Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Across the country, our children are beginning life from very different starting points.

These different starting points place children on distinctly different trajectories of growth and development, ultimately leading to vastly different adult outcomes.How did we get to a place where circumstances of birth have become so determinative And what must we do, within communities and across our country, to better equalize opportunity for more Americans - both young and old The editors of this volume contend that if, as a nation, we do nothing, then we will continue to drift apart, placing an unsustainable strain on the nation's social fabric and the character of its democracy. Consequently, understanding the dynamics governing the distribution and transmission of opportunity - and transforming this understanding into policies and programs - is critical for not only the life outcomes of individual Americans and their children, but also the country as a whole.The goal of Educational Testing Service's Opportunity in America initiative is to explore these powerful dynamics and to describe and convey them in a way that advances the national conversation about why we must take action - and how best to do so.This volume contains 14 chapters, including anepilogue,written by leaders from a range of fields including education, economics, demography, and political science.

Written in an engaging style, this volume constitutes an essential foundation for informed discussion and strategic analysis.…

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This volume offers contributions by thought leaders from a variety of disciplines and different perspectives, which are brought together in a final chapter. The contributions give insight in the role of large-scale international assessments as change agents. As national leaders recognize the growing importance of human capital and how it is distributed, policymakers, economists and decision makers in education have become increasingly interested in results from comparative international surveys. These assessments offer important information on the development of cognitive skills and the consequences of differences in the distribution of these skills. Researchers use the data to assess the role of human capital in predicting outcomes and to identify factors that may contribute to the development of more human capital.An invaluable resource for researchers in international comparative education, policy studies, economics, civics education, educational technology, and policy makers.…
