Steudeman, Michael J. – History of Education Quarterly, 2018
The nineteenth-century debate about the role of the US Bureau of Education was marked by negotiations between the civic republican language of antebellum common school advocacy and a social scientific language of educational professionalism.

Shober, Arnold F. – Peabody Journal of Education, 2012
Since the 1970s, American governors have become increasingly active in education politics.

Kimora – Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 2008
There is an emerging paradigm in probation and parole in the United States.

The economic meltdown has hit U.S. college campuses, and higher education is on the chopping block in state budgets, with cuts totaling hundreds of millions of dollars already approved and hundreds of millions in more cuts on the way.

Jacobson, Linda – Education Week, 2008
The 2008 state legislative season launches this month under a fiscal cloud in a number of states, where ambitious education initiatives--including expanded pre-K programs, college- or career-preparation efforts, and improved teacher pay--may end up being balanced against gloomy revenue projections. A revenue slowdown--foreshadowed last month in…

Dougherty, Kevin J.; Natow, Rebecca S. – Community College Research Center, Columbia University, 2009
Performance funding in higher education ties state funding directly to institutional performance on specific indicators, such as rates of retention, graduation, and job placement. One of the great puzzles about performance funding is that it has been both popular and unstable. Between 1979 and 2007, 26 states enacted it, but 14 of those states…
