The case for contract schools -- pt. 2. Implementing a contract school system.A heated debate is raging over our nation's public schools and how they should be reformed, with proposals ranging from imposing national standards to replacing public education altogether with a voucher system for private schools. Combining decades of experience in education, the authors propose an innovative approach to solving the problems of our school system and find a middle ground between these extremes. Reinventing Public Education shows how contracting would radically change the way we operate our schools, while keeping them public and accessible to all, and making them better able to meet standards of achievement and equity. Using public funds, local school boards would select private providers to operate individual schools under formal contracts specifying the type and quality of instruction. In a hands-on, concrete fashion, the authors provide a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of school contracting and how it would work in practice. They show how contracting would free local school boards from operating schools so they can focus on improving educational policy; how it would allow parents to choose the best school for their children; and, finally, how it would ensure that schools are held accountable and academic standards are met. While retaining a strong public role in education, contracting enables schools to be more imaginative, adaptable, and suited to the needs of children and families. In presenting an alternative vision for America's schools, Reinventing Public Education is too important to be ignored.RAND research study.Performance contracts in educationUnited StatesEducational changeUnited StatesEducational accountabilityUnited StatesPrivatization in educationUnited StatesElectronic books.Performance contracts in educationEducational changeEducational accountabilityPrivatization in education379.1/1Hill Paul T(Paul Thomas),1943-111043Pierce Lawrence C929342Guthrie James W929343MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454062303321Reinventing public education2088722UNINA01296nam0 22003131i 450 UON0052015120231205105541.11220231116d1992 |0itac50 baitaIT|||| |||||ˆLa ‰memoria e i silenziuna città e il suo cimiteroAntonio Cavicchia Scalamonti, Gianfranco Pecchinendacon la collaborazione di Ferdinando MontiNapoliColonnese1992229 p.24 cm001UON001759162001 ˆI ‰Nuovi Trucioli210 NapoliColonnese.27NapoliAntropologiaUONC035985FIRITI FUNEBRIUONC022427FIITNapoliUONL000012393USI E COSTUMI FUNEBRI21Cavicchia ScalamontiAntonioUONV1238340PecchinendaGianfrancoUONV123835143419MONTIFerdinandoUONV293150ColonneseUONV268563650ITSOL20250321RICASIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOUONSIUON00520151SIBA - SISTEMA BIBLIOTECARIO DI ATENEOSI F.
