Extractions: Becoming a High Schools That Work State or Site How a state can join How a school can join in a HSTW state How a school can join in a non- HSTW state How does a state become a member of High Schools That Work? The number of High Schools That Work states has increased from 13 in 1987 to 30 in 2003. They are Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Vermont, Virginia and West Virginia. When a state joins HSTW , it becomes part of a consortium comprising SREB and the member states. This consortium is dedicated to getting at least 85 percent of career-bound high school students to complete a challenging program of study and to reach or exceed the HSTW performance goals in reading, mathematics and science. The intent is to prepare students for productive careers and further learning. High Schools That Work represents a cost-effective way for states to join SREB and other states in offering high schools a proven framework of goals and key practices for raising student achievement. The consortium meets three times annually to discuss progress in improving student achievement and to address issues of leadership, staff development, technical assistance and accountability. SREB and the states are partners in delivering services to member schools and in encouraging policy-makers to enact needed legislation and policies to improve high schools for all students. States sign a memorandum of understanding with SREB and agree to assume certain responsibilities associated with maintaining and developing a state network of school-improvement sites.

Extractions: Delaware - Return to the "What's Happening in the States?" Page - Updated March 14, 1998 Delaware In Delaware was working with ETS to pilot a "Skill Assessment Instrument for Beginning Teachers". During the next few years the state's focus broadened to include more assistance for new teachers in the form of the Delaware New Teacher Mentoring Program(DNTMP). The DNTMP began during the school year with pilots in 3 of the 19 school districts. The primary purpose of the DNTMP is to provide beginning teachers and teachers new to Delaware with the support necessary to help them succeed during their first few years of teaching and to "thrive" through peer coaching and the development and implementation of lessons that link to the state student content standards. The ultimate goal is to develop a performance-based certification system of standards that 2nd and 3rd year teachers would have to meet. The program is not mandatory, but state funding is provided and school districts are encouraged to participate. The state provides guidelines which school districts are asked to follow in developing their programs and in helping those programs to evolve. In , the second year of the program, eight school districts participated. In 1996-97, fourteen participated. In

Extractions: Delaware State Profile In 2001, Wayne Hartschuh, Executive Director of the Delaware Center for Educational Technology, approached MAR*TEC with a request to produce a series of short videos exhibiting exemplary uses of technology in Delaware classrooms. The primary intent of these videos is to present to state policymakers and stakeholders substantive examples of technology integration to influence decisions made about the financial resources that are needed to sustain Delaware's technology plans. In 2002, MAR*TEC produced the first video in this series, Is Technology Making a Difference? This video and the ones to follow will be used extensively at conferences, workshops, and other professional development activities. They will also be available in DVD format for further dissemination. MAR*TEC staff analyzed the Delaware Center for Educational Technology "Technology Plan" and discussed their findings with the staff In 2002, MAR*TEC developed plans to support and sustain Delaware's "Enhancing Education Through Technology" work with a twofold effort. MAR*TEC convened a monthly study group for all grant recipients and other interested Delaware educators. MAR*TEC also provided professional development, technical support, and technology resources to the three E2T2 subgrant recipients who are building a library portal. During the 2003-2004 academic year, MAR*TEC will support and sustain Delaware's "Enhancing Education Through Technology" efforts. Delaware has awarded two rounds of E2T2 competitive grants with the first round devoted to helping schools develop technology-rich curriculum using the Understanding by Design curriculum model. Delaware awarded funds to eight middle schools to conduct professional development, develop curriculum units using the Understanding by Design protocols, and establish strategies for sharing these units with other Delaware educators.
