Essay Exchange - 0 views

    "About The Essay Exchange: The Essay Exchange was created to provide a forum for students to share their work, ideas and stories in a way that could significantly improve the process for prospective students. The college application process is incredibly stressful-especially the application essay. We hope to make this process less stressful by adding transparency and giving prospective students the opportunity to see what their peers wrote and what the admissions office is looking for."

Covenant Curricula | Covenant With Black America - 0 views

    "Excerpt from the Covenant with Black America Without question, education is the key to progress and prosperity in the United States today. Whether fair or not, educational opportunity and academic achievement are directly tied to the social divisions associated with race, ethnicity, gender, first language, and social class. The level and quality of educational attainment either open the doors to opportunity or close them. Education starts at home, in neighborhoods, and in communities. Reading to children, creating time and space for homework, and demonstrating-through words and deeds-that education is important are the key first building blocks for high educational achievement. While schools are responsible for what children are taught, reinforcement at home is essential. As members of the black community, we must take responsibility for educating all our children-whether ours by birth or otherwise-to uplift our people as a whole. - excerpt from Edmund W. Gordon's essay in the Covenant with Black America"

Project SHARE Texas - 0 views

  •  
    "Students: While year one of Project Share is focused primarily on Texas teachers, Project Share will include an ePortfolio pilot for students. ePortfolios serve as a digital record of scholarly work and extracurricular accomplishments and can be used as academic and personal records that students can share as they transition from K-12 education and into college and career. During the pilot, selected students will build ePortfolios. The ePortfolios may include samples of traditional work such as research papers, essays, and publications, but may also include multimedia pieces such as video and audio of academic presentations, artistic performances, and athletic events. As students are invited into the Project Share platform, they will have access to a Texanized portal in which they can communicate with teachers and explore numerous content repositories such as the New York Times Knowledge Network, Texas PBS, NASA Education, and Smithsonian Education. Epsilen offers a range of privacy options that will protect the online identity and safety of every teacher and student."
