School Composting The Next Step in Recycling A Manual for Connecticut Schools In Brief This manual, written specifically for K-12 schools, outlines the steps necessary for establishing and maintaining a successful school-wide composting program for cafeteria food scraps. The manual is written by and based on the experiences of a group of dedicated educators who have developed the composting program at Mansfield Middle School. We are grateful to the Town of Mansfield for the groundbreaking work that they have done in both implementing a model school recycling and composting program, and producing this manual. The CT DEP funded the production of the manual to provide a model for Connecticut schools to help them reduce their waste steam, increase recycling, and to teach students about responsible waste management and the environmental advantages of composting. In the manual you will find strategies for initiating a compost plan, bin design, routine steps of the composting operation, promotional activities, as well as an exhaustive section on lessons and resources. Specific information about what worked well at Mansfield Middle School has been incorporated throughout the manual in special call-out boxes. For waste reduction purposes, the manual has only been reproduced in electronic format. It is available to

The scripts on this page provide cosmetic enhancements only. Feasibility Study for a Statewide Higher Education Information Technology Network State of Connecticut, September 18, 1996 Applications of a Statewide Network- Connecticut The State of Connecticut has expressed interest in using a higher education network infrastructure to provide a variety of services. Some examples are listed below: Data Transfer Charter Oak students can attain information on available courses and credits, submit proposals, and contact instructors, all via a personal computer equipped with a Web browser. The DHE can have online access to student records at each higher education institution. This will facilitate the monitoring of financial aid, student transfers, etc. All units of higher education would have increased capabilities to trace student flow among institutions. Centralized Internet Access A high speed link (45 Mbps) can provide alternative Internet access to each of the institution's lower speed links (1.5 Mbps and 56 Kbps). Furthermore, the State could charge individuals and corporations for Internet access via its high speed network backbone.

Education Network of Connecticut Sponsored by Department Of Higher Education August 22, 1997 What are the key issues surrounding the technology revolution in education? Technology advances have resulted in jobs that require more sophisticated technical skills. Employees must be familiar with the software and comfortable with the hardware. The explosion of data, information and knowledge has led to a new definition of learning and a shift in the paradigm for education where the learner is now the focus rather than the teacher. Employers no longer look for people with content knowledge but rather people who know how to learn, who can think critically and who know how to access information. Life-long learning is now a continuous process and one that is not confined to the classroom but takes place everywhere, in many venues There are growing expectations on the part of students that technology will be part of the learning and instructional experience. Providing adequate user support is a key technology challenge confronting schools and colleges. Within Connecticut there is a concern that the education systems are not fully utilized by the students who are not equipped or able to take full advantage of what is available.

No report concerning finances is required. Conn. Gen. Stat. § 10-188. Instruction in English: Teacher Certification: Curriculum: Connecticut parents have the duty to instruct their children or cause them to be instructed in reading, writing, spelling, English grammar, geography, arithmetic, and United States history and in citizenship. Instruction may occur outside the public school if "the child is elsewhere receiving equivalent instruction in the studies taught in the public schools." Conn. Gen. Stat. § 10-184.

The National Science Foundation and Systemic Reform By Janice Earle and Julia C. Wan A primary goal of the SSI is high quality science, mathematics, and technology (SMT) education for ALL students. This means making the education "systems" more equitable in terms of learning opportunities and in terms of who takes (and succeeds in) advanced science and mathematics courses. The under-participation of certain groups of students in advanced science, mathematics, and technology education is well documented. The SSI seeks to effect change in student participation and performance by transforming school curriculum, classroom instruction, and teacher education, and by increasing parental support so that ALL students have opportunities suited to their needs to learn science, mathematics, and technology education. This includes benchmarks for curriculum, assessment, professional development, management and governance, policies, partnerships, articulation, and evaluation which have been developed by the states to guide this effort. What Strategies are States Using to Implement SSI?

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Date: July 25, 2002 Contact: Kim Sharpe e-Mail: ksharpe@ecs.org FAX: 303-296-8332 ECS Web Site: www.ecs.org Connecticut Superintendent of the Year New Chairman of National Service-Learning Group Denver, CO – Randall Collins , superintendent of Waterford (CT) Public Schools and Connecticut’s 2002 Superintendent of the Year, has been named as the new chairman of the National Compact for Learning and Citizenship (CLC), a nonprofit group that advocates service-learning in K-12 schools . He succeeds Delaine Eastin, state superintendent of public instruction for the state of California. Collins also serves as president of the Connecticut Association of Public School Superintendents and is a founding CLC member. Collins’ experience at Waterford is a model for many districts struggling to balance rigorous academic work and student engagement in service to their community. Waterford Schools have been profiled in many publications for their exemplary program, particularly around leadership development. Randall Collins has been extraordinary in getting out the message about the importance of service-learning and its benefits for young people, schools and communities,” said Terry Pickeral, CLC executive director. “In a time of heightened interest in citizenship because of September 11th, Randy is the kind of leader CLC needs to continue the work of engaging more and more students in service activities.”

Member Schools Click to Login Click here for a complete listing of CAS programs and services HISTORY Unique among the fifty state associations functioning within our national borders, the Connecticut Association of Schools (formerly the Connecticut Association of Secondary Schools) was created in 1953 through the merger of the Connecticut Association of Secondary School Principals and the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference. Why unique? Because unlike most states which have one association devoted to professional programs for principals and another devoted to athletic and extra-curricular activities for students, CAS is a single organization serving schools, their students and staff, in all areas of operation. CAS is a non-profit, tax-exempt educational organization. It is affiliated with the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS), the National Association of Secondary School Principals (NASSP), the National Middle School Association (NMSA), and the National Association of Elementary School Principals (NAESP). In July 2000, CAS completed a historic merger with the Elementary and Middle School Principals' Association of Connecticut (EMSPAC), a non-profit organization serving CT's elementary and middle school principals. By creating a single principals' organization and bringing all schools under one umbrella, the merger allowed CAS to achieve the following:
