Extractions: As older students venture to NT to seek degrees, they find new challenges to overcome Legions of older students pouring through NT's gates these days are changing the complexion of the campus, forcing administrators to find innovative ways of accommodating them. "We're seeing some changes," said Norval Pohl NT president. But there are complex issues surrounding those changes that must first be resolved, he added. Indeed, there are. Along with the increased older student population, comes a demand for increased services. On-campus childcare facilities, more web-based courses and instructors that can be more flexible with their teaching methods are but a few items on the non-traditional students' wish list. At the moment, however, the university is ill-equipped to handle their special needs. Dr. Carol Hagen, director of NT's child development laboratory, said that although there is definitely a need for childcare, it is not the college of education's responsibility to meet that need.

From mathematics to social skills, this document supplies suggestions that have been tried and found to be successful by teachers in B.C. classrooms. By developing learning environments that respond to the unique challenges of a student with FAS/E, teachers can provide an important link in the chain of support needed to assist these children to succeed in the school and in the community.

For information contact me at: mstrue1@earthlink.net . In the early 1970's, the concept of developing alternative curriculums for special education classrooms was taking a new turn. Up until this point, most children with significant special needs were either sent to state institutions or "special schools", such as for the blind or deaf. Most public schools in the United States were ill-equipped or prepared to provide on-site training. However, with federal, (PL94-142), and state laws pushing for children's rights to a free and equal education, the public schools had to decide how best to serve these students. The concept of the Individualized Education Plan was developed by educators and approved by the federal government. It was a more complete view of each individual student's particular strengths and weaknesses and reflected both the developmental skill model, and education model. If a student's disabilities were limited, plans could be drawn up to augment, or add to his/her normal classroom schedule with periods including remedial training, especially in math and language arts. Most of these students were assigned to "resource classes". Additional behavioral goals might be included in the plan if social adjustment was a difficult area for the student. For those with mild learning disabilities, the regular education curriculum was often "watered down".

Extractions: Site Visits Introduction "All students" means every single student." The Restructuring and Inclusion Project conducted by the Institute on Disability at the University of New Hampshire It may seem at first that general education reform has little to do with students with disabilities. After all, parents and their organizations have pushed for and won tremendous advances in education for children with disabilities over the past 25 years. Most parents of children with disabilities have come to rely on state and federal special education laws for guarantees that their children with disabilities will receive an appropriate education. For years, these laws have detailed the steps that must be taken to develop a childs Individualized Education Program (IEP), including rules for parent participation. These laws require that, to the maximum extent appropriate, each child with a disability be educated in regular classes along with his or her nondisabled peers with supplementary aids and services as appropriate. Yet, with national attention focused on reforming education for all students, it is critical now that parents and teachers become familiar with these issues as they relate to students with disabilities.

Extractions: Class Assignments: Unless expressly stated otherwise, textbook reading assignments are found in Successful Inclusion for Educational Leaders , by Larry D. Bartlett, Gregory R. Weisenstein and Susan Etcheidt. The Application Supplement corresponds to reading assignments. Students are also expected to locate and read appropriate Federal and Iowa regulations which correspond to reading and application assignments. These are available on the website. The Application Supplement presents brief situations similar to a case study or "in-basket" activity. Students are expected to read textbook assignments and apply that knowledge and understanding to the situations presented in the applications. The Application Supplement discussions applying the readings will be the focus of most class activity . They should be considered carefully. The following syllabus assignments designated alphabetically (A,B,C) correspond to the same letter designation in the Application Supplement. Thus, for assignment "H" be sure to refer to the sections of the syllabus, and the Application Supplement designated by the same letter "H."

Extractions: The test administration procedures and directions included in the Directions for Administration manual are the same as those followed in the standardization program from which norms were obtained. By following these same procedures, you will help to ensure that the meaning of your students' scores will not be distorted and that your ability to use the norms will not be compromised. If uniformity in test administration procedures is not maintained, the meaning of the test results may differ from school to school and classroom to classroom. If the directions given to students vary, some students may receive too little assistance from the test administrator and some may receive too much. The net effect will be to make some score interpretations inappropriate or misleading. The use of a detailed set of directions not only ensures that the efforts of students and teachers will yield meaningful information, but it also makes the task of administering the tests easier. The directions specify what to say, when to say it, what to do, and when to do it. The directions script should be followed exactly.
