Extractions: Staff Writer Something about working with disabled and special-needs children as a high school volunteer lit a spark within Julie Buckingham. That spark has turned into a life-long career working to improve the lives of district special education students and mentoring future teachers and educators. The interim special education coordinator for Tooele County School District, Buckingham was recently honored by her peers with the Hilda B. Jones Special Educator of the Year Award. Buckingham said Allen has been in her life for over 13 years and even babysat her own kids. She considers Allen one of her own daughters. Among many gifts, Buckingham said one that really touched her was a gift from para-educators Ayana Ray and Tammy Hutchins, who donated a considerable sum of money to support the special education of a first-grader in Honduras. Her future goals include educating the public so that children and adults with disabilities are easier accepted in schools and society. E-mail: mrigert@tooeletranscript.com

Outside View: Hypocrisy In 'Hi Skool' - (United Press International) because it wouldn t help all special needs students. If it helps the disabled, they hide behind due The utah experience is, from the reformers perspective http://washingtontimes.com/upi-breaking/20040401-033135-1714r.htm
Extractions: In 2004, however, three Utah legislators exposed these arguments for what they are by sponsoring a refundable tuition tax credit for "special needs" students. Although the exact language varies from state to state, the arguments against parental choice are always the same. First, that parental choice will drain the public schools of sorely needed funding. In Utah this works well rhetorically, since the state has the honor of being last in the nation in per-pupil spending. However, exactly the same claim is made about the proposed voucher program for students in the District of Columbia, where the schools have the dubious honor of being first in the nation in per-pupil spending. Second, that parental choice will only benefit the wealthy. School choice proposals in Utah in the past have not included a means test, so this argument has made a good sound bite. However, the opponents of choice have also lobbed this argument at programs that do have income ceilings, such as the ones in Milwaukee and Cleveland. Third, that parental choice will "cream" the best students into private schools and leave the most expensive and difficult to educate students in public schools.

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.

We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete than ours, they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth."

Extractions: Janie Bowman: Interview "Gifts of Homeschooling" "Ten Steps to Special Needs Homeschooling" Am I homeschooling already? If you are a parent of a child with special needs and considering homeschooling, you undoubtedly have many questions and concerns. You’re not alone, but you probably know more about homeschooling than you realize. For example, you’ve spent the first five years of your child’s life as his most important "teacher." In addition, if your child has been in public school, you’ve probably spent many evenings and weekends helping your child do homework. Guess what? You’ve been homeschooling. (see "Afterschooling" My husband, Clint, and I have "been there—done that," and now we’re on our tenth year of homeschooling. Our sons Cj (22) and Shane (15) have been diagnosed with attention differences, and had we left them in public school, it is my opinion they would have inherited more labels as well. Has homeschooling been hard?
