This article describes what people are doing to close the gap between male and female involvement in after-school sports programs. This is important because it also reflects concern over health, nutrition, and social interaction.

This is an interesting article on tracking students. Stamford, CT is doing away finally with the system because it fails low-level students.

New reform in the school tracking system to help eliminate the achievement gap, along with the stigma of who is better than another in the school. The schools division of students based on academic performance in the past has determined their path through school based on a single standarized test. The school is now working to mix the ability in each class. Why it took so long for this school to catch up to others around it I have no clue but this new development seems to be a much better idea, and will also promote self-efficacy among all students.

Reed College, a private institution of higher education located in Portland, Oregon has been forced to change how they accept potential students for the 2010-2011 school year. Financial aid is running out, and the college has faced the difficult decision of admitting students who can only afford attending the school without help from additional funds. Faced with a decreasing endowment, the college is looking at other means of cutting costs without drastically changing the schools' academic mission. Admitting students who are financially secure dramatically changes the student body of Reed College. The article further describes the financial hardship this school is facing, such as submitting to hiring and salary freezes among other cost-cutting measures.

I thought this article was neat. It is great that NYU is offering space on its campus so the younger kids will have a place to go to school. :o)

Reading for Healthy Families: Building Communities of Learning was launched in 14 of Oregon's 36 counties.

An interesting look at an online "text" created by teachers in the home of creating more in-depth knowledge (rather than rushing through traditional textbook chapters).

This articles describes a "dream team" of teachers coming together to form a small charter school in the Washington Heights neighborhood of New York City. Making six-figure salaries and hailing from various walks of life all over the nation, the aim of this school is to prove that teachers hold the key in improving individual student performance and instilling a thirst for knowledge in pupils. The school will cater to low performing students mostly of low-income Hispanic families, and the teachers will have additional responsibilities on top of being in the classroom.

This article presents an interesting picture on Arne Duncan and his wish to shut down and reopen failing schools in an effort to deal with the legacy of No Child Left Behind.

I found this interesting since one of my newspaper analysis articles focused on a school that was shutting down due to poor performance. Also, one of those articles was from the Chicago Tribune which boasted about how great their public school system was in 1858, what has happened now?

NJ Courts have changed the way funding will be distributed to schools.
