Esports Research and Its Integration in Educ The world of esports in education is booming, and In Stock. This weekly recap focuses on how early mistakes led to America's failure in Afghanistan, the potential effects of critical race theory bans, an art installation that breaks down RAND data on income inequality, and more. Corequisite remediation for non—college-ready students provides early opportunities to earn credit, more-intensive instruction, greater rigor, greater alignment, and increased opportunities to learn from peers.
In this report, researchers use data from a randomized control trial at five community colleges in Texas to examine contrasts in student experiences between corequisite remediation and standalone developmental education courses. We investigate how leaders support their interpretations of problems and proposed solutions during closed-door negotiations around three policy decisions, and how they invoke race, class, and language in the process.
New Jersey's Tuition Aid Grant—the nation's most generous state-funded grant program per state resident college student—increased the rate of on-time bachelor's degree completion at public universities for low-income students who received it.
RAND researchers studied more than , recipients of New Jersey's Tuition Aid Grant to explore whether larger amounts of grant aid led to higher graduation rates for students at varying income levels and types of institutions.
We analyze the effect of large-scale, high-stakes performance funding programs in Ohio and Tennessee. Using a difference-in-differences identification strategy along with a synthetic control approach, we find no evidence that these programs improve key academic outcomes.
The authors examine the implementation of two newly expanded Delaware weighted education funding programs, the Opportunity Fund and Student Success Block Grant, and emerging best practices, as reported by local education agency leaders.
The authors examine how seven states are using state-level policy levers to improve the quality of school principals. Researchers at RAND Europe explore how different policies can support learning at every stage of life, helping organizations and policymakers develop more effective education practices that are inclusive and equitable for all.
The author of this brief analyzes the policy design, implementation, and outcomes of the Wisconsin Grant program. This grant and other state programs face similar challenges using need-based grant aid to promote college attainment for low-income residents. This report examines the provision of career guidance in schools and colleges in the Cambridgeshire and Peterborough region.
This research brief summarizes study findings of a school leadership program and offers three recommendations for school districts and school leadership training programs to consider as they strive to improve instructional leadership effectiveness. Featured Education policy includes laws as well as processes and policies that educational organizations, local districts, states, and nations put in place and follow to achieve academic goals.

There was also great inequity as to who was educated. Generally girls were educated at home, and few students from poor families, American Indians, or African Americans were educated formally, except by Quakers who established charity schools to serve these groups.
Thomas Jefferson viewed educating the common man as important for promoting and preserving the democratic ideal; in order to preserve their liberty, citizens needed not just reading and arithmetic to manage their affairs, but also an understanding of history to understand their rights and duties. Benjamin Rush, a prominent doctor and founding father, called for public schools in Pennsylvania , and even a national system of education.
Many opposed this plan because they did not want to pay for it through higher taxes. He argued that all would benefit because education would lead to less crime and degeneracy. Nevertheless, there were still few completely publicly funded schools, and nothing approaching a standard curriculum or unified theory of education. Early schooling involved primarily learning to read for religious purposes, and learning some rudimentary arithmetic.
This was a speller that emphasized patriotic and moral values of the newly independent colonies while teaching grammar and spelling. In the s Massachusetts and then Connecticut passed laws requiring every town to choose a school committee to organize public schools into a unified system. He introduced age-grading, and also set up "normal schools" to train teachers. He argued for free public schooling as the best way to civilize children both morally and socially.
In response to the great wave of Roman Catholic immigration beginning in the s, public schooling was seen as a way of integrating children of immigrants, and counteracting the presumed bad influence of immigrant parents. Critics of the movement included Catholics who complained of religious bias, taxpayers who did not want to pay for public schools for someone else's children, and those who saw government control as trampling individual liberty and parental rights.
Despite these objections reformers succeeded during the second half of the century in getting all states to set up systems of common schools. Local schools boards, school districts and teachers' associations came into existence. The Southern states lagged behind the North, and it was not until after the Civil War that they set up legally mandated schools, which were racially segregated. By the majority of children aged were enrolled in government elementary schools. As the power of the educational establishment expanded, there was a sense among some reformers, bureaucrats, politicians and teachers, that parents were "unfit guardians" and children must be "forced into school," according to one Massachusetts Teacher article written in The Wisconsin Teacher Association in was not alone in declaring that "children are the property of the state.
Although the public schools were officially non-sectarian the inherited Protestant bent to the teaching prompted Catholics and Lutherans to set up a parallel system of parochial schools to preserve their religion and culture.
Opposition to parochial schools led to the so-called " Blaine amendments ," which prohibited the use of public funds for parochial schools. Although the original amendment proposed in ultimately was not passed by Congress, such amendments were adopted by many states and still affect school choice policy today.
In addition to expanded state control of schools, the federal government began to play a role. In Congress passed the first Morrill Act which granted land to set up colleges in agricultural and mechanical arts. The original Department of Education was created in to help the states establish effective school systems by collecting information on schools and teaching.
The Second Morrill Act in made the federal Office of Education responsible for administering support to land-grant colleges and universities. By the end of WWI in , roughly two-thirds of children were enrolled in government schools, and all states had compulsory attendance laws.
Oregon amended its Compulsory Education Act, making it illegal for students to attend non-government run schools, but this was overturned by the U. Supreme Court in in the case of Pierce v. Society of Sisters. The reforms of the early 20th century focused mainly on expanding secondary schools, and has been called by some the "high school movement" or second transformation of American education.
It concentrated on increasing graduation rates by diversifying the academic programs to include not only traditional foundational subjects, but also vocational training. In the Smith-Hughes Act and the George-Barden Act focused federal involvement on agricultural, industrial and home economics training for high school students.
They advocated for consolidation of schools and districts, more centralized administration, increased spending and expanded school services. In the cities they drastically reduced the number of board members and delegated decision-making to experts, including superintendents and central staff. In the countryside, smaller school districts were consolidated into large districts, drastically reducing the influence of local schools boards and lay people and increasing the power of administrators.
These administrative progressives believed the federal education department should lead the states in reorganization and regulation.
