    HE TANDARD T SFrom the Middle States Association Commissions on Elementary and Secondary Schools Spring 2015 My Advice to the Class of 2015! INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Message from MSA President Henry G. Cram, Ed.D Pennsylvania High School First to be Awarded Program of Distinction in Trying to find a message relevant to the graduates of 2015 is a challenge. Visual Arts Study hard, because success in life is based on what you know might be an appropriate theme, though not necessarily true. Nearly 200 Schools Choose your friends wisely because success is based on who you know is more pragmatic, but far less inspirational. Accredited or Reaccredited The truth is, what really counts is who you are and the kind of person you choose to become. Volunteer Voices That message is backed up by considerable anecdotal evidence from my own experience and a growing body of research. Psychologist Dr. Daniel Goleman, for You Spoke, We example, tells us that our emotional intelligence may be more important in determining our success than our IQ. Listened! Kristen van Ogtrop, writer for TIME Magazine, suggests something similar by acknowledging that much of what students really need to learn won’t get them in to college, but will make them better people. Instead of “racing to the top” van Ogtrop recommends aiming for the top and getting there “without knocking everyone else out of the way”. Who we become is more about learning to get along, working hard, making sacrifices and figuring out for ourselves who we want to be and the role we want to play in the world.

  • On the Application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC "Television
    COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 15.07.1996 COM(96)302 final COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE COUNCIL AND THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT on the application of Articles 4 and 5 of Directive 89/552/EEC "Television without Frontiers" EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the second monitoring report on the implementation of Article 4 (European works) and Article 5 (independently produced European works) of the 1989 "Television without Frontiers" Directive. It covers the years 1993 and 1994. As with the previous report, it is based on national reports provided by each Member State as regards the broadcasters under its jurisdiction. The conclusions of the report are as follows: * There is a marked improvement in the quality of reporting by Member States. A number of methological difficulties have been ironed out as compared to the previous period. * In quantitative terms, the data is comprehensive. * The report confirms that all Member States have transposed Articles 4 and 5, although the flexible wording of these provisions has resulted.in differing levels of effectiveness and in variations as regards the basis on which they are applied. * The number of channels surveyed was 148 (105 in 1992). Of these, 91 broadcast a majority proportion of European works in 1994 (as compared to 70 channels doing so in 1992). Moreover, in almost all Member States, the majority of mainstream terrestrial broadcasters (which account for by far the largest share of the audience) achieved, or exceeded by a considerable margin, the majority proportion. There was only a limited number of exceptions and in most of these cases the proportion remained close to 50%.

  • The History of the Development of British Satellite Broadcasting Policy, 1977-1992
    THE HISTORY OF THE DEVELOPMENT OF BRITISH SATELLITE BROADCASTING POLICY, 1977-1992 Windsor John Holden —......., Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD University of Leeds, Institute of Communications Studies July, 1998 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others ABSTRACT This thesis traces the development of British satellite broadcasting policy, from the early proposals drawn up by the Home Office following the UK's allocation of five direct broadcast by satellite (DBS) frequencies at the 1977 World Administrative Radio Conference (WARC), through the successive, abortive DBS initiatives of the BBC and the "Club of 21", to the short-lived service provided by British Satellite Broadcasting (BSB). It also details at length the history of Sky Television, an organisation that operated beyond the parameters of existing legislation, which successfully competed (and merged) with BSB, and which shaped the way in which policy was developed. It contends that throughout the 1980s satellite broadcasting policy ceased to drive and became driven, and that the failure of policy-making in this time can be ascribed to conflict on ideological, governmental and organisational levels. Finally, it considers the impact that satellite broadcasting has had upon the British broadcasting structure as a whole. 1 TABLE OF CONTENTS Abstract i Contents ii Acknowledgements 1 INTRODUCTION 3 British broadcasting policy - a brief history
