Public Impact and EdPlex have released a new website, process guide, and set of resources for charter school authorizers to support school restarts. Restarts occur when an underperforming school is closed and a new school with new management opens to serve the same students. The restart strategy differs from other major interventions, such as transformation (replace school leader, implement research-based strategies), turnaround (replace school leader and at least 50 percent of staff, implement new instructional model), and school closure. According to the authors of the guide, restarts are the more effective strategy: closures negatively affect student attendance and achievement, while preliminary research shows better student outcomes in restarts than transformations or turnarounds. A key issue with turnarounds is finding great school leaders and teachers. Done well, restarts can mean rapid improvement for low-performing schools (we acknowledge, however, that some believe that a core part of the charter model is simply closing failing schools, period).
The resources and process guide in particular are meant to increase the likelihood of restart success and sustainability by providing authorizers with a practical "how-to" for getting the job done. The guide consists of nine steps, from the planning stage through post-opening, that include community engagement, recruiting,...
In April, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) released a report examining recent trends in the racial and socioeconomic composition of America's public schools. Between the 2000–01 and 2013–14 school years, the study finds, the fraction of U.S. schools that were both high-poverty (75 percent or more eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, or FRPL) and high-minority (75 percent or more African American or Hispanic students) rose from 9 to 16 percent.
While the GAO analysts caution that their analyses "should not be used to make conclusions about the presence or absence of unlawful discrimination," to headline writers at the Washington Post, USA Today, and the Los Angeles Times, the findings suggest "resegregation" in American schools. The Post editorial board declared a "resurgence of resegregation." But is this a fair interpretation?
There are at least two problems with drawing such a conclusion. The first is that the GAO analysis doesn't take into account overall demographic trends. During this time period, student demographics were changing in America. As a share of the national student population, Hispanic students increased from 16 percent to 25 percent from 2000 to 2014 (though African American pupils remained virtually unchanged as a fraction of the population). Due to the increase in...
In a series of recent posts, I've been examining what we reformers (and our friends in philanthropy) might do to spur better outcomes for kids besides obsessing over laws and regulations. I've looked at the promise of building new systems through charters or ESAs, as well as "disruptive innovations" that target students directly. Let me continue in that vein by looking at efforts to go around "the system" and put useful tools directly into the hands of parents and teachers.
Power to the parents
A major theme in education reform has always been the imperative to give real authority to the consumers—and, inevitably, take some of it from the providers. Standards, testing, and accountability have been pitched in part as mechanisms to get objective information to parents (and taxpayers) unfiltered by the spin of local administrators and elected officials. School choice, too, is all about vesting parents with a real say in the education of their children.
What else might be done to empower and inform parents? One of the most impressive creations of the reform era is GreatSchools.org. By providing clear, understandable information that is accessed by somewhere between one-third and one-half of the nation's parents in any given year, GreatSchools has arguably...
This is the fourth in a series of essays marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of America's first charter school law. These commentaries are informed and inspired by our forthcoming book (co-authored with Bruno V. Manno), Charter Schools at the Crossroads: Predicaments, Paradoxes, Possibilities, to be published this fall by Harvard Education Press. Read the other essays here, here, here, and here.
Our first essay paid homage to chartering's origins, a prominent strand of which was the mounting awareness that K–12 education's "one best system" was not meeting the educational needs of every child. One response, via the policy mechanism that became known as "chartering," was to create a lightly regulated marketplace of diverse and generally autonomous schools that would strive to ensure high-quality education for all children—especially boys and girls in poverty—and empower families to determine what school best suits their singular needs. That was the theory, and a noble one it was. If only it had worked as well as its architects hoped.
In general, the charter marketplace—where it's had the freedom and capacity to grow in response to demand—has done pretty well at responding to families' non-educational priorities, such as safety, convenience, and a welcoming atmosphere....
Students at the Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology produce the highest SAT and ACT scores in the nation. All of the students take at least one Advanced Placement exam, with 97 percent of them scoring well enough to receive college credit. But those high scores don't come without intellectual cost. In taking preparatory courses for the SAT and ACT, or in preparing for the myriad AP and state tests, students often default to formulaic writing. In doing so, there is an inevitable closing of the mind; the traditional essay becomes the only acceptable mode of response, and oversimplified, superficial, and binary answers are the result.
