DESCRIPTORS *Accountability; *Educational Assessment; Elementary Secondary Education; Evaluation; *Profiles; Program Implementation; Reports; School Policy IDENTIFIERS *Dependents Schools ABSTRACT This report is part of a two-volume publication that outlines the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) 5-year plan to transform education in DoD schools. It is based on the vision that the DoDEA will be a learner-centered organization, unbound by traditional school concepts of time, location, and age requirements, and will be recognized for its ability to provide students with the knowledge and high-level skills required for success. The accountability profiles presented here provide information on the school, district, area, and system levels. The report is divided into two documents. The first document includes the system, area, district, and school profiles for the Department of Defense's overseas schools, whereas the second document focuses on the department's domestic schools. The areas, districts, and schools are organized alphabetically within each larger organizational group. Each profile includes student-enrollment data, the mobility rate, the military services and civilian groups served by DoDEA schools, professional-educator demographics, and the percentage of teachers who have completed various levels of education. Each profile also includes principals' and superintendents' assessments, listing the highlights of their programs, important benchmarks for growth, parents' perceptions of the schools, and each school's degree of parent participation. -
ABSTRACT ARDOIN, MARY SONJA. Learning a Different Language
ABSTRACT ARDOIN, MARY SONJA. Learning a Different Language: Rural Students’ Comprehension of College Knowledge and University Jargon. (Under the direction of Dr. Audrey Jaeger). Learning a Different Language: Rural Students’ Comprehension of College Knowledge and University Jargon is a descriptive, collective qualitative case study of how rural students obtain and comprehend college knowledge and decode university jargon. Research sites included two high schools in one specific school district in rural, south Louisiana from which eight sophomore students and two high school counselors were chosen as participants. In- depth interviews, on-site observations, and document analysis provided insight into the cultural capital and habitus of the area and the processes rural students and counselors use to obtain and comprehend college knowledge and university jargon. Seven overall themes emerged from the data: 1) Ways of Thinking and Being in a Rural Community, 2) Mixed Signals about Educational Choices, 3) Counselors’ Crusade of College Counseling, 4) Students’ College Hopes, Dreams, and Realities, 5) Step One to College Knowledge and University Jargon: Being Aware, 6) Step Two to College Knowledge and University Jargon: The Ability to Both Recognize and Define Terms, and 7) Step Three to College Knowledge and University Jargon: Finding Processes of Seeking and Understanding Information. Implications and recommendations for assisting high school counselors with college counseling, building students’ cultural capital, and encouraging higher education -
Quantitative Literacy: Why Numeracy Matters for Schools and Colleges, Held at the National Academy of Sciences in Washington, D.C., on December 1–2, 2001
NATIONAL COUNCIL ON EDUCATION AND THE DISCIPLINES The goal of the National Council on Education and the Disciplines (NCED) is to advance a vision that will unify and guide efforts to strengthen K-16 education in the United States. In pursuing this aim, NCED especially focuses on the continuity and quality of learning in the later years of high school and the early years of college. From its home at The Woodrow Wilson National Fellowship Foundation, NCED draws on the energy and expertise of scholars and educators in the disciplines to address the school-college continuum. At the heart of its work is a national reexamination of the core literacies—quantitative, scientific, historical, and communicative — that are essential to the coherent, forward-looking education all students deserve.

Foreword ROBERT ORRILL “Quantitative literacy, in my view, means knowing how to reason and how to think, and it is all but absent from our curricula today.” Gina Kolata (1997) Increasingly, numbers do our thinking for us. They tell us which medication to take, what policy to support, and why one course of action is better than another. These days any proposal put forward without numbers is a nonstarter. Theodore Porter does not exaggerate when he writes: “By now numbers surround us. No important aspect of life is beyond their reach” (Porter, 1997). Numbers, of course, have long been important in the management of life, but they have never been so ubiquitous as they are now. -

Illinois Hockey Hall of Fame Class of 2018
ILLINOIS HOCKEY HALL OF FAME CLASS OF 2018 Kevin Bolger Builders’ Category Kevin was raised on the West Side of Chicago, the oldest of six children. During the 50's and 60s, there were no ice rinks or ponds in the area. Hockey was a dream and a sport that was played on the streets, alleys or sometimes in the playground if they froze it. Hockey sticks were often shared and rare to come by. They had one puck which was also shared. That was the extent of the equipment. Hockey was always Kevin’s favorite sport and the Blackhawks his favorite team. He followed them whenever they were televised and occasionally went to the Stadium to watch his hero Stan Mikita light it up. While in college, Kevin married Leah Nino and joined the Chicago Police Department. After graduating from De Paul, he attended IIT Chicago-Kent College of Law. Upon Graduating and passing the Bar he became a Cook County State’s Attorney. There was no time for his sport until going into private practice in 1980. Finally as an adult Kevin was able to accomplish two childhood dreams - season tickets with the Hawks and playing organized hockey with Hockey North America. Fortunately his bride shared his enthusiasm for hockey. Kevin and Leah started a family and moved to Winnetka. Their oldest son Kevin was born in 1988. Much to his father’s surprise, Kevin came home from kindergarten announcing that he wanted to play hockey. He played with the minor mite house league and volunteered his dad as a coach. -
