Toward a K-20 Student Unit Record Data System for California

By: Georges Vernez

To improve the progression of students through the educational system and to improve education quality, California needs a robust data system that can track an individual student's progress from kindergarten to college and beyond. The authors review California's multiple existing student data systems and identify steps that could be taken toward building and maintaining an integrated student data system for the state.

Immigrant Women in the U.S. Workforce

Who Struggles? who Succeeds?

By: Georges Vernez

This book represents a first effort to systematically describe the experience of immigrant women in the U.S. labor market over the past thirty years. It may come as a surprise that the United States is currently home to more immigrant women than immigrant men. However, until this study was conducted, the attention of analysts and policymakers has focused solely on the labor performance of immigrant men. Georges Vernez's analysis of immigrant women's experience is the first to break this trend, revealing a complex story that resists easy interpretation. Some immigrant women succeed beyond all expectations, while others struggle all their lives and have little to show for it. In examining the myriad factors that contribute to the success and failure of immigrant women in the U.S. workforce, this book provides a profile of their changing origin and characteristics; describes what they do, where they work, and how they fare in the U.S. labor market; and looks at the use they make of public services to support themselves.

Implementation of the Asthma Practice Guideline in the Army Medical Department

Evaluation of Process and Effects

By: Donna O. Farley,Shan Cretin,Georges Vernez,Suzanne Pieklik,Elaine Quiter

In partnership with the Army Medical Department, RAND worked to implement clinical practice guidelines. This report evaluates the asthma guideline demonstration. It documents the actions, assesses effects, and measures the quality and limitations of data for monitoring outcomes. The authors found that the implementation scored successes but resource limitations and organizational barriers curbed progress. They conclude that flexibility, monitoring, and training are the keys to implementing the guidelines. They also found that patient education needed improvement.

Reauthorizing No Child Left Behind

Facts and Recommendations

By: Brian M. Stecher,Georges Vernez

Studies suggest that the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001's goal of 100 percent of U.S. students proficient in reading and mathematics by 2014 will not be met. The authors recommend more-uniform state academic standards and teacher requirements and broader measures of student learning, including more subjects and tests of higher-thinking and problem-solving skills.

Evaluating Comprehensive School Reform Models at Scale

Focus on Implementation

By: Georges Vernez,Rita Karam,Louis T. Mariano

This study was designed to fill the "implementation measurement" gap. We developed a methodology to quantitatively measure the level of CSR implementation that can be used across a variety of CSR models, and we then applied this methodology to measure actual implementation of four different CSR models in a large number of schools. The study also compared the extent to which actual practices in curriculum, instruction, governance, grouping of students, assessment of students, and parent involvement differed between schools using these four models and a sample of matched comparison schools that did not use the models.

Federal Activities in Urban Economic Development

By: Georges Vernez,Roger J. Vaughan,Robert K. Yin

Deals exclusively with federal policies and programs. There is a continuing and pervasive regional and suburban decentralization of population and employment accompanied by a convergence in per capita income among areas. Slow growth or decline has led to fiscal strains in some cities, necessitating either service cutbacks or increased taxes, or both. Federal policies on procurement, capital depreciation, and housing have generally reinforced regional and suburban decentralization. Primary influence is exercised not by the modest cluster of direct programs but by, e.g., federal purchase, tax expenditures, and regulatory policies. Direct programs have had only moderate effects on development. Large, multipurpose programs successfully address only one class of problem. They often fail to aid the economically disadvantaged. Four major policy issues deserve further analysis: job creation and worker mobility, fiscal assistance to local government, aid to specific places, and geographical considerations in policy formulation.
