Wang, Jianjun – International Education Studies, 2013
News media often publish comparative studies that report U.S. student performance in a global context. The school quality concern seems so simplistic that anyone who had compulsory education can chime into the discussion. In this article, the condition of U.S. education is further disentangled across the boundary of K-12 and higher education. Core…

O'Brien, Joe; Hood, Jack – History Teacher, 2009

Engaging students in a comparative study of U.S. Presidents and actions they took "to provide for the common defence"…

Wilkinson, Leah; Vander Putten, Jim – Online Submission, 2010
The economic downturn that began in the United States in 2008 has influenced higher education in similar ways to retrenchment in the early 1970s. Institutional budget constraints have expedited long-term declines in the number of full-time, tenure track faculty positions available in many academic disciplines, especially the humanities. This…

Webber, Karen L.; Tschepikow, Kyle – Association for Institutional Research (NJ1), 2011
