The four states not on board, as of Friday, were Alaska, Missouri, South Carolina, and Texas. ?This is a giant step,? said U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan, who has been pushing states to adopt common, rigorous standards. ?It would have unimaginable, this kind of thing, just a year or two ago.? As for those states holding out, he said: ?I?m not focused on politics, but there?s plenty of time? for them to sign on. In each of the 46 states, both the governor and the chief education officer signed a memorandum of agreement committing to the process and development of voluntary, common standards?the tangible result of a daylong meeting in Chicago in April. The District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have also agreed to take part. ?It?s going to take both the governor and the chief to get this work done,? said Dane Linn, the director of the education division of the Washington-based NGA?s Center for Best Practices. ?This is really becoming an economic and a moral imperative. We can?t afford to keep operating in a vacuum.? The groups plan to pursue their aggressive timeline of getting college- and career-readiness standards?those things students should know by the time they finish high school?in draft form for states and eventually the public to review in July. Grade-by-grade standards?which the organizers are also calling ?learning progression standards??are set to be done in December. Working groups composed of representatives from the Washington-based group Achieve, the New York City-based College Board, and ACT Inc., the Iowa City, Iowa-based organization that administers the college-entrance test of that name, will develop the standards. Both the NGA and the CCSSO plan to create a ?validation? committee made up of independent national and international experts in content standards to review and comment on the drafts. The experts will be nominated by states and organizations, but ultimately chosen by those two organizations. Once the standards are agreed to, it will be up to the states to get them adopted. The signed memo stipulates that the common core must represent at least 85 percent of a state?s standards, and that the common core needs to be adopted within three years. The memo also spells out that the governors? association and the state chiefs? council will convene a ?national policy forum? to facilitate the sharing and coordination of this standards effort. The forum will include the Alliance for Excellent Education, the Business Roundtable, the National School Boards Association, the Council of the Great City Schools, the James B. Hunt Jr. Institute for Leadership and Policy, and the National Association of State Boards of Education. Lengthy Process The 46-state commitment follows an April 17 meeting in Chicago that drew 41 states. The one-day summit was meant to get education chiefs and governors? policy advisers in a room to learn about the effort, and eventually to commit to it. ( "NGA, CCSSO Launch Common Standards Drive," April 20, 2009.) ?We didn?t want them to join in a cavalier way,? said Gene Wilhoit, the executive director of the Washington-based CCSSO. ?It?s time for a very serious effort.? A primary goal is to eliminate the patchwork of academic standards across the country that result in students in the same grades learning different things in different states. The effort also is intended to devise a more rigorous common set of academic targets, and then internationally benchmark them. But that isn?t a persuasive argument for officials in Texas, which just approved new English and math standards, and developed and ordered new testing materials and textbooks as a result. Switching gears could cost the state up to $3 billion, said Texas Education Agency spokeswoman DeEtta Culbertson. ?The economic reasons [for holding out] are substantial,? she said. In South Carolina, a spokesman for Gov. Mark Sanford said that the state has a separately elected superintendent of education, and that Gov. Sanford, a Republican, deferred to Superintendent Jim Rex to make the decision. ?The governor does not have a role in implementing education policy,? spokesman Joel Sawyer said. But even though Mr. Rex, a Democrat, has signed on, Gov. Sanford will still not sign the agreement, Mr. Sawyer added. Pete Pillow, a spokesman for the education superintendent, said the state education department is already preparing to pursue the common standards even if South Carolina isn?t officially part of the larger group. Missouri isn?t necessarily holding out for good, but is currently searching for a new education chief. Gov. Jay Nixon, a Democrat, wanted to wait until a new chief is on board, which will probably be this summer, said spokesman Scott Holste. A call to the education department in Alaska was not returned. For states that are forging ahead, there could be a financial payoff. Chiefs and governors have their eyes on federal economic-stimulus money in the $4.35 billion Race to the Top fund, authorized as part of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, which Secretary Duncan will dole out in the form of competitive grants to states. (The memo of agreement mentions the Race to the Top Fund as a possible revenue source.) Mr. Duncan and President Obama are pushing for voluntary common content standards. The U.S. Department of Education is finalizing the application process for the Race to the Top money, said spokesman John White. Although states will need to submit individual applications for that aid, states will still be asked to collaborate on their proposals, Mr. White said. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Her recognition of its significance led to thirty years of research and recovery regarding astronomical expressions in the complex architecture and art of an ancient people. These efforts changed forever our perception of the meaning and purpose of Chaco. Ms. Sofaer will present information from her new book documenting thirty years of research regarding the ?Sun Dagger? site, lunar and solar alignments of the major Chaco buildings, and implications of the true function of the Great North Road. Chaco Astronomy is featured in the Museum?s new exhibit ?Space Frontiers.? Ms Sofaer will be joined by Paul Pino, Tribal Council Member and former War Chief of Laguna Pueblo. He will speak of his insights about Puebloan heritage and its relationship to Chaco. Anna Sofaer is Director of the non-profit Solstice Project, that conducts research, preservation and education efforts on the astronomical expressions of the Chacoan Culture of the Southwest. She has worked with anthropologists, astronomers, geographers, and modern Pueblo people. She produced, directed and co-wrote ?The Mystery of Chaco Canyon? shown on PBS and National Geographic channels. $7 adults, $6 members/seniors, $4 students. Purchase in advance to guarantee your seats at: www.naturalhistoryfoundation.org or at the door before the talk; doors open at 6:15 p.m. Curator?s Coffee Join us for a casual discussion followed by a themed tour.

Join us for a morning discovering bosque biology and participate in this 12-year study of the health and ecology of our cottonwood forests. Participants will learn about how youth are actively involved in citizen science and how this data is used by the University of New Mexico, the Long Term Ecological Research network, and public land managers. Data will be collected from the BEMP sites near the San Juan Chama Drinking Water Diversion Dam and will include monthly precipitation, leaf litter biomass, and monitoring multiple groundwater table wells. Bring a picnic lunch to enjoy while discussing how climate change has affected the health of the Rio Grande bosque. Kimi Scheerer is the Education Coordinator for BEMP and thoroughly enjoys ?BEMPin? it Up!? at schools and different community events around New Mexico! Ms. Scheerer relocated to Nuevo Mexico in 2006 after a career in marine biology at various nature centers, aquariums, ecological institutes and residential school programs, Costs: $5 (grant funding is allowing us to reduce the price for this trip) Field Trip Sevilleta Long Term Ecological Research Station Scott Collins, Ph.D. Saturday, July 18, 2009, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Sevilleta is one of the largest refuges in the National Wildlife System, but it is generally closed to the public. Join us on a rare trip to this important New Mexico refuge. The Refuge is host to a Long Term Ecological Research Station (LTER), a biological field station operated by the University of New Mexico Biology Department. The refuge is positioned at the intersection of several major biotic zones: Chihuahuan Desert grassland and shrubland to the south, Great Plains grassland to the north, Pi?on-Juniper woodland in the upper elevations, Colorado Plateau shrub-steppe to the west, and riparian vegetation along the middle Rio Grande Valley. Because of the confluence of these major biotic zones, the Sevilleta presents an ideal setting to investigate how climate variability and climate change act together to affect our New Mexico ecosystems. We will get to explore the refuge and learn about current research being done there. We will drive on the refuge in vans. Scott Collins, Professor, & Director, Sevilleta LTER, earned his doctorate in Oklahoma. His research interests include: plant community dynamics; the role of disturbance in communities; fire ecology; landscape ecology; grassland ecology; analysis of species distribution and abundance. $50 public, $40 members Classes All classes will be held at the Museum.
