These initiatives are supported by Asia Society and Longview Foundation. Other state initiatives on international education are listed in the state news and resource directory sections. T he Connecticut legislature and state board of education passed a policy statement urging the development of K-12 international education and established a task force to examine ways to implement this. In October, a statewide meeting of school superintendents examined ways to integrate international content across the curriculum. A task force is developing international standards for a school recognition program. Connecticut has exchange agreements with six countries and has established

For example, we help state agencies identify the types of data they must collect and set up the infrastructure necessary to efficiently report the information. MPR also works with state and local agencies to craft policy that will raise the quality of vocational-technical education programs so that all students are better prepared for a range of postsecondary options.

Education Programs In State Archives: Professional Archivists The Missouri State Archives encourages professional development of staff and budgetary support for professional staff continuing education. wyoming http://www.coshrc.org/arc/education/edprogs-profarch.htm
Extractions: Last updated August 20, 2003 Intro State Agencies Local Govts Professional Archivists K-12 Teachers/Students Grassroots Web-based In early 2001, we asked the State Archivists to tell us what educational programs their agencies and state historical records advisory boards (SHRABs) had in place for a variety of audiences. Please note: The information in the table below was gathered through the broad question "What is your state archives/SHRAB doing in the following education areas?" Accordingly, this is not intended as an all-encompassing summary of what the respondent states are doing, but rather, a sampling of the types of educational activities being undertaken at this time. Educational Programs for Professional Archivists Summary: Eighteen of the 32 states responding to the survey offer basic workshops to other professional archivists in their area. Eleven of them also offer some advanced training, either workshops, college courses, or archival institutes. This is distinct from the training that is provided to the staffs of the respondents. Fifteen states indicated that they support staff to attend basic workshops and regional meeting; seven provide attendance at Modern Archives Institute, or equivalent in-depth training, and one (MO) indicated tuition reimbursement for staff. (IL indicated that tuition reimbursement has been promised, but has never yet materialized.) Eight of the states included extensive cooperative efforts/partnerships with others, including universities (NE), archival and allied professional associations (NV, NH, NC, PA, SC, WY), and other states (UT).
Enzi Seeks Vocational Education Reauthorization funding curriculum development or modification, staff development In RockSprings, wyoming, a career and technical education instructor by the name http://enzi.senate.gov/seeks.htm
Extractions: Contact: Coy Knobel, phone 202-224-3424 Web address: enzi.senate.gov Email: Coy_Knobel@enzi.senate.gov Washington, D.C. - U.S. Sen. Mike Enzi, R-Wyo., is leading the effort to renew the federal Perkins Vocational and Technical Educational Act which Enzi believes is part of an essential link between education, workforce training and economic development. Connecting these areas is "key to a competitive economy for Wyoming and the nation." "Wyoming residents will benefit from the reauthorization of this Act because it helps provide the academic and vocational skills needed to compete successfully in a global market,"said Enzi. "Fewer and fewer jobs are available to Wyoming residents because they are either academically or educationally unprepared." Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee Chairman, Judd Gregg, R-N.H., handed over the gavel to Enzi who chaired the full committee hearing held today in Washington to discuss the reauthorization of the Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act. The Perkins act aims to prepare youth and adults for the future by building their academic and technical skills in preparation for post-secondary education and employment. The Perkins program is the only federal education and training program that focuses on secondary and post-secondary students simultaneously. Under the current law, Wyoming receives $4.2 million annually in Perkins funds. The most frequent use of these funds includes purchasing occupationally-relevant equipment, vocational curriculum materials, funding curriculum development or modification, staff development seminars, career counseling and guidance activities, remedial classes, and expansion of technical preparation programs.

Among the many factors that contribute to staff development needs for experienced teachers are IDEA compliance, curriculum standards, faculty turnover, high-stakes testing, and increased expectations among policymakers and school patrons. As teachers pursue personalized staff development plans, they seek opportunities to enhance their skills and expand their knowledge. Typically, if they are engaged in a graduate-degree program, they are likely to depend on their home institution of higher education (IHE) as the source for their professional growth experiences. If they are not pursuing a degree program, they may look to their employer to provide staff development opportunities or, on their own, seek opportunities that best fit their needs and aspirations.

How do we know that a new approach works, adding to a practitioner's knowledge, effectiveness, and ability? And if it does work, how can we use the model to reach more practitioners? These questions are central to two of EDC's latest experiments with online professional development. The Women's Educational Equity Act (WEEA) Equity Resource Center recently received a three-year grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to study the impact of a nine-week professional development course, "Engaging Middle School Girls in Math and Science." WEEA developed the course two years ago and has offered it three times to curriculum developers, after-school program directors, and gender researchers, as well as teachers in both urban and suburban settings. Aimed at middle school teachers, whose female students are most at risk for losing interest in math and science—and for missing the economic opportunities these disciplines can provide—the course prompts examination of gender-based practices through personal reflection, classroom observation, individual projects, and discussions of case studies. "Many online courses focus on content knowledge and information. This course is more about attitudes and personal ethics. People are encouraged to examine their own values and biases, with the goal of changing their practice in the classroom," explains Katherine Hanson, who directs the new NSF-funded project.
