Population loss and high unemployment rates, coupled with a decline in high-paying manufacturing jobs and an increase in low-wage food and hotel service jobs generated severe economic inequality in the city that exacerbated the situation created by Katrina. keywords: city; jobs; katrina; looting cache: WOS-000275871700004.txt plain text: WOS-000275871700004.txt item: #201 of 499 id: WOS-000277566100004 author: Paris, D title: oThe Second Language of the United Stateso: Youth Perspectives on Spanish in a Changing Multiethnic Community date: 2010 words: 152 flesch: 35 summary: I also show how African American and Pacific Islander youth desired access to Spanish and used words and phrases in important ways with their Latino/a peers.

Jewell's study analyses these cases to explore social reproduction as a link between race and class as social structures. keywords: access; class; racial; social cache: WOS-000330684900002.txt plain text: WOS-000330684900002.txt item: #237 of 499 id: WOS-000331216200005 author: Dimartino, C title: Navigating Public-Private Partnerships: Introducing the Continuum of Control date: 2014 words: 134 flesch: 38 summary: In many urban districts, the public education landscape is being transformed as private-sector providers such as educational management organizations, charter management organizations, and partner support organizations partner with or run district schools. Such a continuum captures the variety of providers in the field examining different attributes that can contribute to the likely success or failure of a partnership. keywords: organizations; private; providers cache: WOS-000331216200005.txt plain text: WOS-000331216200005.txt item: #238 of 499 id: WOS-000333323500003 author: DeBray, E title: Intermediary Organizations in Charter School Policy Coalitions Evidence From New Orleans date: 2014 words: 203 flesch: 23 summary: Drawing on interview data and documents from New Orleans about the charter school reforms that have developed there since 2005, the authors examine (a) the role of intermediaries in producing information and research syntheses for local, state, and/or federal policymakers; (b) the extent of policymakers' demand for such research and information; and (c) the extent to which local and national coalitions of organizations appear to be influential in research use.

A Lacanian entanglement with political ideology in education date: 2015 words: 157 flesch: -23 summary: This paper explores the possibilities for critical policy analysis afforded by Lacanian discourse theory, with its emphasis on the unconscious and the agency of the letter, and considers its significance for critical policy analysis in education, in ways that complement and supplement the insights of post-structuralist discourse theory. To explore these possibilities, the paper examines the fantasies residing in neoliberal education policy's vision of the knowledge economy, before focusing on a Lacanian analysis of the ideologies of knowledge and power manifested in the US KIPP (Knowledge is Power) charter school network, in order to think about how neoliberalism's obsession with knowledge as control and mastery might be unsettled by what Lacan called 'the sublimity of stupidity' - by engagement with a psychoanalytic epistemology that recognizes how conscious knowledge may be interrupted by the unknowing of the unconscious and that places neoliberal regimes of knowledge in a dialectical relationship with non-knowledge, ignorance, stupidity and desire. keywords: analysis; knowledge; policy cache: WOS-000349027100006.txt plain text: WOS-000349027100006.txt item: #256 of 499 id: WOS-000349122500006 author: Au, W title: Sponsors of Policy: A Network Analysis of Wealthy Elites, Their Affiliated Philanthropies, and Charter School Reform in Washington State date: 2014 words: 322 flesch: 15 summary: As of 2012, all but nine U.

The administration's aggressive efforts on school reform, however, eventually led to a political backlash against those same reforms and federal involvement in education more generally and resulted in an ESEA reauthorization (the 2015 Every Student Succeeds Act) that rolls back the federal role in K-12 schooling in important ways. keywords: act; administration; education; obama cache: WOS-000381272300008.txt plain text: WOS-000381272300008.txt item: #290 of 499 id: WOS-000381366600002 author: Ford, MR title: COMPARING NONPROFIT CHARTER AND TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER PERCEPTIONS OF THE PUBLIC, CONFLICT, AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY Is there a difference and does it matter? date: 2016 words: 100 flesch: 32 summary: In this paper, survey data collected from nonprofit charter school board and elected public school board members in Minnesota is used to test three hypotheses relating to theories of New Public Management, democratic governance, and small group dynamics.
