Extractions: Fax: (602)832-8853 Arizona Supreme Court Upholds Tax Credit Phoenix, Arizona - In April of 1997, the Arizona Legislature and the Governor of Arizona joined together and passed the historic and revolutionary Voluntary Tuition Tax Credit legislation. Today, 3 of the 5 Arizona Supreme Court Justices have declared it constitutional. To all who understand the specifics and implications of this legislation, there is abiding conviction that it will be upheld in the US Supreme Court, and that a new day has dawned in America. The bill is both simple and profound. It will allow taxpayers to receive up to a $500 tax credit when they make private, voluntary contributions to charities that use at least 90 percent of the money to provide private scholarships for children in Arizona to attend the school of their parents' choice. Even the poorest child now becomes royalty in the

Extractions: What New Homeschoolers Want to Know Y ou do not have to have special training or credentials to homeschool in Oregon. The law is easy to follow, and there is no pre-set curriculum or course of study required. There are, however, a few legal requirements. For information about homeschooling laws outside Oregon, find a local homeschooling support group through the National Home Education Network web site. Q. What does it mean to homeschool? A. Homeschooling means different things to different people. For some families, homeschooling means duplicating school at home,complete with textbooks, report cards and regularly scheduled field trips. For others, homeschooling is simply the way they live their liveschildren and adults living and learning together with a seamlessness that would challenge an observer to determine which was "home" and which was "school." If you think of these styles of homeschooling as lying at either end of a continuum, you would find homeschoolers scattered along that continuum, demonstrating every possible variation of what homeschooling could mean. Q. What are some of the benefits of homeschooling?

Extractions: MidwifeInfo.com Educational Programs Back to Home Page For individuals interested in pursuing an education in nurse-midwifery, there are three educational programs with options in Oregon. Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland has had a nurse-midwifery education program since 1982; many of the nurse-midwives currently practicing in Oregon are graduates of OHSU. The two-year program requires a bachelor's degree and an R.N. for entry, and grants an M.S. degree at completion. There are also two distance-learning programs that take Oregon students, the Community-Based Nurse-Midwifery Education Program (CNEP) , based in Hyden, Kentucky, and the Institute of Midwifery, Women, and Health , based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Both of these programs require some time spent on campus, and then involve extensive preceptorships in the student's home community.

Extractions: When an infant or young child is diagnosed with a disability, the family's lives are changed forever. Confronting and living with the challenges brought about by disability requires families to draw upon strengths within themselves that they often did not think existed. Services for children with disabilities are now mandated from birth to 21 under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). IDEA requires that families be involved with the planning, development and implementation of services throughout a child's life. For infants and toddlers, IDEA requires that a state-designated agency (varying from state to state, e.g., Department of Health, Department of Education). This agency is responsible, along with the family and other relevant professionals, for the development of an Individualized Family Services Plan (IFSP). The services specified in this plan most be provided in the child's natural environment. A natural environment is defined as the home and community setting in which children without disabilities participate. This would include childcare centers. Starting at age three

Research Roundups Summer Reading for School Leaders by Larry Lashway . Summer 2004. For school leaders, summer has always been a cherished time of rest and renewal. This Research Roundup features five highly regarded books on leadership to which principals may turn for some guidance in their quest for school improvement. Since all the books offer insights on leadership from the worlds of business and psychology, principals can avoid yet another tiring rehash of the problems of education. In the slower pace of summer, school leaders can reflect on the ideas presented in these books, relate them to their own practice, and perhaps come away with a little more wisdom for next year's challenges.
