Extractions: Date Posted on Thursday, October 26, 2000 1:45:11 PM Although southwest Kansas voters may not have many choices to make on candidates come Election Day, they'll have a big say on how their tax money is to be spent. There aren't many contested races for office, but four area counties - Wichita, Grant, Gray and Haskell - will ask voters to approve the issuance of general obligation bonds for building projects. In Scott City, the question is whether voters will approve a quarter-cent sales tax increase. The funds would be used to fund the Scott County Historical Museum, El Quartelejo. In three counties - Grant, Gary and Haskell - voters will decide whether bond funds should be used to renovate, expand and update school facilities. The Wichita County bond issue also includes a proposal for renovations to the Wichita County Health Center's long-term care unit in Leoti.

This project focused on research of the resources available on the Internet. The end product was an Internet resource guide for use in a K12 media center by students, teachers, and media specialists. By targeting a varied audience, the researcher was able to discover the resources that were availablefor all the people that a media specialist may serve. In addition, the researcher focused on reference and bibliographic sources for students because those resources would benefit the greatest number of students. For media specialists and teachers, she (Sally Moses) chose resources that would support their professions.

The History Of Jim Crow Most school media centers will have one of these videos on Sumner Elementary to Monroeschool, a school for black with her family in Topeka, kansas, and her http://www.jimcrowhistory.org/resources/lessonplans/hs_lp_supremecourtcases.htm
Extractions: By Debbie Dickerson Overview This lesson is to be used with the Jim Crow and the Supreme Court map information on the site. To begin, have students watch the video Separate But Equal or Simple Justice . Most school media centers will have one of these videos on site. Then, from the extensive number of historic court cases listed on the map, students pick one case that interests them. They should then look through the document for key words or names they can search for more information to help determine the origins of the case. Students research the case back to its very personal, local roots to tell the story of the case from its inception. Resources to help students include web sites, newspaper archives, and books. They also may want to contact local historical societies to assist them. This lesson is for middle and high school students with The Rise and Fall of Jim Crow PBS series or after participating in lessons about Jim Crow. Students will need some background information about Jim Crow to understand why these cases were historically significant. Curriculum Standards For a list of standards that this unit addresses

SRI conducted a 2-year study of 100 elementary and secondary classrooms across the U.S. that received Palm Education Pioneer (PEP) technology grants. The classrooms, ranging from kindergarten to high school, used the hand-held computers for a variety of purposes—from taking notes to studying vocabulary words to conducting science experiments. Among the key findings of the survey: 93 percent of the teachers said they believe that handhelds can have a positive impact on students' learning, 95 percent said their students were "very" (66 percent) or "fairly" (29 percent) comfortable using the handhelds, 90 percent plan to continue using handhelds in the classroom post-study, and 72 percent said handhelds are more easily used in the "flow of classroom activity" than desktop computers. The teachers reported some drawbacks to using handhelds in the classroom, mostly related to equipment management, such as inappropriate use of the equipment, general integration issues, usability issues, equipment damage, and the potential for loss or theft. However, the teachers found that precautions such as creating "acceptable use" policies that extended beyond the classroom could counter many of these drawbacks.
School Libraries: Research Findings Doctoral dissertation, kansas State University, 1994. Lance, Keith Curry, 'The impactof school library media centers on academic achievement', school http://www.nswtl.net/info/research/achieve.htm
Extractions: Research on integrated library programs and achievement 9 June, 2001 Abell reported on findings from Mapping literacy achievement: Results of the 1996 national school literacy survey. Higher levels of student achievement were associated with extensive use of the school library in Year 5. Bingham (1994) found that sixth graders who did their research in an integrated social studies program had significantly higher scores than students who did their research in a non-integrated program. Brien (1995) found that a structured approach using intervention strategies gave Year 3 and Year 6 students 'a significant learning advantage' compared to students who did not have instruction of various critical thinking skills embedded in a complex problem solving task. Callison (1979) found that the development of student competence was most effective when classroom instruction was integrated with cooperative planning and team teaching by the teacher and teacher-librarian. Lance (1994?) concluded that test scores increase as teacher-librarians spend more time collaborating with teachers, and providing input into curricula. Not enough is known about the variables in these studies to apply the results to this context, i.e. the RFF versus CPT debate, however similar findings are beginning to accumulate. Oberg found that for Grades 2-5, reading scores began to climb as library use increased. For example the grade 3 class which had the highest circulation and whose teacher had the most collaboration with the librarian had higher scores than another grade three class with low circulation and whose teacher had not collaborated with the librarian.
