"The aim of this study is to examine the impact of charter schools on student achievement in the Great Lakes states: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin. This evaluation addresses two specific questions: How does student achievement in charter schools compare with student achievement in demographically similar, traditional public schools? Do charter schools show promise of being an effective strategy for improving student achievement over time, even if they are not yet outperforming traditional public schools?"--Page 1, Gary Miron, Chris L.

The Science Squad is a science outreach program of the Biological Sciences Initiative (BSI) at the University of Colorado at Boulder. The Science Squad is a group of graduate students from science and engineering departments who visit K-12 school classrooms to lead inquiry-based, hands-on science presentations for the K-12 students. Most of the presentations are aimed at secondary (middle and high school) levels, with a few available for elementary grades. This program provides an intensive teaching experience to Squad members as well as a science enrichment experience for the K-12 students and teachers., Sandra Laursen, Carrie Liston, Heather Thiry, Elisabeth Sheff, and Carolie Coates., Volume I: Benefits, costs, and trade-offs -- volume II: Career outcomes of participation for Science Squad members., Includes bibliographical references., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed May 2019)

The "hands off the Internet" era is over. The Federal Communications Commission's recent decision that ruled that Comcast's use of network management techniques violated its Internet Policy Statement confirms that the federal government is not content to allow broadband providers to operate free from any form of regulatory oversight. Broadband providers now need to defend their network management practices as "reasonable." Nevertheless, it remains to be seen what institutional strategy will be effective in answering the no longer hypothetical question of what constitutes "reasonable network management.", "August 25, 2008.", Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed April 2014)
