What prompted New York City teachers to form a union in the Progressive Era? The founding of the journal American Teacher in 1912 led to creation of the Teachers’ League in 1913 and then the Teachers Union in 1916, facilitating formation of the American Federation of Teachers (AFT). Despite historiographical claims that teacher union drives needed a focus on bread-and-butter issues to succeed, ideals of educational democracy and opposition to managerial autocracy motivated the Teachers’ League. Contrary to claims that early New York City teacher unionism was unrepresentative because dominated by radical male Jewish high-school instructors, heterogeneous majorities of women and elementary school teachers formed the Teachers’ League and Teachers Union leaderships. Board of Education representation, maternity leave, free speech, and pensions were aims of this radically democratic movement led by socialists and feminists, which received demonstrably greater mass teacher support than the conservative feminism of a rival association.

The purpose of this study was to assess the attitudes of teachers who are members of the Tanzania Teachers Union towards the effectiveness of their union in improving teachers' welfare at Dodoma City Council. The study employed a mixed research approach using convergent parallel design and was guided by the social capital theory of Bourdieu 1984. The population of the study comprised public secondary and primary school teachers who are members of the Tanzania Teachers Union and TTU administrators. The sample size of the study was 64 participants, whereby 50 participants were teachers who were members of the union, and 14 participants being TTU administrators. Questionnaires and interview guides were used to collect data. Quantitative data obtained was analysed using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 20 computer package and the findings were presented by the use of frequency tables. Qualitative data was coded, categorised, and analysed using a thematic approach, of which description was employed to present data. This study found that a high number of teachers do not have positive attitudes toward TTU. The researcher recommended that the union should schedule a meet the people tour and meet members so as to be in touch with the challenges that most teachers face in their working areas. The study recommends that TAMISEMI who is the teachers' employer should work in partnership with TTU so as to help them in improving teachers' welfare and improve the image of the union among its members. This to some extent will help members to have a positive attitude towards the union hence the posterity of the union and its members

Full textAbstract:
In the fall of 1968, 54,000 of 57,000 New York City teachers went on strike in what has since become known as the Ocean Hill-Brownsville Teachers’ Strike. With schools closed for thirty-six days, from September to November, more than one million students were left without schools to attend. Nearly 300,000 of them were high school students—many of whom utilized their “time off” to become or, in some cases, continue to be socially and politically active. This article outlines high school students’ involvement in the Ocean Hill-Brownsville Crisis. It centers upon the New York High School Student Union, which was established as a citywide student organization in September of 1968. During the tense days of that autumn, members of this organization openly supported the African American community’s call for decentralization of schools and firmly opposed the United Federation of Teachers’s strike action.

International Journal of Multidisciplinary: Applied Business and Education Research 3, no. 9 (September 12, 2022): 1717–36. http://dx.doi.org/10.11594/ijmaber03.09.12.
Full textAbstract:
The main purpose of the study was to investigate the relationship of school heads’ transformational leadership and school performance among public elementary school in the City Schools Division of San Fernando, La Union. Descriptive-correlational design was used which consists of 27 elementary schools with twenty-seven (27) school heads and four hundred forty-three (443) teachers who were in active service for the School Year 2021-2022 were the respondents of the study. Descriptive statistics, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Wilcoxon signed rank test, Rank-biserial and Spearman’s rank, Pearson product-moment correlation were the tools used in the study and all analyses were tested at 0.05 level of significance using IBM SPSS. The professional characteristics of the school heads showed that majority of them are occupying a plantilla item of Principal 1 and 2 and are still taking their doctorate degree. Also, most of them served for 10 years and above as school heads and they are managing non-central and medium-sized schools. The practice of transformational leadership among the school heads is generally high and the ratings of the school heads across all the dimensions of transformational leadership are consistent. Majority of the school head in the Division of La Union have Maturing or level 2 SBM practice. The schools have introduced and sustained continuous improvement process that integrates wider community participation and improve significantly the students’ performance and learning outcomes. The test of hypothesis showed that there were no significant differences between school heads and teachers’ ratings of the former’s transformational leadership except for the domains “enabling others to act” and “encouraging the heart”. The school type had a significant relationship with the domain “enabling the heart”. Specifically, those who are managing non-central school had significantly lower scores in encouraging the heart compared to those who are managing the central schools. Other profile variables are not significantly related to transformational leadership. Finally, there was a significant positive correlation between the overall transformational leadership and the schools’ performance. The more school heads practice transformational leadership particularly “Inspiring a shared vision” and “Encouraging the heart”, the higher is the schools’ performance. In conclusion, the elementary schools in the Division of La Union City are compliant to DepEd Order No. 83, s. 2012. However, much is desired to elevate its compliance to advanced stage. Significantly, the high practice of transformational leadership and this is translated in the school improvement and performance marked by the introduction and sustained process of stakeholders’ participation and significant students’ learning outcomes. Remarkably, higher practice of transformational leadership among school heads yields higher school performance particularly along Inspiring a shared vision and Encouraging the heart. Thus, transformational leadership is an effective leadership approach in managing DepEd schools as it ushers significant changes in the development of schools and its stakeholders.

