Interventions and Grant WritingKnowledge Is Power Programme for improved student achievement in Mathematics.Under the federal school reform legislation, educators are required to select and implement evidence-based interventions. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) is one source of information for evidence-based interventions and was established by the American Department of Educations Institute of Education Sciences. WWC purposes of providing education consumers with a source of scientific evidence of what works in education, to promote informed decision making in education through databases and reports that provide an overview of educational interventions effectiveness (programs, practices, products, and policies), which are intended to improve student achievement. This paper will evaluate an intervention method known as the Knowledge Is Power Programme (KIPP) and its application to improve student achievement in mathematics at all school levels.Knowledge Is Power Programme (KIPP)DescriptionThis program is a non-profit network of about 200 or more public charter schools that educate early childhood,…...

These steps have been reiterated within the effectual conditions in the market. The marketing techniques used normally relate to the essential features of reflecting the best approaches of work within the government. This happens as done in the United States of America and many other nations that strive to live within a sound mechanism of growth and development in the field. As a way reflecting the best forms of performance, it has become a common feature to analyze the consequences of the Federal grants in aid programs under the legal frameworks and other humanitarian theories. These are theories that try to bring the best forms of growth and development in the field (Araral et al., 2001).
The policy problems that can be reflected in such a way are those related to the equality to access and make use of the grants as offered by the government. The mechanisms of performance…...

School Grant Programs
On May 22, 2012, the Secretary of Education made public the U.S. Department of Education's (ED) intention to build upon recent achievements in education through the ace to the Top-State programs (ED, 2012a) by offering an additional $383 million in grant funding to local school districts in 2012 (ED, 2012b). The goal of the ace to the Top District (TT-D) Competition is to continue advancing bold innovation and educational standards made possible through state ace to the Top grants. This essay examines the requirements and criteria that must be met in order to apply to the TT-D program.
Eligibility equirements
Eligibility for applying to the TT-D is limited to Local Education Agencies (LEAs) or a consortium of LEAs (ED, 2012c). Based on Title IX, Section 9101, subsection 26, an LEA is defined as a public board of education or other public agency tasked with administering…...

federal grant application process. According to Grants.gov, a federal grant is an award of financial assistance from a federal agency to a recipient "to carry out a public purpose of support or stimulation authorized by a law of the United States."
The grant process is detailed and specific, with rules that must be closely adhered to. Although a few individuals receive federal grants, most federal grants are awarded to organizations, institutions, and state and local governments planning major projects that will benefit specific sectors of the population or the community as a whole. Organizations that receive government grants are subject to strict government oversight. They must meet detailed government performance standards during the duration of the project and funding period of the grant. Failure on the part of the grant recipient to perform under the requirements of the grant can result in penalties that range from economic sanctions to prison…...
Educational Grants
chool districts across the country are experiencing shrinking budgets. One way to increase the funds available for education is to apply for educational grants. They can take many forms, including those requiring rigorous research designs as well as others that might provide funds for equipment or the money to implement promising but unproven programs.
Two organizations that provide educational grant money are the Beaumont Foundation of America and the Institute of Education ciences.
The Institute of Educational ervices (IE) requires an extensive application and applies rigorous scientific research principles when considering which applications to fund. Their specific focus is to increase the body of knowledge regarding best practices in education. Their goal is to fund research being done in the "practice community" -- that is, schools and school districts (IE, 2005). They have a preference for rigorously controlled studies that involve students from multiple schools who are randomly assigned to either…...

GRANT FUNDERS Grant FundersAfter accessing the Foundation Center Directory, International Directory of Company Histories (Johnson, 2019), volume 206 was opened. The list of many companies who have contributed to the history and modern times of the American economy is presented. According to their ranks, the following five potential grantmakers are enlisted below, 1 being the strongest potential while five being the weakest.1. PT Gudang Garam Tbk is one of the well-known cigarette-making companies that specifically produces kretek- clove-flavored cigarettes- being the foundations of its $83.3 trillion revenues for 2017 (Johnson, 2019, p. 355). With the estimation of its Indonesian market and the smokers around the world who smoke its produced cigarettes, 67%, it makes it the most suitable potential grantmaker in this list. Its rank is number 1 since the profits speak for its reasons. The market position of this company is the strongest in the market. Among its competitors,…...

Block grants
Block grants can be defined as a kind of grant-in-aid employed by the federal government to provide state governments, as well as local governments, a detailed and quantified amount of funding. The purposes of these grants are to address social services, community development, and public health. The advantages of block grants include enhancing government efficiency, redistribution of authority, and accountability by means of decentralization (Dilger and Boyd, 2009). The disadvantages of block grants include the notion that they can weaken the attainment of nationwide goals and can also be employed as a back door means to decrease government expenditure on domestic problems (Dilger and Boyd, 2009). Examples of block grants include the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Block Grant and Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC).

