RECONCEPTUALIZE VOCABULARY DEVELOPMENT Students entering the milieu of postsecondary education need to understand from the onset that the fundamental avenue for academic success is the ability to expand their vocabulary quickly (Stahl et al, 1987). Hence, college learning specialists must provide experiences that immerse students in (1) the "language of the academy" (e.g., terms such as bursar, financial aid); (2) the "language of the educated" or the advanced general vocabulary used by scholars as they communicate; and (3) the specialized "languages of the disciplines" or those unique technical terms which permit scholars within a field to communicate effectively and efficiently.

A r c h i v e d I n f o r m a t i o n FOR RELEASE: March 1, 1999 Contact: Melinda Kitchell Malico 1994 TITLE I CHANGES PRODUCED HIGHER STANDARDS, TARGETED FUNDS AND IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDENT LEARNING The impact of standards-based reform - supported by Title I, the federal government's largest elementary and secondary education program - is evident in improved achievement among poor and low-achieving students, the U.S. Department of Education reported today in Promising Results, Continuing Challenges: Findings from the National Assessment of Title I. "Poverty places children at a severe educational disadvantage," said U.S. Secretary of Education Richard W. Riley. "Prior to 1994, Title I was a separate remedial program that condoned low standards and low expectations for its students. At-risk children need and deserve the very best teachers, the most enriching curriculum, extra time to learn and the challenge of high expectations. Today we see evidence of higher student achievement in districts and states that have set challenging standards. Title I is helping forge strong partnerships between states and local districts to raise standards for all students." The 1994 reauthorization of Title I was designed to transform the program by aligning it with the best efforts of state and local school systems to improve teaching and learning for children at risk of school failure.

CONCLUDING COMMENTS INTRODUCTION W Since a child entering preschool in 2002 can expect to graduate from high school in 2016 and, if he or she chooses, complete her or his bachelor's degree in 2020, our Master Plan must anticipate the learning needs of Californians far into the future. It is beyond our ability to know with precision the learning needs of Californians in 2020; however, we can and we must make our best attempt to envision what those future needs will be and craft an educational blueprint that helps frame the decisions we make today through anticipating the needs of tomorrow.

WHAT DOES IT TAKE? TITLE I SCHOOLWIDE PROGRAMS In 1994, Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act was reauthorized in ways that provide strong levers for ensuring a quality education for students served by Title I. The law relaxed the income requirements schools must meet in order to become schoolwide programs. Schools that have fifty percent or more low income students can use their Title I funds to improve the educational program of the entire school, rather than targeting their assistance. This rule represents a great possibility for change, but requires proper planning, implementation and vigilance. Planning for schoolwide programs is an in-depth process, for which the law spells out specific requirements. Schools implementing schoolwide programs must conduct needs assessments and develop comprehensive plans to meet the needs of various constituencies in the school. All planning and implementation must be done with the goal of making substantial yearly progress toward getting all students to meet high state standards. Specific school level requirements for schools implementing schoolwide programs follow:

S chool I mprovement R esearch S eries (SIRS) Research You Can Use Close-Up #10 Computer-Assisted Instruction Kathleen Cotton "There was a time when computers were a luxury item for American schools, but that time has clearly passed." Bangert-Drowns, Kulik, and Kulik, 1985 INTRODUCTION Not so long ago, the microcomputer was a rare and exotic sight in American classrooms. Then, during the 1970s, many schools began acquiring microcomputers and putting them to use for instruction, drill and practice, recordkeeping, and other applications. The use of microcomputers expanded rapidly during the 1980s. Between 1981 and the end of the decade: American schools acquired over two million microcomputers. The number of schools owning computers increased from approximately 25 percent to virtually 100 percent. More than half the states began requiringor at least recommendingpreservice technology programs for all prospective teachers (Kinnaman 1990). "The ‘information age' has clearly arrived," notes Kinnaman, "and in the '90s the educational use of computer technology will surely continue to grow." While this is no doubt an accurate prediction, many educators, legislators, parents, and researchers have expressed concern about the educational effectiveness of using microcomputers in schools. Because the acquisition of computer hardware and educational software programs involves a considerable monetary investment, these groups want assurance that computers in the schools are more than expensive and entertaining toys; they desire evidence that educational microcomputer use truly enhances learning in demonstrable ways.

