The project will also increase cooperation among stakeholders and build the capacity of systemic structures currently in place. Twenty-six organizations representing parents, school districts, school personnel, Alaska Natives and other under-represented groups, state agencies, institutions of higher education, and private employers have signed partnership agreements that identify specific areas of collaboration. These partnerships will enable the QELF project to achieve its goals with a small staff and low administrative overhead. They will also ensure that Alaska's systemic capacity continues to grow after the project's completion.

Extractions: Chugach School District by Wendy Battino "The Chugach School District exemplifies agility, innovation and focus on the future in the way they conduct the ongoing business of the district. They constantly collect data on student performance and use date to drive all decisions. This focus makes them proactive in their daily operations and change quickly when needed rather than just reacting to crises as most districts do. Continuous improvement is a norm that permeates all levels of the organization. What impresses me the most about Chugach School District is their willingness to provide training and technical assistance to districts throughout Alaska in moving toward a data driven performance-based system, designed to help all students meet world class standards. I have never seen a district that is so committed to continuous improvement for all kids not only in their district, but in the entire state of Alaska". -J.

Extractions: Palm Helps Alaska Put Heart Back Into Education Alaska's Innovative, Top-down Program Connects Leaders and Educators Across the Education Continuum ORLANDO, Fla., Florida Education Technology Conference (FETC), March 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ Palm, Inc. (Nasdaq: PALM), a pioneer in the field of mobile and wireless Internet solutions and a leading provider of handheld computers, today announced that it is working with Alaska to infuse handheld technology into the daily lives of Alaska's school leaders through a project called Leadership for Reinventing Alaska's Schools. While some leadership programs focus on helping administrators become better, more efficient managers, Alaska is taking a different approach. "Our primary goal is to reconnect our leaders to their moral purpose as educators, to put heart back into our educational system," said Kelly Tonsmeire, director of Alaska Staff Development Network (ASDN). "We're not manufacturing widgets; we're educating our children; and that job can't be done by teachers alone, but by everyone across the educational continuum. It's a job that requires not ivory tower leadership, but caring, connected, involved and informed leadership. Palm is helping us achieve that goal, and Palm handhelds are so straightforward and easy to use that the adoption rate has been outstanding."
