Extractions: Oklahoma's Investment in National Energy Priorities DOE's Federal Energy Management Program has helped install solar water heating on federal facilities around the country, such as this one at the Chickasaw National Recreational Area. The state of Oklahoma leverages funding with that from the State Energy Program to participate in several DOE-sponsored initiatives and programs in the buildings and transportation sectors: Clean Cities This DOE program encourages the use of alternative fuel vehicles and building support infrastructure throughout the country. In 2000, Oklahoma is helping Tulsa Clean Cities purchase and operate transit buses running on compressed natural gas (CNG). In 1997, this Clean Cities coalition helped the Tulsa Public School district purchase CNG buses, which now total almost 200 in number. The district pioneered the use of alternative fuel vehicles in Oklahoma throughout the 1990s, and its experience is summarized in an online fact sheet published by Clean Cities titled, Rebuild America
Extractions: Violence and Discipline Problems in U.S. Public Schools: 1996-97 See also Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2002 The sample of public schools for the FRSS Principal/School Disciplinarian Survey on School Violence was selected from the 1993-94 NCES Common Core of Data (CCD) Public School Universe File. Over 84,000 public schools are contained in the CCD Universe File, of which almost 79,000-49,000 regular elementary schools, 14,000 regular middle schools, and 15,801 regular secondary/combined schools in the 50 states and the District of Columbia-meet the eligibility criteria for this study. Excluded from the sampling frame were special education, vocational, and alternative/other schools, schools in the territories, and schools with a high grade lower than one or ungraded. In April 1997 questionnaires were mailed to 1,415 school principals. The principal was asked either to complete the questionnaire or to have it completed by the school disciplinarian who was most knowledgeable about discipline issues at the school. Telephone followup of nonrespondents was initiated in late April, and data collection was completed in July 1997. Eleven schools were found to be out of the scope of the study (no longer in existence), and a total of 1,234 schools completed the survey. Thus, the final raw response rate was 88 percent (1,234 schools divided by the 1,404 eligible schools in the sample). The weighted overall response rate was 89 percent. Weighted item nonresponse rates ranged from percent to 0.9 percent. Because the item nonresponse was so low, imputation for item nonresponse was not implemented.

Extractions: In The Alternative Teaching Mode: Dialogue Is Essential Part 3 The Multiple Paths To Knowing Part 1 - Introduction What is Identity? This article was delivered as a keynote speech at the 1998 Fall Conference: Expressive Arts in Alternative Education footnotes and references are available in a separate browser window - click on footnote numbers throughout text. Overwhelmingly alternative education students are black males, students with independent streaks, students with leadership qualities who often use these qualities for their own ends, and students who see themselves as possessing a multidimensional identity. The adventuresome, opinionated, assertive student who refuses to be pigeonholed. Many of these students have difficulties that include: behavior problems; adjustment difficulties, poor peer interaction, difficulty with authority figures, poor motivation, insecurity and a lack of self-confidence, talk too much or talk too little, are disruptive, destructive, aggressive, and many are chronically irritable/depressed/angry. Can you hear them in this poem (by Jhan Jackson): My Generation My generation is confused.

Distance Learning/Correspondence Programs II. I ndependent ... IV. DETC Accredited High School Programs I. PROPER ACCREDITATION Important: Read this before you proceed! Accreditation is important as a way of validating a given school, or department within a school; it proves the organisation has been thoroughly investigated by a group of impartial experts and found worthy of approval. Accrediting agencies will investigate the mission statement of the organisation, require proof that the school is living up to its mission goals, met its academic standards, and also look into the financial standing of the academic institution. In most other nations, colleges and universities are chartered by their national or provincial governments. Eg., the UK the Open and Distance Learning Quality Council assesses distance learning programs. But the bad news is that investigating accreditation of US schools can be really confusing, like opening a can of worms. There are many different accrediting agencies. Also beware that many "unaccredited" US schools call themselves accredited in their prospectuses and websites.. You really need to understand what the recognised accrediting agencies are. For example, the Department of Education does not accredit any school or institution, it merely "licenses" it or approves it as fulfilling certain legal requirements in order to exist at all, ranging from incorporation to certification or other state approval. Many schools which call themselves accredited private schools are in fact "licensed" schools.

