Extractions: K-12 Curriculum Strands ... Contributors to this Framework What is the K-12 Science Curriculum Framework? The K-12 Science Curriculum Framework was developed to positively impact science education in New Hampshire. It is a thoughtful response to the variety of reform efforts currently occurring nationwide. New Hampshire educators can use these standards to help make the decisions necessary for the development of effective science programs. Although this is not a mandated curriculum, it sets forth high science education standards, essential for New Hampshire students. The Science Curriculum Framework incorporates current theory on effective and essential science teaching. It should be used, evaluated, and revised regularly to keep New Hampshire students on a progressive track towards an optimum understanding of science. The evaluation process should involve a variety of assessment tools, which reflect a variety of teaching methods. The periodic revision of this document should involve educators, parents, business and industry representatives, and state and community leaders. This is not the end of New Hampshire science education reform, it is a beginning! To this end, the framework will serve as the foundation for the development of new assessment systems which incorporate both local and statewide components. At the state level, science proficiency will be assessed at the end of grades six and ten, providing information which can be used to promote educational accountability and to improve curriculum and the quality of instruction. Local assessment programs should build upon and complement the state effort.

Extractions: Resources Fact Sheets K-12 Fact Sheets Sustaining Service-Learning in K-12 Schools (Search Tips) Source: RMC Research Corporation, December 2002 Introduction Teachers in many schools have adopted service-learning as a practice for teaching something of value-be it content knowledge and skills, personal responsibility and efficacy, civic responsibility and citizenship, and/or information about potential career pathways. Research and experience have shown that teachers who use service-learning as a strategy tend to embrace it passionately, feeling that it is a powerful teaching strategy that motivates students to become engaged in activities and school work and providing an experiential base upon which learning can and does occur. How can service-learning be sustained in an educational environment that stresses accountability and evidence-based practice? The research suggests some answers. This short monograph will provide a summary of some of the research on sustainability more generally and on service-learning sustainability specifically. Readers who wish to have more information are urged to go to the specific sources that are cited. A Brief Review of the Sustainability Literature Sustainability is defined as the ability to maintain or increase program efforts by building constituencies; creating strong, enduring partnerships; generating and leveraging resources; and identifying and securing funding sources that are available over time.

Extractions: Today's Globe Politics Opinion Magazine ... K-12 January 20, 2005 Pupils who are native speakers of languages other than English in Maine, Vermont and New Hampshire soon will begin taking new standardized tests designed to prove their understanding of English is improving. ADVERTISEMENT The new test has five levels, and a child eventually must pass all five to be considered proficient. Maine will assess about 3,200 pupils from kindergarten through grade 12, New Hampshire about 3,500, and Vermont about 1,200. Those assessed will include the children of immigrants, adopted children and children of foreign workers. Christine Noon, a New Hampshire Department of Education consultant for English as a second language, said the test will monitor pupil progress toward meeting education requirements adopted throughout New England. "We really needed something that aligned with academic standards," Noon said. "This is one test that is based on standards. It's not like the standards have been retrofitted to the test." The test was designed by a 10-state consortium and has oral and written parts. It will be administered in the spring in Maine, Vermont and Alabama. New Hampshire officials will administer the test in 2006.
Extractions: Today's Globe Politics Opinion Magazine ... MCAS October 10, 2004 New Hampshire is changing the way it gives standardized testing to its students. But that doesn't mean the state will ever have its own version of the MCAS. ADVERTISEMENT ''It's safe to say at this moment that there is not much interest in a graduation type of test," said Tim Kurtz, director of assessment for the New Hampshire Department of Education, referring to the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System test, which students must pass to graduate. ''That's not to say there isn't conversation," Kurtz said. ''But we're not moving in the direction of a high-stakes exam for now." While an MCAS equivalent is not on the horizon, New Hampshire is changing its standardized testing to better comply with the federal No Child Left Behind Act. The change will team New Hampshire with Rhode Island and Vermont to create the New England Common Assessment Program. Students in all three states will take the same test, which should reduce the cost of testing from about $25 per student to $12 per student, Kurtz said. The MCAS costs roughly $40 per student. The lowered cost allows for a higher quality of test, Kurtz said. There will be more open-ended questions, more open-response options for test takers, and fewer matching and multiple-choice questions, which indicate less about a student's skills, according to educators.

