Extractions: http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/sites History: Camp Lejeune had its beginnings in the early 1940's when a selection board decided on the New River area of North Carolina as the most ideal location for a new Marine training base. The new facility met all the requirements for an east coast division training center to include being located near two deep water ports, Morehead City and Wilmington. Construction for the new camp began in April 1941, and for its aviation counterpart, nearby Cherry Point, in December of that year. In December 1942, the installation was named in honor of the 13th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Lieutenant General John A. Lejeune. Today, Camp Lejeune occupies about 246 square miles (153,439 acres), with 14 miles of beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Included on the installation are more than 450 miles of roads, 6,946 buildings and facilities to support a population of approximately 137,526 Marines, Sailors, retirees, their families, and civilian employees.

Examples Of State Approaches To Special Education Finance carolina (Jane K. Testerman, University of north carolina, Charlotte and South carolina has eight different weights for special education Learning disabled. http://www.ecs.org/clearinghouse/48/92/4892.htm
Extractions: Special Education Finance Education Commission of the States 700 Broadway, Suite 1200 Denver, CO 80203-3460 303.299.3600 Fax: 303.296.8332 www.ecs.org Examples of State Approaches To Special Education Finance Compiled by Molly Burke September 2000 Updated October 2003 States have chosen several different ways to incorporate the higher cost of educating a special education student into their financing formulas. North Carolina uses a flat grant system, applying a fixed amount of funding per student. Some states, such as New Hampshire, simply weight all special education students the same in their formulas. This means that a student with a substantial physical disability has the same weight as a student with a minor reading disability if both students are enrolled in special education programs. Some states have created subcategories of special education students and provided each of those with a specific weight (e.g., South Carolina and Texas). Another approach is to weight a student based on his or her ability to spend time in a regular classroom (e.g., Iowa). This system provides the student a higher formula weight for the extra time he or she must spend outside of a regular classroom. The approach New York takes is to provide all special education students with a single weight plus an additional weight based on the districts financial need.
Extractions: Home Textbooks Books Music ... Product Support Joe P. Sutton, Ph.D. Educating mildly disabled students has not been a high priority item on the educational agendas of many private Christian schools. In fact, recent studies show that special education in Christian schools is almost nonexistent, where only between 8 and 16 percent of Christian schools nationwide operate formal programs (Carver, 1989; Sutton, in press). With the emphasis placed on disabled persons in the Scripture (Sutton, 1990) however, most Christian educators would probably agree that our schools must do more in providing for the needs of mildly disabled students through formal special education programs. It is clear, then, that Christian educators must recognize two things with regard to mildly disabled students. One is that these students are not limited to just special education classrooms anymore, and will in all likelihood be present in regular classrooms to some extent. Two is that as mildly disabled students are identified and mainstreamed into regular classrooms, the regular classroom teacher will be the primary educational caregiver for these children, not the special education teacher. Regular classroom teachers in Christian schools, therefore, must be more cognizant of the basic characteristics and educational needs of mildly disabled students. Moreover, given the current novelty of special education in Christian schools, it would profit all Christian educators to know more about this unique group of students. This article seeks to provide answers to three basic questions: (a) who are mildly disabled students? (b) what criteria are used to identify them? and (c) what are some of their general characteristics?

Think about what you've done in high school what do your high school experiences mean to you? Do you want your college experience to be the same, or different? How? In looking at colleges, you need to know as much as possible about who you are, and how you look at the world this is a very important area. The next few questions can help shape your search as well. If you've given any thought to what you'd like to study in college, or what part of the country (or the world) you'd like to study in, that can be helpful as well also, think about if you'd like to be in a big city, a small city, or nowhere near a city (or maybe that doesn't matter). To some people, the size of the college is important does that matter to you? In terms of scholarships and financial aid, Finaid.org has a great Web page devoted to financial aid for students with physical and learning disabilities. This page includes a list of publications you can get and other sources, including the HEATH Resource Center's publication "Financial Aid for Students with Disabilities"; to get that publication, call HEATH at 800.544.3284 (this number is voice/TTY enabled). Peterson's has a book called Scholarships, Grants, and Prizes that has a fairly good list on scholarships for students with disabilities (Nike and Nordstrom's each sponsor scholarships, for example). The book "Cash for College" recommends that you check with the rehabilitation agency in your state to find out about the resources that would be available from your state to support your efforts to go to college.

Extractions: Special Education Autism Home TEACCH Bibliography Prior to 1975, many school-age children with special needs faced either inadequate public school instruction or no instruction at all. Research and funding for special education programs were close to nonexistent. This era of education for the gifted ended when Congress passed P.L. 94-142, the Education of All Handicapped Children Act of 1975 (EAHCA), and opened the doors of opportunity for children with behavioral and learning disorders. EAHCA promised every disabled student a free public education geared toward his or her particular needs (Zigmond). It transformed public schools into diverse and flexible environments where 6.5 million students today receive special instruction funded by billions of government dollars (Schemo). Special education programs are constantly changing and growing. In fact, government funding for special education is expected to take its largest leap next year with a $1 billion increase (Schemo). Teachers in these government programs are earning high praise from parents, 72% being described as good or excellent in one study done this year (Paperwork). However, the programs successes are being hindered by a teacher shortage. The Building that houses TEACCH Preschool in Carrboro, North Carolina.

Extractions: University of North Carolina at Asheville Table of Contents SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER JOB DESCRIPTION Overview Special education (SE) teachers instruct public school students (K-12) with physical, cognitive, and emotional/behavioral disabilities. They adapt and develop educational materials to meet the unique needs of their students, striving to ensure that disabled students reach their full learning potential. SE teachers tend to emphasize a particular type of disability in their training; the specific categories of disability differ across states (categories are defined by state departments of education), but generally include mental retardation/mental handicaps, learning disabilities, emotional/behavioral disorders, and physical disabilities. SE classes are usually designed for students at a given grade level who have the same type of disability. Special education resource teachers function as consultants within a school system. They advise general education teachers about means of modifying teaching methods for work with disabled children in their classrooms. They may lead a school "resource room" where disabled general education students come for specialized instruction.
