Extractions: For Raising Student Achievement High Schools that Work (HSTW) Results, Case Studies, Considerations Chart Main Features Publications/Resources, For More Information List of Schools Results With permission from the NAEP Governing Board, HSTW administers a battery of tests to students in reading, mathematics, and science, which are drawn from and normed against NAEP assessments. This has allowed the program to gauge schools' progress longitudinally as well as in reference to national norms. Test results (gathered in 1990, 1993, 1994, and 1996) show both substantive overall gains and large variances among school sites. Mean scores for all 514 sites participating in the 1996 assessments show that HSTW students significantly outperform vocational education students nationally: HSTW 272.6 (reading), 285.2 (math), 282.6 (science); national 266.6 (reading), 276.7 (math), and 266.7 (science).

Extractions: UpDate - Vol. 16, No. 5 October 3, 1996 New Math, Science Center will benefit K-12 teachers Anew center at the University of Delaware will assist Delaware's K-12 mathematics and science teachers throughout the state as they face the challenge of helping their students meet new state standards in both curriculum content and pupil performance. The new Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center is part of a more general commitment by the University to strengthen its partnership with the state in support of public education. "The University wants to do its part," Provost Mel Schiaveilli said, "to help Delaware's schools prepare for the new standards in science and mathematics and to provide assistance to Delaware's teachers." This year, the development of the new center will be overseen by the deans of the colleges of Arts and Science, Education, Human Resources and Urban Affairs and Public Policy, but it is anticipated that next year it will be administered in the proposed new college formed by the reorganization of the colleges of Education, Human Resources and Urban Affairs and Public Policy. Beyond its college affiliation, the center will coordinate with mathematics and science educators and content specialists throughout the University. Kathleen Hollowell, the acting director of secondary mathematics in-service programs, will be reassigned to the new center and serve as its director and key resource person in mathematics. Barbara Duch, currently a teaching consultant in the University's Center for Teaching Effectiveness, will serve as interim associate director and key resource person in science. According to Hollowell, the Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center will have two principal functions. "We will be an information center for mathematics and science education activities, both within the University and throughout the state, and we will plan and offer a professional development program for K-12 mathematics and science teachers," she said. Through the new center, Delaware teachers will have access year-round to the latest curricular materials, the latest software and technology and the latest assessment tools, as well as to expertise in all these areas. Professional development programs will be scheduled so that teachers can attend easily (some will be held in public schools) and will be sequenced so that teachers can begin at a point appropriate to their experience and their pupils' needs. Already for this fall, the Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center has planned integrated mathematics and science workshops for middle and high school teachers that will expand their knowledge and classroom use of graphing calculators, motion detectors and other environmental sensors. These will be offered in both northern and southern Delaware. Other activities during this start-up year will include publishing a newsletter for K-16 mathematics and science educators and sponsoring special events, such as statewide conferences for science and mathematics teachers and mathematics and science fairs for their students. Hollowell and Duch also will be creating an advisory board for the center, including key individuals from the University and the public education community, as well as public and nonprofit agencies and private organizations interested in improving mathematics and science education. In addition, this fall, they will develop other programs with faculty and staff who are interested in mathematics and science education. "These activities are based on successful professional development models used in recent mathematics and science in-service programs offered by the University," Roberta Golinkoff, interim dean of the College of Education, said. "The goal is to develop an agenda of useful activities that will foster a stronger relationship between the University and Delaware teachers," according to Mary Richards, dean of the College of Arts and Science and chairperson of the University's Steering Committee for Math/Science Education. "Through these programs, the teachers can renew and upgrade their capabilities while University faculty and staff can help improve the quality of K-12 science and mathematics preparation." "Building on its direct assistance to teachers throughout the state, the Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center will collaborate with local school districts, the Department of Public Instruction and other agencies and organizations interested in the continuing improvement of mathematics and science education in the state," Dan Rich, dean of the College of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, said. "In funding the University's request of $297,000 to support this new center, the governor and the General Assembly recognized the need for enhanced professional development for K-12 mathematics and science teachers and the University's proven capability for providing effective and innovative professional development programs," he added. The Mathematics and Science Education Resource Center will be located in Pearson Hall. -Mary Helen Callahan

Extractions: (all revenue sources) elaware legislators are looking to the acountability plan passed last year to dramatically improve the state's education system by curbing social promotions, rewarding achievement, and increasing responsibility for failing students, teachers, and schools. Gov. Thomas R. Carper, a Democrat, helped push through the Educational Accountability Act of 1998 with the help of the business community and other outside forces. He billed the measure as the culmination of several years' work in implementing standards and assessments. The law "ties those programs together by creating a system in which students, schools, and districts are responsible for fostering excellence and preparing our youth for success in college and the workforce," Carper said last July in signing the bill that the legislature had passed unanimously. The state will begin holding schools accountable for student performance in the 2000-01 school year after a period of intense professional development for teachers. Delaware's accountability law is touted as the result of years of reform work.

In this event, Bill Bradley awarded me the 1988 Young Citizenship Award for my active involvement in community service. This photograph was taken during a reception at Brower Commons on the Rutgers University campus in New Brunswick. Notice how Senator Bradley towers over me! Of course, he is a former basketball star, but I have more headroom in cars. Bond. James Bond. Never say never again! After I deliver my awareness program to United Nations representatives at their Special Session on Children, I am delighted at the opportunity to meet actor Roger Moore. Roger commends me on my continuing journey to educate children about disabilities. I was attending a New York City event where Roger Moore and Harry Belafonte were unveiling a statue in honor of Audrey Hepburn's lifetime contribution to UNICEF. Jumping from a plane! In my skydiving experience, I give a twin thumbs-up for the camera at 120 mph. At this moment, I am in a free-fall at over two miles above southern N.J. With me is seasoned skydiving instructor Jason Gonzalas. On the western horizon is the city of Philadelphia; on the eastern horizon, Atlantic City! You can see both towns from this height!
