In middle school, students are exposed to programs designed to enrich their core subject classroom education, which will ultimately prepare them for a successful transition into high school. Ample opportunities are provided to enhance their experience including extra-curricular clubs and a variety of electives such as robotics, public speaking, Spanish, visual and performing arts and competitive sports.
These opportunities are designed to help students develop social skills and help them acquire the academic foundation they need in order to succeed in high school. In addition to the college-preparatory instruction that takes place in high school, students challenge themselves further by enrolling in Honors and Advanced Placement courses. By the end of freshman year, high school students have the opportunity to qualify for and apply to one of four focus groups: health and medicine; engineering and technology; business and law; and communications/visual and performing arts.

Benchmarking is a way of discovering what is the best performance being achieved – whether in a particular company, by a competitor or by an entirely different industry. This information can then be used to identify gaps in an organization’s processes in order to achieve a competitive advantage.
Thus it is important for Six Sigma practitioners to: Understand fully the purpose and use of benchmarking.Understand the difference between benchmarking and competitor research.Gain insight to ensure that benchmarking is in alignment with the company’s management objectives. Benchmarking as a Tool Benchmarking is a process for obtaining a measure – a benchmark.
Simply stated, benchmarks are the “what,” and benchmarking is the “how.” But benchmarking is not a quick or simple process tool. Benchmarking is not just a matter of making inquiries to other companies or touring and documenting another company’s facilities or processes.

SILENCE PREVAILS AS SCHOOLS FAIL BLACK STUDENTS - Los Angeles Sentinel | Los Angeles Sentinel | African-American News. Public schools fail to educate Black students and a prolonged silence of the total community, parents and Black leadership especially, contributes to the problem. Inequities and near criminal negligence by urban school districts like the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) have virtually ensured that Black students do not receive a quality education. The African American Learners Initiative (2001) was a notable exception; it focused exclusively on LAUSD’s Black students, but out of the public’s eye, the Initiative morphed into the circuitous, “Action Plan for Culturally Relevant Education that Benefits Black Students and All Other Students.”
Even this weak substitute for the Initiative was not mandated; essentially, implementation was left up to school principals. The metamorphosis from the African American Initiative to the Action Plan for Black students and adding “….and all other students” was the death knell.

In this post I reviewed homeostasis and the many systems that make it up. In each of these systems there are three main components: receptors, effectors, and the control center. Throughout this post I described each of these components and explained how they work together to form systems.
