Natl $6B Reading First Program -Rated Ineffective by Evaluators
Summary of Reading First Interim Report:
Created under the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB) of 2001, the Reading First program provides assistance to states and districts in using research-based reading programs and instructional materials for students in kindergarten through third grade and in introducing related professional development and assessments. The program's purpose is to ensure that increased proportions of students read at or above grade level, have mastery of the essential components of early reading, and that all students can read at or above grade level by the end of grade 3. The law requires that an independent, rigorous evaluation of the program be conducted to determine if the program influences teaching practices, mastery of early reading components, and student reading comprehension. This interim report presents the impacts of Reading First on classroom reading instruction and student reading comprehension during the 2004-05 and 2005-06 school years.
The evaluation found that Reading First did have positive, statistically significant impacts on the total class time spent on the five essential components of reading instruction promoted by the program. The study also found that, on average across the 18 study sites, Reading First did not have statistically significant impacts on student reading comprehension test scores in grades 1-3. A final report on the impacts from 2004-2007 (three school years with Reading First funding) and on the relationships between changes in instructional practice and student reading comprehension is expected in late 2008.

New Jersey Eighth-Graders Tops in the Nation in Writing
New Jersey Eighth-Graders Tops in the Nation in Writing
New Jersey eighth-graders are the best writers in the nation for their grade level, according to results from the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) tests given last winter, Education Commissioner Lucille E. Davy announced today.
In their first year taking the writing test, eighth-graders at 111 schools throughout New Jersey scored statistically better than all but one of the 45 states that participated in the writing test, according to the National Center for Educational Statistics.
“It is gratifying to see such a strong performance by our eighth-grade students,” said Governor Jon S. Corzine. “Effective writing skills are an essential element of competing and being successful in the 21st century economy and I am indeed pleased that the efforts of all of our educators are yielding such positive results.”
While New Jersey’s score was better than Connecticut’s, the difference was not statistically significant. New Jersey’s average scale score was 175, which is higher than the national average of 154. According to 2007 NAEP results, New Jersey eighth-graders performed better than their peers nationwide in the major subgroups tested: male, female, white, black, Hispanic, Asian/Pacific Islander, eligible for the National Lunch Program and not eligible for the National Lunch Program.
“Dating back to 1985, we have assessed our students’ ability to write as part of the Language Arts Literacy standardized tests,” Education Commissioner Lucille E. Davy said. “Every one of our standardized tests contains a written section. None of this happens overnight – these results stem from a continued focus on educational reforms and best practices. Our students understand what is expected of them and in this case, they achieved phenomenal results.
“The NAEP test is the only real national comparison to see how states stack up against one another,” Commissioner Davy continued. “To see these results – to be the best in the nation – is an incredible accomplishment. Our eighth-grade students have demonstrated they have a good foundation upon which they can build continued success.”
New Jersey students typically fare well on the NAEP tests. While NAEP didn’t test fourth-grade in writing in 2007, Gov. Corzine did laud fourth-graders for their success on both the reading and math tests when the results were announced in September:
§ In reading, New Jersey students trailed only Massachusetts and tied with three other states – Vermont, Connecticut and New Hampshire.
§ New Jersey fourth-grade math students fared better than students in every state in the nation except Vermont, New Hampshire, Minnesota and Kansas. As in the reading results, only Massachusetts scored higher.
“The findings of this study exemplify our commitment to improving educational attainment in our elementary schools,” Gov. Corzine said in September. “We equate our increases to sound preschool and early childhood education programs in New Jersey. They are providing our youngest students with a solid foundation of basic fundamentals, and the efforts are achieving positive results.” This is the first year New Jersey has participated in the NAEP writing test, which was given in January and February of last year. The score scale for the writing test is from 0 to 300 and is broken into four categories: below basic, basic, proficient and advanced proficient.
Among the key findings announced today:
§ The percentage of total students in New Jersey that performed at or above the proficient level (56 percent) is higher than the national average (31 percent);
§ New Jersey eighth-graders scored better than all states except Connecticut in the following categories: overall score, whites and males;
§ 98 percent of the white students who took the test scored at grade level;
§ Hispanic students scored slightly higher (162) than all other states except Wyoming (153) – according to the NCES, scores of 162 and 153 are not statistically different from one another for the NAEP test; and
§ New Jersey’s students with disabilities average scale score (139) was better than the national average (118), on par with Massachusetts and Connecticut and better than all other states that participated.
African-American students in New Jersey scored comparable to the national average on the test (152 versus 154) and better than the national average for the demographic.
While the majority of the findings are good news for New Jersey, Commissioner Davy said the gap between white and African-American student scores (32 points, which is greater than the national average of 22 points) needs to be addressed.
“While our African-American students scored on par with the national average, there is still work to be done,” the Commissioner said. “DOE has already implemented a Middle Schools to Watch program that will share best practices statewide. Also, through our new state monitoring system, we continue to pinpoint what is working and what isn’t. We are confident we will see improvement.”
The writing NAEP assessment is administered every four years at randomly selected schools. The writing test is voluntary. This year, Alaska, Maryland, Nebraska, Oregon, South Dakota and the District of Columbia chose not to participate.
NAEP does not provide scores for individual students or schools, but offers results regarding instructional experiences, school environment for populations of students (for example, fourth-graders and eighth-graders) and subgroups of those populations (for example, male students, students with disabilities).