Abstract The Union Public Service Commission (UPSC) offers its set of examinations in a “medium”, whether in a language recognized by the Constitution of India or in English. The notion of medium in the examination borrows from the notion of medium in schooling where it refers to the primary language of pedagogy. Although not all students who have studied in a particular medium in school and university go on to attempt the UPSC examinations in the same medium, most do. This article reports on fieldwork conducted in 2014 in coaching centers in Delhi’s Mukherjee Nagar and in the city of Varanasi. It traces some of the ways in which people hold ideologies about the significance of studying in one medium or another. Much ideological reflection, for example, was oriented to the fierce protesting that broke out in various locations in Delhi during the summer of 2014, just before my fieldwork. The protests were focused on changes made to the UPSC examination in 2011 which initiated increasingly poor results among Hindi-medium aspirants. The article also answers the call of scholars to consider institutional practices – especially as they change – alongside ideological reflections because, in the case of coaching centers, practice and ideology are not aligned.

Full textAbstract:
Background/Context With the growth of the small-school movement, many urban districts have restructured large underperforming high schools into new, small high schools or schools-within-a-school designed to engage adolescents in rigorous and meaningful learning along with strong teacher-student relationships. In the case of this study, the culmination of state and city school system regulation and support, the involvement of the teachers union and persistent community demands led to the closing of this comprehensive high school. Known for its persistent academic failure, it was reopened as a complex of several new schools and a phaseout school to better serve this multiracial, predominantly Latino, poor and working-class community. Focus of Study The study findings focus on the multiple dimensions of small-school restructuring, underscoring the fragile balance between creating a future and managing a past in a newly restructured former comprehensive urban high school. Research Design This was a qualitative, ethnographic study examining the first year of school restructuring. Data Collection Primary data collection methods were semistructured interviews, participant observation, and archival study. We interviewed community leaders, school system officials, and 36 individuals from a representative sample of teachers and parents. Additionally, we conducted six student focus groups. Findings and Conclusions Extending the literature on small schools, reconstitution, and organizational change, this study provides a close look at the dilemmas of the opening year of a restructuring high school. Noting how frequent acts of erasure were employed in response to many first-year challenges, we link these acts of erasure to the fundamental desire on the part of schools to survive their first year. Key to the conceptualization of erasure is its relationship with the intent on survival. We note a contradiction evident in our conceptualization: Although we underscore the immense potential for educational change through the process of restructuring, we also suggest that these processes of erasure and survival have the potential to suppress the kind of conflict and turbulence often necessary for productive institutional transformation. The phenomenon of erasure in relation to survival has troubling implications for efforts to preserve a community's legacy of struggle and a history of resistance toward distant, often antagonistic, educational bureaucracies. The study poses questions about the use of school closure in current school accountability policy enactments and, more broadly, emphasizes the complexity of the school restructuring process.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of the article is to evaluate the effectiveness of the extracurricular activity program "Eco-friend of our school" for the formation of the foundations of the ecological and patriotic culture of younger schoolchildren. The article presents the experience of introducing the program into the extracurricular activities of younger schoolchildren (organized on the basis of the innovative regional educational platform of the «Secondary School No. 60» named after Hero of the Soviet Union P.F. Batavin in the 2022-2023 academic year) during the solution of project tasks: "We decided to build a house", "Festival of Children's Ecological Theaters", "School of Good Deeds", "Portrait of the hometown". The article substantiates the need to focus on the development of the patriotic component in the structure of the ecological and patriotic culture of the representatives of the younger generation. A significant basis of the work is the modeling of the image of the house, school, city and small homeland with the orientation of the younger student to the image of a patriot with his inherent qualities (the desire to perform socially significant functions in the family, school community, in various spheres of society, to protect nature, high spirituality). The semantic field of the concept of "ecological and patriotic culture" is analyzed. It is revealed that the proposed program of extracurricular activities can be considered effective due to qualitative changes in the personality of a younger student as a result of complex diagnostics ("AESOP" V.A. Yasvina, D.V. Grigoriev's method of diagnostics of personal growth, the method "Who am I?" (modification of M. Kuhn's method)), the study of the art of younger schoolchildren).

This chapter documents the nation’s longest and most contentious teacher strike in the immediate wake of the New York City fiscal crisis of 1975, after which New York and many other cities were forced on the path of municipal austerity. In December, 1975 the Pittsburgh school board worried about the high cost of teacher salary increases, even though the city was in a very strong financial position. The Pittsburgh teacher union went on strike and the local court issued an injunction. In the Steel City, a contentious public discussion erupted over the teachers’ illegal strike and the connection between teacher salaries and taxes. Indeed, a robust version of taxpayer resistance to teachers had emerged by the end of the strike.

