• W21496523 abstract "Long Beach, California is home to three large educational institutions, Long Beach Unified School District, Long Beach City College, and California State University, Long Beach. This article presents a case of sustained educational improvement initiatives over the past four years that have moved parents and community to higher standards for all students. Lead by Long Beach Unified School District, California's third largest and fastest growing large urban district, the three institutions have partnered to bring about Long Beach's successful initiatives which all focus on improving student achievement, behavior and dress. The article describes the Long Beach community and its education institutions in greater detail, the various improvement initiatives underway, and the initial successes being recorded. A single initiative and the role of the local community partnership in supporting the efforts of the school district to improve student achievement in written composition is then featured. Finally, the value-added effect of collaboration for all the partners and lessons learned are shared. Last year, a Public Agenda research study (1997) revealed that there is a serious disconnect between what school reformers preach and value and what parents and the public want with regard to school reform. The standards movement is a good case in point. The current discussion centers on the usual turf fight about whether state or national politicians can do it better suggesting that the mere adoption of standards handed down from on high will drive serious reform at the local level. Nothing could be further from the truth. Genuine school improvement at the local level is moving forward in several key communities around the country without waiting for governors, Presidents, and national commissions to resolve their differences. High standards are being adopted at the local level, K-16 collaboratives are moving forward with unprecedented levels of university/school district and local business cooperation, and concrete results suggest that kids in local schools are dressing better, behaving better, and achieving at higher levels. The Long Beach Unified School District, California's third largest and fastest growing large urban district, presents a case of sustained improvement initiatives over the past four years that have moved parents and community to higher standards for all students while state and national politicians continue to debate their differences. Long Beach's successful initiatives include several main thrusts which all focus on improving student dress, behavior, and achievement. The first section of this article describes the Long Beach community and its education institutions in greater detail. The second section describes the various improvement initiatives underway, and the initial successes being recorded. The third section will focus on a single initiative and the role of the local community partnership in supporting the efforts of the school district to improve student achievement in written composition. Finally, the value-added effect of collaboration for all the partners will be addressed. The Education Institutions of Long Beach, California Long Beach is a diverse urban community of approximately 430,000 people. The city has a highly successful port, but is slowly recovering from a serious economic slump brought on by the recession in California in general, but even more directly by the withdrawal of the Naval Station and Shipyard and the down-sizing of the aircraft industry. The school district's 86,000 K-12 student population is richly diverse, with a mix of 40.5% Hispanic, 20.3% African American, 19.4% white, 14.2% Asian, 2% Pacific Islander, 3.2% Filipino, and ,4% American Indian. The growth has been primarily among Hispanic students, with all other groups remaining relatively constant. The district has been racially and ethnically diverse for many years. …" @default.