College Summer Programs for black males
Call for Applications
The Institute for Responsible Citizenship is currently accepting applications for its summer programs in Washington, DC and New York City. The program in Washington focuses on public service, with most participants interested in careers in law, politics, and business. The New York City program focuses on career achievement and citizenship in the financial services industry.Washington Program DetailsEach summer, twenty-four of the most promising black male college sophomores in the country are given the chance to intern in the nation's capital while taking rigorous classes at Georgetown University. The courses in government and economics are designed to provide these young men with the skills necessary to critically analyze the world's problems while adhering to a deep respect for civil liberties. When the students are not in class or at work, they are often called upon to attend social functions designed to help them network in their field.

Register Online
Almost 25 million children in the U.S. are growing up in families without a father present, a number roughly two-and-half times higher than four decades ago. A growing body of research documents ways children benefit when they have engaged fathers, including better school performance, reduced substance abuse, less crime and delinquency, fewer emotional and other behavioral problems, and less risk of abuse or neglect. Federal initiatives have helped states create a broad array of programs that actively engage fathers in the lives of their families.
This web conference will analyze fatherhood research and programming as part of a broader movement to strengthen families. Panelists will also discuss promising strategies that some states are implementing to increase father involvement, and the potential for expanding and improving programs as new and continuing funding sources become available.

AMBI® Scholarship in Science & Medicine - for African-American and Hispanic females
AMBI® Skincare opens call for applications
seeking 2008 honorees for inaugural scholarship
Skillman, New Jersey. January 22, 2008. AMBI® Skincare announced today the creation of the AMBI® Scholarship in Science & Medicine. Now accepting online applications for 2008-2009 academic school year, the AMBI® Scholarship in Science & Medicine is a national program designed to recognize, reward and support African-American and Hispanic women who have a genuine ambition to pursue a career in science and medicine. These women are non-traditional students who may have taken a break from their academic careers but now desire to attend school while balancing family, work, and other personal goals. To help provide them with another opportunity to enter the science and medicine fields, AMBI® Skincare has contributed a total of $50,000 to be awarded to five African-American and Hispanic women, each receiving $10,000 towards tuition for any nationwide accredited science or medicine program.
The scholarship was established because of the need to offer more opportunities to minority women to continue their education. Statistics from leading organizations reveal a startling trend among Latinas and African-American women's education:
· 15.3 percent of African American women and 10.8 percent of Hispanic women, compared to nearly 25 percent of white women, hold college degrees (American Association of University Women Report)
· Hispanics make up about 14 percent of the population, but earned only 7.3 percent of the bachelor's degrees, 4.3 percent of the master's degrees, and 2.7 percent of doctorates in science and engineering fields in 2003-4. (Inside Higher Education, 2003-2004)
Open to African-American and Hispanic women who are legal residents of the United States, applicants must be 21 years of age or older and will also be asked to demonstrate financial need. Submissions will be accepted online beginning January 22, 2008 through March 21, 2008 and applicants must apply directly. No product purchase is necessary to be considered.
