Free Download Education, Land, and Location By Gregory K. Ingram; Daphne A. Kenyon
2014 | 464 Pages | ISBN: 1558442898 | PDF | 17 MB
Because most children throughout the world attend elementary and secondary schools near their homes, where they live usually determines where they go to school. In the United States, the relationship between residential location and education has been especially strong given the dominance of local funding and local control of K-12 education. School quality varies markedly among the more than 14,000 school districts across the United States and within many of the country's large urban districts. Housing prices reflect school quality; houses in better school districts or more advantaged neighborhoods of large districts sell at a premium. In other words, school quality is capitalized into the price of land.The chapters in this volume explore the links between education, location, and land based on the proceedings of the 8th Annual Land Policy Conference of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy. Three policy outcomes are the focus: academic achievement of schoolchildren; racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic segregation; and equality of opportunity, all of which have broad relevance to U.S. public policy.The topics include the expansion of school choice, especially through charter schools and home schooling; the importance of cognitive skills for economic growth; the role of the property tax in school finance and alternative revenue sources; the structure of school districts; transportation to school; effects of school location; and housing policies that can unlink education and location.This volume features the papers presented at the Lincoln Institute's 8th annual Land Policy Conference in June 2013.

English | ISBN: 1350355119 | 2023 | 232 pages | EPUB, PDF | 760 KB + 2 MB
Why pursue a university education? Some people answer in terms of the purpose of getting a good job. Others respond in terms of the aim of earning more money. Still others answer in terms of the goal of promoting social justice. Drawing on C. S. Lewis's belief that the purpose of life is the experience of perfect happiness, Stewart Goetz explains Lewis's simple but overlooked view that a person should pursue a university education for the pleasure that comes from higher-level intellectual activity. Goetz not only sharpens our understanding of Lewis's life and work in higher education, but also leads us to question why we attend, study, teach, or research at a university.

Free Download Steven Lewis, "Assembling Comparison: Understanding Education Policy through Mobilities and Assemblage "
English | ISBN: 1529231302 | 2024 | 148 pages | PDF | 9 MB
This book combines assemblage theory and policy mobilities to inform the study of comparative and international education (CIE), focusing on education policy and how such policy moves are enacted. These approaches challenge taken-for granted and universalizing concepts in policy research and policy work in CIE - such as the nation-state, policy making/policy enactment, global/local, Global North/Global South - and highlight how policy is contingent on emerging through complex relations between people and places. Using illustrative cases drawn from research and practice in CIE and education development, the book demonstrates how these ideas can be used in the analysis of policy and the application of this approach in real life.
