Investing 16 years and over $75 million, SAS will continue to fully fund the product’s development to help educators cope with a system in crisis. SAS CEO Jim Goodnight announced the change in 2008, strongly reaffirming the company’s more than 35-year commitment to education. “SAS Curriculum Pathways is now a free resource from SAS to our nation’s children,” said Goodnight. “Shrinking budgets and pricing structures should not stand in the way of America’s students receiving education technology that will engage them and better prepare them for today’s work force.” The country’s graduation rate is estimated to be 75 percent, leaving nearly one-fourth of students without a high school diploma, the essential credential for the workplace and for further education.

Trina Thompson has sued her alma mater, Monroe College of New York. Trina Thompson, 27, of the Bronx, graduated from New York's Monroe College in April with a bachelor of business administration degree in information technology. On July 24, she filed suit against the college in Bronx Supreme Court, alleging that Monroe's "Office of Career Advancement did not help me with a full-time job placement. I am also suing them because of the stress I have been going through. " The college responded that it offers job-search support to all its students. In her complaint, Thompson says she seeks $70,000 in reimbursement for her tuition and $2,000 to compensate for the stress of her three-month job search.

Essential Questions

Themes and essential questions help to frame student inquiry and promote critical thinking. They also provide a helpful framework for organizing a unit of study using a multi-genre approach. The themes to the left have been designated for instructional focus at each grade level. Teachers will use the designated grade-level theme to organize a multi-genre, thematic unit of study; the unit may last from 10 weeks (at a minimum) to 40 weeks (the entire year) at the teacher’s discretion. Good essential questions have some basic criteria in common: · They are open-ended and resist a simple or single right answer · They are deliberately thought-provoking, counterintuitive, and/or controversial · They require students to draw upon content knowledge and personal experience.
