    A policy area in the middle of these cross-currents is elementary and secondary education – a subject traditionally under local control, with some oversight by the states. However, during the last four decades – especially since 2001 – the national government's role in education has grown significantly as a result of initiatives by Republican and Democratic administrations. Use the assigned resources to inform yourself about this role and the arguments of its supporters and critics.…

    The program is designed to provide a state-wide framework of quality curriculum, programs and practices. Under this program, schools are provided a great deal of flexibility to concentrate on their strengths and creativity to produce centrally determined learning outcomes. The key objectives of the Schools of the Future program are to ensure responsibility, authority, and accountability for the educational service delivery through the central control of Department of Education and the self-management at the local school level in a semi competitive market place (Audit…

    School System Shake Up Organizational Model Analysis

    In the article, School System Shake Up Organizational Model, the one thing that resonates with me is the increase and impact of charter schools. It is evident, parents want options especially if their child is slated to attend low performing schools. Large school districts need to be broken into smaller more manageable pieces. Not only are charter school on the rise there is an increase in state or government run schools which means the decisions are not made by local elected boards. The idea of giving principals and schools more power or control is a good idea, some district or central offices have become too big and lack connections to schools in their own district. I have heard of some of the changes that were discussed in the article…

    Overcoming Obstacles to Consolidate Schools

    With the education system in serious trouble, education is becoming a more and more important political issue in this country. It seems that in every election no matter how big or small, education is always an important issue. Presidents claim to be the “the education president.” Politicians often promise more educational programs and more funding for schools, but in unfortunate contrast to their promises, policymakers seem to view spending money on schools as an irritating cost rather than an important investment.…

    The Art and Science of Learning Organisation

    hange. Like it or not, it’s the predominant fact of our age. Patricia Fahey, lead trainer for the 1995 Head Start Phase III management training institute said, “Shift Happens!” None of us can prevent it. We can only deal with it. That institute drew heavily on the work of MIT’s Peter M. Senge of the Sloan School of Management and his 1994 book The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of The Learning Organization. Senge’s five key disciplines are 1) systems thinking, 2) achieving personal mastery, 3) shifting mental models, 4) building shared vision, and 5) team learning. Senge says that the five disciplines’ convergence creates new waves of experimentation and advancement—and, hopefully, “learning organizations” in which “people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire.” The training program focused on helping create or enhance agency environments that engage “systemsthinking,” challenge our self-limiting “mental models,” fosContinued on page 9…

    Organization and Bureaucracy in Schools

    The organization of schooling in the United States has been a topic of great controversy for many years. We compare ourselves to other nations weighing the pros and cons of alternative organization of education. We see the benefits of the centralized school system used in many developed European and Asian nations, but we are hesitant to move from the decentralized school system we currently have in fear that we will change elements in our system so that, "the cost of remedying the weaknesses of U.S. Education may be in the risk of undermining what have been historically regarded as it's greatest strengths" (Hurn, 1993, p.29). I will discuss the strong and weak components of a decentralized school system like that of the United States and its differences from a centralized school system. Furthermore, we evaluate the diversity in education within or own nation. Our schools as organizations are bureaucracies. Bureaucratization of American schooling began in the nineteenth century (Ballantine, 1993, p. 159). Although Bureaucracy can be described as "a rational, efficient way of completing tasks and rewarding individuals based on their contributions" (Ballantine, 1993, p.154), Bureaucracy has its weaknesses. Urban Schools are suffering under this organization of schooling, and "sick bureaucracy" (Ballantine, 1993, p. 161) is emerging. The hierarchy and rules and regulations of a bureaucracy are often mistaken as the same idea of centralization. However, centralization is only one component of a bureaucracy that may or may not be present within the organization. It is the great diversity in our schools that perpetuate the grand debate about schooling and education as a bureaucracy in the United States.…

    The Evoling Role of Government in Education

    The time has come for everyone to take a role in planning, supporting and inspiring education. The role of the state and federal government in the United State is that the federal government, the state and the churches play a great role in education. The government has many roles in education. Education is primarily a state and local responsibility in the United States (.U.S. department of Education, Ed.gov). The government encourages adults to get their full learning and works with others departments to develop school infrastructure and schools skills to meet the needs of growth areas. The government’s main aim in education is to raise standards in schools. The government wants parents to be able to choose a good school, matching what they want for their child and what a school offers. The government has expanded and encouraged schools and colleges to specialize in particular subjects, languages and technology. Education is paid for and administrated by government bodies. The government department faculties employ a wide range of teaching strategies and offer a variety of learning (Oppapers).…
