This article suggests several intersections for possible collaboration among different educational levels and disciplines. It describes some of the collaborative work between a physics teacher and a librarian at a high school level. In particular, science-integrated information literacy competencies have been selected that may easily be mapped to, and extended for, higher education. The paper concludes with directions for further study and a crossover between information literacy standards for secondary schools and colleges.

The content analyses of 151 school library home page in Japanese secondary schools were carried to examine their possibility and effectiveness as an instructional tool for information literacy development of the students. The possibility was proved, but the effectiveness was not verified by this study. The contentwise, secondary school library home page was informative, cultural, and instructive. The contents on junior high school level were mostly informative, while the contents on integrated junior/senior and senior high school levels were informative as well as instructive. Link collections were the most powerful features of school library Website.

The higher education diversity programs that Texas enacted after Hopwood v. University of Texas banned affirmative action had unexpected positive consequences for the state’s high schools. The Texas top 10% law, the Longhorn Opportunity Scholarship and Century Scholarship programs, and the Towards Excellence, Access and Success Grant program each explicitly linked postsecondary opportunities to high school performance and clearly articulated that link to students across the state. As a result, these programs worked as K–16 school reforms, using college opportunities as incentives to improve educational outcomes at the high school level. Using panel data describing Texas high schools between 1993 and 2002, the author demonstrates that Texas’s post- Hopwood higher education policies redistributed college-related activity at public high schools and boosted high school students’ academic engagement.

Background. In previous studies, the oral and dental health statuses were compared in hemodialysis (HD) and peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients without taking into account the effect of educational levels on oral health. Hence we aimed to make a comparison of these parameters based upon the subjects educational levels.Patients and Methods. 76 PD (33 males, 43 females-mean age:44±12years) and 100 HD (56 males, 44 females-mean age:46±14years) patients were included. The number of decayed, missing and filled teeth were detected, DMFT index was calculated and plaque index (PI) values were assessed.Results. Significantly higher numbers of filled teeth (P<.001) and lower PI values (P<.01) in the PD group were detected with higher educational levels, whereas no significance was detected in the HD group. Higher DMFT index values were assessed in the lower educated and high school levels in PD than HD patients (P<.05). Higher numbers of filled teeth (P<.05) were detected in the secondary school level in PD patients. This difference was even more significant in the high school level (P<.001).Conclusion. We assume that PD patients, who were found to be in a higher educational level, are more caring for their oral health as compared to HD patients.

Integration of blind and sighted students at the high school level is becoming a common practice. Section 504 of the Higher Education Act, which became law in June 1972, provides that no student may be denied admission to an educational institution because of visual impairment. The educational community thus has both a legal and a moral obligation to provide education for the blind.

Increased media coverage of college and professional college shaped beliefs about the benefits and risks of youth football. The importance attributed to high school football in schools and communities contributed to the expansion of football at the little league level. Football among elementary and middle school children increasingly served as a feeder system for the high school level of play. In addition, the appeal of future access to social and financial resources, including the hope of landing a college football scholarship and a potential professional career, became increasingly prominent in the latter half the twentieth century. The possibility of accessing higher education through football influenced how parents and players weighed the risks and benefits of the sport at the high school level and younger. The ways football improved perceived access to higher social standing and higher education contributed in part to the changing racial demographics of tackle football, particularly with the increasing involvement of African American athletes. Meanwhile, sportscasters’ glorification of “big hits” fostered celebration of football’s dangers even as sports organizers claimed both educational and physical benefits for the youth sport.
