School Improvement Grants (SIGs) are authorized under section 1003 of Title I of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015. Funds are awarded on a competitive basis to school corporations with schools identified for Comprehensive School Improvement (CSI) or Targeted School Improvement (TSI). In the 2021-2022 academic year, the Indiana Department of Education (IDOE) introduced the Next Gen SIG to provide funds to local education agencies (LEAs) with the strongest commitment to transform students’ traditional educational experience into one that more strategically aligns to students’ academic and personal needs.

Sociological perspectives/theories – worth knowing well because you’ll be apply to APPLY this knowledge to lots of the questions in other sections Consensus theory A perspective such as functionalism that sees society is based on agreement. i.e. shared norms and values are the “social glue” that lead to social order Conflict theory A perspective such as Marxism or feminism that sees society based on disagreement i.e. powerful groups exploit and oppress the rest of society Functionalism A consensus theory that sees society based on shared values into which members are socialised. It sees society like a human body: each institution performs functions that benefit wider society. E.g. family and education socialise individuals Marxism A conflict theory based on the work of Karl Marx. Sees capitalist society divided into two classes. The ruling class oppress and exploit the working class. Feminism A conflict theory that focuses on women’s oppression in a patriarchal (male headed) society. Nature/nurture An important debate within social sciences is whether behaviour is the result of ‘nature’ (biology/inherited characteristics) or ‘nurture’ (our experiences/upbringing etc)
