To measure the broader impact of arts in education, alternative assessment strategies need to be explored. Two such strategies that Lincoln Center Institute has successfully employed in its work with educators and children are portfolio assessment and the Aesthetic Learning Interview, a method for eliciting student responses to a given work of art that helps indicate their perceptual and conceptual abilities. Curricular Frameworks: To capture Lincoln Center Institute's constructivist approach to education requires a new kind of curriculum framework—one that focuses on process, encourages the active participation of learners, and engages teachers in creating curricula responsive to the specific needs and interests of their students. The Institute's curriculum framework is designed to help educators explore a work of art, discover ways to gain access to it, and construct experiential encounters for their students that illuminate the work.

PROVIDING TELECOMMUNICATIONS DISCOUNTS TO K-12 SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES SURCHARGES Surcharges, such as the Universal Connectivity Charge, are authorized by and under the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and are used by long distance companies to recover the costs of funding universal service. The FCC has directed long distance companies to explain the charge to their customers. The Universal Connectivity charge is a percent surcharge (usually between 4%-6%) on a customer's interstate and international billings. THE UNIVERSAL SERVICE FUND Upon passing the Telecommunications Act of 1996, Congress required that a discount program be established for telecommunications services for schools and libraries. Further, Congress required that this discount be funded from long distance services contributing to a universal service fund.

Charter Schools in New York Law: Passed in 1998 Rank : 10th strongest of the nation's 40 charter laws CER Grade : B Schools Students POLITICS: THE GOOD FIGHT : Despite facing significant challenges to their charter school law, New York reformers can rest easy for a while as the legislative session ended with no changes that would have impeded this reform of choice in the Empire State. Charters' growing support has caused numerous challenges, such as reduced funding and a limit to further charter growth. Republicans and Democrats fought long and hard over these proposed changes but in the end, the House leadership was able to stave off additional challenges. Kudos go to Assemblyman Joe Bruno, who had the foresight to see that charter schools play a unique and positive role in educating his state's children. From CER Newswire June 24, 2003
