| candidates for board of education: How to Run a School Board Campaign and Win Cipora O. Schwartz, 1982 In three chapters, this manual describes how a school board campaign should operate and presents an action plan for board candidates and their supporters. Chapter 1 discusses the candidate's role and duties. It covers the school board itself, qualifications for candidates, precampaign preparation, time required for a campaign, selection of a campaign manager, candidate preparation (including interviews, background reading, written and oral presentations, briefings, and community outreach), and campaigning itself, involving public appearances, door-to-door activities, press relations, name recognition, and meetings with the campaign manager, workers, and committee chairpersons. Chapter 1 also sketches the campaign wrap-up and outlines a week-by-week campaign timetable. Chapter 2 tells how to build a campaign organization, defines the manager's role, and delineates weekly timetables and functions for 13 committees and their chairpersons and members. The committees involve the areas of aides, absentee ballots, briefings, clerical work, finance, letters to editors and friends, mailings and literature drops, neighborhood gatherings, publicity, research, telephoning, and walkathons. Chapter 3 offers sample campaign literature for most areas, including letters, platform, brochures, and press releases. Two appendices list all state school board associations and suggest further reading. An index is attached. (RW) |
| candidates for board of education: School Board Battles Melissa M. Deckman, 2004-02-27 If there is a culture war taking place in the United States, one of the most interesting, if under-the-radar, battlegrounds is in local school board elections. Rarely does the pitch of this battle reach national attention, as it did in Kansas when the state school board—led by several outspoken conservative Christians—voted to delete evolution from the state's science curriculum and its standardized tests in August 1999. That action rattled not only the educational and scientific communities, but concerned citizens around the nation as well. While the movement of the Christian Right into national and state politics has been well documented, this is the first book to examine their impact on local school board politics. While the Kansas decision was short-lived, during the past decade in school districts around the country, conservative Christian majorities have voted to place limits on sex education, to restrict library books, to remove references to gays and lesbians in the classroom, and to promote American culture as superior to other cultures. School Board Battles studies the motivation, strategies, and electoral success of Christian Right school board candidates. Based on interviews, and using an extensive national survey of candidates as well as case studies of two school districts in which conservative Christians ran and served on local boards, Melissa M. Deckman gives us a surprisingly complex picture of these candidates. She reveals weaker ties to national Christian Right organizations—and more similarities between these conservative candidates and their more secular counterparts than might be expected. Deckman examines important questions: Why do conservative Christians run for school boards? How much influence has the Christian Right actually had on school boards? How do conservative Christians govern? School Board Battles is an in-depth and in-the-trenches look at an important encounter in the culture war—one that may well determine the future of our nation's youth. |

| candidates for board of education: Testing Teacher Candidates National Research Council, Division of Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education, Board on Testing and Assessment, Center for Education, Committee on Assessment and Teacher Quality, 2001-10-19 Americans have adopted a reform agenda for their schools that calls for excellence in teaching and learning. School officials across the nation are hard at work targeting instruction at high levels for all students. Gaps remain, however, between the nation's educational aspirations and student achievement. To address these gaps, policy makers have recently focused on the qualifications of teachers and the preparation of teacher candidates. This book examines the appropriateness and technical quality of teacher licensure tests currently in use, evaluates the merits of using licensure test results to hold states and institutions of higher education accountable for the quality of teacher preparation and licensure, and suggests alternatives for developing and assessing beginning teacher competence. Teaching is a complex activity. Definitions of quality teaching have changed and will continue to change over time as society's values change. This book provides policy makers, teacher testers, and teacher educators with advice on how to use current tests to assess teacher candidates and evaluate teacher preparation, ensuring that America's youth are being taught by the most qualified candidates. |