Extractions: by Jerry Mintz May 1999 Naturalists say that the antidote to a poisonous plant is always growing nearby. For example, jewelweed can be found near where poison ivy grows. But if you don't know that jewelweed is the antidote, if you don't even know what you are looking for, then you simply suffer the effects of the poison. At the same time as the massacre was taking place at Columbine High School, in Jefferson County, Colorado, a group of parents, teachers and students who practice educational alternatives commenced their annual get-together just a few miles away, in the mountains overlooking Denver. Within this group could be found the answer, the antidote to the poison which manifested itself in Littleton. The participants in this conference had traveled from schools, programs and homeschools from as far away as Japan. This conference of the National Coalition of Alternative Community Schools is unlike any other which takes place in the United States. The majority of these educators are students. Half of the board members of the organization are students. These representatives of small alternative schools and homeschoolers have long since solved the problems which created the Littleton shootings. For example, they all learned to be adept at conflict resolution. At the conference, itself, any problems which arose went immediately to a mediation committee of children and adults, where each point of view was heard, the problem resolved, and the anger and frustration dissipated.

Extractions: Central Oklahoma Clean Cities Central Oklahoma received its U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Clean Cities designation May 29, 1996. It is the nation's first Clean Cities "region" and 48th officially recognized Clean Cities program. History The history of Central Oklahoma's Clean Cities program is a unique story of partnership, political bipartisanship, and stakeholder loyalty and is a shining example of the public and private sectors working toward a common goal across political party lines. In 1995, two of Oklahoma's most highly respected elected officials were serving in Congress. The late Rep. Mike Synar (D), served in the House from 1979 until his death in 1995. Sen. Don Nickles (R), has served Oklahoma since 1981. Although of differing political persuasions and viewpoints, one issue of vital interest to both was Oklahoma's position as the nation's third largest natural gas producer. Following the volatile oil markets of the 1970s and the 1986 collapse of the U.S. domestic oil industry, Petroleum Violation Escrow account monies (also known as oil overcharge funds) were being distributed to states by the federal government to implement energy conservation programs and renewable energy development. This environment gave birth to DOE's Clean Cities alternative fuel program. With Clean Cities and its emphasis on alternatives to gasoline and diesel fuel, Synar and Nickles saw an opportunity to promote the state's abundant natural gas resources. Model Legislation As DOE officials approached state officials across the country to introduce the Clean Cities program, the wheels for the formation of a unique partnership were set in motion. The partnership included Nickles, Synar, Oklahoma state legislators, then Gov. David Walters, the Oklahoma Department of Commerce, and Oklahoma's two largest metropolitan area Councils of Government.

Extractions: Continued As for parental involvement, both the Dowell and the non-Dowell schools saw the number of parent-teacher conferences increase by the same percentage over the decade, the assistant superintendent says. PTA membership, attendance at school open houses, and business-school partnerships rose for both groups, but at a faster rate in the non-Dowell schools. "We make a tremendous effort to promote parental involvement, with the Dowell schools and the other schools in the district," Mr. Sconzo says. But some criticize the district's approach. Since being released from the court desegregation order, "the district has shown a pattern of relinquishing its responsibilities for ensuring [students'] equity of access," says researcher Jennifer Jelliston, who wrote a report on what she terms the "resegregation" of the district's elementary schools published in fall 1996 by the Harvard Project on School Desegregation, in Cambridge, Mass. Ms. Jelliston, who is now a doctoral student in educational policy at the University of California, Los Angeles, studied district data on the Dowell and non-Dowell elementary schools between 1987 and 1995.
