Extractions: Through its Water Resources Education Network (WREN) Project, the League of Women Voters of Pennsylvania Citizen Education Fund (LWVPA-CEF) will accept proposals for water resources education projects sponsored by community based partnerships that educate, build awareness, and promote water-sustaining public policies and/or behavior change. Projects should be designed to encourage individual or collective action that will protect and improve local water resources. Funding will be awarded in two tracks: Source Water Protection projects which educate about how to protect, improve or restore the drinking water source waters for the community's public drinking water system. [Source water is the untreated, raw water from streams, rivers, lakes, springs, or underground aquifers that serve as sources of a community's drinking water.] Watershed Protection projects which educate about how to protect, improve or remediate the watershed from the impacts of nonpoint source (NPS) pollution. [NPS pollution includes drainage or runoff from: abandoned coal mines, oil or gas wells; inadequate erosion control practices during urban development; improper agricultural and timber harvesting practices; and failing on-lot septic systems or other waste disposal sites. NPS also results from hydrologic modifications (changing the way water flows through an area.) ]

If enacted, the regional accrediting agencies would use the guidelines to set standards for granting accreditation to distance-education programs and institutions." "Representatives of the six U.S. regional accrediting bodies have finalized a set of recommendations for building and evaluating online-education programs. But the recommendations won't become accreditation standards, says Charles M. Cook, the director of the New England Association of Schools and Colleges' Commission on Institutions of Higher Education. 'We've always considered them testimonials, not a new set of standards,' he says. 'It's always been the local regions' option of how to adopt them.'"

Extractions: RE: Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality Dear Child Care Practitioners and Administrators: We are excited to introduce you to the Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality! The Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality is designed to offer your child care program, a seamless system of resources in which all early care and education programs and practitioners are encouraged and supported to improve child outcomes. The system focuses on a comprehensive approach to supporting teachers, administrators, and programs. It includes professional development as well as the Keystone Stars programs. The system is sponsored by our Office of Child Development. It includes six Regional Keys and a state level Pennsylvania Key. The Pennsylvania Key is located in Harrisburg. (See enclosed map.) Our focus through this change in program structure is continued development of the Keystone STARS program as well as professional development. The six new Regional Keys and the one state level Key take the place of the Child Care Resource Developers and Pennsylvania Pathways. In the past, resources for child care providers were administered across several different programs and agencies. Unfortunately, you needed to contact multiple agencies in order to receive services. With the advent of the Pennsylvania Early Learning Keys to Quality, all services and resources will be housed or coordinated through the Regional Key. This includes STARS Management, STARS financial awards (Merit, Education and Retention, Support Grants), STARS Technical Assistance, Professional Development (Training), STARS Core Training Series, and credential-based credit courses. The Regional Keys will function as the coordinating entity for all of these resources and services.