The good news is that creative writing and standardized testing are not mutually exclusive. By encouraging students to consider multiple genre possibilities in responding to writing prompts, teachers can lead students toward more complex and creative thinking.
An early autumn harvest of five-paragraph nonfiction
In September, our English department gave each eleventh-grade student in the school sixty minutes to respond to the following Virginia End-of-Course (EOC) Writing Test prompt: "Thomas Jefferson wrote, 'Determine never to be idle….It is wonderful how much may be done if we are always doing.' Do we accomplish...
A high school diploma is a critical marker in the transition to adulthood that affects labor participation, social mobility, and opportunities for success. The good news is that high school graduation rates reached an all-time high of 82 percent in spring 2014. The overall graduation rate for charter public schools, however, fell short of that number by ten points. We know that charter schools have unique characteristics that occasionally don't hold up well under cursory examination, and when we take a closer look, we find that there is actually a lot of good news about charter school high school graduation rates.
In 2010, America's Promise launched the GradNation campaign in an effort to raise the percentage of high school students who graduate with a regular high school diploma in four years to more than 90 percent. As part of their campaign, the group publishes an annual report, Building a Grad Nation: Progress and Challenge in Ending the High School Dropout Epidemic, focusing both on schools that have reached that 90 percent threshold and those that graduate 67 percent or fewer of their students on time (once referred to as "dropout factories"). We analyzed the same data to examine these two thresholds for...
Editor's note: This article was first published on April 23, 2015. It was updated on June 7, 2016, when Hillary Clinton became the Democratic Party's presumptive nominee for the 2016 presidential election.
Hillary Clinton is America's first woman to be a presidential nominee for a major political party. In November, she and Tim Kaine will take on the Republican Party's Donald Trump and Mike Pence and the Libertarian Party's Gary Johnson and William Weld. Clinton has been a public figure since 1979, when she became the First Lady of Arkansas, so she has said much about education over the last thirty-seven years. Here are some of her more recent views:
1. Common Core: "Well, I have always supported national standards. I've always believed that we need to have some basis on which to determine whether we're making progress, vis-à-vis other countries who all have national standards. And I've also been involved in the past, not recently, in promoting such an approach and I know Common Core started out as a, actually non-partisan, not bi-partisan, a non-partisan effort that was endorsed very much across the political spectrum…What went wrong? I think the roll-out was disastrous…Remember a lot of states...
William Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts, is the Libertarian Party's vice presidential candidate, running alongside Gary Johnson. The duo will face off in November against Republican Party's Donald Trump and Mike Pence and Democratic Party's Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine. Here are some of Weld's views on education.
As Flypaper readers know all too well, newly arrived Education Secretary John B. King, Jr., is in hot water with Congress, state governors, and various school reformers. The Department of Education is moving forward with rules that would turn the Every Student Succeeds Act's "supplement not supplant" provision into a cudgel to force states to equalize school spending.
In a statement released last month, King made matters worse by trying to justify the department's overreach as keeping with the legislation's history—going back to the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965—as a civil-rights measure:
Six decades after Brown v. Board, we have failed to close opportunity and achievement gaps for our African-American and Latino students at every level of education. And in far too many schools, we continue to offer them less—less access to the best teachers and the most challenging courses; less access to the services and supports that affluent students often take for granted; and less access to what it takes to succeed academically.
So we have urgent work to do as a country to truly provide equitable educational opportunities for all students. But we believe we stand better positioned to move...
This is the third in a series of essays marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of America's first charter school law. These commentaries are informed and inspired by our forthcoming book (co-authored with Bruno V. Manno), Charter Schools at the Crossroads: Predicaments, Paradoxes, Possibilities, to be published in this fall by Harvard Education Press. Read the others here, here, here, here.
As noted in our first essay, chartering evolved from many theories, responded to many needs, sought to solve many problems, and embodied many hopes. These diverse tributaries flooded the charter stream with an abundance of different life forms. Yet one species has emerged at the top of the food chain, and its prominence has brought some risk to the ecosystem.
Charter schools today primarily serve poor and minority children, the kids who typically fare worst in big district school systems. Many state charter laws give priority to schools focused on at-risk students. Some states confine chartering to urban areas. And disadvantaged families typically enjoy fewer excellent school options, so they are more apt to choose charters when possible.
The "no-excuses" model has emerged as the most effective strategy for giving these kids a fresh lease...

