Extractions: Remember, it is critical that your project matches the funder's guidelines. You will waste both your time and the grant-maker's if you submit a proposal that does not match the grantor's funding initiatives. The SchoolGrants focus is primarily schools within the United States. There are, however, often opportunities available that extend to our Canadian neighbors. Most of such opportunities are found on the Nationwide Opportunities pages. If you know of opportunities that are not listed on the SchoolGrants site, we would appreciate you letting me know about them! It is the SchoolGrants goal to provide as many opportunities as possible to benefit our Nation's children and their schools. This is only possible with your help and assistance.
Gary Nash: Expert Opinion that wasnt the case in massachusetts when the historians walked away from involvement in k12 education more and more of the daily decisions about schools ? http://www.bostonreview.net/BR24.6/nash.html
Extractions: A response to Educating a Democracy , by Deborah Meier. Gary B. Nash I write this response to Deborah Meier’s indictment of the standards-based "reform movement" as someone who was deeply involved in constructing national standards in United States and world history and at the same time a critic of the California History Standards. While I agree mostly with Meier’s concern about what has happened in Massachusetts in the last few years, and almost entirely with her principles regarding education in a democracy, I believe she is much too categorical in her criticism of what is happening nationally in standards-based reforms. Particularly distressing is her disdain for the efforts of university-based scholars to involve themselves in K-12 education. Meier believes that standards-based education has led to standardization that has "shifted the locus of authority to outside bodies" and turned "teachers and parents into the local instruments of externally-imposed judgment." What has happened in Massachusetts gives her plenty of reasons for such a view. As Dan French, a leader of the state’s Department of Education has spelled out, a vigorous, forward-looking, and highly participatory attempt to create discipline-based standards was undermined by a sudden change in political leadership. When Governor William Weld put John Silber in the driver’s seat, he scuttled the work of thousands of teachers and parents and replaced their efforts with a rigid, prescriptive framework which has placed "innovative schools and teachers" (of the sort that Deborah Meier leads) "in the difficult position of having to modify their full curricula in order to align them with the new standards."
