This is the story of Jamie Laudert, a Minneapolis resident, who received City funds to weatherize her home. As part of the Climate Legacy Initiative, the Minneapolis Health Department's Green Cost Share and Lead and Healthy Homes programs offer community members like Jamie assistance in making weatherization and other energy-saving improvements to their homes. The Climate Legacy Initiative is a $10 million annual commitment to reduce utility bills, increase green job opportunities, plant more trees, and help Minneapolis become carbon-neutral by 2050.  For more information and to apply to various programs, including weatherization, visit www.minneapolismn.gov/green-cost-share/

In April 2010, the New York State Board of Regents challenged the library community to rethink the State's vast array of library services to ensure that they are aligned with modern expectations and the expanded functions needed in today's society, operate with improved efficiency, and are prepared for the future as an essential and vibrant part of the State's educational infrastructure. Working through the Regents Advisory Council, library users, trustees, and staff have spoken out with regard to their libraries, offering not only affirmation of the importance of libraries, but also numerous suggestions for progress and models of success. The Board of Regents is responsible for the general supervision of all educational activities within the State of New York. The Board of Regents charters public and association libraries, as well as Pre K-12 schools, colleges and universities, and cultural institutions, both public and private, which operate school, academic and special libraries as a critical component of their educational programs and services. The Board of Regents also oversees the New York State Library and the 73 library systems that tie these libraries and other special libraries--located in hospitals, courts, businesses, government agencies, prisons, and other public and private organizations--together into a robust statewide network of some 7,000 libraries. The Board of Regents must also articulate and promote a vision that inspires and promotes excellence in all the educational institutions within its purview. The primary purpose of this document is to provide the Board of Regents with a clear vision of what excellent libraries should look like and to offer models of success that may be emulated by libraries throughout New York. Specific Regents' policy suggestions that would move this vision forward are noted where appropriate. The Vision 2020 Recommendations call for a wide range of change, including initiatives to educate the public concerning the role and value of libraries, to meet the challenge of e-resources, to develop enhanced collaborations with other libraries and organizations, to support open content, and to oppose censorship. There are specific recommendations for the various library types (school, academic, public, and special) as well as for library systems and the New York State Library. This plan makes it clear that libraries--as educational institutions and community centers--are central to the well-being and economic development of the state. The hope is that this report to the Board of Regents makes clear that without increases in financial support, libraries cannot be sustained and continue to be responsive to the evolving needs of the state's residents.

In 2012, the Marine Corps Plans, Policy, & Operations Branch published the Marine Corps Approach to 21st Century Theater Security Cooperation. Highlighted in this document is the Commandant of the Marine Corps' charge to develop innovative ways for the Marine Corps to conduct Theater Security Cooperation. The Marine Corps can meet this challenge and improve Theater Security Cooperation activities with the establishment of a headquarters Command element for SPMAGTF-SCs. This additional organizational structure change will allow the Marine Corps to conduct more effective Theater Security Cooperation engagements during the post Iraq and Afghanistan Wars period. This subject is relevant because security cooperation enables access and promotes U.S. interest abroad. By establishing nonrotational, standing Security Cooperation MAGTF headquarters, to plan and administer security cooperation activities, the Marine Corps will improve its ability to support the Geographic Combatant Commanders.

This paper is part of the the National Institute of Justice's (NIJ's) Comprehensive School Safety Initiative (CSSI), a research-focused program that focuses on increasing the safety of schools nationwide and reducing school crime and violence. School climate has a clear impact on all members of the school community; students in schools with a positive and communal climate demonstrate stronger academic achievement and engagement, better socio-economic health, and lower levels of absenteeism, truancy, dropping out, and victimization. On the whole, however, the benefits resulting from a positive school climate have not been translated into effective educational practice, and the gap between school climate research and policy is wide. This report explores some ways to help address this problem and improve school climate through four policy and research recommendations which involve defining, assessing, exploring, and improving school climate.

