Extractions: What Is a Unit Study? Pick a Topic, Any Topic! Homeschoolers, like all educators, often fall into the easy trap of spouting educational jargon until it becomes almost meaningless, especially to newcomers. We forget, perhaps, that everyone was once a newcomer. The term "unit studies" is an especially slippery fish of a term, because it can mean so many things. It may refer to a relaxed, interest led frolic through a subject, initiated by a child's interest in, for instance, cars. The child reads about cars, draws cars, examines the insides of cars, takes cars apart, measures cars, studies the math and science of cars, bakes and eats car shaped cakes, and builds a model car. The opposite extreme may be the child homeschooled with a traditional approach. His parents pick a unit study out of a book, or perhaps buy a unit study curriculum. The publisher supplies or suggests the materials, and the parent (as teacher) sits with the child, going progressively through the planned unit study. Most often, homeschool families fall somewhere in between these two examples.

Public Schools Are NOT Created Equal to provide the funds to service disabled youngsters. a special needs student and receiptof special education funds Eighty percent of all of arizonas charter http://www.ncsc.info/newsletter/May_2002/notequal.htm
Extractions: Recently, special education in Arizona charter schools has been the subject of much media attention, largely critical. Newspaper articles describe serious situations in which disabled pupils were allegedly wronged by a charter school. While technically accurate, these allegations are frequently taken out of context, and based on unfounded assumptions, such as the underlying one: all public schools are thought to be created and funded equally. Public district schools and charter schools both offer tuition free education, but in other important ways charter schools are a different breed of education than the conventional district schools. Charter schools are innovative entities established to provide educational choices to children and communities. They represent new opportunities for educators to implement their visions and execute change. They are designed to be UNEQUAL . A major inequity adversely impacting Arizonas charter schools is financial inequity. According to Arizonas Joint Legislative Budget Committee (JLBC) in February 2002, charter schools on average receive 25 percent less than their district counterparts for annual per pupil funding. All public schools must comply with all federal special education legislation, including, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Students with disabilities deserve a free and appropriate education, and more. It is the public schools responsibility to provide appropriate educational services to these children. Whether a parent chooses a charter school or a conventional school, accommodations must be made for students with special needs.

Extractions: For BaltimoreStories.com High school can be hard enough. Raging hormones, fickle relationships, cliques and mounds of homework can make a teenager feel a variety of emotions. Yet, 10.7% of Americans aged 15-24 have a disability, according to the 1997 U.S. Census Bureau. For many teens with disabilities, high school can be even tougher. But, Young Life's Capernaum Project says 'so what'. The Capernaum Project is a Christian organization that links mentors with disabled youth. The mentors representing Young Life in the Baltimore region spend countless hours every week with kids whether it be taking them to the mall, a baseball game or the beach. Suzanne Markham, area director of Baltimore's Capernaum Project, felt called to work with kids with disabilities when she was in high school. Markham got started by asking a lot of questions. "I was first a [Young Life] volunteer leader at Loch Raven High School and I was finishing my senior year of college and studying education with a minor in special education. I knew that I wanted to do something with kids with disabilities but didn't really feel like I wanted to be in a typical classroom. I met someone who was from Arizona and his wife did a disabilities ministry, but not with Young Life. So I asked him a ton of questions about it," said Markham.

Extractions: All too often, English language learners are placed in special education programs, not English instruction programs. In the case of Greenway Middle School, more than half of its learning disabled population is Hispanic, and of these, 80 percent are English language learners, who are placed in special education programs where they typically receive little reading or English instruction. Recent medical research by Dr. Reid Lyon of the National Institutes for Health found that with proper reading instruction in kindergarten through third grade, the number of students classified as learning disabled could be reduced by 70 percent. Nationwide, nearly two million children have preventable learning disabilities. With so many English language learners mislabeled and placed in special education programs, their disability labels become self-fulfilling prophecies.

Extractions: By Zaher Karp College is the anticipated fork in the road for many students, but for those with special needs, this shift is far more uncertain. For students who suffer from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (AD/HD), dyslexia, or another learning disability, what are their postsecondary education options? Several programs and schools have been established to cater specifically to students with disabilities, including Gallaudet University, Landmark College, and the SALT program at the University of Arizona. Founded in 1864 by an act of Congress, Gallaudet University (www.gallaudet.edu) in Washington D.C. has been dedicated to the education of the deaf and hard of hearing. The bill was signed by Abraham Lincoln, and Gallaudet College was born. It remained Gallaudet College until 1986, where another act of Congress approved university status. Gallaudet University remains the only liberal arts University for the deaf in the entire world, said Mercy Coogan, a university spokesperson. This institution teaches approximately 2000 undergraduate and graduate students; numbers that were previously unimaginable from its initial enrollment of eight students. This upcoming semester, for the second time in the history of Gallaudet, hearing students will be admitted. These students have expressed a good deal of interest and are, of course, fluent in sign language. They are often the children of deaf adults.
