Outstanding Secondary Special Needs Program Mingus Union High School Building TradesProgram , Cottonwood, Arizona. The Program Coordinator: Dave Dumas Dave Dumas, Program Coordinator Facing ongoing challenges with at-risk students, those who have difficulty communicating in English, and those who don’t have basic math skills, Mr. Dumas created an environment of collaboration between students and teacher - especially those that are bilingual, and where self-esteem is built through peer education and working together in groups. As a result, all students eventually enjoy some measure of success. Recent graduates have found gainful employment as a direct result of this program, despite the area’s high unemployment rate. Graduates may not always continue in the building trades field, but they all feel that the skills acquired through the program have helped with productivity, creativity and success in their lives.

Dissertation References Back to Research Article References Web References The two commentaries below distill ideas from the dissertation abstracts that follow, on the topic of special needs education within the context of collaborative learning Related Topics Click for Print Resources Click for Web Resources Synthesis: Numerous experiments were performed in the hopes of finding a teaching method that would improve college retention of students, by helping students who are at risk of failing or dropping out. Most found that Collaborative Learning Communities (CLC's) and Collaborative Learning of Writing (CLW) were effective in improving both student performance and student interest. Quotations: "Greater retention is associated with greater involvement of the student in the life of the institution." (Ramaker, 1992) "In computer settings student involvement may be limited to class attendance. Interventions in the classroom such as CLC's have a greater chance of affecting these students." (Ramaker 1992) "Faculty indicated that they have observed more student involvement in learning, better student performance, improved student retention, an improved teaching and learning environment and a more coherent curriculum." ( Tollefson, 1990)

Click Here to Sign an Online Petition We have been successful in getting the words, "school nursing services" inserted into the current draft of the IDEA reauthorization; HOWEVER, these words could be removed if committee members do not support this addition. It is URGENT that members of the Senate Committee are contacted immediately at their state offices. School nurses need to let their Senators know that they are voting residents of the state and that they want the Senator to support the inclusion of "school nursing services" within Related Services of IDEA. NASN has been asking for this inclusion for a number of years. Now that it is in the draft, it is up to all of us to keep it there!!

Box 467 New York, NY 10025 Lies About School Choice By Jeanne Allen Most education special interests, like the National Education Association (NEA), do not have the interests of children first and foremost in mind. Their leaders scorn any plan to expand the choices of parents beyond the school to which their children are assigned. Despite enormous growth and power in the 1980s among anti-choice education leaders and lawmakers, those groups that continue to oppose this popular tide of school reform, are finding it more and more difficult to win. With growing support for and participation in choice programs, it is hardly surprising that the opponents of reform have accelerated their attacks on educational choice. The criticisms against choice constitute nine broad categories. Here are rebuttals to three major ones. Lie #1: Choice will leave the poor behind in the worst schools.