The global phenomenon of digitalization is increasingly going local. Worldwide, informal online platform work is growing, creating new jobs. Rwanda is a unique example. The central African country has seen increasing migration of young people from rural to urban areas. These young people need jobs-and both formal jobs, and more informal work in the gig and platform economy are providing opportunities. But how is this working? Many potential employees need to acquire new skills, including language skills. And can these trends create jobs that are decent and provide social protection? In this podcast, Elvis Melia of Meliacred, an expert at the German Institute on Development and Sustainability and the lead of a new study funded by the German Agency for International Cooperation (GIZ) looks at Rwandan jobs in the digital era.

In June of 2020, Lissa Pawlisch, CERTs Statewide Director, sat down virtually for a conversation with Marie Donahue, Sustainability Storyteller with CERTs. It was just a month into Marie's time at CERTs, a few months into the COVID-19 pandemic, and following the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis that sparked uprisings demanding racial justice across the state and country. We discussed where the work of CERTs and partners to advance clean energy in the state fits in this landscape and what might come next. Read more .

Transit Forward RI 2040A Transit Master Plan for Rhode Island

A small but growing number of schools and districts across the country are experimenting with personalized learning, an innovation that customizes students' experiences to their individual needs and strengths. Through new kinds of environments, technologies, and ways to demonstrate their knowledge, personalized learning aims to meet students where they are and allows them to advance to more challenging material whenever they are ready. Personalized learning is rooted in the expectation that students should progress through content based on demonstrated learning instead of seat time. By contrast, standards-based accountability centers its ideas about what students should know, and when, on grade-level expectations and pacing. The result is that, as personalized learning models become more widespread, practitioners are increasingly encountering tensions between personalized learning and state and federal accountability structures. Common pain points include year-end summative assessments that focus exclusively on grade-level content, limited end-of-year testing windows, and rating systems that measure school performance based on student proficiency against grade-level standards rather than growth over time. Policymakers at all levels of government appear ill equipped to handle these issues, choosing to avoid the looming conflicts and shying away from existing tools that could be deployed to ease the tensions. This is a missed opportunity. Most personalized learning models are nascent and evolving. They need strong accountability to validate whether they work and enable the best--and only the best--to scale. And personalized learning models could help more schools meet accountability goals, by providing customized learning experiences that fill gaps in students' foundational knowledge and accelerate learning for those who are far behind grade level. The challenge for policymakers is to protect the progress made under the old accountability system while creating space for new educational models to flourish under the next iteration of school accountability. This paper seeks to help policymakers enable smart innovation while also safeguarding the key functions of accountability systems. Understanding the development of personalized learning and accountability--as well as the emerging tensions between them--will help policymakers create accountability policies that complement and support personalized learning approaches rather than work against them.

In this week's episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale talk about ending sales calls with a good understanding of what is going to happen next, instead of letting the deal become stalled. So how do you do this? It's pretty simple, at the end of a sales call, you need to know if you and the prospect are going to continue moving along with this deal, or if this just isn't going to work. This is very important for you, because it will help you waste less time on deals that might not happen, and allow you to have more time to spend on the ones that will happen. There are many other vital parts to this process in this episode, so don't miss it. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] or on our new toll free number,1-877-637-8853.

Creating a Bright Future

Leaders representing the major professional organizations involved with learning assistance and developmental education and learning assistance conducted a strategic analysis of the field and reflected upon these organizations in particular. These organizations were: Association for the Tutoring Profession, College Reading and Learning Association, National Association for Developmental Education, National Center for Developmental Education, National College Learning Center Association, and National Tutoring Association). These leaders were members of an ad hoc task force called the Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC). They were appointed by the professional organizations that were members of the American Council of Developmental Education Associations (ACDEA). Now this umbrella organization has changed its name to the College Learning Assistance and Developmental Education Associations (CLADEA). The ACDEA charged the BRC with conducting a strategic analysis of the profession and to report their findings back for guidance regarding potential planning decisions by the ACDEA member organizations. This report was intended as a catalyst for conversation and reflection at this crucial time. The report concluded many opportunities were identified to coordinate, collaborate, and to create new activities, services, and structures to better meet the needs of current and potential members. Rather than attempting to evaluate the merits of each of these three avenues in this report, the goal was foster an informed conversation about the future. The choices made by the organizations may include a combination of activities among these three categories. The critical next step is for a wider conversation among members of the organizations to take place concerning the future of the profession.
