Join host Dr. Mike Robinson on Sunday, March 31, 2013 starting at 8:00 pm EST, as he discusses the impact of school closings on student achievement.  His guest is Dr. Elaine Simon from the University of Pennsylvania. Recently Dr. Simon wrote an article where she examined what school closings really mean to neighborhoods. According to Dr. Simon’s research and those of other scholars, profess is that most students from schools recommended for closing in Philadelphia for example would not end up in better-performing schools. They are likely to wind up in schools much like the ones they were in before. Given this assertion, the questions one has to ask, why are schools closing?  How will students benefit from closing of their neighborhood schools? What becomes of the teachers and school administrators of those schools that are forced to close? How should parents, teachers and community leaders measure the success of closing schools beyond any monetary gains? Finally, should the cost of operating schools be the sole factor in determine which schools are closed? BIO Elaine Simon is co-director of the Urban Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania and a senior research consultant at Research for Action. Elaine Simon is an anthropologist who has conducted ethnographic research and evaluation in the fields of education, employment and training, and community development. She is Co-Director of Urban Studies in the School of Arts and Sciences and adjunct Associate Professor of Education in the Graduate School of Education at the University of Pennsylvania. 00:53:00Parent Talk Live 10noeducation,school closing,Dr Mike Robinson,Elaine Simon,studentsJoin host Dr. Mike Robinson on Sunday, March 31, 2013 starting at 8:00 pm EST, as he discusses the impact of school closings on student achievement.  His guesthttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/parent-talk-live-10/2013/03/26/parent-talk-live-how-effective-are-school-takeoverspart-2Educationhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/parent-talk-live-10/2013/03/26/parent-talk-live-how-effective-are-school-takeoverspart-2/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/parent-talk-live-10/2013/03/26/parent-talk-live-how-effective-are-school-takeoverspart-2Tue, 26 Mar 2013 00:00:00 GMTParent Talk Live: How Effective Are School Takeovers..Part 2 Join host Dr. Mike Robinson for part two of his discussion on the  the effectiveness and justification of local or state governments taking over public schools.