Railroad Land Grants: Economically Justified?
The American government's land grant policy and provision of subsidies to private railroad companies in the nineteenth century has been the subject of much discussion by historians and economists alike. However, few writers have examined the economic issues involved in the subsidies in detail, leading at times to the wrong conclusions. Lloyd J. Mercer, a rofessor of Economics at the University of California (Santa Barbara) is one of the select few who have attempted to carry out an economic analysis of the land-grants policy in order to determine whether the policy was economically justified and socially beneficial. This paper summarizes the professor's article Land Grants to American Railroads: Social Cost or Social Benefit (1969) by identifying the main thoughts of the author followed by a critical analysis of what he has suggested in the article.
Summary
rofessor Mercer disagrees with the commonly held view of most historians that…...
mlaPerhaps, due to the reason that economics is not an exact science, the economic theories and analysis of economists often suffer from the personal political leanings of the economist. For example, if an economist is a "leftist" he would tend to favor social welfare and economic equality through his work while a proponent of laissez faire economy would tend to justify minimal government interference in the market through his work. Professor Mercer's analysis of the railroad land grants too seems to suffer from such a bias as he justifies the land grants and subsidies as a profitable deal for the public while ignoring the unsavory aspects of the issue such as price fixing, illegal kickbacks, real estate speculation, tax evasion et al. By the big business interests.

Organizations and Grants
You are more likely to receive grants if you can write good proposals that provide a holistic description of the programs you run in your organization. However, it should be noted that you may have great writing skills, but fail in the overall design of the programs. Similarly, if the program is well designed but the proposal is written poorly, the chances of securing funding diminish. Well written proposals must be accompanied with well designed programs (Kansas State University, 2015).
The Development of Grant Applications and Their Locations
A lot has come to light with regard to the way government agencies and foundations provide funding (The Kansas State University (2015). Finding funding agencies that cater for the needs of your type of organization is important. The format of the proposal and the amount that can be availed varies between organizations. One of the qualities of a good application…...

This journal article examines personal bankruptcy filings and compares the data obtained to determine what effect, if any, casino gambling may have had on said filings. The authors used the bankruptcy filings from the jurisdictions having legalized casino gambling and compared these filing with bankruptcy filings from jurisdictions without legalized casino gambling. According to the authors, personal bankruptcy filings increased in seven of the eight jurisdictions that had legal casino gambling and that in five of these seven there was a statistical significance. An interesting exception was noted by the article in that in one jurisdiction, iloxi, Mississippi, which had legal casino gambling, personal bankruptcies actually decreased. In the article the authors examined the reasons behind this unusual development and argued that the unique nature of the community…...
Public Health -- Social Issues -- Statement of Need for a Cbo
Undocumented immigrants to the United States, including undocumented LGBTQI immigrants, are put down and kept down by the current system of apprehension, detention and post-detention abuse/negligence. Consequently, they need effective advocacy to reduce the number of detained undocumented immigrants, spur legislative and regulatory changes, improve standards of detention conditions and provide effective oversight of detention conditions. Furthermore, upon their release from detention, undocumented immigrants desperately need advocacy for health, legal and social service navigation.
There are approximately 11.2 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, with the largest numbers living in California, Texas, Florida, and New York. In addition, about four million U.S.-born citizen children have at least one undocumented parent; these "mixed status" families account for almost half of all families with undocumented adults (odrguez, Young and Wallace). Many migrants are seeking asylum from persecution by gangs in their…...

Despite all of the destruction and chaos that had crippled the South as a result of the war and his surrender to Grant, Lee was considered "the symbol of everything for which (the Confederate soldiers) had been willing to die." Thus, "if the Lost Cause," being the loss of the Old South and its aristocratic/slavery system, "sanctified by so much heroism and so many deaths, had a living justification," it was obert E. Lee (Catton, 2003, 632).
In contrast, Ulysses S. Grant "was everything Lee was not," for instead of being raised in a rather well-to-do family with close and important ties to a number of wealthy and prominent Southern political figures and leaders, Grant, the son of a skin tanner of the Western American frontier, had been raised "the hard way" and symbolized the "eternal toughness" and sinewy fiber" of the great mountain men, those who had fled civilization…...

Based on an understanding of the facts about immigration in the modern-day United States, this would be a good topic for a thesis statement on immigration reform: Modern immigration rules and laws favor immigrants from some countries over others and place a significant financial burden on prospective immigrants and on those who would sponsor them; removing some of those financial burdens would incentivize legal immigration and therefore reduce the number of people seeking to enter the country as undocumented immigrants, helping resolve the country’s undocumented immigrant problem.

One of the more shameful moments in American history was the establishment of internment camps for Japanese-Americans during World War II. Ostensibly started because the United States was at war with Japan, it is interesting to note that there were no similar internment camps for people of Italian or German descent, despite the fact that Italy and Germany were also part of the Axis powers that fought against the Allies in World War II.
Prior to World War II, Japanese began immigrating to America for work opportunities. They initially immigrated to Hawaii, which was annexed by the United....

We would really love to know which country you are writing about, because the immigrant experience varies tremendously depending on both the country of origin and the destination country. There are other factors that can impact the psychological impact of the immigrant experience as well. Is a person immigrating with their family or on their own? Will they be able to have continued contact with their family? What are the reasons for immigrating? Is the immigrant escaping trauma, such as in many refugee scenarios, moving for better economic opportunities, or moving for another reason? All....
