Tours will tackle subjects such as immigration, sustainability, social justice, innovation, and the arts.

Guillory Jr., PhD LOWELL PUBLIC SCHOOLS Chief Schools Officer Phone: (978) 674-2163 155 Merrimack Street E-mail: [email protected] Lowell, Massachusetts 01852 TO: Dr. Joel Boyd, Superintendent of Schools FROM: Linus J. Guillory Jr., PhD, Chief Schools Officer DATE: September 27, 2019 RE: Update on the Latin Lyceum The following report is in response to a motion by Gerard Nutter & Andy Descoteaux: Administration to explain the change in philosophy regarding class location for the Latin Lyceum and Freshman Academy. Robert DeLossa prepared a response for Head of Lowell High School Busteed. The entirety of the response is reflected herein. From: Robert DeLossa To: Marianne Busteed Date: 25 September 2019 RE: Response to School Committee Motion with regard to the change of Freshman location to FA for Lyceum Students With regard to the question of whether the decision to house the teachers of Freshman Lyceum students in the Freshman Academy reflected a change of philosophy underlying the Lowell Latin Lyceum, I can state categorically that it did not. The underlying philosophy of the LLL remains the same as it has since the beginning of the Lyceum. Below I will point to two different areas to consider. The first is that the move to the Freshman Academy actually is more consistent with the philosophy of the Lyceum than the previous arrangement. Second, the move to the Freshman Academy better supports the individual needs of Lyceum students, who because of their academic giftedness and creativity, often need more social-emotional support than the previous arrangement provided. That support is physically located in the Freshman Academy.

  • Teacher Education Policies and Programs in Pakistan
    TEACHER EDUCATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN: THE GROWTH OF MARKET APPROACHES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADITIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS By Fida Hussain Chang A DISSERTATION Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Curriculum, Instruction, and Teacher Education - Doctor of Philosophy 2014 ABSTRACT TEACHER EDUCATION POLICIES AND PROGRAMS IN PAKISTAN: THE GROWTH OF MARKET APPROACHES AND THEIR IMPACT ON THE IMPLEMENTATION AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF TRADITIONAL TEACHER EDUCATION PROGRAMS By Fida Hussain Chang Two significant effects of globalization around the world are the decentralization and liberalization of systems, including education services. In 2000, the Pakistani Government brought major higher education liberalization and expansion reforms by encouraging market approaches based on self-financed programs. These approaches have been particularly important in the area of teacher education and development. The Pakistani Government data reports (AEPAM Islamabad) on education show vast growth in market-model off-campus (open and distance) post-baccalaureate teacher education programs in the last fifteen years. Many academics and scholars have criticized traditional off-campus programs for their low quality; new policy reforms in 2009, with the support of USAID, initiated the four-year honors program, with the intention of phasing out all traditional programs by 2018. However, the new policy still allows traditional off-campus market-model programs to be offered. This important policy reform juncture warrants empirical research on the effectiveness of traditional programs to inform current and future policies. Thus, this study focused on assessing the worth of traditional and off-campus programs, and the effects of market approaches, on the implementation of traditional post-baccalaureate teacher education programs offered by public institutions in a southern province of Pakistan.

  • The Place of Creative Writing in Composition Studies
    H E S S E / T H E P L A C E O F C R EA T I V E W R I T I NG Douglas Hesse The Place of Creative Writing in Composition Studies For different reasons, composition studies and creative writing have resisted one another. Despite a historically thin discourse about creative writing within College Composition and Communication, the relationship now merits attention. The two fields’ common interest should link them in a richer, more coherent view of writing for each other, for students, and for policymakers. As digital tools and media expand the nature and circula- tion of texts, composition studies should pay more attention to craft and to composing texts not created in response to rhetorical situations or for scholars. In recent springs I’ve attended two professional conferences that view writ- ing through lenses so different it’s hard to perceive a common object at their focal points. The sessions at the Associated Writing Programs (AWP) consist overwhelmingly of talks on craft and technique and readings by authors, with occasional panels on teaching or on matters of administration, genre, and the status of creative writing in the academy or publishing. The sessions at the Conference on College Composition and Communication (CCCC) reverse this ratio, foregrounding teaching, curricular, and administrative concerns, featur- ing historical, interpretive, and empirical research, every spectral band from qualitative to quantitative. CCCC sponsors relatively few presentations on craft or technique, in the sense of telling session goers “how to write.” Readings by authors as performers, in the AWP sense, are scant to absent.

  • Investigation Into University Technical Colleges
    A picture of the National Audit Office logo Report by the Comptroller and Auditor General Department for Education Investigation into university technical colleges HC 101 SESSION 2019-20 30 OCTOBER 2019 4 What this investigation is about Investigation into university technical colleges What this investigation is about 1 University technical colleges (UTCs) are a type of free school in England that focuses on teaching students who are mainly aged 14 to 19. UTCs are publicly funded state schools, independent of local authorities. Each UTC must be part of an academy trust, a charitable company that manages the school’s budget and employs the staff. Academy trusts are directly funded by, and accountable to, the Department for Education (the Department), via the Education and Skills Funding Agency. Single-academy trusts have one academy school, while multi-academy trusts bring together groups of academy schools. 2 In 2010, the government undertook to improve the quality of vocational education, including increasing flexibility for 14- to 19-year-olds and creating new technical academies as part of plans to diversify school provision.1 The Department supported the establishment of the first UTC in 2010/11 and the government announced its ambitions for UTCs in subsequent budgets.2 The Department’s vision was for employers and universities to work together, with educational experts, to open new institutions to deliver technical education in specialist areas that meets the needs of local employers and the economy. 3 However, UTCs have faced challenges that have threatened their viability. In December 2016, we reported that the then Education Funding Agency had assessed 22 of 47 UTCs as at risk due to financial concerns.3 The financial difficulties were caused, at least in part, by the fact that UTCs had fewer students than predicted.
