National And State Education Standards And FLP Lessons kentucky is currently in the process of correlating the first 40 lessons the Texas education Agency s Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS). http://www.foodlandpeople.org/praise/standards.html
Extractions: State Education Standards and FLP Lessons Throughout the United States national and state education standards have been developed to provide a vision of what students need to know and be able to do in each core subject and by the end of grade 12. Content standards define domains of content that are important for educators to teach and students to learn. State standards are intended to assist local school districts in raising instructional expectations, upgrading and improving curriculum and instruction, and promoting growth in student achievement. In the United States the national standards are specific in nature as defined by each discipline. Each state and local school district then develops their curricular guidelines or state standards ensuring that the interests, needs, and values of each community are reflected. FLP encourages each state to correlate the lessons in Resources for Learning to their own state standards or core curriculum. FLP lessons easily lend themselves to these correlations as there are many process skills in each lesson. The following are some examples of skills incorporated into the lesson outcomes and are expectations in most state performance standards: analyzing and organizing ideas, comparing similarities and differences, cooperating in group activities, experimenting and testing hypotheses, gathering data, making inferences, problem solving, and synthesizing information, thinking creatively, writing. Currently, virtually every one of the 16 FLP cooperating states either have or are developing a correlation with the FLP material. Here are some different approaches:

Over the years, school-based management (SBM) has evolved from a stand-alone reform to one that typically is embedded within a comprehensive approach to improving student achievement and school performance. Rather than being viewed as an end in itself, the creation of greater responsibility and flexibility at the school level has come to be seen as crucial to the successful implementation of standards, teaching-quality initiatives and other key reforms. Today, many states and school districts have embraced school-based management as a strategy for empowering teachers, increasing efficiency and accountability, and creating greater energy at the school level for change and improvement. Many states have adopted some form of SBM legislation, and a few have even mandated its use statewide.

CFNP Summer Food Service Program for Children (SFSP) When school lets out, millions of low-income children lose access to the school breakfasts, lunches and afterschool snacks they receive during the regular school year. The Summer Food Service Program for Children is a key to filling this gap. The Summer Food Service Program provides meals and snacks to children who might otherwise go hungry and is often provided in conjunction with educational, developmental, and recreational activities. With more parents working outside the home, organizations are serving school-age children afterschool as well as during the summer. History The Summer Food Service Program for Children (SFSP) was created by Congress in 1968. It is an entitlement program designed to provide funds for eligible sponsoring organizations to serve nutritious meals to low-income children when school is not in session. Benefits The SFSP feeds hungry children in the summer, gives a boost to public and private non-profit summer programs, and helps give low-income children the best start on the new school year. Many of the children served are at nutritional risk when they do not have access to school meals.

Addressing the needs of our nation's most at risk youth populationadjudicated and incarcerated youthis a challenge for communities and the state and local systems responsible for their care and development. The impetus for change in the manner we prepare youth for successful adult roles created by the School-to-Work Opportunities Act and the reauthorization of the Perkins Vocational Technical Education and the Adult Education Acts calls also for a rethinking of the service delivery system for at-risk and delinquent youth. For them, the challenge is developing productive skills while making the transition from school to an institution and back to school. Therefore it is important that schools work closely with the juvenile justice system in designing curriculums and approaches to ensure that these youth are not left out of efforts to prepare them for the work force. Forum panelists, experts on correctional education and juvenile justice, provided views of how two statesKentucky and Tennesseeaddress the needs of these youth, and discussed the applications of research for ensuring success for at-risk youth. Gail Schwartz, Chief of Program Management for Correctional Education, U.S. Department of Education, served as moderator.
