Several of the pre-1965 voting cases brought by the Department of Justice and private parties were in Alabama. The events of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama, in 1965 served as a catalyst for the introduction and passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

    Alabama Education Policy Primer

    Alabama Education Policy Primer A Guide to Understanding K-12 Schools A Project of the A+ Education Foundation and the Peabody Center for Education Policy Kenneth K. Wong and James W. Guthrie, Executive Editors TTable of Contents Credits/Acknowledgements Introduction Kenneth K. Wong and James W. Guthrie Chapter 1: Accountability, Assessments, and Standards The key to sparking and sustaining improvements in education is alignment between rigorous standards that specify what students should know and be able to do, assess- ments that accurately measure student learning, and an accountability system that rewards progress and establishes consequences for schools that persistently fail to raise student achievement. This chapter explains the elements of Alabama’s courses of study, statewide assessment system, and statewide accountability system and how the three work in tandem to improve teaching and learning. Chapter 2: Achievement This chapter provides a quick reference for the assessments given in Alabama to measure student achievement at the international, national and state levels and where to find this data. The Appendix to this chapter is a report entitled “Education Watch: Alabama” written by The Education Trust, a Washington-D.C.-based advocacy group for poor and minority students. This report provides trend data for Alabama on several national assessments and performance indicators. Chapter 3: Closing the Achievement Gap Alabama, like other states in America, has documented achievement gaps between low-income and non-low-income students; African-American and white students; Hispanic and white students; and special education and general education students. However, research and practice show that all children, regardless of socioeconomic background, can learn at high levels when taught to high levels.
  • The State of Education in Alabama's K-12 Rural Public Schools

    The State of Education in Alabama's K-12 Rural Public Schools

    Rural Educator 32(2) Winter 2011 The State of Education in Alabama’s K-12 Rural Public Schools Ronald A. Lindahl Alabama State University The purpose of this study was to compare Alabama’s rural school districts with its city, suburban, and town districts. Descriptive statistics were used for this population study, with effect sizes calculated using Cohen’s d. Findings indicated Alabama’s rural school districts serve slightly less affluent student populations, with a lower percentage of minority students, than their counterparts. They are funded at slightly lower levels than their counterparts in other categories, yet spend approximately the same percentage of their budgets on administration and on instruction. They spend a considerably higher percentage on transportation. Although rural district dropout rates are similar to those of their counterparts, from the third to the eleventh grade, student performance on standardized examinations falls gradually behind that of the students in other locale categories.

EDUCATION FUNDING AND THE ALABAMA EXAMPLE: ANOTHER PLAYER ON A CROWDED FIELD John Herbert Roth* I. INTRODUCTION If the fundamental task of the school is to prepare children for life, the curriculum must be as wide as life itself. It should be thought of as comprising all the activities and the experiences afforded by the community through the school, whereby the children may be prepared to participate in the life of the community.' During the birth of the United States, when the many notable proponents of a system of free public education in this nation envisioned the benefits of an educated multitude, it is doubtful that they could have conceived of the free public school system that has become today's reality. Although it is manifest that an educated citizenry is an objective of the utmost importance in any organized and civilized society, the debate concerning how to provide for and fund a system of free public education has continued with little repose.

Pierson Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy under the Executive Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY 2012 © 2012 Sharon G. Pierson All rights reserved ABSTRACT A “Laboratory of Learning”: A Case Study of Alabama State College Laboratory High School in Historical Context, 1920-1960 Sharon G. Pierson In the first half of the twentieth century in the segregated South, Black laboratory schools began as “model,” “practice,” or “demonstration” schools that were at the heart of teacher training institutions at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Central to the core program, they were originally designed to develop college-ready students, demonstrate effective teaching practices, and provide practical application for student teachers. As part of a higher educational institution and under the supervision of a college or university president, a number of these schools evolved to “laboratory” high schools, playing a role in the development of African American education beyond their own local communities. As laboratories for learning, experimentation, and research, they participated in major cooperative studies and hosted workshops. They not only educated the pupils of the lab school and the student teachers from the institution, but also welcomed visitors from other high schools and colleges with a charge to influence Black education. A case study of Alabama State College Laboratory School, 1920-1960, demonstrates the evolution of a lab high school as part of the core program at an HBCU and its distinctive characteristics of high graduation and college enrollment rates, well-educated teaching staff, and a comprehensive liberal arts curriculum.
