It is from a report I wrote as described below. It may be that the footnotes do not convert -- Sorry if so. Stephanie Cecil/SCecil123@aol.com The following is a section taken from a new report on STW by Texas Eagle Forum Education Liaison, Stephanie Cecil, entitled Is Society Certifiable, A Report Examining School-to-Work: A Plan for Testing, Certifying and Tracking Everyone in America. The report is 150 pages and has over 900 footnoted references. It can be obtained by sending $20 + $3 dollars for postage to: Stephanie Cecil, 6540 Levey County Line, Burleson, Tx., 76028.

They have changed the name of the New Standards Project. I suppose the change came because so many parents and teachers caught on to the fact that the New Standards weren't really standards at all, at least not academic standards. The new fuzzy name is....America's Choice Performance Standards....sounds good but the NCEE fails to mention that it is NOT America's Choice as we don't have any choice. Information can be found at http://www.ncee.org/ac/acdesc.html includes the Key Features and comments by New York City Chancellor Rudy Crew on how his district has implemented the program. Have fun.
