GEN,SEC: School-To-Work, Applied Academics

[Rod Beaumont <PARGROUP@AOL.COM>]

In late October we will be publishing a new newspaper / journal dedicated
towards ALL applied academic teachers in grades 6 - 14.  In particular we
will be focusing on BEST PRACTICES - what your teachers have done in their
classrooms.  We will dedicate articles towards legislative news as it
pertaines to TECH PREP, SCHOOL-TO-WORK, APPLIED ACADEMICS and other areas
that become of interest to our readers and subscribers.  We will have a
special focus issue directed at school board members which will highlight
items of specific interest to that audience.

In our BEST PRACTICES areas we neded YOUR HELP as the library and media
specialist across the country.  There is no other list that is as well read
as the LM_NET and no other list with such comprehensive subscribers.  As the
library / media specialist YOU know who is working with TECH PREP or with
APPLIED ACADEMIC projects in your school.  You know who will be affected by
SCHOOL-TO-WORK and you know who the 'movers and shakers' are within your
schools.  We need to hear about projects, class lessons, programs that are
being 'hits'.  We need to know about best practices, business partnerships,
internships, problems and how they were overcome.  The list is limitless.

We need articles and photographs to srat coming in to us.  We need them on
IBM 3.5" diskettes in any of the following formats:  Word Perfect 5.0 or
above, AmiPro, Word, Works.  Please talk with your staff.  We will send
interested parties the format required.  This is your time to share things on
an international level that will bring credit to YOUR school.

It is now September and already we have over 2000 districts subscribing to
the newspaper.  We need your input and your contacts.  Can you, Will you
please help us?

Schools, librarians, media specialist with interest should write to
ParGROUP@AOL.COM  we will send you further details. But for now we just need
your help to make this really work for the classroom, front line teacher.

Thank you.
