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

Technology Standards for School Administrators 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.

Alternate Routes to Licensure Information Future Teachers Should Know NCATE is the teaching profession’s accrediting body for colleges of education. Accreditation is the process by which institutions and programs meet professional standards to assure quality in the preparation of individuals for a particular field of study. States grant a license to individuals after they have met requirements for entry to a particular field. A college of education with NCATE accreditation provides a “seal of assurance” to the public that it meets national standards. Successful candidate performance is a key component in meeting those standards. Each state has its own set of teacher licensing requirements. You will need to contact your state's Department of Education . They will assess your qualifications and determine what state-specific licensing requirements you must address in order to obtain a license. One of the many benefits of graduating from an NCATE accredited institution is that graduates generally find it easier to apply for licensure if they move out of state. Graduates of NCATE accredited schools are often able to transfer their existing teacher qualifications from state to state based on the
