41. FOOTSTEPS Quotes telling my cousin, a middle school media Specialist in virginia, all about It is apublication appropriate for school library media centers and public http://www.cobblestonepub.com/pages/footquotes.html

What other educators are saying about FOOTSTEPS . . . "FOOTSTEPS is a regular subscription in over 65 elementary and middle school library media centers in our school system. Feature stories and regular columns provide information for classroom discussions and support cross-curricular themes related to the contributions of African Americans and descendants of Africa. Library media specialists and teachers find the magazine a valuable resource throughout the year. At meetings of library media professionals one hears, 'Why didn't I know this magazine before now? It would be great for students in my school.' " Juanita Warren Buddy. Ph.D., Coordinator, Department of Educational Media, DeKalb County School System, Atlanta, GA "The in-depth coverage about important topics that are frequently overlooked in American History that is provided in the FOOTSTEPS magazine is unequaled and desperately needed. When I had the opportunity to visit Old Mystic, CT, a few summers ago for a family reunion, I took great pride in telling my cousin, a middle school Media Specialist in Virginia, all about Lewis Temple, and his importance to the whaling industry. Though I was a History major, and taught Social Studies before I became a Media Specialist, I knew nothing about the brave Black people involved in the whaling industry prior to reading about them in FOOTSTEPS! The use of student writing and artwork is another particularly important feature. As the writing coach in my school, I continue to look for opportunities for my students to publish their work. FOOTSTEPS provides such opportunities."

HJR 622 Joint Subcommittee to Study Noncredit Education for Workforce Training in Virginia June 11, 1997, Newport News The joint subcommittee is directed to examine "the needs of business and industry, the lack of funding for non-credit training and retraining courses requested by business and industry, and the absence of a public policy to provide sound and continuous training opportunities for businesses in the Commonwealth." In addition, the joint subcommittee is specifically charged to identify the courses and programs of study in highest demand by business and industry in Virginia; develop a process for assessing the future demand and appropriate public policy for non-credit education and workforce training programs; recommend the appropriate share of the costs of such programs to be borne by the Commonwealth; and recommend initiatives that will sustain a highly skilled labor force to meet the needs of existing business and industry and facilitate the recruitment of new businesses. Preparing a Skilled Workforce The result of an historically unfocused national approach to worker training, experts contend, has been a "complex and fragmented network of adult training efforts" characterized by education, social, and economic development initiatives that incorporate training as part of their missions. Among these initiatives are government-funded training programs targeting certain "special needs" workers. Two-thirds of $5.7 billion expended annually by the federal government for employment and training is consumed by the Job Training Partnership Act, comprised primarily of programs addressing training assistance for disadvantaged youth and adults, dislocated workers, summer youth employment and training, and the Job Corps. A number of state initiatives complement these federal programs.

Professional Organizations Almost every library association, organization, and chapter provides the same type of information through their website. This information includes explanations of the constituency and focus of the group; advocacy; policy statements; publications including journals, research, fact sheets, and papers; conferences and meetings; career and professional practice information; and how to become a member. For that reason, the links below explain the focus of the organization, rather than the type of information available at each site.

We have our professional organizations, regular conferences, journals, and a number of centers, departments, and other organizational units. A sense for the substance of the field is also fairly easy to come by: one can examine the proceedings of ACH/ALLC conferences, issues of CHum and JALLC, the discussions on HUMANIST, the contents of many books and anthologies which represent themselves as presenting work in humanities computing, and the academic curricula and research programs at humanities computing centers and departments. From such an exercise one easily gets a rough and ready sense of what we are about, and considerable reassurance, if any is needed, that indeed, there is something which we are about. But computing humanists have never been comfortable with the unexamined life, and, not surprisingly we have had, like many other academic communities, a little anxiety about exactly how we fit into the more established ecology of disciplines, fields, methodologies, and the like. Some of this concern may be a purely intellectual curiousity, some may be more existential - and certainly some is motivated by a practical concern about how to shape our institutions and our professional lives in a way that will allow us to make our best contributions. (Any discussion of the nature of humanities computing must of course reflect the seminal work of Willard McCarty - see the papers listed on

Thanks to wireless technology, Virginia Beach City Public Schools is delivering a new level of service to its customers In a continuing effort to increase the school system’s initiative to stay ahead of the technology curve, Electronic Systems partnered with Cisco Systems to provide over 300 portable classrooms at over 50 schools with strategic Local Area Network/Wide Area Network connectivity using Cisco’s Aironet 340 series products. Providing a standards-based, field proven, high-speed wireless networking solution for both in-building and building-to-building WLAN applications, the Cisco Aironet 340 series products fit the needs of Virginia Beach City Public Schools. With the help of an externally mounted omni-direction antenna on each portable classroom, Electronic Systems presented the solution of a wireless bridge that would be the primary connection between the wireless network and the in-school network. “The importance of this project is that it gives teachers and students that are in portable classrooms throughout the district the ability to interact with their main buildings, whether it be to post grades and mark attendance, use the Internet and e-mail, or attach to network resources like printers, CD-Rom towers and media centers,” said Carl Pavalok, Technical Services Coordinator for Virginia Beach City Public Schools. Building upon their existing relationship with Virginia Beach City Public Schools, Electronic Systems embraced the opportunity to create an active learning environment through the use of wireless technology, ensuring curriculum integration in each classroom.

ED372759 May 94 The Impact of School Library Media Centers on Academic Achievement. ERIC Digest. Author: Lance, Keith Curry ERIC Clearinghouse on Information and Technology, Syracuse, NY. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC INTRODUCTION Advocates of school library media programs have long been convinced of the relationship between quality library media programs and academic achievement. Most studies of this relationship were conducted between 1959 and 1979, were limited in scope, and usually used a small number of subjects in a limited geographical area. This study was designed both to update the existing research and to examine the relationship between library media programs and student achievement. METHODOLOGY Ideally, schools included in the sample for a study such as this would be selected on a random, stratified, or quota basis. None of these sampling designs was possible, because schools included in the sample had to have library media centers that responded to the 1989 survey of school library media centers in Colorado and had to use the Iowa Tests of Basic Skills (ITBS) or Tests of Achievement and Proficiency (TAP). These data were available for only 221 of 1,331 public elementary and secondary schools in Colorado during the 1988-89 school year. The study relied entirely upon available data about school library media centers and their school and community contexts to predict norm-referenced test scores.
