Extractions: Community-Based School Planning: If Not Now, When? by Steven Bingler Throughout the country, elementary and high school districts are spending unprecedented amounts of money renovating existing school facilities and building new ones. In 2001 alone, roughly $27 billion worth of K-12 construction projects were approved and funded a trend that is likely to continue for several years out. Using a data-driven methodology, this engagement model is growing in popularity as an effective tool for authentic and autonomous large-group decision-making. In this model, elected officials receive clear input and direction about their constituents' wants and needs. As important, they obtain community ownership and buy-in. Although the engagement model is sometimes construed as being more time-consuming than traditional processes, the outcomes are well worth the added effort. Through the open dialogue that is integral to this process, issues are more thoroughly reviewed and resolved. Protracted infighting, conflict, and debate are often avoided. Another benefit from broad-based community engagement is that recommendations are often more systemic, incorporating a broad range of the community's physical, cultural, social, economic, organizational, and educational assets into more elegant, cohesive, and efficient solutions.

Extractions: Mar 15, 2005 With dropout rates soaring to 50 percent and higher in some urban areas, and 70 percent of American teens attending schools enrolling 1,000 or more, increasing attention is being paid to more efficient and viable alternatives to the huge traditional American high school. Emerging chief among the reform options is the development of "smaller learning communities," a phrase used to encompass the growing number of autonomous small schools as well as programs developed within larger high schools geared toward individualizing the learning experience for students. Backed by research in large part driven by the Coalition of Essential Schools-established in 1984 in response to an early study questioning the efficacy of the large high school-the movement is finding broad-based support from funding sources as diverse as the U.S. Department of Education and the Carnegie Corporation of New York. A single major driving force in the small schools initiative has been the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which in the past decade has awarded more than $475 million to schools serving low-income, minority students across the country. To date, the foundation has made "Reinvention Grants" to states such as Texas and Ohio; to urban areas, including New York City, Indianapolis, and the San Francisco Bay Area; to school reform models such as The Big Picture Company, High Tech High, and New Technology Foundation; and to education reform organizations, including CES and The Institute for Student Achievement.

Extractions: Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Information Resources Syracuse NY. Whole Language in an Elementary School Library Media Center. ERIC Digest. The change from a basic skills to a whole language approach precipitates vast changes in the school library media center. This digest will examine these changes, specifically at the elementary school level, in terms of three curricular foci: theme studies, process writing, and literature-based reading. It will also discuss the new demands placed upon the collection and the school librarian. THEME STUDIES Theme studies are not unlike the units of study many teachers have taught for years. The main difference is that theme studies rely upon children's literature instead of textbooks. Children explore a topic in far more detail and spend much longer on each theme than in a textbook-driven program. Children engaged in a theme study use the school media center to seek information about specific topics. They also use works of various genres to supplement their research. Fiction, for example, demonstrates attitudes and behaviors, the reasons to use the information found in nonfiction books. Poetry can provide an aesthetic dimension to the theme study topic. Thematic studies require large numbers of trade books, which the children use with the teachers to build the content of their instructional program. Librarians must work cooperatively with teachers to assure that resources are available in the media center when needed. At certain times of the year, pulling books can be a full-time job for the media specialist.

This conference (and the subsequent edited volume) will explore ways that new media technologyfrom satellites and cell phones to digital convergence and the Internethas changed the creation of foreign news, its delivery, the amount and style of coverage, the accuracy and reliability of information from abroad, public opinion about foreign affairs, and the economics of the media industry. The emphasis will be on what is happening now, with an attempt to predict future trends and how they affect basic "truths" long held about foreign affairs and the news media
Extractions: The National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH) has recently announced that it has awarded free copies of 15 classic books from the "We the People Bookshelf," with four also offered in Spanish, to 500 school and local libraries throughout the country, including six in New Hampshire. The theme of this year's bookshelf is "freedom." As part of the award, libraries will hold programs or events to raise awareness of these classic books and engage young readers. School and public libraries selected to receive "We the People Bookshelf" in New Hampshire are Fiske Free Library in Claremont, Saint Mary Academy Library in Dover, Lincoln Public Library in Lincoln, Madbury Public Library in Madbury, Nottingham School Library Media Center in Nottingham, and Merrimack Valley Middle School Library in Penacook. "Libraries serve as beacons of learning in schools and communities," said NEH Chairman Bruce Cole. "The 'We the People Bookshelf' enables younger readers to examine important themes from many perspectives. This year's bookshelf tells the stories of freedom sought, freedom denied, freedom lived."

Seven New Hampshire charter schools have been authorized since summer 2003, when the Legislature approved an amendment to the states charter school law. One of the first two charter schools to be approved, the Seacoast Charter School in Stratham, will open this fall with maximum enrollment and a waiting list. But the Franklin Career Academy, the first school approved under the new law, will not open this fall. While the commissioner of education and the schools chairman of the board look for a way to salvage the situation, the two local charter schools, Seacoast Charter School and Great Bay e-Learning Charter School, will open in September with full classrooms and funding.
