Extractions: TSSA Draft (v4.0) The Collaborative for Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA Collaborative) has facilitated the development of a national consensus on what P-12 administrators should know and be able to do to optimize the effective use of technology. This consensus is presented by the Collaborative (November 2001) as Technology Standards for School Administrators (TSSA). The Collaborative believes that comprehensive implementation of technology is, in itself, large-scale systemic reform. Leadership plays a key role in successful school reform. The CollaborativeÕs standards, therefore, focus on the role of leadership in enhancing learning and school operations through the use of technology. These standards are indicators of effective leadership for technology in schools. They define neither the minimum nor maximum level of knowledge and skills required of a leader, and are neither a comprehensive list nor a guaranteed recipe for effective technology leadership. Rather, these standards are a national consensus among educational stakeholders of what best indicates accomplished school leadership for comprehensive and effective use of technology in schools. The standards challenge almost every school administrator in some areas, yet each individual standard is attainable by the professional education leader. Although a national consensus, in no way should these standards inhibit new development, innovation, or progress for schools or for school leadership.

Extractions: Environmental Education PROJECTS Submitted by Susie Shields, Environmental Education Chair The Oklahoma Chapter provides funding support for a variety of environmental education programs in the state. Following is a summary of those for the year 2003. Every year, January brings the Oklahoma Trash Poster Contest, headed up by Joanne Orr, director of Oklahoma Department of Transportation's Beautification Division. Through our sponsorship, our name is printed on 30,000 calendars with all of the contest winners' posters and 10,000 posters. These are distributed to all schools and libraries in Oklahoma, as well as at a variety of events. We also sponsored the iron on printing of the winning posters on at-shirts for the OK County winners. In February, the Oklahoma Association for Environmental Education (OKAEE) held the annual EE Expo in Stillwater. The theme was, "Looking through Multiple Lenses at Environmental Education." Tracks provided were Oklahoma's biodiversity, educating for diversity, and cultural and community diversity. Sierra Club provided $50 stipends each for eleven teachers to pay substitutes while attending the event. In December, we paid for the printing (on kenaf) of the brochures for the 2004 conference coming up Feb. 7. Website:

Extractions: May 21, 2003 News Release Washington, D.C. - Despite the vital importance of education to Americans, critical investments in U.S. public schools remain stagnant, according to a state-by-state report released today by the National Education Association (NEA). The report, titled (PDF, 1M, 127 pages), paints a difficult funding picture for public education nationwide. Despite rising enrollments and a growing need for qualified teachers in many areas of the country, the average expenditure per student and the average salary of a public school teacher for the 2001-2002 school year increased only slightly over the previous year. Over the last 10 years, teacher salaries have remained flat, growing just 2.4 percent during that time period, or approximately 0.2 percent per year when the cost of living is factored in. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia saw real declines in average teacher salaries over the years 1991-92 to 2001-02, adjusted for inflation. Those with average salaries declining 5 percent or more: Alaska (-13.6%), Connecticut (-11%), Vermont (-9%), Wisconsin (-6.4%), New York (-6.3%), New Hampshire (-6.1%), Nevada (-6%), Kansas (-5.8%), and the District of Columbia (-5.3%) (Chart C-14). The study shows that the federal government's share of the public education dollar was 7.5% in 2001-2002 not enough to cover the cost of federally mandated education programs. State and local governments will need a larger share from the federal government in order to put the federal education mandates in place without sacrificing other programs. By failing to fully finance the new No Child Left Behind Act, which was enacted in 2002, the federal government will be undermining state and local governments' ability to find ways to attract qualified teachers into joining and staying in the profession, modernize existing schools and build new ones, and provide students with the programs, materials and books they need to meet the high standards envisioned by the new law.

Extractions: State Improvement Grant Applications Funded in 2000 Oklahoma Abstract Basic Information Improvement Strategies Return to Main Page Oklahoma Abstract or Conceptual Framework for State Systemic Change The purpose of the Oklahoma State Improvement Grant (SIG) is to promote a systems change effort to ensure that all personnel who work with children with disabilities are prepared and supported in providing a high quality education. The grant is designed to meet the critical needs in Oklahoma for preparing inclusive personnel for educational settings while reducing personnel shortages and providing the ongoing training and retraining of all service providers working with children and youth with disabilities. The plan for Oklahoma's state improvement grant includes two major goals: Goal 1: Prepare children and youth with disabilities to meet challenging state standards and make successful transitions to adult life through the establishment of a sustainable model of personnel preparation and professional development. Within this goal multiple partnerships will be established between the SEA, families, IHEs, LEAs and communities to more effectively prepare and support inclusive personnel at both the IHE and LEA levels. This will take place through the redesign of the content and delivery of preservice preparation programs and the creation of regional professional development schools within LEAs.
