LifeLong Learning Lab | About - 0 views

  •  
    "Hello! Welcome to the LifeLongLearning Lab! I am an avid learner with an insatiable curiosity and interest in pretty much everything. As a professional in the learning and organizational development industry, I help individuals and organizations use technology and best practices to achieve their goals. I believe that to really learn and understand we have to try things out for ourselves. Living out new ideas makes them our own so we can improve what we do and how we live. Ralph and Friedrich sum it up best: "All life is an experiment. The more experiments you make the better." - Ralph Waldo Emerson "A thinker sees his own actions as experiments and questions-as attempts to find out something. Success and failure are for him answers above all." Friedrich Nietzsche"

Women, minorities need STEM encouragement | eSchoolNews.com - 0 views

  •  
    "Other key findings include: Respondents said science teachers play a larger role than parents in stimulating and sustaining interest in science. During the elementary school years, 70 percent of the respondents said teachers have the most influence. During high school, 88 percent said teachers do. Nearly two-thirds (62 percent) of those polled said underrepresentation exists in their company's or organization's workforce. Leading workplace barriers for the female and minority chemists and chemical engineers include managerial bias (40 percent), company/organizational/institutional bias (38 percent), lack of professional development (36 percent), little or no access to networking opportunities (35 percent), and a lack of advancement opportunities (35 percent). Nearly three-quarters (70 percent) of the chemists/chemical engineers said it's harder for women to succeed in their field than it is for men, while two-thirds (67 percent) think it is more difficult for minorities to succeed than it is for non-minorities."

Caring.com | Our Mission - 0 views

  •  
    "We hope you find some relief in knowing you're not the only one at this difficult crossroads. Helpers need help. We need our hands held (in the form of checklists and specific advice and a simple calculator that finally explains what Medicare covers). We need shoulders to lean on (whether they belong to local experts or to distant kindred spirits). We need hugs (real and virtual). A pat on the back from a sibling or the person you're caring for wouldn't hurt, either, but we know you may not be holding your breath for that one. Support, from near and far, makes caring possible. We need one another -- sharing the lessons each of us has learned along the way, the insights we've gathered, our collective wisdom. Will you join us?"

The Education Trust | Closing the achievement gap - 0 views

  •  
    "Our Mission The Education Trust promotes high academic achievement for all students at all levels-pre-kindergarten through college. Our goal is to close the gaps in opportunity and achievement that consign far too many young people-especially those from low-income families or who are black, Latino, or American Indian-to lives on the margins of the American mainstream. How We Advance Our Mission Although many organizations speak up for the adults employed by schools and colleges, we speak up for students, especially those whose needs and potential are often overlooked. We evaluate every policy, every practice, and every dollar spent through a single lens: what is right for students. We carry out our mission in three primary ways:"

Library Copyright Alliance - 0 views

  •  
    "The Library Copyright Alliance (LCA) consists of three major library associations - the American Library Association, the Association of Research Libraries, and the Association of College and Research Libraries. These three associations collectively represent over 300,000 information professionals and thousands of libraries of all kinds throughout the United States and Canada. These three associations cooperate in the LCA to address copyright issues that affect libraries and their patrons. Former LCA members include the American Association of Law Libraries, the Medical Library Association, and the Special Libraries Association. The purpose of the LCA is to work toward a unified voice and common strategy for the library community in responding to and developing proposals to amend national and international copyright law and policy for the digital environment. The LCA's mission is to foster global access and fair use of information for creativity, research, and education. Copyright and related intellectual property laws have important and substantial effects on the nature and extent of information services libraries provide to their users. Intellectual property laws are currently undergoing major changes in response to the growth in the use of digital formats for works. The LCA is principally concerned that these changes do not harm, but rather enhance, the ability of libraries and information professionals to serve the needs of people to access, use, and preserve digital information. Our concern is heightened because of emerging technology applied to copyrighted works intended to prohibit access, use, and preservation of digital information."

What is a Clicker? - 0 views

  •  
    "In simple terms, an audience response system applies the technology used on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" to a learning environment. Students can instantly provide feedback and answer questions posed by their instructors. Each student uses a "clicker," a portable, handheld device that allows students to vote by "clicking" on the appropriate button for his/her choice. Each instructor uses a receiver that collects votes sent by students' clickers. Light and portable, the receiver is powered through any computer's USB port. Instructors present a question and enable polling. Each student responds by "clicking" the appropriate button for his or her choice. A wireless signal is sent immediately from each responding clicker to the receiver. The receiver, through i-clicker's easy-to-use software, logs and stores the data of each individual student. The instructor can then display voting results in a graph, to the audience. The results are also available for later analysis, grading, and exporting to any gradebook software or course management system"

WestEd: Agency Overview - 0 views

    "For years, Central Union High School, situated in a low-income California neighborhood just north of the Mexican border, was struggling with poor test scores and overall low student academic achievement. But thanks to hard work by the school's teachers, administrators, students, and parents, the high school has, in recent years, been achieving significant academic growth. In 2007, Central Union was named by the state as a Distinguished School because it had substantially higher performance than predicted. This designation is especially encouraging given that many of the students are English learners."

    "The Nation's Report CardTM informs the public about the academic achievement of elementary and secondary students in the United States. Report cards communicate the findings of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), a continuing and nationally representative measure of achievement in various subjects over time. Since 1969, NAEP assessments have been conducted periodically in reading, mathematics, science, writing, U.S. history, civics, geography, and other subjects. NAEP collects and reports information on student performance at the national, state, and local levels, making the assessment an integral part of our nation's evaluation of the condition and progress of education. Only academic achievement data and related background information are collected. The privacy of individual students and their families is protected. NAEP is a congressionally authorized project of the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) within the Institute of Education Sciences of the U.S. Department of Education. The Commissioner of Education Statistics is responsible for carrying out the NAEP project. The National Assessment Governing Board oversees and sets policy for NAEP"
