Extractions: Our Partners ... PromiseFellows> AmeriCorps Promise Fellows Class One Highlights The first class of more than 450 AmeriCorps Promise Fellows served in almost every state and on three Native American reservations, fulfilling all Five Promises for youth. At the same time, they equipped communities with better programs and strategies and more resources to meet the critical needs of families and children. They engaged more citizens, particularly children and youth, in service to their communities, schools and neighborhoods. The following are a few highlights, success stories, and reflections on the accomplishments of Class One: From the Community's Perspective: "Without the consistent planning and outreach of an AmeriCorps Promise Fellow, our Promise efforts would not be at the level which they are...Truly one of the most gratifying successes is watching existing agencies collaborate and grow as we connect them and their common goals. The area children are truly benefiting from the Promise initiative and the momentum our Promise Fellow has brought."

Extractions: Preliminary Guidance for Migrant Education Program, Title I, Part C Public Law 103-382 To help all children reach high academic standards, many states, school districts, and schools will need a new kind of technical assistance. They will need comprehensive assistance that is driven by the needs of families and children and that can provide tools and information to help them leverage all available resources in order to improve teaching and learning for all children. To that end, the Department is creating regional technical assistance centers to provide comprehensive, high-quality assistance and information. The Depart ment is also changing the way it relates to the field by shifting its focus from monitoring for compliance to providing support to enhance program quality. The Office of Elementary and Secondary Education (OESE), which houses the Office of Migrant Education, has a new organizational structure that is built around ten regional service teams. Existing program offices, including the Office of Migrant Education, will retain a small program base, but will provide most services to OESE grantees through teams that have staff with expertise in OESE's programs. This new structure signals a new relationship with states and local operating agencies. Rather than focus on providing program-specific advice, the restructured OESE will use cross-program teams to encourage and support state and local efforts to integra te services and collaborate across programs. In anticipation of this change, OESE began in 1994-95 to conduct integrated reviews of federally funded education programs. Integrated reviews are on-site observations and assessments performed by a team of s taff members from two or more program offices within the Department. Each focused on the progress of systemic reform efforts within a state and explored how individual federal programs fit within that broad reform effort. The Office of Migrant Education participated in all of the initial integrated reviews.

Extractions: The Northeast Nancy Vigezzi School Analyses (the competition) Suggested Curriculum (the competitive applicant) To the outside world, the job of a librarian seems simple enough. Putting books away and answering questions seems to be all that is required. But one needs only to read all of the qualifications in a librarian job advertisement to see that this profession is much more involved. The profession of librarian today requires a much more technical base than ever before. After collecting and reading job ads from 7 states (New York, New Hampshire, Vermont, Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island and Massachusetts), I realized that there are many, many types of positions that librarians can hold. The ads were collected over a period of 8 weeks and divided into 5 categories: Academic, Public, School, Special and Non-library. They were then charted with the degree required, experience needed, skills, salary and any additional pertinent information. There were many similarities in the job descriptions within a job category. Most of the job listings had the following similar requirements regardless of job title, type of library or location:
