- W249583834 abstract "The article examines the innovative project proposals that have been funded by the first Charter College of Education in the nation. Innovative programs does help the College accomplish its mission in providing learner-centered environment and promoting collaboration. Introduction Charter schools are public, nonsectarian schools that operate under a written contract from a local school board or other organization (Nathan, 1997). The Charter College of Education (CCOE) at California State University, Los Angeles (CSLA) is the first School of Education in the United States to become an official charter school among higher education institutions (CCOE, 1995). K-12 charter public schools are given autonomy from regulations in exchange for accountability for results to the charter-granting state or local school districts that provide them with public funds for a specified time period (OERI, 1998). In the same way, the California State University System allowed the CCOE to be free from many system and University policies in order to fulfill its charter mission of becoming a more effective school of education (Hafner & Slovacek, 1998). Charter schools are a way to make public schools more creative, flexible and responsive to the needs of students (Riley, 1996). Charter schools offer professional opportunities to teachers and autonomy of operation by professional educators under shared decision-making (Bierlein & Mulholland, 1994). Charter schools are given autonomy from mandates and regulations to employ appropriate strategies and exploit new ways of accomplishing desired results, including student achievement. The most common innovations found in charter schools are related to instructional strategies, site-based governance, and parental participation (Corwin & Flaherty, 1995). The best part about charter schools is that they encourage innovation (Andrews & Rothman, 2002; Soares et al., 2000). It is this very aspect of charter schools that this article is written about innovative ideas proposed by the faculty in the Charter College of Education. As a way of accomplishing its mission, the CCOE has set aside an earmarked fund for the Innovative Initiative Awards Program each year since 1997-98. Each year, an ad-hoc committee of faculty and staff reviews the proposals and funds the promising projects and activities that represent innovation or improvement upon educational practices. The committee reviewed projects making contributions to the mission of the Charter College of Education, which includes focus on learner-centered outcomes and elements of collaboration, more favorably. Eleven proposals were funded in 1997-98, six in 1998-99, and eight in 1999-2000. The number of the proposals funded is determined by the level of funding requested from the proposed project members and the amount of the funds allocated for the Innovative Initiative Awards Program, which were augmented by the lottery funds. The purpose of the chapter is to examine the innovative project proposals that have been funded by the CCOE to determine if they helped the CCOE accomplish its mission. This chapter first briefly describes the innovative initiatives funded by the CCOE during the past three years. Then the chapter examines these funded initiatives to determine how they address the CCOE’s priorities (learner-centered and collaboration). The chapter concludes with the result of the" @default.
