Extractions: Director, ASCD Annual Conference Hi, I'm Kathleen Burke , Director of ASCD's Annual Conference. Welcome to ASCD's Annual Conference Online 2002. Joining us now from her home in Little Rock, Arkansas is Dr. Joycelyn Elders , former Surgeon General of the United States. Dr. Elders, you're an advocate of comprehensive health education from kindergarten through 12th grade. How close are we to achieving that goal in the United States? You know, only 5 percent of schools offer a comprehensive health education program from kindergarten through 12th grade. There are 50 million children in schools every day. What better opportunity than to offer health education? Most schools offer a health class in junior high school or high school, but of course that's not enough. We need to offer more. We need a comprehensive health education program that addresses not just sex, but talks about drugs, alcohol, smoking, eating properly, and all of the other things that we need that we know is a part of a comprehensive program. What are the most important things K-12 schools can do to ensure public health?

Extractions: T wenty years ago the Clintons sent the people of Arkansas on the equivalent of a snipe hunt, linking economic and income growth to the largest tax increase in state history. The plan promoted by Gov. Bill Clinton also included recommendations developed by an Education Standards Committee chaired by his wife, Hillary Rodham Clinton. "To put it bluntly and get right to the point," Mr. Clinton said in September 1983, "we've got to raise taxes to make Arkansas competitive with the nation and the world economically." He asked the Democrat-controlled legislature to raise the sales tax 33 percent from three to four cents to fund K-12 public education, and they did. Mr. Clinton claimed the plan "is not just a tax increase that's a tax increase. It's an investment in the future of our children and in the economic development of our state." Mrs. Clinton, appointed by Mr. Clinton to chair the Standards panel, declared: "If implemented, it will do what the governor thinks it will do to improve the state's economy and the education system" (Sept. 20, 1983). Panel recommendations were approved by the state Board of Education in February 1984. Today Hillary Rodham Clinton is a U.S. Senator from New York. In her recent book

Extractions: The Arkansas Energy Office of the Arkansas Department of Economic Development assisted in the development of a pilot program for heating and cooling contractors. Arkansas State University at Mountain Home offered the first in a series of continuing education courses specifically for the HVACR industry. This course, "Air-side Design for HVACR," was developed in conjunction with the Arkansas State HVAC Association, Arkansas Department of Health - HVACR Section, Arkansas Association of Two-Year Colleges, and Arkansas Energy Office. This collaboration was a result of continued efforts to provide the HVACR industry with education courses designed to improve installation procedures and practices, energy performance, and cost-saving opportunities. The course subject and course content were chosen based on the results of the Energy Performance Evaluation of New Homes in Arkansas conducted by the Arkansas Energy Office. Results of the study showed that 96 of the 100 new homes had oversized heating and cooling equipment in a range from 50 percent to 300 percent. The average additional up-front cost to the builder for oversized equipment was $600. The Arkansas Energy Office and its collaborative partners then instituted an extensive outreach educational program to review the study. As a result, a Workforce Training Consortium-HVACR Training Committee was developed to prioritize and determine a series of course curricula to assist the HVACR industry. The ultimate goal is to develop a core curriculum that may be transferred and available to 22 two-year colleges in Arkansas for the existing HVACR workforce.