Bolivia Now Officially Less Third-World Than We Are
Two weeks ago, WikiLeaks revealed that U.S. diplomats believe Bolivian President Evo Morales has a sinus tumor. If true, our only question is: Where do we get one of those for our political leaders?
Tumor or no, Morales is making more sense than usual. Last Friday, the man who once said chicken makes people gay and bald signed a law reducing the retirement age for Bolivians, just as most countries around the world -- including the U.S. -- are considering doing the opposite.
The bill also nationalizes the pension system and extends coverage to poor Bolivians who work in the country's large informal economy.
Other changes:
- Mothers of three or more children can retire at 55
- Some miners can retire as early as 51
- The general retirement age for men and women will be 58

Morales, an avid socialist, has nationalized natural gas, telephone, and electrical companies in the past, redistributing much of the proceeds to poor, indigenous Bolivians. Those policies have led to fierce confrontations with wealthy landowners in the resource-rich Media Luna (Half Moon) region in the east of Bolivia. The country remains one of the poorest in the western hemisphere.
If only Rick Scott similarly contracted a charitable streak upon taking office. Then again, cyborgs don't get tumors, do they?

"I Am Dragon keeps it real with their DIY attitude; from their handmade CD packaging (which have a handwritten number on each copy – mine is 63/100), to their individual shout-outs from the stage to their supportive fans, they know how to keep an audience. Their garage-rock sound and attitude make you want to have a beer with them after headbanging to their set. This mighty band has proved time and time again they're a force to be reckoned with – with their driving sound that ranges from alternative rock, punk, to verging on hard rock, as well as their thought-provoking lyrics that will stick in your brain and make you sing along."

Steam train chugs into Mackay
After 48 years working with trains no doubt Kenny McAnder has heard all the noises a train can make.

Choo choo choo... After 48 years working with trains no doubt Kenny McAnder has heard all the noises a train can make.
It's the steam train though where most the fun is had and right now Mr McAnder is the supervisor for the Q150 steam train heading up the Queensland coast celebrating 150 years of Queensland sovereignty.
As Mr McAnder watches on from the Mackay terminal he can see the old steam train, long past its prime but looking as good as ever, he says despite the work involved the old train is a dream to drive.
"It's challenging, it makes you think instead of sitting there with a diesel which does all the work.
"There's no electronics involved it's all manual labour... not just electronics where you just push a button or move a lever," he says.
So why did we ever get rid of the old steam train?
"The electric trains are a lot cleaner they're a lot quicker, they move a lot more people.
"They also had to have regular maintenance to keep it going, with the electric (train) you can keep on going all day," says Mr McAnder.
The steam train nowadays is left for ceremonious rides through the country side but MrAnder says people are thrilled when they're aboard.
"They love it, they go back and a lot of old stories come out of different people.
"A lot of the old drivers that used to be around the place and you hear them say 'I drove this or I remember this loco or some other loco," he says.
After decades in the rail industry Mr McAnder can still do some reminiscing of his own.
"Yeah there's been a lot of changes in the whole 48 years, there's not as many people involved with it as there were before.
"You had your steamers, there was always a three man crew - a driver, a fireman and a guard, then you had all your fitters and labourers that looked after them.
"Slowly as the need decreased the men decreased also and they took other jobs," says Mr McAnder.
If you want to hear the choo choo choo grab a look the Q150 steam train timetable here as it makes its way up the up the Queensland coast.

