Extractions: This is an excellent article written in 1984 about Anna Tobeluk and the changes in Alaska's education system that she played a large part in initiating. Our school became known as the Anna Tobeluk Memorial School (ATMHS) after Anna's death at a young age. It is a long and detailed article. HIGH SCHOOLS AND THE VILLAGE VOICE By Stephen E. Cotton, Attorney Andover, Massachusetts Back to Nunaptichuk Home Page In 1975, Anna joined as a plaintiff in a lawsuit which now officially bears her name, though many in Alaska will remember this well-known suit as the Molly Hootch case, for the Eskimo girl whose name headed the original list of plaintiffs suing the state in 1972 for failing to provide village high schools. In 1976, the case of Tobeluk v. Lind was settled by entry of a detailed consent decree providing for the establishment of a high school program in every one of the 126 villages covered by the litigation, unless people in the village decided against a local program. In 1979, Anna graduated from her village high school. By then, the number of new high school programs under the consent decree had climbed to 66. As of the 1982-83 school year, 101 native villages covered by the lawsuit had new or expanded school programs. As mandated by the consent decree, a massive wave of rural school construction to house the new high school programs is now nearing completion. As of January 1, 1984, 84 of the 92

Houghtaling Elementary School | By Request...May 2002 Paraeducators also work in the school media center and with special needs Says Hook, As alaskas oil money dwindled and schools were forced to cut http://www.nwrel.org/request/may2002/houghtaling.html
Extractions: E-mail: hardinl@kgbsd.org Following the writing job, Mrs. Hook pulls out phoneme flash cards and the children quickly sound them out. For the last few minutes of this 30-minute period, the children select a book to take home and read aloud to someone at home for the next day. Mrs. Hook and her students have created a game board in which students advance a step as they read a book. Katy Hook has been a paraeducator at Houghtaling, one of five elementary schools in the Ketchikan Borough School District, for about 15 years. Of the 419 students, 156 are Alaska Native, and 133 (or 32 percent) are on the free and reduced-price lunch program. At Houghtaling, paraeducators who are hired under Title I funds provide group instruction with teacher direction in reading and writing for students who have scored below the 35th percentile on the Gates standardized test. Currently there are two Title I tutors, one Indian Education tutor, and one ESL tutor. Paraeducators also work in the school media center and with special needs students. Each tutor meets with a group of three to four children by grade level for 30 minutes a day, four days a week. Tutors also work with kindergarten students for 30 minutes to an hour each day. The tutors use Fridays for planning time (this time is paid), as well as time for working with individual children and assessing new students.
Extractions: At the school library level, the further impact of these budget shortfalls is that in many cases, library budgets have been reduced, frozen or eliminated, media specialists and library aides are losing their jobs, and some school media centers are closing. Of those that remain open, many are being staffed by teachers and school personnel (even parents and volunteers), rather than by professional librarians. Additionally, some media specialists are now working "split-schools," in which they are required to split their time among two or three (or more) schools, often without the help of library support staff.

Extractions: I found SurveyShare to be an extremely straightforward method of constructing on-line surveys. In addition to the product being easy to use, the customer service support has been fast-all of my questions have been answered immediately. Overall, it is a tremendous product/service. Jacqueline Remondet Wall, Ph.D., HSPP, CRC SurveyShare has been an outstanding tool for our department this past year. In the past we were plagued with gathering data from students and faculty regarding our services. With SurveyShare, we *easily* designed and delivered surveys that offered great flexibility for needs analyses, workshop evaluations and quality of service surveys, to name a few.
