Extractions: We convened an advisory panel of ten local high school science department heads with the goal of defining the role of a CATTS Fellow. The panel identified the following areas for a fellow to contribute: integrating extended research projects in the high school curriculum; interacting directly with students in small groups in the classroom or with groups outside of class (science clubs, science fair, etc.); modeling the process of doing science, and helping students to learn how scientists think and work to solve problems; serve as a role model and a source of information about college studies and careers; and assist with ongoing projects including: Supporting research classes or research projects occurring within a traditional class For example, a local teacher received a Toshiba grant to study and map light pollution in the Tucson Basin. A fellow with a background in astronomy could work on a regular basis with teachers and students on experiment design, data collection, analysis, and publication. Alternatively, a fellow in residence could help students develop and carry out environmental science investigations in the wetlands at three local high schools. A fellow would be a valuable knowledge source, and guide to outside resources for teachers and students in this role. Assistance with technology integration into the curriculum There is great demand for a fellow to work with teachers or small groups of students to more effectively integrate technology in the classroom. Teachers need help to integrate concepts related to design, manufacturing and application of technology. Additionally, a fellow is needed to work with small groups of students to improve skills of data collection and analysis using computer driven instruments.

Extractions: The business and education leaders who come together to form this historic coalition recognize that our K-12 schools are the heart and soul of our economy and the key to sustaining and enhancing our quality of life, Superintendent of Public Instruction Jaime A. Molera said. This group of leaders recognizes that in order to improve education for every Arizona child, we must have a system that provides meaningful resources and meaningful accountability. The formation of the Arizona Business and Education Coalition is tied to the general Valley-wide business coalition efforts to address key issue areas. The Greater Phoenix Leadership is leading the charge on education, so its support of the creation of ABEC was a natural evolution. GPL, along with the Southern Arizona Leadership Council (SALC), are unified around the coalition. We believe that the Arizona Business and Education Coalition is the right organization at the right time to lead Arizona to substantial improvement in our K-12 education system. We will do everything we can to make ABEC highly successful, said Tom Browning, President and Executive Director of GPL, along with Bob Johnston, Executive Director of SALC.

AFT: New Members: K-12 Teachers: Charter Schools charter schools provide more accountability and efficiency than traditional publicschools, recent studies of charter schools in arizona, California, Michigan http://www.aft.org/newmembers/k12/charter.html
Extractions: Charter schools Charter schools are supposed to allow parents and teachers to develop publicly funded schools with the flexibility to be innovative and free of rules and regulations that stifle creativity. The charter school movement has grown from one school in Minnesota in 1992 to about 1,100 charter schools across the country today. Currently, 36 states and the District of Columbia have legislation authorizing the creation of charter schools. The notion of what constitutes a charter school continues to evolve. The original idea for charter schools envisioned a group of teachers, perhaps with the help of parents, developing a plan for a school and applying for a charter from the local school board. Charter schools might have a specific academic focus (e.g., math and science or the arts) or employ specific teaching techniques or target a specific group of students (e.g., at-risk). These charter schools would operate as part of the local public school district, supported by public education funds. However, many charter schools depart from this original vision. If the goal is improved student achievement, students in some charter schools are not faring very well. Studies of charter schools in Texas and Arizona show that there has been no evidence of improved student performance among charter school students. A 1998 UCLA study of California charter schools found that charter schools rarely had clearly defined goals or standards and none was "doing more with less" money. In addition, the charter schools exerted considerable control over the types of students they serve. Unlike other public schools, they’re not taking all comers. In Michigan, researchers found that because of weak monitoring efforts, poorly performing charter schools are not likely to be closed.

Extractions: The Arizona Business and Education Coalition Formed Long-term effort to address Arizonas K-12 Education challenges March 25, 2002 - Business and education leaders from across the state gathered at the State Capitol on March 25, 2002 to announce an unprecedented alliance that will focus its energy and resources on the success of the K-12 education system in Arizona. While partnership efforts between the two groups - business and education - have been tried in the past, Craig Barrett, CEO of the Intel Corporation, noted that the formation of the Arizona Business and Education Coalition marks the start of a comprehensive and long-term effort to bring about quantifiable change in the system. ABEC affirms Arizonas commitment to creating a well-educated workforce and a vital society, said Barrett. As business and education leaders, we have opened this dialogue because we believe that the quality of our future civic, social and economic life depends on the quality of education available to all students at all levels of our educational system, now and in the future. "An ongoing partnership between the Arizona business community and our education community is critical, said Governor Jane Dee Hull. Both must work hand-in-hand to move Arizona forward in this global economy."