Big Nate has hit his middle-school max. At home, at school, everywhere he goes he is beset by people who torment him in one way or another. In this trade paperback original, our emphatically opinionated anti-hero hero vents on all things wrong in his life.

Big Nate. He thinks big. He talks big. He acts big. And the Big Nate: I Can't Take It, featuring our mischievous middle-school hero, is big fun.
Life can be stressful for Nate Wright. At school, Mrs. Godfrey makes every day a nightmare. At home, he's stuck between Ellen, his incredibly annoying older sister, and Dad, perhaps the most clueless parent of all time. And don't get him started on Gina, the ultimate teacher's pet, or Artur, the unassuming exchange student who bests him at every turn. It's enough to make even a can-do kid like Nate scream: "I CAN'T TAKE IT!"

This sounds like the best Big Nate book yet I'm so excited to read it!
Big Nate I can't take it! I think the book was ok. So at first I thought it was one story and when I got to the third page it went to a different story and did not finish the topic.The main character is big nate he is a clumsy boy.I thought it was a long story like a boy at school and was a hard working boy that did everyone's homework and did not want to do there homework.
Big Nate When I first got the book I thought the book would be different. I thought the book would be about him being mad because he it's called Nate can't take it anymore but it was really funny and I think it was really funny. The book was funny and it had lots of funny jokes. I enjoyed it a lot and I will continue reading the other books. The main character was named Named it also had his dad, his friend Artur, his annoying older sister Ellen, and his evil teacher Mrs. Godfrey. The setting is mostly outside where he plays football and inside his school. This is a comic book and I usually don't like comics but I love this one. I liked this book because it was funny and I had a lot of things I could relate to. I recommend it to people who want to read a funny book. If I had to I would rate it a 4 out of 5. Life can be stressful beetween all these people and annoying teachers Nate can't take it anymore.
Nice book but short
I cant buy it but its good
come on Peirce i no u can do better ithe book wasint so good try agen next time, Peirce, got tat?
This big nate was horible it w as very misleading
Bingo was his name oh
Awesome peeeee

Over the years, the job description and public perception of flight attendant staff on commercial airlines has changed enormously. A role once filled only by women who needed to be registered nurses aged 25 or younger, the "sky girls" of yesteryear have certainly taken on a new role. Today's flight attendants are responsible for, among many tasks, passenger comfort and safety. And, during intense moments of rescue or inappropriateness, the amount of scrutiny or media coverage that is generated can make them instant household names.
After some very publicized moments of heroism, outrageous behavior and scandal, the visibility of flight attendants and cabin crew has certainly increased. We'd like to salute some of the most memorable flight attendants from commercial airlines. Whether hard working, pioneering, fed up or courageous, these names should sound familiar. We welcome them to the Flight Attendant Hall of Fame.

Maurice Jarre
13 September 1924, Lyons, France. An important composer for films for over 40 years, as a youngster Jarre intended to become an electrical engineer, but changed his mind and studied music at the Paris Conservatoire in 1944. He joined the orchestra of the Jean Louise Barrault Theatre, and in 1951, composed the music for KleistsLe Prince De Homburg. Soon afterwards he moved into films, and during the 50s, wrote the scores for such French productions as Hotel Des Invalides, Le Grand Silence, Le Tetre Contre Les Murs and Les Yeux Sans Visage (Eyes Without A Face). During the early 60s, he began to score the occasional non-Gallic movie, such as Crack In The Mirror, starring Orson Welles, The Big Gamble and the last great epic of World War II, The Longest Day (1962). In the same year, Jarre won his first Academy Award for his memorable score for Lawrence Of Arabia, and was honoured again, three years later, for his music to Doctor Zhivago, featuring the...