New Hampshire new hampshire government agencies are not interconnected, and there appears k12 schools are locally controlled and funded; thus efforts to use distance http://www.benton.org/publibrary/state/newhampshire.html
Extractions: New Hampshire government agencies are not interconnected, and there appears to be no formal plan to connect them or to establish a unified state network presence on the Internet. Several agencies provide dial-up access to information or have linked information to the state's website, which is run by the state library without state financial support. An ad hoc group composed of state agency officials and employees meets regularly to discuss the goal of making government information available to the general public. The group's members say that telecommunications development in New Hampshire happens on an as-needed basis. Local call access to the Internet is a big problem in certain parts of the state, and there are large rural areas without toll-free access. The Public Utilities Commission has a docket that may expand local calling areas to address this problem. SB 106 was passed in 1995, opening the market for local phone service to local competition. The Public Utilities Commission will adopt rules by the end of 1996 regarding the provision of telecommunications services by more than one provider. No provisions have been made to ensure universal service. In March 1992 the governor established a Telecommunications Task Force to oversee the development and implementation of a pilot network

School Librarian Web Pages Since there were very few k12 schools on the Web at that time, Shelley Lochhead, Librarian, Hopkinton High School, Contoocook, new hampshire. http://www.school-libraries.org/milbury/ten.html
Extractions: Chico High School, Chico, California Like most librarians, I very much enjoy gathering information resources for student and staff use. In recent years the Internet and World Wide Web have been particularly exciting to work with. This is due to their freewheeling, share and share alike nature, where one can browse and link to an ever growing world of information resources. Once connected to The Net, there are no purchase orders to type, no budgets to worry about, and a lot of fun in the process of making these resources available to your school! It is a simple matter to create a set of bookmarks, which can be used for building one's own Web Page, providing well organized pathways to information resources, applicable to your school's distinctive information needs. Although I have been exploring, evaluating, and bookmarking resources since the fall of 1990, it was not until two years ago that I was able to create my own personal Home Page on the World Wide Web, using our school district network. A little over a year ago, once our school connected the new library server to the Internet via an ISDN line, I was able to create a Home Page for our school. I also created a Library Helpful Bookmarks Page, organizing a "virtual library" of Internet information pathways to Internet information resources for students and staff. While the creation of these Web Pages was at first a daunting task to consider (especially dealing with new HTML and Unix software "languages"), I found that it greatly simplified matters to copy and adapt the structure of various existing pages that I admired. In other words, as I began planning the Home Page for my school and library, I was able to borrow useful sections from the pages that I encountered, taking advantage of many effective, successfully designed Web Pages. Since there were very few K-12 schools on the Web at that time, I borrowed from wherever I found an interesting page design!
MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM (K-12) The authors of the new hampshire k12 Mathematics Curriculum Framework believe the goals for new hampshire schools are closely aligned with those espoused http://www.orcsd.org/Curriculum/Math/overview.htm
Extractions: MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM (K-12) National Reform in Mathematics Education With the publication of Everybody Counts and the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics The report [ Indicators of Science and Mathematics Education , 1995] concludes that excellence is being achieved where high standards are applied. ...The indicators reveal that elementary schools are devoting more time than ever to science and mathematics instruction. More high school students are taking advanced courses in these fields, and greater numbers of high school students ... are satisfactorily completing courses in mathematics and science. Achievement scores are on the rise for all of these students. State-level Reform: The Framework At the state level, school reform agendas are increasingly converging with mathematics reform agendas. Thus, we find that statewide assessment activities are becoming aligned with the reformist visions of mathematics that the NCTM Standards have precipitated. At this time, 43 states have revised or developed curriculum frameworks and are engaged in some type of assessment effort. Following the decision by the New Hampshire State Board of Education and Legislature to launch a new statewide assessment in mathematics at the end of grades three, six, and ten, teams of educators and community members were assembled to create documents to guide the development of the assessment process.
