Niederjohn, M. Scott; Schug, Mark C.; Wood, William C. – Social Education, 2014
"One who rides a tiger is afraid to dismount," says a colorful proverb from an earlier time. This may be an apt saying for the situation facing the new head of the Federal Reserve, Janet L. Yellen, who takes over at a time when successive rounds of Fed policy have taken the central bank into uncharted territory. By historical standards,…

McHenry-Sorber, Erin; Campbell, Matthew P. – Education Policy Analysis Archives, 2019
While the teacher shortage is a national crisis, the manifestations of the shortage are felt most acutely at the local district level.

District leaders provide an important lens for understanding the localized…

Rush-Marlowe, Rachel – Association of Community College Trustees, 2021
Community colleges across the country are plagued with tight budgets--caused in part by state disinvestment and chronic federal underfunding. For rural community colleges, these challenges are even more acute, as their needs are greater and the costs of providing services higher. The COVID-19 pandemic has only deepened the prosperity gap between…

Carpentieri, J. D. – European Journal of Education, 2013
As literacy grows in importance, policymakers' demands for programme quality grow, too.

In the absence of robust evidence on the full range…

Borusiak, Liubov' – Russian Education and Society, 2013
A study of comments posted on the Internet shows that middle-class Russians are frustrated with the quality of education available to their children.

Tesar, Marek – Globalisation, Societies and Education, 2013
Government ideologies seek to produce ideal childhoods within their political and ideological frameworks. Using the analysis of a children's magazine in kindergartens in socialist Czechoslovakia in the 1970s and 1980s, this paper argues that children's literature produces political and ideologically charged childhood subjectivities. Tensions…