Georgia Alternative Teacher Preparation Program Georgia offers educator certificates in three categories: Teaching fields, Leadership fields and Service fields. Teaching Fields - Teaching certificates are issued in fields that prepare an individual to teach the subject matter offered as a part of the school curriculum. These fields qualify under GATAPP. Leadership Programs - These programs prepare individuals to administer or supervise a school system, school or school program. These advanced level certification programs require eligibility for a teaching or service clear renewable certificate and do not qualify under the GATAPP program. Service Fields - These programs prepare individuals to provide support services to students, school personnel and school operations. These certification programs are not available under the GATAPP program. Description of Teaching Field Options Elementary Education - The State of Georgia does not prepare nor certify teachers for Elementary Education. Individuals interested in this developmental range of learners should investigate either Early Childhood or Middle Grades education programs.

Illiterate (School-Produced) Workforce Hampers Nation's Economy by Regna Lee Wood September 1996 If the quality of this nation's work force is still part of the equation used to determine U.S. prospects for material well being, why haven't many federal and state policymakers considered these frightening 1992 National Adult Literacy Survey findings, available since the U.S. Department of Education released them in September 1993? 87 percent of 58 million Americans "Out of the Work Force" (those not in totals for unemployed because they don't look for jobs) are in the illiterate or barely literate Levels I and II (out of five levels). 52 percent of the 58 million are in the illiterate Level I. 75 percent of 21 million adults on welfare are in those same "can't read" or "barely read" Levels I and II. 80 percent of 20 million black and Hispanic adults are in these basement literacy Levels I and II. Forty five percent of the black adults and 55 percent of the Hispanics over 16 are in the illiterate Level I. 52 percent of 59 million high-school graduates and 31 percent of 40 million adults with some college credits scored in the lowest Levels I and II on the Survey test. This confirmed May 1991 congressional hearings on postsecondary education that established "illiteracy" as a major cause for $13 billion in defaults on college and trade-school loans. Presumably, illiteracy is still a primary reason for what has now grown to be $22 billion in defaults on college and trade-school loans.

The Relationship Between Phonics And Phonemic AwarenessBeginning And Remedial Re and phonemic awareness Beginning and remedial reading instruction of a program toteach phonemic awareness Explicit vs implicit instruction in phonemic awareness http://www.educationnews.org/relationship_between_phonics_and.htm

The Internet’s Leading Source of EducationNews Daily News Message Board Free On-Line Subscription Home ... Contact Us The relationship between phonics and phonemic awareness Beginning and remedial reading instruction: The intertwined roles of phonics and phonemic awareness. By Dr. Kerry Hempenstall The debate about the role of phonics in beginning reading instruction has had a long and stormy history. However, research over the past twenty years has been sufficiently sound to allow firm conclusions about the necessity of phonics instruction. Recently, consensus has also been achieved within educational communities that these findings should be enshrined in educational policy and practice. Questions that now arise are (1) what kind of phonics does the evidence support? What is meant by explicit, implicit, embedded, systematic, analytic, synthetic? (2) What is the relationship between phonics and phonemic awareness? (3) What does the research indicate about older struggling readers? Over the last ten to twenty years there has been increasing consensus about reading success and failure. Reviews by Hurford, et al., 1993; and Mann, 1993 have noted that the presence or absence of phonemic awareness predicts the future membership of good/bad reader categories, and discriminates good readers from poor readers. Stanovich (1986) defined phonemic awareness as the "conscious access to the phonemic level of the speech stream, and some ability to manipulate cognitively representations at this level" (p. 362). Tasks used to assess shallow phonemic awareness tend to emphasise sensitivity to rhyme and alliteration; whereas, a more complex task might involve the manipulation or separation of sounds in a word. A further developmental advance involves a progressive reduction in the size of the unit comprehended - from whole word, to syllables, to intra-syllabic units, to individual phonemes.

