If enacted, the regional accrediting agencies would use the guidelines to set standards for granting accreditation to distance-education programs and institutions." The Chronicle of Higher Education Accrediting Groups Issue Recommendations for Distance-Education Programs "Representatives of the six U.S. regional accrediting bodies have finalized a set of recommendations for building and evaluating online-education programs. But the recommendations won't become accreditation standards, says Charles M. Cook, the director of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges' Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. 'We've always considered them testimonials, not a new set of standards,' he says. 'It's always been the local regions' option of how to adopt them.'"

The CenterEdge Project is building a broad coalition to educate as many people as possible about disparities created by our long-term pattern of development in each metropolitan area of Connecticut. It will give people who live in very different settings the chance to discover surprising facts about shared problems and common self-interests. 2. What does this project have to do with the everyday lives of people in Connecticut ? It has to do with their health, their money, their quality of life, and their access to opportunity. “You can’t get there from here” has new meaning as car traffic and travel times increase.

Schools: Arts, Academics, Democracy Arts Organizations Plan Programs With Community Partners Commission Moves to Downtown Address How Nonprofits Qualify As Tax Exempt Organizations ... Troubadour Named H.O.T. Schools: Arts, Academics, Democracy Seven years ago, the brand new principal at West Hartford's Wolcott School had an inspired vision - to spend a faculty meeting scheduled before the school year acting out an Isaac Bashevis Singer play, complete with zany sound effects. At the exercise's conclusion, Plato Karafelis, the principal, asked the teachers, "Did you learn anything about Isaac Bashevis Singer?" And their answer was a unanimous "Yes!" Karafelis continued, "Was this fun?" Once more, their answer was a resounding "Yes!" "Do you think kids would enjoy this?" "Oh, yes!" "Good," Karafelis said, "because this is how we're going to teach in this building from now on." With that unconventional staff gathering, a revolution in educational philosophy began as the Wolcott School embraced the power of arts-integrated education. Today, the school serves as a model for five additional "H.O.T." (or higher order thinking) schools in urban, suburban and rural communities across Connecticut participating in a Commission on the Arts program which uses the arts to enhance learning.

Dear Black Excel Student and Parent Supporters This is a quick gateway (below) that you should consider immediately to resource help. Each state has aid sources you should inquire about. No question about that! These aid sources cover a wide range of programs, sometimes including resident and fee reductions, "incentive awards," grants, scholarships, loans and more. High school guidance counselors should be keeping you abreast in regard to what's available. Often, however, this has not been the case. This is a BLACK EXCEL tip. Call or write the appropriate state agencies for information packages and assistance. Getting your state "info and financial aid" packages could mean savings to you and your child/students. -Isaac Black, Black Excel S T A T E A I D S O U R C E S ALABAMA Alabama Commission on Higher Education Suite 205 3465 Norman Bridge Road Montgomery, Alabama 36105-2310 State Department of Education Gordon Persons Office Building 50 North Ripley Street Montgomery, Alabama 36130-3901
