Online mba,degree mccann university
The universities that offer the most popular Corporate Certificate Programs in USA are McCann University and Phoenix University. McCann is more famous for its close relationship with many multi-national corporations (they have been working esp. successfully with many European corporations, such as in Germany and France), while Phoenix is more targeting at excellent Science Study programs (Qualified students can start to work for many science labs or Software Corporations even before graduation).
Just like Internet is rapidly changing traditional medias (such as newspaper and magazine), online Universities are rapidly changing the traditional pattern of campus education.
In fact, Corporate Certificate Programs is a bridge built between students and corporations, both sides greatly benefit from the program. And it is the online universities who initiated the process. Now many campus colleges are also starting to offer Corporate Certificate Programs, but they can not compete in their flexibility, of course.
And apart from issuing accredited degrees and diplomas, online universities are offering more practical package for the job-targeting students: Corporate Certificate Programs. These programs are usually a cooperation program between the online universities and corporations. The universities can increase employment rate and attract more students; the corporations can get exactly the talents they want continuously at a low cost; he students won’t have to worry about the job-hunting process after graduation.

OHIO Department of Education top in U.S
Education Week Rates States' Educational Systems
Ohioans have many reasons to be proud of our educational system. Ohio is 7th in the nation in the 12th annual Quality Counts report released by Education Week on Jan. 9. Ohio received an overall score of 80.6, giving us a B- compared to a C for the nation. None of the 50 states or the District of Columbia scored higher than a B.
This achievement can be attributed to Ohio’s dedicated teachers, administrators, students and families, who have worked to continuously improve Ohio’s schools. Ten years ago, Ohio was “stuck in the middle” when compared to other states. Today, Ohio is a leader in the nation. While we know we have future work ahead of us, let’s celebrate our successes today.
Quality Counts 2008: Tapping Into Teaching examines critical factors that can improve teaching and learning. The information used to develop this report is culled from a variety of sources, including sources other than the Ohio Department of Education, and may not reflect all of Ohio’s current data. The six areas examined include:
Standards, Assessments and Accountability
Ohio received high marks for the current system of standards, assessments and accountability and ranked 7th in the nation with a score of 93.2, resulting in a grade of A.
Ohio was given credit for academic content standards that explain what students should know in every grade level and subject that are aligned with our state tests.
Ohio received a high grade for using extended response questions on achievement tests, instead of just multiple choice.
In addition, the state earned a perfect score for a unified system of rating schools and districts that combines both state rankings and the federal measure of Adequate Yearly Progress.
K-12 Achievement
Ohio ranked 14th nationally in this category based upon achievement, improvements over time and equity. No state excelled in all three areas.
Strong reading and math scores in 4th and 8th grades bolstered Ohio’s performance on the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), often referred to as the Nation’s Report Card.
Ohio students also made strong gains on NAEP between 2003 and 2007 and narrowed the gap between the performance of lower and higher income students, based on national school lunch program eligibility.
In the report, Ohio’s graduation rate of 74.7 percent was higher than the national average of 69.9 percent. It should be noted that Education Week used a different method of calculation than the Ohio Department of Education reports, resulting in a different graduation rate.
The report noted that 11th- and 12th-grade student participation on the Advanced Placement tests lagged behind the national rate.
Transitions and Alignment
Ohio scored 12th in the nation on how well the K-12 education system aligns with preschool and postsecondary education.
Ohio received a perfect score for the alignment of the early childhood education system to the elementary, middle and high school system.
Ohio has made considerable efforts to ensure students are ready for college, yet the state received no credit for the Ohio Core legislation or the Partnership for Continued Learning.
Ohio Core legislation requires more rigorous curriculum in preparation for college. The program was not in place at the time of data gathering, which is why Ohio did not receive credit.
Through the Partnership for Continued Learning, the Governor’s Office, State Board of Education, Ohio Department of Education and Ohio Board of Regents are working to align curriculum, testing, and college entrance requirements to create a seamless P-16 system of education in the state.
The Teaching Profession
Ohio ranked 14th nationally when looking at the way the state prepares and assesses teachers.
The state received high marks for the data system that monitors teacher quality.
The state also received high marks for the system of evaluation of teachers and teacher preparation programs.
Ohio received credit for strong mentoring and induction programs for new teachers and administrators.
Ohio did not receive credit for incentives to teachers to work in hard-to-serve areas and fields.
In the areas of teacher incentives, pay-for-performance and differentiated roles for educators, Ohio received no credit because the report did not recognize programs that are not fully established or deployed statewide. Ohio has a nationally recognized Teacher Equity Plan that is addressing these issues through pilot programs in urban school districts and close monitoring of teacher distribution.
School Finance
Ohio ranked 13th nationally for its system of financing schools, scoring above the national average in the amount of money spent per pupil adjusting for regional cost differences.
The state also ranked above the national average in the percentage of taxable resources spent on education.
Ohio ranked 8th in the nation when comparing the difference between low-spending and high-spending districts.
Chance for Success
The Chance for Success score placed Ohio in the middle of the states, tied for 24th, based upon 13 economic, environmental and educational factors. Governor Strickland has targeted many of the areas that are in need of improvement.
Ohio received strong ratings for the K-12 education experience as well as graduation rates, family income and the proportion of parents who are fluent English speakers.
Ratings remained average for factors influencing adults, including postsecondary participation and steady enrollment.
Ohio received low ratings for parent education, annual income and adult educational attainment.
The kindergarten enrollment rating was based on a national household survey that is not consistent with the Ohio Department of Education’s data, which reflects higher numbers.

Intel International Science and Engineering Fair May 11-16, 2008
Intel International Science
and Engineering Fair 2008
Presented by Agilent Technologies
Atlanta, Georgia USA
May 11-16, 2008
The worlds best young scientists, including many Georgia students, will be “Uniting the World Through Science” in Atlanta at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair 2008 (Intel ISEF) May 11-16, 2008. During Intel ISEF, these students will be inspired by Nobel Laureates, academicians, and leading scientists and researchers from our city of Atlanta, the State of Georgia, and around the world.
This is the culminating event for a network of science fairs held around the world. These students have acquired skills in identifying and isolating important problems or questions; planning for the solution of problems or the answers to questions; using organized, logical thought and study to reach conclusions; and verbal and visual communication. Students bring projects which represent many months, and sometime years, of concentrated research. They have done science! What every employer wants, right?
Participation in this network of science fairs provide employers with a pool of potential employees having the skills and knowledge of strategies necessary to be leaders in technology, medicine and health, agriculture, environmental science, and engineering.
Their work will be judged by professional scientists. The judges look for a communicative presentation, and more importantly, for the basic understanding the students have of their research and for new knowledge the student has gained through the process.
Gathering at the Georgia World Congress Center; and in various other local forums next May, the world’s top scientists and researchers of all ages will share ideas; engage in formal and informal discussions and presentations; participate in formal judging and presentation; and be recognized for their excellence on a national and international stage.
Georgia, and the city of Atlanta, are honored to host this annual event. The Intel ISEF is the crowning achievement, the Olympics of science competitions in the United States, and around the world.