VHP prepares for yatra in Moradabad; Sec 144 imposed, Sadhvi Prachi detained
Zee Media Buerau
Moradabad: BJP leader Sadhvi Prachi, who was on her way to Moradabad to take part in Vishwa Hindutva Parishad`s proposed 'Jalabhishek march' was detained in Bijnor on Friday.
Her detention is part of UP government`s efforts to prevent any law and order situation in view of the VHP yatra, BJP`s protest and Congress` 'peace march' in Kanth area of Moradabad tomorrow.
As a precautionary measure, Section 144 has already been imposed in the area.
Prachi, who had contested the 2012 Assembly elections on BJP ticket, was among around 40 persons accused of inciting Muzaffarnagar riots through their provocative speeches.
At the epicentre of the trouble in Moradabad is a temple in Muslim dominated Akbarpur village belonging to the Jatav community. Trouble started last month after a section of villagers protested against installation of a loudspeaker in the temple.
The protesters eventually ensured that the loudspeaker was taken down by the district administration.
The Jatavs protested the move and and alleged discrimination. They also claimed that the temple had a loudspeaker for the last 15 years, they only got a new one installed as replacement in June.
The VHP has demanded re-installation of loudspeakers and wants to hold to perform puja at the temple.

In very rare cases and as a last resort, neurosurgery can be performed on people who don't respond to medications or to behavioral therapy. Such procedures aim to sever some of the brain circuitry from the basal ganglia, which is thought to influence repetitive, ritual behavior. Only a few medical centers perform this procedure, and it's too early to know the long-term outcomes.

47 reviews | 4.5 out of 5
This is a beautiful, sturdy table. To my pleasant surprise, it came with all the parts. Well-packed so received in perfect condition. The Mission chairs with oak seats is a near match to cherry table top.
Table looks just like photo. Easy to do the little bit of assembly. Sturdy. Wanted a round table with these dimensions. Perfect for playing cards too because some tables are too large and when putting card in center unless you have very long arms you have to lean forward to get cards. This is perfect to seat 6, 7 or even 8 people when playing cards. Love the folding leaves option. I did not purchase chairs for table. I fortunately picked up 4 good chairs left on curb. Plan to either paint black to match support or stain to match table top. Still deciding on that. Perfect table for me.
I was somewhat hesitant about purchasing this table as I wanted a small solid wood table in black and cherry. I have been extremely pleased so far. I have had this table for a month. The quality is great, the finish is beautiful and this same table is priced higher at some other retailers. It was easy to assemble and looks really really good.
I purchased this table on the strength of positive reviews I read on this site, and I was NOT disappointed. For the price, this table is lovely and does not look cheap at all. The drop-leaves are actually quite sturdy. Assembly was relatively simple.
This is a nice kitchen table. It looks just like the picture. I would recommend this table.
I purchased this table for my kitchen primarily because it had the drop sides and I could lower them and have more space. I was very pleased with the quality of the product. I am a 59 year old grandmother and put this table together by myself in about an hour. When my husband got home, I had to get him to tighten the legs because the tool provided did not tighten them secure enough. Other than that, the table is perfect for what I wanted and is very beautiful in my kitchen!
After looking for over a year for a table to fit in our kitchen we finally found this table on walmart.com. We read all the reviews and decided to give it a try. We love it! It looks great and matches well with our kitchen. I am very happy we took a chance on this table. Who knew?
Easy to put together. Table top (Cherry) was lighter in person than the view on the website.
I bought this table months ago, and I just got around to putting it together. It's perfect for a small space and exceptionally sturdy considering the price I paid for it. Adds a nice touch to a small dining area in a small apartment.
This is a great table. I was looking for something small, attractive, and versatile. This table really fit the bill. The sides easily go up and down and are very stable. They hold my weight very well. Good buy.
We needed a table for a small eating area and this table gives us many options. It was packed very well and arrived without a scratch. It was easy to assemble and the quality was better than expected. The drop leaves are very secure with no wobble when placed in the upright position. We are pleased with this purchase.
Well constructed, easy to assemble, sturdy; just a nice piece of furniture
the table is nice and light weight with a descent wood patern
looks worth a lot more than it cost!
Table is solid!
Finish is good, easy assembly, worth the money
Bought this table because we recently moved to an apartment that did not have a dining room. We needed a new table that would fit in our small kitchen.. This was perfect. Seems really good quality and matched our current chairs that we had for our dining room table. Color seems a little lighter then how it showed on my computer. All in all a great little table for a pretty descent price.
I have to say I was impressed when it was assembled & in my kitchen. Looks rich, and worth a lot more than I paid for it.
Assembly was pretty easy, although I used my own tools instead of the allen wrench & small wrench provided.
I love it & it's perfect for a kitchen area.
It came packed very well and was easy to assemble. Very sturdy, the black and cherry finishes look really nice together. Matched perfectly with some black chairs I already had. Great value.
This table is perfect in my recently remodeled kitchen. Although some reviewers say it's lighter than the online pix, mine is very close. I'd call it a medium cherry, lighter than my new cabinets (Kraftmaid Hayward Cherry, Cinnamon finish), but blending very well. The black base is an elegant blend with the dark bronze cabinet hardware and the black leather seats on my bar stools.
It was hard to find a table big enough for 4-5 people, but easily reduced to a small size for 1-2 people most of the time. Its round shape makes it easy to walk past it on the way to the sliding door and BBQ. When necessary we can put 1 leaf down & butt it up to the island to create even more walk-through space. It's super-easy to move!
I chose this over more expensive tables in the stores, because of its solid wood top (easy to wipe off with damp rag), and the over-all blend with my cabinets and light wood laminate floors. I'm elated that it's more elegant than expected, and each day I find some new way to enjoy its versatility.
When we first opened the box, I saw a nick in the edge of one drop-leaf. For a few moments, I considered returning it, but then touched it up to my satisfaction with the cover-up stick that came with my new cabinets. Those things happen over time anyway, so I haven't even noticed or thought about it again until this moment, as I write this review.
All-in-all, a great purchase and excellent value.