75. Q & A With Sen. Martha Escutia of students the state will fund in remedial programs and a focus on reading and mathinstruction seem to more teachers have to be trained to teach these college http://www.csba.org/qa/escutia.htm

CSBA.org A conversation with Senator Martha Escutia Sen. Martha Escutia Sen. Escutia was first elected to the California Legislature in November 1992 to represent the heavily Latino 50th Assembly District. As an assemblywoman, Escutia chaired the Assembly Judiciary Committee from January 1997 to November 1998. Escutia's varied accomplishments are highlighted by landmark legislation protecting health and the environment, improving opportunities for education, and increasing public safety. Along with state educators, she worked to reduce class sizes and made Advanced Placement classes readily accessible for low-income students. For her efforts on behalf of schoolchildren and K-12 education, Sen. Escutia was presented with the California School Boards Association's Legislator of the Year Award in 1999. 1) What do you see as the most significant challenge local school districts face as they implement the state's accountability system? The rewards and consequences the state has implemented over the last few years makes the assumption that all children will be able to perform at a certain level by a certain age. This is a somewhat flawed viewpoint, considering the different levels at which students start their academic development. A student whose parents are college professors and whose home is full of books is a step ahead of a child whose parents never finished high school and who struggle to provide food and shelter, let alone early academic experiences. The challenge for local school districts, then, is to find a way to level the playing field as much as possible to give children who start out behind the opportunity to catch up to other students. Unless those students get the extra help and attention they need, they're going to fall further and further behind as the go through school.

Employers know it, college deans know, the kids and some parents know. Does anybody care? Does anyone answer for it? Can anyone do anything about it? One of the biggest problems is reading instruction. All academic learning relies on reading, so if a child doesn't learn to read well, all subjects are difficult if not impossible. Most parents assume that the schools know that and act accordingly, doing the best they can. And yet the disaster that exists in Connecticut's public schools (and elsewhere) rests squarely on the fact that the schools not only fail to teach reading, but use methods that actually prevent students from learning to read well. And now for the bad news...

Renfroe Middle School in Decatur, Georgia, a suburb of Atlanta. A small, urban school, Renfroe currently serves 585 students, with almost 50 percent qualified for the free or subsidized lunch program. With the beliefs that reading is the cornerstone of all academic success and that all students must succeed, we looked for a solidly researched reading intervention program that could address the full spectrum of problems within the student body. At the same time, Georgia State University's School of Special Education received a grant to study the Corrective Reading Program of Science Research Associates (SRA) at several schools within the Atlanta metropolitan area. We entered into a collaborative effort with the university to pilot the program at Renfroe for one year, focusing on students' reading decoding skills. The Corrective Reading Program Other key details of Corrective Reading include: all skills and strategies are taught through teacher-led instruction; each program is based on cumulative skill development and the difficulty of material increases gradually but steadily; each program is divided into daily lessons that usually can be presented in a class period; each provides detailed data on student performance; each includes an effective management system; each specifies both teacher and student behavior; and the placement tests, administered individually, are designed to measure relevant skills.

The Academy Return to About Our School Page Return to Welcome Page The Sligo Creek Elementary School Academy Program implements the MCPS curriculum with a heavy emphasis on science, math, and technology. The Program is dedicated to the students who reside within the designated neighborhood school boundaries and is overseen by two co-coordinators, one for math and one for science. The Academy Program has been a fundamental component of Sligo Creek ever since the school was founded in 1999. The school is located in the former Blair High School in Silver Spring, MD. In addition to the Academy Program, Sligo Creek includes The French Immersion magnet program. The enrollment for both programs is projected to be approximately 650 students for the 2002-2003 school year. Science instruction at Sligo Creek features two components. The classroom teacher is one of these components by providing instruction throughout the year using the MCPS science curriculum - a kit-based, inquiry oriented program that has been in place in the school system for over ten years. Three unique science units are taught at each grade level using materials, curriculum, and training provided by the school system and supported by the science coordinator. Classroom teachers integrate this science instruction with other subjects they teach.
