Center For Education Reform massachusetts (1993; last amended in 2000) The 6th strongest of the Automatic Waiver from Most State and District education Laws, regulations, and Policies, http://edreform.com/index.cfm?fuseAction=cLaw&stateID=41&altCol=2
Extractions: December 3, 2002 * FEDERAL POLICY: Just in time for the New Year, the U.S. Department of Education issued final regulations concerning the implementation of No Child Left Behind , and because the Administration stuck to the intent of the law i.e. TO LEAVE NO CHILD BEHIND many school district administrators are reeling. Because they accept federal funds under Title 1, school leaders must offer parents options when their school has been deemed failing after two years. While this has been so since the early part of this year, school district officials have been able to get away with offering only a handful of options to parents in need. The honeymoon is over, the regs basically declared: from now on, capacity is no longer an excuse. The new federal law requires school leaders in states and communities to provide options, which means they'll no doubt have to get creative in order to ensure that no child indeed gets left behind. The New York Times leads the pack in coverage of these important issues. For more background and analysis, go to

Extractions: Materials/Publications Objectives: The COEP in the Kresge Center at the Harvard School of Public Health began formally in April 1997. The program combined existing independent efforts of the Center, such as the minority internship programs and the Environmental Health Education Program, with new initiatives such as the Museum of Science project. The COEP is a broad-spectrum program that draws on all the research cores and on one of the four facilities cores for content and personnel. The COEP is designed to address needs related to environmental health in four different community sectors: the general public, the schools, the undergraduate community, and the scientific community including both scientists and regulators. Three modes of approach are used: 1) education built-in to community-based research, 2) educational outreach through specific program offerings to schools and communities; and 3) outreach provided as expertise in collaboration with constituents. The majority of COEP programs address the needs of minorities for science literacy and science experiences. back to the top Members: Richard R.

Through the Collaborative, classroom teachers from the partner schools work cooperatively with personnel from local cultural institutions to develop curriculum units tied to the local and state curriculum frameworks. Interdisciplinary curriculum units have been developed in arts, social sciences/history, science, and mathematics. WAHEC has learned that its strength and challenge lies in the number and diversity of its partners. The collaborative represents a combined wealth of educational, cultural, and business resources and expertise unmatched in the community. The partnership has developed extensive expertise in how to work with a school district that serves a large and diverse community (Worcester public schools serve more than 26,000 students speaking 84 different languages and dialects.) WAHEC now serves as a model and resource for other community organizations that are developing their own school partnerships.