Christchurch company Pocock design:environment has been chosen to design the upgrade of Invercargill's CBD.
The Invercargill City Council announced the Inner City Working Group's decision yesterday.
Pocock will be employed to produce a design plan for the CBD including concept art.
It was one of three companies which presented to the working group on November 5, and was unanimously chosen.
The council has set aside $130,000 for the work.
Pocock has worked on designs for the redevelopment of South City for the South Alive group, which has also been funded by the council.
Company director Craig Pocock said he was excited by the opportunity. A consultation plan had not been finalised, but he expected to work with every sector of the wider Invercargill community, not just CBD business interests.
"Our proposal was all about consultation, creating a process which allows lots of different people to express how they see the CBD. There will be some pretty solid consultation, but we have to talk through the details."
He wanted the consultation process finalised by Christmas.
The CBD did not need a total overhaul, but there were areas which could be improved, he said.
Better links between the CBD, Queen's Park and the Otepuni Gardens, which he called the city's "green frame", were a possibility.
Wachner Place also needed to be addressed. Mr Pocock said some people felt comfortable there but many did not.
"Whether it's a total makeover or some editing, we have to talk to the community about that."
"The CBD is for many, many people. It's for local retailers and local residents [and] it is also for tourists passing through to the Catlins or Stewart Island . . . we want the CBD to capture those guys as well."
Council director of works and services Cameron McIntosh said Pocock would be expected to meet targets set by the working group and to remain in budget.
"We are expecting to see Pocock back here quite soon to work out the detail," he said.
None of the three final bidders - Queenstown-based Baxter Design Group, CCM Architects Ltd from Wellington and Pocock - were based in Invercargill.
Mr McIntosh said they were expected to work with local companies on their designs.
That Pocock had also worked on the South City designs was not a factor in the decision, he said.
