added, new sites created, and new tools available. This is the spot for staying on top
of this evolving world!

K-12 News Briefs
A report identifying key areas deserving focus in the nation's schools
as we approach the 21st century was released during the last week
of January by the American Association of School Administrators
(AASA). "Preparing Students for the 21st Century" reported the
opinions of fifty-five leaders in education, business, government,
and other fields regarding the knowledge, skills, and attitudes students
will need to be successful in the next century.
Ethics was "a key, overriding issue" that was "echoed in nearly every
part of the study." The national leaders underscored the importance of students
knowing how to apply ethical principles, acting responsibly, understanding
and having pride in U.S. citizenship, having respect for social and cultural
diversity, and mastering the skills needed to resolve disagreements civilly.

In What's New on the 'Net we have identified Internet resources
that address ethics and civics education. These sites are aimed at fostering the development
of students in these important areas, and they provide directions for easy
use within classroom instruction.
