Education Commission of the States (ECS)
ECS UNVEILS WHOLE HOST OF PUBLICATIONS AND INFORMATION
The Education Commission of the States (ECS) has released three briefing memos in the hopes of setting the 2008 education agenda. In addition, ECS has created interconnected web sites that provide a comprehensive picture of various education issues (first link), including news about what states are doing, the best publications available on particular topics and a list of other web sites with valuable information. The briefing memo focused on aligning early learning, K-12 and postsecondary systems (second link) includes information on the problems with implementing a P-20 system, but also potential solutions and ways readers can have a positive impact. Another briefing memo (third link) details how best to benchmark education to international standards, while at the same time protecting a local community's traditional responsibility in creating a comprehensive education. The prolific ECS hasn't stopped there, as a third brief (fourth link) discusses the 'hot issue' of the role education plays in economic and workforce development.
