2. Lessons from Wisconsin: The Slow, Stealthy, and Strategic Threat of School Vouchers.

Author

Peterson, Bob

Subjects
EDUCATIONAL vouchers, SCHOLARSHIPS, HOMOPHOBIA, RELIGIOUS education, EDUCATION savings accounts, COMING out (Sexual orientation), SEGREGATION in education, SEX discrimination
Abstract

The article discusses the growth and impact of school voucher programs in Wisconsin. These programs, also known as "school choice," use public tax dollars to pay for tuition at private, often religious, schools. Over the years, the restrictions on these programs have been gradually eliminated, allowing more private schools to receive public funding. The article highlights the potential negative consequences of voucher programs, including discrimination against LGBTQ+ students and the undermining of public education. It also explores the historical connection between voucher programs and white supremacy. The author argues for the improvement of public schools rather than the expansion of voucher programs.

3. The Birth of Rethinking Schools

Author

Peterson, Bob

Abstract

The author often says that Rethinking Schools began on his kitchen table with a can of rubber cement and an Apple IIe computer. But that's not exactly true. In some ways the publication started a year and half earlier in a study group of teachers and community activists who were struggling to figure out how to apply a generally progressive, left-leaning view of society to schools. In this article, the author tells the story of how Rethinking Schools started.

7. Rethinking Columbus: The Next 500 Years. Resources for Teaching about the Impact of the Arrival of Columbus in the Americas. 2nd Edition.

Author

Network of Educators on the Americas., Bigelow, Bill, Peterson, Bob, Bigelow, Bill, Peterson, Bob, and Network of Educators on the Americas.

Abstract

This revised edition offers an alternative narrative of the myth about the voyages of Christopher Columbus traditionally taught in schools. The hope is to encourage a deeper understanding of the European invasion's consequences, to honor the rich legacy of resistance to the injustices it created, to convey the appreciation for the diverse indigenous cultures of the hemisphere, and to reflect on what this all means for individuals today. The book features essays and interviews, poetry, analysis, and stories to present multiple perspectives on what the European exploration meant to the "New World." Following an introduction, the book is divided into nine chapters with essays, poems, newspaper articles, and a variety of materials for use in the classroom. Sections of the book include: (1) "Introduction"; (2) "Beginnings"; (3) "Elementary School Issues"; (4) "Rethinking Thanksgiving"; (5) "The Trial (The People vs. Columbus, et al.)"; (6) "The Tainos"; (7) "Secondary School Issues"; (8) "Contemporary Struggles"; (9) "Environmental Issues"; and (10) "Final Words." The volume concludes with a resources section containing books for young readers and adults, curriculum materials, videos, websites, and organizations. (EH)

10. A Librarian in Every School, Books in Every Home: A Modest Proposal

Author

Peterson, Bob

Abstract

This spring, the Milwaukee district announced major cuts to local school budgets for next year. At the 400-student elementary school where the author works, the projected cuts meant that, despite a modest increase in student enrollment, they had to cut an additional staff position. Given that in the past few years budget cuts had forced them to eliminate the music teacher, gym teacher, program implementor, half a secretarial position, and all of their regular classroom teaching assistants, they had little choice but to eliminate their librarian position. Similar cuts occurred throughout the Milwaukee schools, so it's likely that next year the nearly 100 elementary and K-8 schools in the district will have only five full-time librarians. In this article, elementary school students join a campaign to save school librarians. A community meeting, attended by 75 people--including librarians, parents, students, university faculty, and concerned community members--discussed an array of possible immediate, medium, and long-range actions. The most interesting proposal, from the author's point of view, was the idea that they should demand that the federal government--as part of its planned ESEA reauthorization--include funding for a full-time librarian in every public school with 200 children or more, plus outreach librarians in city and county library systems to work with religious and community organizations to increase the use of community libraries.

Abstract

How many times have we in the teacher union movement been told "It's not teacher union business"? TEACHER UNIONS AND SOCIAL JUSTICE AN INTERVIEW WITH ANGELO GAVRIELATOS Angelo Gavrielatos is the president of the New South Wales Teachers Union. It's important for teacher union leaders to recognize that the biggest and maybe the last barrier capable of stopping these privatizers' dreams is the teacher union movement - domestically and internationally. U.S. historian Howard Zinn once told me, "If teacher unions want to be strong and well supported, it's essential that they not only be teacher unionists but teachers of unionism.".

Abstract

A number of tax provisions have either expired in 2011 or are scheduled to expire at the end of this FY 2012. These include the Bush tax cuts, the alternative minimum tax (AMT) patch, the temporary payroll tax cut, and other temporary expiring provisions, many of which are commonly referred to as'tax extenders.'Aside from the payroll tax cut, which was extended by the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012, the most recent law extending many of these provisions was the Tax Relief, Unemployment Insurance Reauthorization and Job Creation Act of 2010. This book provides an overview of these expiring provisions with a focus on past cost and cost of extension and a brief discussion of the current debate concerning the policy.

Although learning can be defined in cognitive, affective, or behavioral terms, the specification of communication, planning, or evaluation skills in behavioral terms is most appropriate in management training. Learning objectives are most effectively reached in a closed rather than open loop learning design. In designs, the learner's reactions and capabilities must be considered. (CSS)
