One assigns point values to the various components of the weekly sessions in the library and the other suggests point values for different parts of the final submitted work. Teachers and librarians will appreciate this rich collection of reviews, curriculum ideas, and activities. Reviews are organized by title, author, type of book, and grade level, and educators can also look for ideas based on curriculum areas or themes. There's plenty here to help educators integrate literature into their curriculum. This packet of writing information was put together as a resource for students preparing to take the Maryland Writing Test in January. It reviews the writing process, gives narrative prompts and explanatory prompts, provides a variety of graphic organizers, and offers some rubrics (check-lists) to help in evaluating students' responses.

Creating An Early Education System In Colorado weve offered technical assistance and resources to these Once completed, rollout will begin so all colorado parents have access Fully Funded Early education. http://www.nccic.org/ccpartnerships/cases/colorado2.htm
Extractions: Creating An Early Education System in Colorado It isnt easy to be a parent with young children today. In 1994, 10.3 million children under the age of five had working mothers. Many parents struggle to find and afford child careor even to understand their childrens healthy development. Frequently, one or both parents must work outside the home to provide an adequate income, and many infants and young children spend large amounts of time in settings that dont help them develop to their full potential. Its hardly surprising that many of these children are poorly prepared to succeed in Kindergartenand beyond. Educare Colorado started in 1998 when a coalition of business, philanthropic, early education, industry, and government leaders took on the task of creating a statewide early education system. Although Educare is a new venture, it is rooted in a long history of early education improvement efforts in Colorado, including the Business Commission on Child Care Financing and other local collaborative initiatives. The Commission had many successes, including orchestrating a bipartisan strategy to create a voluntary tax check-off that allows taxpayers to donate a portion of their tax refunds to a child care quality-improvement fund. Yet, according to Douglas Price, Educare co-founder and Chairman of the Commission, "It quickly became clear that addressing early education issues within the state went far beyond looking at financing. A system needed to be created." In addition, business leaders understood that, given the new research on brain development, providing high quality care is essential to childrens futures and to the future of the state. The need for such a system with its careful attention to quality is clear.

Extractions: When most people think about college campuses, they think about the image portrayed by media either through exaggerated college student characters on television or in movies, or highlighting the irresponsible acts of a minority of students. However, studies show that most college students make responsible choices concerning their use of drugs and alcohol.

Extractions: -photo: reprinted courtesy of El Semanario Spring 2003 By Padres Unidos Nationally, this was the first time Unzs initiative was defeated as a ballot issue. Ron Unz, chair of English for the Children, is a California multimillionaire software developer and former Republican candidate for governor. Unz launched a national movement to eliminate bilingual education across the country by amending state constitutions, with the ultimate goal being to amend the Constitution of the United States. He also spearheaded the defeat of bilingual education in California, Arizona, and Massachusetts, but his xenophobic anti-immigrant campaign met with fierce resistance in Colorado. On November 5, more than 56 percent of all Colorado voters opposed the anti-bilingual amendment and voted No on 31. Among other things, the amendment to the Constitution would have given all students only nine months to learn English before being placed into all-English classes. For many, this would mean a lifetime of being illiterate. And therein lies the importance of holding the line on bilingual education and defeating the likes of Ron Unz: Illiteracy and inequity in education translates into political and economic apartheid for millions of immigrant students.