Abstract Thirty years ago, students in Union City, New Jersey, scored second to last in the state on standardized tests. Today, nearly all students graduate high school and most enroll in college—not what you might expect in a district that’s 99 percent Latino, with three-quarters of the students coming from Spanish-speaking families, and many of them living in poverty. The district’s transformation can be attributed to its “kids come first” philosophy that drives all decisions. The district built a model early education program that enrolls almost all three- and four-year-olds. It has adopted a word-soaked curriculum in elementary school to bolster the English learners and it tailors its bilingual instruction to match students’ individual progress. The school system offers students a panoply of choices within a coherent curriculum.

Mestre 1978. At the peak of “anni di piombo”, an event of political violence, an arson attack on a high school principal, splits the school community and the city. The atmosphere, already warm, ignites. The conflict regards the crux of violence: the student movement condemns the attack but sets against the violence of the capitalist system; whereas school leadership and conservative parents and public opinion citizens invoke law and order and denounce obscure adult complicities, there’s who, union, teachers and progressive parents, tries hard to recognize the reasons and identify spaces for discussion between institutions and students.

Abstract Although I came from a background of social consciousness, I missed the Great Depression (being too young) but grew up in its wake, an experience augmented by the rise of Nazism and fascism, the civil war in Spain, and the drama of the Roosevelt years. In high school I had an orientation toward social change, but my political consciousness was still unformed. At the same time, an inherent caution, as well as the geographical isolation of growing up in Staten Island (the most rural borough of New York City), precluded being captured by any of the radical political organizations and movements of the 1930s. Upon graduation from high school in January 1940, I was little interested in academic life, instead choosing to enter a small Lutheran college on Staten Island, where another new student, himself recently recruited to Trotskyism, brought me into his political orbit. World War II had recently begun, and I found myself recruited to a wing of Trotskyism, led by Max Shachtman, which rejected Trotsky’s unshakable commitment to the defense of the Soviet Union.

Full textAbstract:
Given the increase in diagnoses of Autism Spectrum Disorder in children and adolescents worldwide, a study is necessary to understand how these diagnoses are made. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the age at which an Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis is made in patients of a private clinic in a city in the metropolitan area of Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul state, as well as which professionals were involved in this process. Nine parents participated, being 7 mothers and 2 fathers, with ages between 29 and 62 years old, all of them were in a stable union; only one of the interviewees did not have a complete high school education. This is a qualitative study, with multiple case study design. The results were organized into categories according to the age of the children at the time of diagnosis. It is important to emphasize that most of the parents interviewed had observed atypical behavior in their children before they were 3 years old, and that communication and language impairment and delay were the earliest symptoms observed by them, followed by social behavior impairment.

Full textAbstract:
It is incorrect to limit the study of the phenomenon of Yugoslav, and generally foreign, communist emigration to the USSR in the 1920- 1940s to figures of the first and second row. The fates of those who did not hold high positions in the Communist Parties or Comintern may also be regarded as a reflection of significant historical processes. In particular, the life of Svetozar Jovanović (a.k.a. Stefan Bogdanovsky, 1897–1941), a shoemaker from the village Mirijevo, 25 km from Požarevac, is an illustrative example of the relationship between the state machine and the “little man” who dared to “play politics.” During the brutal era of world wars, several authoritarian and totalitarian regimes tried to deprive him of his freedom and his life, which ultimately happened in 1941 in German-occupied Kyiv. From 1914–1918 there were many occasions in which S. Jovanović could have died on the battlefield or in the Austro-Hungarian POW camp, where he ended up in 1915. Demobilized in 1919, the former soldier of the Serbian army joined the Communist Party of Yugoslavia, in which a few years later he took the position of “secretary” regional committee”. In 1928, Jovanović, who was facing arrest, was sent by the party to Moscow to study at the Communist University of National Minorities of the West (KUNMZ). Having received a Soviet passport and now member of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks, the student received a new “school name,” namely, “Stefan Pavlovich Bogdanovsky.” From now on, he, like millions of Soviet citizens, had to constantly seek some form of “peaceful coexistence” with the authorities, and, consequently, yield to its pressure, make inevitable “compromises with conscience.” His instinct of self-preservation warned Bogdanovsky from participating in internal party squabbles, and a “duty journey” to Spain (1936–1939) saved him from the Great Terror. During the three years Bogdanovsky spent abroad, most of his classmates and senior party comrades were executed. In fear of the prospect of following them, he, upon returning to the USSR, renounced his wife, who was arrested during his absence by the NKVD and sentenced to five years in a GULAG. Bogdanovsky left for Kyiv, where he started a new family. Having dodged the “punishing sword of revolution,” our hero, however, did not cease to be a hostage to big European politics. In September 1941, he shared the fate of more than half a million soldiers and commanders on the Southwestern Front who defended Kyiv and found themselves surrounded by Germans.
