The case for contract schools -- pt. 2. Implementing a contract school system. 330 $aA heated debate is raging over our nation's public schools and how they should be reformed, with proposals ranging from imposing national standards to replacing public education altogether with a voucher system for private schools. Combining decades of experience in education, the authors propose an innovative approach to solving the problems of our school system and find a middle ground between these extremes. Reinventing Public Education shows how contracting would radically change the way we operate our schools, while keeping them public and accessible to all, and making them better able to meet standards of achievement and equity. Using public funds, local school boards would select private providers to operate individual schools under formal contracts specifying the type and quality of instruction. In a hands-on, concrete fashion, the authors provide a thorough explanation of the pros and cons of school contracting and how it would work in practice. They show how contracting would free local school boards from operating schools so they can focus on improving educational policy; how it would allow parents to choose the best school for their children; and, finally, how it would ensure that schools are held accountable and academic standards are met. While retaining a strong public role in education, contracting enables schools to be more imaginative, adaptable, and suited to the needs of children and families. In presenting an alternative vision for America's schools, Reinventing Public Education is too important to be ignored. 410 0$aRAND research study. 606 $aPerformance contracts in education$zUnited States 606 $aEducational change$zUnited States 606 $aEducational accountability$zUnited States 606 $aPrivatization in education$zUnited States 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPerformance contracts in education 615 0$aEducational change 615 0$aEducational accountability 615 0$aPrivatization in education 676 $a379.1/1 700 $aHill$b Paul T$g(Paul Thomas),$f1943-$0111043 701 $aPierce$b Lawrence C$0929342 701 $aGuthrie$b James W$0929343 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454062303321 996 $aReinventing public education$92088722 997 $aUNINA LEADER 01187nam0 22003011i 450 001 UON00495410 005 20231205105351.13 010 $a84-211-2016-6 100 $a20190606d1976 |0itac50 ba 101 $aspa 102 $aES 105 $a|||| ||||| 200 1 $aAl-Andalus$eestructura antropológica de una sociedad islámica en Occidente$fPierre Guichard 210 $aBarcelona$cBarral$d1976 215 $a616 p.$cill.$d24 cm. 316 $aDono Prof. Alberto Varvaro.$5IT-UONSI F.
