You are here: Home Teaching and Learning Strategies Technology in Education Changing the Face of Education in Missouri by Monica Beglau Using technology to create classroom learning experiences that engage young learners in new ways is at the heart of the eMINTS (enhancing Missouri's Instructional Networked Teaching Strategies) program. This program is changing the face of education across the state. The goal of the program is to support Missouri educators as they integrate multimedia technology into inquiry-based, student-centered, interdisciplinary, collaborative teaching practices that result in improved student performance, increased parent involvement and enriched instructional effecti vene ss. Beginnings http://emints.more.net/evaluation/reports/mints_report.html Based on early research findings about the improved student achievement found in the Mints classrooms, eMINTS was inaugurated in 88 third and fourth grade classrooms in 44 school districts across the state in fall 1999. The eMINTS Revolution Since 1999 eMINTS classrooms have been added across the state using a combination of local, state and federal funds. MOREnet (Missouri Research and Education Network) administers eMINTS under a contract from the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE). MOREnet provides Internet connectivity, access to Internet2, technical support, video conferencing services and training to Missouri's K-12 schools, colleges and universities, public libraries, health care, state government and other affiliates.

48. Testing Our Children: Wyoming Professional development should in any event be strengthened. Scoring is doneby teachers and SEA staff. Rubrics are made available to all vocational http://www.fairtest.org/states/wy.htm

WYOMING Summary evaluation. Wyoming currently does not have a state assessment system that can be evaluated, It only has a vocational test administered to a sample of students. Beginning in 1998, districts will be required to assess students on the state's common core of knowledge and skills. The approach to the vocational exam seems reasonable. A district-based approach is reasonable, but the state should then evaluate the quality of the district assessments. No equity data are available, but should be. Professional development should in any event be strengthened. Public reporting is adequate for the vocational test, and the review process seems reasonable. Legislation has just passed to create a state exam program that would assess in grades 4, 8 and 11. The SEA and an appointed committee are to report on what the SEA intends to do and the cost. In the same legislation, the SEA is ordered to study whether the state should have a high-stakes "competency test," and the logistics of implementing it. The state should utilize the Principles and Indicators for Student Assessment Systems to help guide the creation of the new program. A high-stakes "competency test" should be strongly resisted.

Research/education projects began in 1998 and professional development and farmer/rancher grants were added several years later. A Brief History of the SARE program can be found at this site. The SARE program has been a very important source of funds for sustainable agriculture research and education. Numerous projects have been awarded to Washington State investigators, many in cooperation with other states. A call for proposals is announced once each year, and proposals are awarded on a competitive basis after extensive review. SARE is run on a regional basis (Northeast, Southeast, North Central, Western), and Western SARE is hosted at Utah State University. Western Region SARE The Western Region SARE includes Alaska, American Samoa, Arizona, California, Colorado, Guam, Hawaii, Idaho, Micronesia, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, N. Mariana Islands, Oregon, Utah, Washington, and Wyoming. Each regional SARE program has its own regional administrative council that is broad and diverse in membership, and includes farmers, ranchers, agribusiness, and representatives of non-profit, private, government, and academic organizations.

State Improvement Grant Applications Funded in 2001 Wyoming Abstract Basic Information Improvement Strategies Return to Main Page Wyoming Abstract or Conceptual Framework for State Systemic Change The Wyoming State Improvement Grant (WySIG) project, "Project Readiness," proposes to build a systemic reform approach to ensure that all students, including students with special needs,, actively participate in the regular classroom as Wyoming moves to a rigorous, standards-based educational system. Students with disabilities will receive the core educational services and programs that will enable them to master all of the state standards, beginning with the graduating class of 2005 and beyond. The four basic components of this reform approach involve: Creating partnerships to implement this reform project. All the initiatives proposed for this project begin and end with standards. This project begins by identifying the needs of the student with a disability and then proposing and executing activities that ultimately help that student meet the standards all other students are expected to meet and be a productive citizen. To achieve that, changes will be made at the school level, LEA and the state level to help the student. The activities proposed in this project are designed and directed to achieve that goal. The ultimate outcome is to change policy at the state level by involving all the stakeholders and increasing the effectiveness of inclusive classroom practices by educators.

Block Scheduling requires additional teaching strategies; i.e., establish relevance, hook students with short video sequences, dramatic skits, and simulations; schedule at least two learning activities per session, and capitalize on pulsed learning sequences, cooperative teaming, alternative learning options, and student variations. Hackmann, Donald G.; and Schmitt, Donna M. Strategies for Teaching in a Block of Time Schedule. NASSP Bulletin, v81 n588 p1-9 Apr 1997. Offers suggestions for developing creative instructional approaches in time-blocked classes. Teachers should continuously engage students in active learning, include group activities to encourage student participation, incorporate activities addressing multiple intelligences, use creative thinking activities, move outside the classroom, employ authentic assessment methods, and share resources and ideas with colleagues.

Changing Schools Staff Adequate Y early Progres s: In-Depth Of the many provisions of the No Child Left Behind Act, few have engendered as much debate as the requirement that all American schoolchildren demonstrate proficiency in mathematics and reading by the end of the 2013-2014 school year. Proponents of the "adequate yearly progress" provision note that ensuring that all children reach proficiency is inherent to the legislation's central idea of "leaving no child behind." Critics contend that factors beyond the control of individual schools, such as student mobility, parent support, and motivation, make 100 percent student proficiency an unrealistic objective. The passage of the No Child Left Behind Act also has spurred a series of debates over just what constitutes "proficiency." Because states will set their own definitions of proficiency under the legislation, it will likely be difficult to get a clear picture of student achievement on a nationwide level. A student ranked "proficient" in one state, for example, may test at the "basic" or "partially proficient" level in another.
