Voters Want an Overhaul of Nation’s High Schools
http://www.all4ed.org/publication_material/July2010Poll
A new poll released by the Alliance for Excellent Education finds that improving the quality of public high schools through the reauthorization of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (in its current version, No Child Left Behind) is a voting issue for over 80% of voters. Those polled believe the nation’s public high schools urgently need improvement, more so than middle schools or elementary schools. Over half say that their decision to vote for a current elected official in the 2010 congressional elections will be affected if Congress takes no action to reform NCLB.

Developing and Improving Modified Achievement Level Descriptors: Rationale, Procedures, and Tools
(June 2010)
Report
http://www.cehd.umn.edu/nceo/OnlinePubs/ALDtool/ALDtool.pdf
This paper from the National Center on Educational Outcomes provides a rationale, procedures, and tools to develop and improve alternate assessments based on modified achievement standards (AA-MAS) achievement level descriptors (ALDs). As states consider whether and how to develop an AA-MAS, they also develop a defense of their choices. This paper proposes a process to guide states so that stakeholders and policymakers can articulate, from the beginning, the educational rationale for their choices and the implications of this rationale for their design choices in developing ALDs.

Earning a High School Diploma through Alternative Routes
(June 2010)
Synthesis Report
http://www.cehd.umn.edu/nceo/OnlinePubs/Synthesis76/Synthesis76.pdf
Earning a standard diploma has become increasingly important. Not only does it improve post school outcomes, but it also has become a part of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) accountability system at the high school level, with the required graduation rate including only those students who have earned a regular or standard high school diploma or higher. The purpose of the study reported here, from the National Center on Educational Outcomes, was to examine the alternative routes to passing the high school exit exam that were available during the school year 2008-09 to students to earn a standard high school diploma. It examines alternative routes in the 26 states with active or soon-to-be active exit exams, and documents the alternative routes available for all students and those specifically for students with disabilities.

Toolkit
www.ncwd-youth.info/PAS-Toolkit

Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders among Young People
(March 2009)
Report
http://tinyurl.com/25kwppp
Mental health and substance use disorders among children, youth, and young adults are major threats to the health and well-being of younger populations, often carrying over into adulthood. The costs of treatment for mental health and addictive disorders are an enormous burden on the affected individuals, their families, and society. This burden can be lessened by finding prevention practices that impede the onset or reduce the severity of the disorders. “Preventing Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Disorders Among Young People” updates a 1994 Institute of Medicine book, “Reducing Risks for Mental Disorders,” focusing special attention on the research and work with younger populations that have been done since that time.
