The growing income disparity between those with college degrees and those without college degrees has already turned us into a nation of college-haves and college-have-nots.
In the next 15 years, 1 million to 2 million additional young adults will be seeking access to higher education, a large proportion of them from low-income and minority families.
Changes in student aid policy have hindered access to postsecondary education for low-income and minority students.
The need to increase access to higher education will run head-on into an inevitable budget crunch for all of education.

Before your child receives special education services, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that he or she have an evaluation.
An evaluation includes information from parents, any special medical concerns, interviews with parents and school staff, and may include specific tests.
5. Will the tests you use discriminate against my child based on: Race?
1. Does my child need a "functional behavioral assessment?"
2. What are you doing to help my child learn new behavior skills?
*The school district must either have your child evaluated at no cost to you, or show, at a hearing, that its evaluation is appropriate.

In 1986, the Carnegie Forum on Education and the Economy reported that unless teachers are empowered and supported as professionals, schools will not be able to sustain significant change through school reform efforts.
This digest defines the concept of teacher leadership and looks at the impact of teacher leadership on two specific issues -- student achievement and equity within the schools.
Barriers such as too little time during the work day for reflection, rigid school schedules, unrelated instructional tasks, jealousies and/or lack of support from peer teachers and administrators, and overemphasis on state mandated high-stakes testing hamper the effectiveness of many teachers who, while teaching, step beyond their classrooms to lead (Paulu and Winters,1998; and Williams, +).
Her study indicated that unless issues of power, race, and class are addressed in school communities, the achievement level of African American students will not be affected by the empowerment of their teachers.

Current research findings and recommendations, including the U.S. Surgeon General's Report on Physical Activity, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Guidelines for School and Community Programs, and Healthy People 2010 Goals, indicate consensus on the importance of regular, quality physical education and daily physical activity programs for all students, kindergarten through 12th grade.
Putting that knowledge into action in schools and communities across the nation is critical to improved academic performance, social reform and the health of individuals.
Purpose of the Survey NASPE wanted to go directly to adults and teens to better understand their beliefs about physical education, physical activity and nutrition.

As we have studied this change as part of the Futures Project: Policy for Higher Education in a Changing World, we have seen a rapid growth in the awareness of academic leaders of the potential power of technology.
Demography Lab: This lab models human population growth for seven different countries around the globe.
Students can receive instant feedback on their mistakes and rework the modules until they fully understand the concepts being taught.37 Another advantage is the ability to provide preliminary experience in a safe setting.38 The emergence of virtual reality technology offers a training supplement for surgeons who typically require lengthy and expensive training regimens.

With more than 32,000 email accounts this large state university has become a model of innovation for other universities around the country in providing the personal attention and involvement expected at a smaller school, along with the expert faculty, first-rate facilities and technological resources of a major university.
The university is committed to providing leading-edge technology solutions with many extensive technology upgrades being deployed by the Information Technology Services (ITS) group.
Its existing email system, Lotus Notes, could not resolve the performance issues and the two key requirements demanded by its users---an easy to use client and Webmail access.
The new email system has improved reliability and ease of system maintenance---reducing man y headaches and building confidence in the system's reliability within its user base.

Civil engineers today battle two significant frustrations: a low level of compensation and a seeming lack of appreciation and respect for the profession.
Let's begin with a critical look at the narrow focus of civil engineering education and practice.
American colleges in the early 19th century valued the humanistic, liberal arts tradition of such revered English institutions as Cambridge and Oxford.
Compare the organizational structure of an engineering office with that of a dental or medical office.
The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) reports about 220 accredited civil engineering programs in the United States and about 120 accredited civil engineering technology programs (bachelor's and associate's degrees).
