Understand the differences between the academic organization and expectations of high school and postsecondary education (see section on Differences Between High School and College). Start planning for postsecondary education as soon as you can. Talk to your counselor and visit your school or public library. Look through college/university catalogs and general guides such as The College Handbook. Ask your counselor about the availability of postsecondary resources. Consider joining clubs and participating in other high school activities. Start a folder of everything you collect on postsecondary education. This should include addresses, phone numbers, contact people, etc. Talk with your high school counselor to see if you should consider taking a practice college entrance exam.

One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA 97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the maximum extent practicable. As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

Extractions: The Children Who Wait Their Ages Children of school age, particularly those over the age of ten, represent the largest number of children needing permanent families. Adoption of older children may be especially appealing to parents who already have children of school age and for older prospective adoptive parents. Experience has shown that older children can readily become successful family members. Sibling Groups: Groups of three or more brothers and sisters may wait for a permanent home where they can all be together. These children have often been separated in foster care. Adoption together helps them re-establish their roots in a new, permanent family.

Extractions: House Passes Special Ed Bill Without Portability On April 30, the house passed the measure reauthorizing the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). However, for the third time in as many debates on the legislation, Democrats unsuccessfully argued that federal funding for special education should be mandatory, meaning it would not be subject to the annual appropriations process. The House also rejected two GOP measures that would have given states the flexibility to use federal dollars to follow a specific child and help pay for tuition at private schools. Democrats said the measure was simply a special education voucher program, and contended that federal dollars shouldn't be used to send students to private schools that aren't held to the same accountability standards as public schools. In line with the house-senate budget resolution, the bill would authorize discretionary spending increases of $2.2 billion in fiscal 2004 and $2.5 billion in fiscal 2005, bringing the total federal contribution to special education to about 21 percent next year. Funding for fiscal 2003 is at 18 percent.
