This book was released on 2005 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students who attend schools with environmental hazards that impact indoor air quality are more likely to miss class, and therefore lose learning opportunities. Yet school environmental health and safety remains largely unregulated and there is no state or federal agency in charge of protecting children's environmental health in schools. This report looks at information compiled from all public schools in two New York counties, and from a select group of schools from around the state that have reported environmental health and safety problems. The findings show that, despite the lack of an up-to-date system for collecting data on environmental hazards in schools, it is still possible to correlate existing information with state funding to repair hazards and to show that unhealthy schools rob students of valuable classroom learning time. Based on the conclusions of their research, the authors are making the following recommendations: (1) Replace the current system of annual school facilities reports with one using evidence-based assessments actionable in a short (one year) time frame and link it to state funding that is currently available under the minor maintenance and repair (MMR) program to mitigate identified hazards; (2) Create unified linking codes for each school and collect the data via the internet for better accuracy and public accessibility; (3) The New York State Education Department should make the facilities environmental quality data available to parents and the general public to facilitate improvement efforts; and (4) The methods used for this study, in particular the linked building and performance data, should be replicated in other counties around the state for more precision of analysis and targeting of priorities. Data for this report came from 18 separate school districts, six in Columbia County and 12 in Dutchess County, for the 2002-2003 school year. It was augmented by data collected from 11 of the same districts for the 2003-2004 school year. [Support for this report was provided by the Rockefeller Foundation's Working Communities Program.].

Book excerpt: The concepts of the past, centered more narrowly on traditional ways of learning to read and write, no longer suffice in a society that requires higher level skills from an increasingly diverse student population. Providing a new direction in literacy education, the chapters in this volume offer a revitalized perspective of literacy. They focus on the forms that literacy will take in the future, the influence of changing technologies and multimedia on curriculum and instructional practices, and on effective learning environments. These chapters incorporate the insights of researchers in several disciplines to examine ways of helping students develop the broad-based literacy skills they will need in order to participate fully in American society. Teachers, teacher educators, and others concerned with the future of nurturing and schooling will find challenging ideas for redefining instruction in literacy in this book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This document is comprised of two reports: (1) "Science-Based Recommendations to Prevent or Reduce Potential Exposures to Biological, Chemical, and Physical Agents in Schools" by Derek G. Shendell, Claire Barnett, and Stephen Boese (supported by grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences, and the National Clearinghouse for Educational Facilities of the U.S. Department of Education); and (2) "The Healthy and High Performance School: Improving Student Health Improving Student Achievement and Saving Money for Schools" (supported by grants from The Rockefeller Foundation and the National Institutes of Environmental Health Sciences). The first report, commissioned by Healthy Schools Network, provides a concise review of scientific literature related to school indoor environmental quality (IEQ). It is a state-of-the-art review of peer-reviewed scientific literature that demonstrates the impact that school environments have on student health and learning. It concludes with over a dozen recommendations for improving school environmental health and safety based on today's known science regarding school indoor air quality and related environmental health issues. The second second report describes the policy implications of the first report for New York state and draws together existing knowledge, data and research regarding school facilities, children's environmental health, and school facility impact on student achievement, to demonstrate that school facility issues are integral to the school reform and equity debates. It concludes with policy options for New York State leaders to improve student productivity and health through greater attention to school facility issues. (The first report contains 301 references and 3 appendixes; the second report contains a list of 49 endnotes.).
