Extractions: Appeal of JOANNE REES and BEATRICE CHACHAKIS from action of the Board of Education of the Middle Country Central School District relating to adaptive physical education. Decision No. 13,429 (June 9, 1995) James R. Sandner, Esq., New York State United Teachers Association, attorney for petitioners, Stuart I. Lipkind, Esq., of counsel SOBOL, Commissioner.Petitioners challenge the decision of the Board of Education of the Middle Country Central School District ("respondent") to allow teaching assistants who are certified to teach physical education, teach adaptive physical education. The appeal must be dismissed. Petitioner Rees is a parent of a student receiving adaptive physical education in the Middle Country Central School District. She brings this appeal on behalf of her daughter and all other students receiving adaptive physical education in the district. Petitioner Chachakis is a teacher, resident and taxpayer in the school district. Commencing in the 1994-95 school year, respondent assigned four teaching assistants, who are certified to teach physical education, to provide adaptive physical education to district students who require such services. Petitioners contend that respondent's use of teaching assistants to provide adaptive physical education violates 8 NYCRR 135.4[c][1][iv]. Additionally, petitioners contend that, even if this practice does not violate the regulations, the teaching assistants are not receiving sufficient supervision. Respondent contends that its deployment of teaching assistants to teach adaptive physical education complies with Education Law and regulations and that the supervision of the teaching assistants is adequate.
Extractions: Volume 42, Number 3 IN THIS ISSUE At Iowa, Those Who CAN Teach Four Year Grad Plan Half the World Away from Home In This Office, Students Come First Pass the Plastic ... Calendar The headlines have been disconcerting recently. Teachers, they say, can't teach very well. Some didn't major in the subject they're teaching. Some can't write well themselves, so their students don't learn to write well. "It begins with admissions," Shepardson says. "We need to admit the right students in the first place. We look at grade-point average to rough-sort the applications, though we do check to see if there is an added dimension to the student who might not have a high grade-point average (GPA) but might add something to our college. Then we look at ACT scores, prior experience, an essay on why the student wants to be admitted, prior course work, and letters of recommendation. It isn't easy to get into the college." While the minimum grade-point average for the college is a 2.70 (out of 4.0), students in some program areas may not get in if they have less than a 3.00 average because of intense competition for places. The 2.70 requirement is one of the highest of the 31 colleges and universities in the State of Iowa that have teacher training programs.

Extractions: West Georgia The State University of West Georgia (UWG), a growing regional institution of over 10,000 students located 45 miles west of Atlanta, houses one of the Southeast's largest graduate teacher education programs as well as numerous undergraduate programs and a new doctoral program in school improvement that reflects university-wide faculty involvement. All programs are accredited by NCATE and the Georgia Professional Standards Commission. The College of Education is composed of the departments of Counseling and Educational Psychology, Curriculum and Instruction, Educational Leadership and Professional Studies, Media and Instructional Technology, Physical Education and Recreation, and Special Education and Speech-Language Pathology. Our theme is "developing educators for school improvement", and we have identified 10 descriptors that provide the shared vision and strength of our programs-i.e., educators who are leaders, decision makers, lifelong learners, empathetic, proactive, culturally sensitive, knowledgeable, collaborative, reflective, and adaptive. We are seeking to attract colleagues who support these descriptors and model them as educators in teacher education programs.

Extractions: North Central Regional Educational Laboratory (1995) describes this program: The program is disseminated through LTICS Certified Trainers. During a 12-day training session (or a five-day and a seven-day session), certified trainers train local observers to collect observation data and train local student teachers and teachers to conduct seminars. LTICS trainers are available in 15 states. LTICS is designed for use with low-income, culturally diverse populations in school districts located near teacher-preparation colleges. The National Diffusion Network has approved the program for dissemination to all inner-city students in grades pre-K through 12. Evaluation studies indicate that 80 percent of student teachers who graduate from the Houston Teaching Academy chose to teach in schools serving diverse populations. Studies also indicate that student teachers demonstrate improved interactive instruction, organization, and behavior management skills. Students served by the Houston Teaching Academy have achieved increasingly higher scores on achievement tests each year. Those interested in adopting the program are required either to hire an LTICS Certified Trainer or send local personnel for training to become a Certified Trainer." (pp. 4-5)

Extractions: The College Teaching Certificate Program is an interdisciplinary minor that attracts graduate students from all disciplines within the University. It is designed to enhance teaching competencies at the postsecondary level, and is particularly appropriate for doctoral and masters students interested in a career in college teaching. At the completion of the required twelve credit hours, the student receives a certificate and a notation on the college transcript that the certificate has been awarded. Master's students whose professional objective is to teach in a two-year community college and doctoral students who plan to teach in the lower division of a college or university will find this specialty of benefit. Students may select from a variety of courses that emphasize the knowledge and practice of college teaching and the organizational culture of postsecondary education institutions. All graduate students considering this option must have completed a minimum of eighteen hours in their principal discipline and have the consent of their major advisor before beginning the four-course sequence. Students in the certificate program are encouraged to take effective teaching courses offered within their discipline specialty as part of the certificate requirements. Many departments now offer seminars and practica which prepare the student to teach courses in the discipline and these courses may be substituted for recommended courses in meeting certificate requirements. In addition, students who have taught courses in their discipline at the graduate level or who have served as a graduate teaching assistant under the supervision of a Florida State University faculty member may substitute an elective for the internship requirement.
