62. SEER Brochure Representatives of the participating state education agencies serve as SEER s professional advisory board. Program History http://www.seer.org/pages/Brochure.html

Introduction SEER is a cooperative program that helps state education agencies in their efforts to strengthen the role of environment-based educational approaches in K-12 curricula and systemic reform efforts. SEER's staff coordinates professional development activities and research programs, disseminates educational resource materials and provides technical assistance to the states. SEER was established in 1995 with funding from The Pew Charitable Trusts, a national philanthropy with major interests in both environmental and school reform issues. The Council of Chief State School Officers administers the grant. Representatives of the participating state education agencies serve as SEER's professional advisory board. Program History A 1994 study of federal and state education agencies, local school districts, universities and environmental organizations revealed a broad-scale need for better information about strategies that are working to integrate environmental content, pedagogy and principles into formal K-12 educational systems. This study found that EE had achieved only minor integration in systemic education reform efforts. (Click here to see a copy of the report) As part of the study, environmental education coordinators from nine state education agencies convened to identify what specific steps needed to be taken to build a better knowledge base for the field. Among their recommendations was the establishment of a national entity that could help facilitate information sharing among the EE coordinators in the various state agencies and identify successful implementation strategies that might be replicated.

Service learning takes the process a step further by weaving volunteer work into the classroom. With service learning, educators find ways to take what students are learning in the classroom and apply it directly to what is needed in the community. For example, students studying Spanish can volunteer to be translators at a hospital, students in an accounting class can review the financial statements of a nonprofit organization, or students in an art class can teach art to the developmentally disabled. A primary goal of service learning is to get students to place their volunteer work in a larger social context and to give them an opportunity to explore that connection through reflection activities In brief, service learning projects give students a chance to make volunteering a more relevant activity, while gaining real world experience in the surrounding community.

Search Resources Twelve studies find that overall gains in charter schools are larger than other public schools; four find charter schools’ gains higher in certain significant categories of schools; six find comparable gains; and, four find that charter schools’ overall gains lagged behind traditional schools. Source: Charter School Achievement: What We Know, July 2005 Update Budget, Finance, and Fundraising Introduction Budgets and Fiscal Management Facilities and Start-Up Costs Charter School Revenues ... Resources I. Introduction The financial autonomy of charter schools depends on each state's charter school legislation. In states that regard charter schools as schools within a district (also known as local educational agencies [LEAs]), the charter schools' fiscal responsibilities are similar to those of the other schools in the district. In states that treat charter schools as independent school districts/LEAs, charter schools have the same fiscal responsibility and autonomy as other independent districts/LEAs. Although all charter schools, regardless of status, must develop sound financial management practices, it is especially important that charter schools established as independent LEAs be able to address a full range of fiscal management issues. Since proper accounting for the use of local, state, and federal funds is a critical element in operating and maintaining continued support for a charter school, the budget plans that charter schools develop must ensure that public funds are used properly, reflect the charter school's purpose and philosophy, and stand up to a financial audit.

McGuinness July 2002 Viewing Changes from a Long-Term Perspective The last 25 years of the 20th century witnessed fundamental changes in state postsecondary education structures. These changes reflect broader societal trends, including shifting economic conditions, as well as movements in the prevailing views about the role of government in domestic policy. Notwithstanding these changes, though, certain policy issues appeared consistently in the debates about governance throughout this period. Changes Reflecting Broader Societal Trends A few states established statewide governing or coordinating structures in the first half of the 20th century, but the most dramatic increase in states with these structures occurred in the 1960s. Two forces spurred these changes: Pressures to manage proliferation of institutions and programs, and to curb unnecessary duplication as states responded to dramatic enrollment increases The prevailing public management approaches of the time emphasizing rational planning and quantitative analysis.
