		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>The U.S. Department of Education awarded the School of Education at the University of St. Thomas in Houston a $2.8 million Title V Education Grant to fund the Promoting Post Baccalaureate Opportunities for Hispanic Americans (PPOHA) Program. The purpose of the education grant is to implement programs to achieve parity among Hispanic graduate students and other underserved groups in retention and graduation rates.<br />
<br />
The education grant will offer two options for students seeking a master's degree in education (MEd): 1) a complete online MEd, or 2) a hybrid master's degree that combines online classes with traditional face-to-face classes.<br />
<br />
"This grant will not only infuse the master in education program with technology, it will also provide flexible course delivery for working adult students," said Dr. Robert LeBlanc, UST School of Education dean. "We will concentrate our efforts on achieving Hispanic graduate student enrollment that mirrors the percentage of Hispanics in Houston and the surrounding area."<br />
<br />
The University of St. Thomas will begin teaching graduate education online courses in the fall of 2010. Scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 will be awarded to Hispanic and low-income students in the second through fifth years of the grant. Graduate student fellowships are proposed to increase enrollment of Hispanics and low-income students in UST graduate programs.<br />
<br />
Proposed solutions include increasing the information technology infrastructure for online and hybrid delivery of six masters-level education courses per year in the areas of dual language instruction, special education and administration. By increasing access to and completion of these programs, the University of St. Thomas will not only boost enrollment but also help to fill the critical shortages of P-12 masters-level educators in these areas.<br />
<br />
"UST's master's education graduates are leaders who will train other teachers and thus have an influence far beyond a single classroom," UST President Dr. Robert Ivany said. "The success of this program will impact the educational pipeline for Hispanics at virtually every level." Visit our Web site at http://www.stthom.edu/education.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"The American Board for Certification of Teacher Excellence (www.abcte.org) (ABCTE) today announced it has partnered with the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce (http://fshcc.com) (FSHCC) to recruit and certify more teachers of color for high-need Florida schools.<br />
<br />
Currently, only 16% of teachers nationwide are individuals of color, compared with 41% of the student populations. FSHCC and ABCTE will work together on community outreach and obtaining local business involvement. The partnership has the goal of recruiting 300 new teachers for Florida schools over the next year. Free information sessions on the scholarship program will be held throughout the state this October.<br />
<br />
ABCTE's Teach and Inspire Scholarship Program offers a scholarship to earn certification and a $1000 stipend to program participants, and requires a 3-year teaching commitment in a high-need district and school. The scholarship is available for those pursuing Florida state teaching certification in the critical areas of math, science, and special education. Individuals can complete ABCTE's online certification program without additional college courses, and while working full-time. In order to obtain certification, candidates must demonstrate mastery on subject area and professional teaching knowledge examinations.<br />
<br />
ABCTE's Teach and Inspire Scholarship Program currently works with the following districts in Florida: Broward, DeSoto, Duval, Gadsden, Hardee, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, Polk, and Volusia.<br />
<br />
Individuals in the scholarship program are given additional support and mentorship throughout their program and once they enter the classroom. Already the scholarship program has recruited more than 150 career changers and recent college graduates to enter the teaching profession.<br />
<br />
Founded in February 2000, the FSHCC includes 28 chapters and more than 30,000 members. It is the only statewide economic development organization that addresses the Hispanic business market exclusively. The Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce offers Hispanic-owned and Hispanic-responsive businesses a voice at a local and state level, as well as a reliable venue for business development, marketing, continuing education and networking.<br />
<br />
"We look forward to working with the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce to find new ways to reach potential teachers in the Hispanic community," said ABCTE president David W. Saba.<br />
<br />
"We are very excited about our partnership with the ABCTE Teach and Inspire Scholarship Program to host information sessions throughout Florida for aspiring teachers," said Julio Fuentes, president &#038; CEO of the Florida State Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.<br />
<br />
Last year, 72,000 Florida students started the school year without a qualified teacher. America needs millions of new teachers over the next decade, and ABCTE is working hard to encourage more talented professionals to pursue teaching. ABCTE's Teach and Inspire Scholarship Program targets highly knowledgeable career changers to help fill teacher shortages in high-need schools, districts, and subject areas.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[<blockquote>"Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg and Schools Chancellor Joel I. Klein today announced that New York City’s four-year high school graduation rate continues to push upward, as it has every year under the Administration. The City’s four-year rate reached a new high of 55.8 percent in 2007, according to data released this morning by the New York State Education Department, with more students earning Regents diplomas and black and Hispanic students narrowing the graduation gap with their white and Asian peers. The State’s rates now include students who met graduation requirements in summer school following their senior year. Excluding these students to allow for comparisons with previous years, the City’s graduation rate has risen 5.7 percentage points since 2005, and 2.4 points since 2006. By comparison, graduation rates Statewide have risen by 2.8 points since 2005 and 1.4 points since 2006. The City’s increases translate into more than 5,000 additional students graduating since 2005. In addition, the City’s dropout rate has declined since 2005 by 3.3 points, to 14.7 percent from 18 percent. The Mayor and Chancellor were joined at Department of Education headquarters in the Tweed Courthouse by Deputy Mayor for Education and Community Development Dennis M. Walcott, United Federation of Teachers ( UFT ) President Randi Weingarten, UFT Chief Operating Office Michael Mulgrew, and Council of School Supervisors and Administrators ( CSA ) Executive Vice President Peter McNally.<br />
<br />
"The graduation rate is a crucial indicator of whether our school system is fulfilling its core mission - giving our children the skills they need to become successful adults," said Mayor Bloomberg. "After a decade of near-stagnation, New York City's graduation rate has climbed significantly since 2002. We clearly need to help larger numbers of students to graduate, but the progress we've made so far means that thousands more students are graduating today than would have six years ago."<br />
<br />
"Today's numbers confirm once again that steady progress is now the rule, not the exception, in New York City's public schools," said Chancellor Klein. "Although I'm pleased that the overall graduation rate is continuing to rise, it's especially encouraging to see that the biggest increases are among our black and Hispanic students. This is further evidence that we're beginning to close the shameful racial achievement gap in this City."<br />
<br />
Because this is the first year that the State included in its calculation students who graduated in August after their final semester, comparisons to previous years must exclude August graduates. Excluding those students, the City's four-year graduation rate rose to 52.2 percent in 2007 from 49.8 percent in 2006 and 46.5 percent in 2005. At the same time, the dropout rate fell to 14.7 percent in 2007, down from 15 percent in 2006 and 18 percent in 2005. The five-year graduation rate rose to 59.5 percent in 2007 from 55.7 percent in 2006.<br />
<br />
"Today is a day to congratulate teachers, principals, students and parents for all their hard work in keeping the graduation rate going in the right direction," said UFT President Randi Weingarten. "Tomorrow we must ask ourselves what more can we do to get our kids ready for college, to enter the workforce, to improve their life skills? That's going to require continued collaboration by everyone with a stake in our kids' education, and in so doing we will dramatically increase the graduation rates."<br />
<br />
"We are seeing gradual, steady increases in student graduation rates because school leaders, teachers and parents are truly working together to improve student learning and ensure every child receives a quality education," said CSA Executive Vice President Peter McNally. "Student achievement has always been a priority for school leaders, and while there is still more work to be done, with the proper resources we will continue to make progress.""</blockquote>
