'Some Nasty Performances In Oklahoma' In Oklahoma, the agency that performs the evaluating and selecting and adopting is State functionaries in alabama produce adhesive labels displaying the http://www.textbookleague.org/106okla.htm
Extractions: from The Textbook Letter , January-February 2000 Oklahoma is an "adoption state." It is one of 22 states, most of them in the South or the West, in which state agencies control the evaluation, selection and adoption of the textbooks that will be used in public schools. In Oklahoma, the agency that performs the evaluating and selecting and adopting is the Oklahoma State Textbook Committee. Oklahoma law says that the State Textbook Committee shall comprise thirteen persons, all appointed by the governor. Twelve members must be employees of public schools, and a majority of those twelve must be classroom teachers. The thirteenth member must be a layman "having at least one child in the public schools of Oklahoma." The declared function of the Committee is to "select textbooks or series of textbooks for each subject, which are in its judgment satisfactory." The Committee must carry out "careful consideration of all the books presented [by publishers]" and must select for adoption "those which, in the opinion of the Committee, are best suited for the public schools in this state." The Committee may engage consultants, but the consultants must be "regular classroom teachers." These prescriptions constitute a recipe for farce. Though the Committee is supposed to judge books in history, mathematics, biology, chemistry and many other subjects, there is little chance that the Committee ever will have a member (or will be able to engage a consultant) who possesses professional knowledge of any of those subjects. Hence there is little chance that the Committee ever will have a member (or will be able to engage a consultant) who is qualified to evaluate the treatment that is accorded to any of those subjects in a schoolbook.

Each weekday, one volunteer or volunteer effort in the country receives a Daily Point of Light Award. UNITED CEREBRAL PALSY ASSOCIATION - PROJECT SUCCESS September 16, 2005 Project SUCCESS is a unique service-learning program in which youth with and without disabilities use community service activities to apply academic lessons to the world beyond the classroom. The Project SUCCESS curriculum addresses team building, diversity, effective communication skills, civic leadership, accessing community needs and community service. Through the curriculum, students learn how to assess the needs and problems of their community and work together to create solutions. In many cases, Project SUCCESS leads to a long-term solution because students from the program experience the importance of service learning and continue to give back to their community. Historically, youth with disabilities are the recipients of service and rarely seen as possible service providers. Because of this viewpoint, many young people have been prevented from accessing the valuable personal and professional opportunities provided from the experience of serving. Project SUCCESS offers all youth a chance to experience the benefits of volunteerism. By building on the skills that each member possesses to overcome societal and personal limitations, the students in Project SUCCESS can create an environment where diversity and individualism are celebrated.
