Extractions: Monster Senior Contributing Writer It seems like all the pieces are in place for the next giant leap in your career: Your friend told you his sister went back to school for a professional degree and, a week after graduation, landed a job with a $10,000 salary increase, so you know a degree would boost your pay. You know you're comfortable living on a student's diet of rice and beans from your college experience five years or three decades ago. You've got a couple of blank grad school applications on your dining room table, so why not fill them out and take the plunge? Before you quit your job or your search to pursue an MBA or other degree, you owe it to yourself to think more deeply about this major fork in the road of work and life. Here are some major checkpoints for your go/no-go decision on graduate school. Why Do You Want to Go Back to School? Begin your deliberations with the basics. "One of the most important factors is, where is this going to get you?" says Jane Finkle, a career counselor in Philadelphia. "You should research carefully what the employment opportunities are" for graduates of the program you're considering, Finkle adds. Are you looking for advancement in your current field of work, or do you want to change careers? Either can be a good reason to get a graduate degree if you've thought things through.

Releases Annual Back To School Survey Presta Says Parents Are Most Concerned About Classroom Discipline, Financial Literacy as School Year Begins San Francisco, Calif. - Parents of students heading to college this fall plan to spend on average, $618 per child on back to school expenses, more than twice what parents will spend on their high school students according to Visa U.S.A.'s Back To School Survey released today. According to the survey, parents will spend $218 per student in kindergarten or elementary school, $246 per child attending middle school, and $265 for back to school shopping per high school student. Half of the parents surveyed (51%) said they have prepared a budget for their back to school shopping. In addition to providing a look at parent's budgeting habits for the fall school season, Visa U.S.A.'s annual Back to School Survey revealed the top issues of concern for parents of school aged children. While 81 percent of parents said enforcing classroom discipline was their top concern, the second most important issue among parents of school-age children was financial literacy. Seventy-one percent of parents surveyed said the need for children to master practical money skills prior to graduation was "very important".

Their duties depend on the individuals they serve and on the settings in which they work. Educational, vocational, and school counselors Elementary school counselors observe younger children during classroom and play activities, and confer with their teachers and parents to evaluate their strengths, problems, or special needs. They also help students develop good study habits. They do less vocational and academic counseling than do secondary school counselors. School counselors at all levels help students understand and deal with social, behavioral, and personal problems. These counselors emphasize preventive and developmental counseling to provide students with the life skills needed to deal with problems before they occur, and to enhance personal, social, and academic growth. Counselors provide special services, including alcohol and drug prevention programs, and classes that teach students to handle conflicts without resorting to violence. Counselors also try to identify cases involving domestic abuse and other family problems that can affect a student's development. Counselors work with students individually, with small groups, or with entire classes. They consult and work with parents, teachers, school administrators, school psychologists, school nurses, and social workers.

Executive Summary: College Level Learning In High School The issues and questions surrounding collegelevel learning in high school involvemany stakeholders students, parents, high school administrators and teachers http://www.aacu-edu.org/publications/execsummary.cfm
Extractions: College-level learning in high school is a rapidly growing, yet remarkably little-studied, phenomenon. It includes the College Board's familiar Advanced Placement (AP) Program, characterized by course outlines and examinations in some eighteen subjects developed and graded by teams of AP high school teachers and college faculty, and normed against the performances of college students in the similar introductory courses in colleges and universities. With well over a million examinations taken by more than 700,000 high school students, AP plays an increasingly visible role in defining the content and the standards of high school college-entry-significant courses like English, history, mathematics, and foreign languages. College-level learning in high school also includes the much less visible (indeed, almost surreptitious), but also fast-growing, practice of certain colleges or universities (especially community colleges) granting credit on their transcripts for what are described as their courses, but that are taught to high school students by high school teachers in high school venues.

Extractions: [January 27] Jim Syler is going back to school. But Syler, 31, isn't going to Southern Illinois University (SIU) as a student. He's going to the campus to campaign as a candidate for a seat on the Carbondale City Council in April 2003. With the university's 23,000 students making up slightly more than half of the total population of the town, Syler said courting the student vote in his bid for a seat on the non-partisan council is crucial to getting elected. "There has been a lot of student animosity toward the local government in recent years," he said. "I'm marketing myself as the candidate who is in tune with the feelings and the desires of the students. I want to improve student/government relations." Over the years, SIU has earned a reputation as one of the nation's most enthusiastic party schools. The school makes Playboy magazine's "Top 10 Party Schools in America" list every year, noted Syler. But recently, he said that local government officials have sought to change the school's fun-loving image by curtailing the freedom of the students.
