81. Jump$tart Coalition Purpose is to evaluate the financial literacy of young adults; develop, disseminate, and encourage the use of guidelines for grades K12; and promote the teaching of personal finance. http://www.jumpstart.org/

First convened in December, 1995, the Jump$tart Coalition for Personal Financial Literacy determined that the average student who graduates from high school lacks basic skills in the management of personal financial affairs. Many are unable to balance a checkbook and most simply have no insight into the basic survival principles involved with earning, spending, saving and investing. Jump$tart Coalition Partners Help Those Affected by Hurricane Katrina! Consolidated Credit Counseling Services, Inc. , has organized a cash donation drive among its employees, which will be given to the Red Cross. (The drive continues until September 9. The company will match whatever the final amount is.) In addition, Consolidated Credit has put together clothing and food drives. The items collected will be sent to Texas and distributed among the victims who have been placed there.

84. ReadWriteThink: Literacy Engagements Providing educators and students access to the highest quality practices andresources in reading and language arts instruction. http://www.readwritethink.org/literacy/

Literacy Engagements Lessons on ReadWriteThink can be sorted by literacy engagements so that teachers can highlight specific language functions in the classroom. Following M. A. K. Halliday's model, lessons are designed to engage students in authentic and meaningful language learning (1982). Literacy engagements simultaneously involve learning language (as students listen to it and use it with others in their everyday lives), learning about language (as students try to figure out how it works, engage with their teachers in focused instruction on how it works or in critiquing its impact), and learning through language (as students use it to learn about or do something). Learning Language Learning About Language Learning Through Language Using language and other sign systems as ways of making meaning Understanding how language works, including word play, the teaching of letter-sound relationships and spelling or grammar patterns, or analysis of texts Using reading and writing as a tool for exploration or for purposes of learning about or critiquing our world read aloud partner reading with big books building fluency readers theater independent reading journal writing sketch-to-stretch reading log writer's notebook poetry prewriting word study comprehension strategies strategy instruction mini-lessons word walls think aloud guided reading process drama spelling phonics story grammar word play critiquing the media, advertisements, and other everyday texts

This short paper is the result of an ethics course I took last fall as part of the educational administration doctoral I am attending. It looks at how framers of the Constitution balanced the need for laws with the desire to protect the people from abuses of the law. I put this paper up online yesterday and hope someone at some point in time finds it useful. From the site: The law can be a two edged sword. While it protects society as a whole, it can also be used to coerce and erode the rights of the individual. Sometimes, the only way for individual rights to be assured is to make changes to the law. This can be difficult and it may require a struggle. This is true of the American people in the 18th Century and an examination of the Bill of Rights can reveal what was believed about justice. The American Revolution had many causes. Probably the biggest reason for the war was the desire of many British subjects in North America to be free of British law. In addition to taxation, many rights that the Americans felt they were entitled too were taken from them by British law. When the United States finally won independence and wrote a constitution, there was quick movement to enshrine certain rights into the document. The result was the Bill of Rights. Examining these rights helps to understand how Americans viewed the law.

95. The Role Of Libraries In Literacy Education Learn about how public libraries can help to promote literacy education programs. Includes a report of how public libraries have engaged in literacy education. http://www.libraryinstruction.com/literacy-education.html

Site Links Home Library Instruction Lesson Plans Articles About Library Instruction Articles About Information Literacy ... Information Literacy Weblog The Role of Libraries in Literacy Education by Schamber, Linda Illiteracy among Americans, with its social and economic implications, has become a growing concern in recent years. National awareness of problems associated with limited literacy skills has led to legislation, beginning at the federal level, to fund new literacy programs and expand existing programs. Libraries and information centers are viewed as an important component of this massive educational effort. NATIONAL AWARENESS AND SUPPORT Generally, literacy is considered to be the ability to read, write, speak, and compute at a certain level. Functional literacy involves skills needed to cope at an adult level in everyday situations, such as reading a newspaper or completing a job application form. People who lack these abilities often are members of populations suffering from poverty, crime, and unemployment. According to 1983 statistics from the U.S. Department of Education, there were 27 million functionally illiterate adults in the country, and 47 million more were having difficulty in some of the domains tested (Davidson, 1988). The current extent of the problem is thought to be much greater than these figures indicate. The need for programs to increase literacy has been acknowledged through support from the federal government, from many organizations in the education and library and information fields, and from business and industry.
