Extractions: January 1999 Title VII Bilingual Education in Hawaii: Lessons Learned By Josephine Pablo, Belen Ongteco, and Stan Koki* To respond to these needs, educators are increasingly embracing bilingual education both as an educational strategy and as a means to make sure that students achieve proficiency in English. Recent research evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of bilingual education as the best way to educate limited-English proficient, or LEP children (Yzaguirre, 1998). In Hawaii, bilingual education projects have been implemented over the past two decades, beginning in 1974. Hawaii, one of the most linguistically diverse states in the nation, is a potential leader in bilingual and multicultural education, given the strengths and capabilities of its multicultural population. This briefing paper reviews the implementation of Title VII bilingual education in Hawaii for the purpose of sharing the lessons that have been learned from the experience. Bilingual Education on a Federal Scale In 1968, Federal support for the purpose of educating students with limited English skills was established through the enactment of the Bilingual Education ActTitle VII of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA). This act was designed to provide equitable educational opportunities for elementary and secondary students whose first languages are other than English and who have limited English proficiency.

Extractions: PowerPoint Presentation about GETN (file is approximately 1.4 Mb) The Government Education and Training Network (GETN) is a network of Federal Government agencies using a common satellite carrier for interactive television (1-way video, 2way audio). This interoperable network allows the various user agencies to share distance/distributed learning programs and use common facilities. Audio interaction is achieved using one of two systems: a push-to-talk system provided by A.T. Products (used by all DOD and a few other agencies), or a student response unit provided by One Touch Systems (used mostly by civilian agencies). GETN was conceived and developed in 1992 at Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio, by the Air Force Institute of Technologys Center for Distance Education, in partnership with the Army Logistics Management College at Ft Lee Virginia, and with the pioneering efforts in digital technology of the National Technological University of Ft Collins, Colorado. GETN has grown from 2 uplinks in 1993 to 12 digital-Ku-band satellite uplink broadcast centers with 13 video channels available reaching over 800 fixed-dish downlink sites located throughout the CONUS, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico.

PICHTR is chartered to promote and develop technology appropriate to the marine and tropical environment of the Asia-Pacific region and to assist, facilitate and support its application through technical services, education, and training. Much of our major project work is related to the applied research and development of renewable energy technology which is crucial to the sustainable development of the region and for which Hawaii is uniquely qualified through its rich human and natural resources.
