Extractions: Governor Carcieri (center) talks with GTech President and CEO Bruce Turner (left) and House Speaker William Murphy (right) after signing the agreement to keep GTech in Rhode Island. The agreement was announced at 5:00pm on Wednesday afternoon. April 9, 2003 Governor Carcieri is working to create more and better jobs for all Rhode Islanders, using three guiding principles. 1 - Turn ideas into jobs. This means using limited state support to grow new businesses through such efforts as the Slater Centers for Excellence, where seasoned business professionals mentor entrepreneurs who have good ideas. In the new budget for fiscal year 2004 the Governor proposes to double the investment in the Slater Centers from $2.5 million to $5 million to spur additional development. In addition, the budget calls for increased support for research at the University of Rhode Island. This state ranks last in the nation for public college and university spending on research and development. The proposed URI Center for Biotechnology and Molecular Biosciences will be available to students from all state-run institutions of higher education (or businesses seeking employee training), preparing them for careers in these growing industries. Companion bills before the legislature will allow public university researchers here, like those in other states, to benefit from the profits their work makes possible.

Rhode Island Health Framework: Teaching And Learning Health to enable her/him to realize continuing education in support of the standards. Thiswill require extensive, cyclical staff development including opportunities http://www.ri.net/RIDE/health/teachinghealth.html
Extractions: TEACHING AND LEARNING HEALTH The preceding section of this Health Education Framework presented seven standards and related student performance descriptions which reflect what all children are expected to know and be able to do. They specify levels of learning far beyond what we have come to regard as acceptable to date. Those higher levels can be achieved only by changing the conditions that determine how well students learn, especially curriculum, instruction, assessment and professional development. CONTENT IN CURRICULUM DESIGN If the standards spell out our expectations as to what we want our children to know and be able to do in health education, then the content is the "what" we want them to know about. Ten nationally accepted health content areas are: 1. Personal health 6. Environmental health 2. Mental and emotional health 7. Disease control and prevention 3. Injury prevention and safety 8. Substance use and abuse 4. Nutrition 9. Consumer health 5. Family life 10.Personal health Additionally, research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has shown that there are six health-related risk behaviors about which students need to be more knowledgeable. They are: Unintentional (motor vehicle-related, fires, drowning) and intentional injuries (interpersonal violence including domestic and child abuse, bullying and fighting, homicide, and suicide);
