Going to College: How Social, Economic, and Educational

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hossler, Don / Schmit, Jack / Vesper, Nick, PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, Going to College tells the powerful story of how high school students make choices about postsecondary education. Drawing on their unprecedented nine-year study of high school students, the authors explore how students and their parents negotiate these important decisions. Family background, finances, education, information -- all influence students' plans after high school and the career paths they pursue, as do the more subtle messages delivered by parents and counselors which shape adolescents' self-expectations. For high school guidance counselors, college admissions counselors, parents and teachers, and public policy makers, this book is a valuable resource that explains the decision-making process and helps adults to help students make appropriate choices. The authors identify predisposition, search, and choice as the three stages in the student decision-making process. Predisposition refers to the plans students develop for education or work after they graduate from high school. The search stage involves students discovering and evaluating a variety of colleges and universities. In the choice stage, students choose a school to attend from among a list of institutions that are being seriously considered. Understanding exactly how students move through the predisposition, search, and choice stages of the college decision-making process can help students and parents prepare themselves for this process and consider a wider array of options. For education professionals, understanding this process can lead to new initiatives to guide students and families effectively -- by providing better incentives for college savings, for example, or devising more effective early informationprograms about postsecondary education. Going to Collegeis the first book to seriously study over an extended period the decisions that have a pervasive and lasting impact on individual careers, livelihoods, and lifestyles. The authors conclude with important recommendations for improving academic support, exploring various financial options, providing early encouragement -- in other words, for recognizing the factors that influence students' decisions, and knowing when to pay attention to them.

It's No Accident: How Corporations Sell Dangerous Baby

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Felcher, E. Marla, PUBLISHER: Common Courage Press, Last year consumers spent $4.5 billion on infant products such as portable cribs, cradles, infant carriers, and car seats. Today's parents, many of them older, dual income, and mobile, demand product features that fifteen years ago were unheard of: portable cribs that weigh only a few pounds and easily collapse for storage, car seats that double as infant carriers, over-sized strollers for parents who jog. Products, it turns out, that are too often inadequately tested and ultimately unsafe. Marla Felchers' two-year-long investigation has revealed case after case of infants and toddlers being seriously injured and killed by these products and case after case of manufacturers going to great lengths to cover this up. It's No Accident exposes the inner-workings of the infant products industry, highlighting the tactics used by corporate giants such as Hasboro (Playskool), Evenflo, Kolcraft, Cosco, Graco, and Century Products to keep consumers in the dark about their safety records.

Empowering Teachers and Parents: School Restructuring

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hess, G. Alfred, Jr., PUBLISHER: J F Bergin & Garvey, A much-needed examination of the impact on teachers and parents of the effort to improve our schools through restructuring, this book looks at professionalization and parent empowerment programs from the ground level rather than from the large-scale policy level. The editor, active in both policy setting and monitoring implementation, approaches the subject with an overarching view that weaves together a set of diverse case studies that examine some of the most notable efforts in this area of school reform. The first section demonstrates the tremendous difficulties involved in attempting to reshape the culture of public school teaching, noting both institutional resistance to change and the personal resistance of the professionals who are, in theory, being empowered through this approach. The second section details the problems of launching parent empowerment opportunities, in a large urban setting, and a contrasting case examines the choice of enrollment option. Here, too, these studies examine the effectiveness of these programs. The conclusion reflects on the opportunities such innovations provide for researchers and assesses the importance of such research in shaping the innovations themselves through evaluations while they are in process.
