Educare had to rely on intuition, general program information, and to find out about a program squality. is a remarkable opportunity for colorado families, said Doug http://www.educarecolorado.org/news.html
Extractions: For the first time ever, Colorado parents now have a place to turn for information about child care quality. Until now, parents had to rely on intuition, general program information, and luck to find out about a program's quality. Educare's Early Learning Report changes that equation. Now parents have a reliable, unbiased source for information about the quality of care children receive from birth - kindergarten.

Extractions: The Division of Children and Family Services is dedicated to ensuring the safety of children and achieving permanency as quickly as possible for every child. The Division is committed to high quality services, consistent service to specific populations of kids, time limited services with effective oversight and monitoring, and services which enable self sufficiency and independence. Seeks to obtain permanent placements for children in an expedited manner that ensures the best interest of children are met. Oversight is provided for the placement plans and transition for children and youth who are unable to be reunified with their families of birth. Permanency for children outside of their own homes means that children are either placed with an adoptive family, placed into long term foster care home, or prepared for independent living through other long term goals such as emancipation. Partnerships occur between placement providers and other professionals involved with these children to provide a comprehensive long-term permanent plan and network of resources for the children and their caretakers. Is primarily responsible for helping improve the performance of the Division through the use of program evaluation and structured decision-making processes to achieve the goals of efficiency, effectiveness and equity in service provision. The Quality Assurance program's contribution to these goals will be the promotion and utilization of available data, continuous quality improvement techniques, contract monitoring, and utilization reviews. We are responsible for attaching outcomes to service provision and ultimately in managing resources and their related expenditures to create a continuously improving Division that is able to recognize and react to external needs and circumstances quickly.
Colorado Professional Divorce Mediation Services Names of colorado mediators are available through several channels including beentrained by an Academy of family Mediatorsapproved training program. http://www.harrisfamilylaw.com/
Extractions: (provided by Julie Denny, Resolutions.) Finding and selecting a mediator can be easier if you follow some simple steps. In the best of circumstances, divorce is an uncomfortable process. Take the time to assure you have a mediator whom you like, respect and believe to be qualified to help both of you negotiate that equitable settlement. Start by generating a list of four or five mediators in your area. Comparison shopping is just as important here as anywhere else. By talking to a number of mediators you will not only become clear on which one feels right for you, but you will also familiarize yourself with the process, the topics you'll need to discuss, the costs associated with mediated divorces and the issues involved in selecting a mediator. Names of Colorado mediators are available through several channels including the Yellow Pages, state mediation associations, the Academy of Family Mediators in Lexington, Massachusetts (the national family mediation association), and local attorneys, therapists and clergy. In compiling your list don't rule out mediators a little distance away from your home. The right mediator may be worth a drive. Now call each of the mediators and check him or her out. Factors to consider in choosing your mediator are:

Extractions: Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado Awards First Grants of 2002 - $148,000 Awarded to 45 Community Nonprofits in 15 Colorado Counties - PRNewswire - March 19, 2002 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado, a fund of the Denver-based Gill Foundation, today announced it made more than $148,000 in grants to Colorado nonprofit organizations during its first two granting cycles of 2002. The 45 grants illustrate the support gay and lesbian philanthropists make to a wide-range of mainstream community organizations in Colorado. The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado awards the majority of its grants during three cycles each year, but also currently awards grants every calendar month. "These grants emphasize the way gay men and lesbians support causes and organizations that affect the community as a whole," said Jan Brennan, senior program officer for the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado. "With these first grants of 2002 reaching 15 counties in the state the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado hopes to make a significant impact on the quality of life for everyone in Colorado." The Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado supports Colorado nonprofits in five program areas: arts and culture; children, youth and families; social justice; leadership development; and public broadcasting. While the Gill Foundation supports primarily lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender (LGBT) and HIV/ AIDS communities with its grants and programs, the Gay and Lesbian Fund for Colorado demonstrates the philanthropic support of the lesbian and gay population by making grants to nonprofits that benefit the entire community.

Extractions: But the true target of the legislation is the thousands of families who will benefit from school choice. The point of barring special legislation is to prevent the legislature from playing favorites rather than setting broad and neutral law. Accordingly, the Opportunity Contract pilot program sets neutral and widely applicable criteria for student participation. (Similarly, the legislature established broad, neutral criteria for school district participation, and additional districts may easily opt-in.) Moreover, the 11 participating districts face no additional burden: a financial analysis by the Colorado Legislative Council Staff finds that districts will actually end up with a net gain in per-pupil funds over the life of the pilot program.

THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Parents with good literacy, parenting, and job skills can help boost their children's academic achievement, as well as improve their own lives. Unfortunately, many families living in poverty lack literacy skills, as defined by American mainstream culture. While most "have developed complex problem solving skills that enable them to survive" in very difficult circumstances, their deficiency in traditional skills exacerbates the problems they face (Taylor, 1993, p. 551). Much information is available about program components effective in teaching literacy skills. Less attention has been paid to the value of building on families' existing skills, diverse cultures and languages, and life experiences, although doing so has been shown to increase program efficacy. This digest, therefore, focuses on strategies for reaching families that reflect the strengths they already have. GENERAL PROGRAM PRINCIPLES
