  • Three Implementations of a Decentralized Organization Design
    The Implementation of A Decentralized Organization Design in Three Large Public School Districts: Edmonton, Seattle, and Houston By William G. Ouchi Anderson School of Management UCLA 110 Westwood Plaza, Suite B523 Los Angeles, California 90095-1481 July 30, 2004 This research was funded through grants from the National Science Foundation (Grant # 0115559), Dr. Peter Bing, the John M. Olin Foundation, the Frank and Kathy Baxter Family Foundation, and the Thomas B. Fordham Foundation. The author wishes to acknowledge the work done on this project by Bruce S. Cooper, Lydia G. Segal, Carolyn Brown, Timothy DeRoche, Elizabeth Galvin, John Gabree, Bernice Tsai, James Mirocha, Stephanie Kagimoto, Kristina Tipton, and Jennifer Riss. I also received helpful suggestions on early drafts from Fred Ali, Christine Beckman, Tom Boysen, Gloria Chalmers, Beverly Donohue, Harry Handler, Tom Hofstedt, Sanford Jacoby, Dan Katzir, Barbara Lawrence, Paul Lawrence, David Lewin, Allan Odden, Janice Riddell, Randy Ross, Morton Schapiro, Dorothy Siegel, Olav Sorenson, Deborah Stipek, Kaye Stripling, Joseph Viteritti, and Oliver Williamson, for which I am grateful. Abstract Although the study of organization design can be traced to the study of public school districts beginning in 1955, school districts themselves have been immune to organizational re-design until very recently. Three large school districts have recently undertaken structural redesign along the lines of the multidivisional form that is well established in large businesses. These three are compared to three large districts that are in the traditional centralized form and to large Catholic school systems. Measures of performance indicate that decentralization has yielded large improvements in student achievement and in organizational efficiency.

  • Toward an Ethnic Studies Pedagogy: Implications for K-12 Schools from the Research

As schools across the country begin to place Ethnic Studies courses on their master schedules, the lack of preparation and education to support effective Ethnic Studies teaching has emerged as a problem. Therefore, the central questions addressed in this paper are: What is Ethnic Studies pedagogy? and What are its implications for hiring and preparing K-12 teachers? This is a conceptual article that builds upon existing research studies to investigate the pedagogy of effective K-12 teachers of Ethnic Studies. From this literature, we identify several patterns in their pedagogy: All authors contributed equally to the writing of this article. A.

The interest area for this SIG centered on generic knowledge about: (1) curriculum definitions; (2) model programs; (3) curriculum designs; (4) the curriculum development process; (5) curriculum objectives; (6) criteria for curriculum content and methods of organization; (7) curriculum evaluation; and (8) other aspects of theoretical and practical import for the creation of improved educational programs. This monograph traces the history of this SIG from its inception in 1971 to the present. The first chapter, by Edmund C. Short, describes the beginnings of the SIG. In chapter two, by George H. Willis, the professional activities of the group are discussed. The third chapter, by William H. Schubert, is a chronicle of the scholarly contributions of the SIG, listing papers and symposia sponsored by the group at AERA annual meetings from October, 1971 through April 1984. Included in the appendixes are SIG newsletters from 1971 to 1984.

  • National Identity and Political Strategies of Racism Denial in The
    “THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF EVERY PRECIOUS AMERICAN VALUE”: NATIONAL IDENTITY AND POLITICAL STRATEGIES OF RACISM DENIAL IN THE TERMINATION OF TUCSON’S MEXICAN AMERICAN STUDIES PROGRAM by GLORIA HOWERTON (Under the Direction of Amy Trauger) ABSTRACT Tucson, Arizona became a prominent educational battleground with the 2010 passage of ARS § 15-112, legislation used to terminate Tucson’s Mexican American Studies program. After a seven-year legal battle, the 9th circuit district court of appeals ruled that racial animus was key to the implementation and enforcement of the legislation. This project is concerned with the continuing effort to seize upon and (re)produce a particular national identity that rests in individualism and whiteness. Attempts to promote certain values and identities as “American” emerge from an entanglement between the scales of nation, state, school district, and classroom. In the border state of Arizona, the looming spectre of the Mexico-U.S. border provides a base for politicians and political institutions to build and maintain power through fears of white loss and victimhood. In particular, I consider how these racialized fears are used as political tools, and how accusations of racism or racial animus are evaded in a process that I call “appropriative evasion.” Appropriative evasion is informed both by Freyd’s (1997) DARvo (Deny, Attack, Reverse victim and offender) which she observes as a tactic that abusers use to silence and confuse victims and accusers, as well as by Haney López’s (2014) dog whistle politics, which considers the use of racially coded political discourse as a tool to win political power while still evading accusations of racism.

To me, multicultural education is a process of transforming schools based on dialog in which groups that have been marginalized on the basis of their identities (culture, lan- guage, gender, religion, etc.) are able to rework what doesn’t work for them, or what has kept them marginalized.
