School + Business = Clean Air! for Businesses Click here if you're an educator or school Dear Partner: The Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air and the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources are sponsoring the School + Business = Clean Air! program which brings schools and businesses together to promote ways in which individuals can improve air quality. You are invited to be an active participant in this program by registering your company as a host site for a student poster-art exhibition during the month of May. The posters can serve as a way to kick off the ozone season and promote alternative commuting strategies and other clean air activities. Let a Picture Speak a Thousand Words Each participating sixth-grade student is asked to create an 11 x 14-inch poster that promotes alternative transportation modes and other clean air activities. Roughly 25 to 32 posters will be available for viewing in an exhibition at each work site. In addition to the poster project a lesson plan has been developed to instruct students on how to keep the air we breathe clean. Schools participating in the contest will submit their posters to the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce (MMAC) for judging by your fellow Wisconsin Partners for Clean Air members. Posters will then be transported to your organization, where they can be exhibited as a kick-off to the ozone season that begins May 1.

Books on School Choice Equal Access to High Quality Education Is The Most Important Civil Right of All. for Everyone, Inc. webmaster EDUCATIONAL OPTIONS - A GLOSSARY Presented at the Second Annual Symposium on Educational Options for African Americans During the last decade, the education reform debate increasingly has focused on how and whether to give parents more educational options. The debate has introduced a wide array of new terms. A sampling of these is described here. This is not a ³dictionary.² Many entries involve concepts and programs that mean very different things to different people. One goal here is to alert interested persons to these varying interpretations. For example, the phrase ³school choice² can have a wide array of meanings. Individuals who support ³school choice² often discover areas of sharp disagreement. Accordingly, while this glossary seeks to provide both general and factual information, some entries are inherently subjective. (Items in bold face denote a word or phrase explained in a separate entry.) Accountability This concept is ever-present in the debate about educational options. It covers a broad continuum of opinion. For some, it signifies a school¹s compliance with standards and regulations set by public officials. For others, it primarily is a measure of whether parents have the ability to choose schools based on qualities that they themselves believe are important. Many believe that a combination of these elements is necessary to achieve true accountability. The accountability debate thus incorporates widely differing perspectives. Discussions of ³accountability² are most meaningful when they address such issues as: Accountability for what, to whom, and, of course, consequences.

Clearinghouse on Educational Management Previous (Digest 141) Spanish Version PDF Version Next (Digest 143) ERIC Digest 142 - November 2000 Alternative Teacher Compensation By Brad Goorian Teacher compensation is gaining renewed attention in state legislatures and school district offices as policymakers seek to attract and retain qualified individuals to teaching and also explore creative ways to promote higher educational and professional standards. This Digest examines various alternative methods of teacher compensation currently proposed or in practice in school districts around the country. What Is the Current Standard for Teacher Compensation? The single salary schedule, which pays individual teachers on the basis of their years of experience and educational units or degrees, has been in place nationwide for at least 50 years (Odden 2000). Attempts to unseat the single salary schedule have largely foundered. The 1980s saw significant experimentation with merit-pay and career-ladder systems, which rewarded teachers financially based on performance reviews and their willingness to take on extra responsibilities. The seemingly subjective nature of administrator-led reviews created resentment among teachers and their unions and was "at odds with the team-based, collegial nature of well-functioning schools" (Odden). Odden asserts that virtually none of the merit-pay systems enacted prior to the 1990s survives today. Why Change the Single Salary Schedule?

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.

Watch With this issue, Rethinking Schools launches a regular column about the impact of the reauthorized Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This legislation - with its punitive testing provisions - is unprecedented in U.S. history. Rethinking Schools editors Bob Peterson and Stan Karp will write this column, but they welcome submissions for guest columns. For an in-depth analysis of the law, see Stan Karp's article, " Let Them Eat Tests " that appeared in Rethinking Schools, Vol. 16, #4. Leaving English Learners Behind By Bob Peterson When U.S. educators and students returned to school this fall, they were greeted with news about whether their school was designated a "school in need of improvement." The parents of students in those schools received letters informing them they could move their children to another public school. Teachers heard once again how they must emphasize improving test scores - the sole determinant of such rankings. While many may have breathed a sigh of relief because their school was not on the list, they may not have to wait long. Some state superintendents predict that within a few years upwards of 80 percent of all schools will be on the list. This is particularly the case for schools serving Limited English Proficient (LEP) students. I know. I work at an innovative two-way bilingual school and we're on the preliminary list, along with a majority of the other bilingual schools in Milwaukee. Now, as I analyze why certain bilingual schools are on the list, some disturbing and potentially illegal things emerge.

What is it all about? Thanks to funding from CESA #3, ten additional schools are being sought to join the project. The ten schools will attend trainings during the fall of 2002 and the spring of 2003. As a result of these trainings they will develop comprehensive violence prevention plans for their school. What are participating schools receiving? The original 10 participating schools assembled violence prevention teams that participated in two one-day trainings through UW-Platteville Extension Continuing Education. The trainings were conducted by Dr. Larson, focused on "Best Practices in School Violence Prevention" and emphasized needs assessment and violence prevention plan development. Schools were provided with materials needed for conducting the needs assessments and a report detailing the results of the assessments. On-going support and consultation is being provided by UW-Extension.
