifting toward standards-based (referenced) grading without entirely abandoning letter grades . Countering resistance to change through a-clearly-articulated plan for conducting school-wide and classroom level action research around the effectiveness of new or adjusted grading practices "Informative and pragmatic, this book is spot on with analysis of this elephant in the room issue. Nagel uses both empathy and humor in getting to the heart of a process to generate real solutions while underscoring the ultimate need for teacher voice in any successful implementation. He provides ready-made strategies for real, impactful change. I'm left hopeful that feedback will rule the day!" -Bruce Potter, Superintendent Berkshire UFSD "Nagel offers an insightful and articulate voice to secondary improvement and alignment through grading practices. His tried and true methods through working with real districts provides a starting place and examples for others to follow. A must-read for anyone serious about ensuring student engagement through meaningful feedback." -Debra K. Howe, Superintendent Tri-Creek School Corporation?
