Subject: 1. PRISON OVERCROWDING. 2. PRISON STATISTICS. 3. PRISONERS.
Notes: "This report focuses on how we can reduce the nation’s prison population without adversely affecting public safety. For this to happen, we will need to reduce the number of people sent to prison and, for those who do go to prison, shorten the length of time they spend behind bars and under parole and probation surveillance. People who break the law must be held accountable, but many of those currently incarcerated should receive alternative forms of punishment, and those who are sent to prison must spend a shorter period incarcerated before coming home to our communities. Our recommendations would reestablish practices that were the norm in America for most of the previous century, when incarceration rates were a fraction of what they are today."

Pages: 110
Subject: 1. EDUCATION--CURRICULUM. 2. EDUCATION--ASSESSMENT.
Notes: "The paper argues that the United States needs to substantially increase the scientific and mathematical competency of the general adult population so that the voting citizenry can better understand and reach a consensus on policies that address many of the world’s most pressing problems.
In addition we need larger numbers of people working in the scientific disciplines in order to better compete in a global economic environment. To achieve these goals, national and state policy makers need indicators of scientific and mathematical progress early in the educational pipeline. It is argued that the strategy of linking NAEP [National Assessment of Educational Progress] to TIMSS [Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study] helps to provide this system of indicators."

Using data from the Education Longitudinal Study of 2002 (ELS:2002), the analysis identifies the coursetaking sequences most prevalent among contemporary high school students in their junior and senior years, sociodemographic characteristics of the students who follow these course sequences, and the association between specific courses and course sequences and mathematics gains over the last two years of high school. Because most students (94 percent) entered the second half of high school with a mastery of basic mathematics skills such as simple arithmetic and operations, most learning during this time was in intermediate-level mathematics skills and concepts."

Title: A SCIENCE-BASED FRAMEWORK FOR EARLY CHILDHOOD POLICY : Using evidence to improve outcomes in learning, behavior, and health for vulnerable children (Book) -- Cambridge MA: --2007.
Source: CENTER ON THE DEVELOPING CHILD AT HARVARD UNIVERSITY
Pages: 33
Subject: 1. EDUCATION--PRESCHOOL. 2. CHILDREN.
Notes: "It is widely recognized that the path to our nation’s future prosperity and security begins with the well-being of all our children. To this end, one of the most important tasks facing policymakers is to choose wisely among strategies that address the needs of our youngest children and their families. Until now, confusing messages about which Strategies actually can improve children’s life chances have presented enormous challenges to this decisionmaking process. As scientists, we believe that advances in the science of early childhood and early brain development, combined with the findings of four decades of rigorous program evaluation research, can now provide a strong foundation upon which policymakers and civic leaders with diverse political values can design a common, effective, and politically viable agenda. With this goal in mind, we describe in this report the process by which brain architecture is formed in very young children, with special attention to the important influence of early experiences on the production of a weak or sturdy foundation for future development, and integrate this scientific knowledge with the identification of those factors from the program evaluation literature that appear to offer the best course toward positive outcomes for children. We believe that this combination of neuroscience, child development research, and program evaluation data can provide an informed and pragmatic framework for those engaged in policy design and implementation."

The third chapter examines several creationist perspectives, including intelligent design, and discusses the scientific and legal reasons against teaching creationist ideas in public school science classes.

Pages: 28
Subject: 1. EDUCATION--TEACHERS--EDUCATION AND CERTIFICATION.
Notes: "The past eight years have seen an unprecedented level of education policy activity focused on issues of teacher quality. ... Taken together, the study’s findings suggest that recent policy initiatives have helped improve the quality of the teacher pool as measured by SAT scores and college grades. In most cases, however, it is difficult to assign particular changes to specific policies because the policies have been implemented at so many points in the system. The observed changes are large for the world of education policy and have occurred over a relatively brief time span. This confluence of policy changes at the institutional, state, and federal levels is associated with positive changes in the profile of prospective teachers."

Notes: "Section I: State Winners and Losers, details the migration of thousands of Americans from areas with high tax burdens to places where they can experience greater economic freedom. ... In Section II: The State Roadmap to Prosperity, the authors prove the economic theory that low taxes increase the incentive to work, and thus increase income, wealth, employment, investment, and in-migration. ... Section III: The State Spending Binge, expounds upon the lack of fiscal responsibility at the state level. ... The last section, The ALEC-Laffer State Economic Competitiveness Index, offers two rankings. The first, the Economic Performance Rank, is a backward-looking measure based on a state’s performance among three important variables: Personal Income Per Capita, Absolute Domestic Migration, and Non-farm Payroll Employment — all highly influenced by state policy. This ranking details states’ individual performances over the past 10 years. The second measure, the Economic Outlook Rank, is a forward-looking forecast based on a state’s current standing in 16 state policy variables, including Top Marginal Personal and Corporate Income Tax Rates, Property and Sales Tax Burdens, and State Minimum Wage."
