| General Notes | Reports that CaliforniaÕs public school system can be used as a model of how education can be strengthened amid the current recession. Helps policymakers and advocates in California understand PreK-3rd strategies -- the promise of leading reform efforts, the obstacles and the steps states can take to overcome them. Recommends 13 steps, many of which are relatively low cost and may even help California compete for federal education grants, such as the Race to the Top program and the proposed Early Learning Challenge fund. |
