In 1991, Greenwood celebrated its Centennial as a community. A school has been part of that history from the very beginning. A "new" school was built in 1881 and in 1897 the community received a charter from the state to run a high school. In 1914, the citizens renewed their commitment by building a new high school of brick! Several additions have taken place since then, with the largest addition being a new high school addition in 1960. The 1914 building then served as a junior high school. Other improvements included a new gym in 1980, an extensive renovation project of the 1914 building in 1982, and a new auto-technology wing. The 1914 building served the community until its faithful work was retired in the summer of 1998.

News November 15, 1999 Skip to main story by Terry Devitt With the help of the National Science Foundation (NSF), UW-Madison and four Wisconsin school districts have launched a comprehensive initiative to reinvigorate the way science and math are taught and learned at the primary, middle and high school levels. The new initiative, known as the K-Through-Infinity Professional Development Partnership, is an ambitious effort that seeks to couple a broad array of UW-Madison science, math and science research and education programs with the expertise of K-12 teachers. A primary goal is to train a new generation of faculty, teachers, scientists and other professionals to effectively integrate the process and excitement of scientific discovery with teaching at all levels. "[The K-Through-Infinity initiative] gives us all the potential to grow and develop in ways that we couldn't alone."

Extractions: through a generous grant from the JUDD S. ALEXANDER FOUNDATION, INC. WAUSAU, WISCONSIN About Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards for Economics Wisconsin's Model Academic Standards include specific content that students are required to have learned at grades 4, 8, and 12 in the areas of English language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. Visit the Web site of the Department of Public Instruction for the complete text of these performance based standards. Students at all levels should develop skills and understandings in all five strands found in the Wisconsin standards for social studies. These skills and understandings are embedded in the performance standards. It is important to recognize that the designated levels, by grade four, by grade eight, and by grade twelve, lead students to higher and deeper levels of knowledge and skills as they progress through school. Economics is one strand of the Wisconsin Academic Standards for social studies. The standards for economics can be found at

Working in disciplinary groups, faculty from throughout the UW system will work with faculty from K-12 schools, the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI), and the vocational education system. The University of Wisconsin System also is developing a competency-based admission policy as an alternative to the Carnegie Unit approach. The UW system will work with K-12 schools to develop a profile for reporting student achievement in lieu of a transcript. The schools will be able to use any method of performance-based assessment, including portfolios, reports, and experiments, to determine the level of competency attained.

Extractions: Previous section Next section Contents Pathways ... home page Local Efforts Many local districts are working on distance learning technology projects in the state. Approximately 22 groups are planning fiber optics-based systems. An additional 20 Instructional Television Fixed Services (ITFS) sites are in operation, and local districts are planning the expansion and operation of several of these sites. The state has decided not to create a state-level, distance learning system or network, but to allow projects to be created at a local or regional level. Then a backbone infrastructure would be created to link these projects. State Efforts The Wisconsin Educational Communications Board (ECB), the licensee of six of the state's eight public television stations, coordinates telecommunications planning efforts among state education institutions. ECB works with the University of Wisconsin system, the Department of Public Instruction, and the Vocational, Technical, and Adult Education (VTAE) system. In August 1989, the state legislature created a 15-member Information Technology Advisory Board (ITAB) to manage a comprehensive study and make recommendations for improving Wisconsin's data processing and telecommunications systems, including education services. The ITAB published a report in November 1990 entitled Information Technology Management in Wisconsin. One of the report's major recommendations was the formation of a statutory board on information technology under the governance of the Department of Administration. Another priority identified in the ITAB report is the implementation of strategic business and information technology planning throughout all state agencies. A recommendation affecting education was to provide a centralized support for the independent, regional educational telecommunications initiatives that have been established throughout the state.

Extractions: How Do I Join? Welcome to the Wisconsin Education Association Council! WEAC members work hard every day, educating our children in great schools that benefit everyone who lives and works in Wisconsin. WEAC staff and leaders also work hard to support WEAC members. When educator union locals began organizing in the late 1960s and early 1970s, Wisconsin's schools had no set standards and many members qualified for food stamps and had no health insurance. The strength of WEAC lies in the efforts of members working together to accomplish common goals. While looking through this booklet, you will see that members, working through their local associations and UniServ units, direct WEAC. I hope you will take advantage of the many services and benefits that are made possible through the collective strength of our members. I also hope you will become active in our organization, at the state, UniServ and local level, because active members are the heart of our organization. Stan Johnson
