"Gainful Employment" Rules Leave Many Disappointed Caralee J. Adams, Education Week

Ninety-thousand comments and numerous meetings later, a yearlong effort to draft
new regulations for career-college programs has resulted in scant satisfaction,
from supporters and critics alike, though the programs clearly gained more time
to change their ways. At the heart of the battle are 14 regulations-including the
most controversial, on gainful employment-aimed at improving the transparency and
quality of career programs. Under the new regulation, a program can lose access
to federal student aid if too many of its students fail to find "gainful employment"
as defined by three measures linked to loan repayment and income.

Arguing Separate but Equal: A Study of Argumentation in Public Single-Sex Science
Classes in the United StatesHoward M. Glasser (former STEM Equity Pipeline Consultant),
International Journal of Science, Gender and Technology

This study investigated students' grades and the discursive practice of argumentation
in an all-boy and an all-girl science class taught by the same teacher at a public
co-educational middle school in the United States to explore whether they learned
the same science. Although the classes received similar grades, the boys gained
greater exposure to argumentation, a skill that could assist them in future science
pursuits. The emerging theory is that single-sex settings can construct differences
between the sexes, possibly aiding the development or maintenance of differences
between boys' and girls' interest and performance in science. This study highlights
the concern that the recent increase in single-sex offerings in the United States
could impact equity goals and gender-related outcomes.

Cutting Job-Training Dollars Would Hurt RecoveryJoan Kuriansky, Washington Post

With the nation's unemployment rate at 9 percent, the economy continues to be a
top concern for Americans. Job-training programs are helping unemployed Americans
find work that allows them to support their families. Over the last year alone,
more than 8 million people have benefited from job-training programs - more than
half of them placed in new jobs. That's why it's so puzzling that some congressional
leaders would put the very federal programs that are helping get people back to
work on the cutting block.

Modeling Gender Equality and Serious Recruiting Increase Nontraditional Enrollment
CTE Trailblazers Magazine

The author describes a CTE program in Virginia that has been successful in recruiting
and retaining unusually large numbers of young women enroll in technology courses.
Half of the programming students are female, for example, and young women are even
signing up for HVACR and cabinetmaking courses.

Mich. Early College Builds Pipeline into Health CareersChristina A. Samuels, Education
Week

An early-college program in Dearborn, Mich., is part of a trend to provide alternative
tracks for students. At Henry Ford Early College, students earn a high-school diploma,
an associate of science degree and a certificate in any one of 12 allied health
fields, over the course of five cost-free years. Radiology, biotechnology and surgery
technology are among the areas in which the school is preparing students for jobs.
