Pick a Topic, Any Topic! Homeschoolers, like all educators, often fall into the easy trap of spouting educational jargon until it becomes almost meaningless, especially to newcomers. We forget, perhaps, that everyone was once a newcomer. The term "unit studies" is an especially slippery fish of a term, because it can mean so many things. It may refer to a relaxed, interest led frolic through a subject, initiated by a child's interest in, for instance, cars. The child reads about cars, draws cars, examines the insides of cars, takes cars apart, measures cars, studies the math and science of cars, bakes and eats car shaped cakes, and builds a model car. The opposite extreme may be the child homeschooled with a traditional approach. His parents pick a unit study out of a book, or perhaps buy a unit study curriculum. The publisher supplies or suggests the materials, and the parent (as teacher) sits with the child, going progressively through the planned unit study. Most often, homeschool families fall somewhere in between these two examples.

(and other special needs) My husband and I are being considered for the adoption of two siblings in Colorado (we're from Indiana, which I've heard has a tough person in charge of ICPC!). Anyway, their profile is a little vague, so I was hoping someone could define the medical terms in "plain English" for us: 1. "The children's developmental challenges are met with an Individualized Education Plan." (What does this mean? Would they be behind academically, or is it physical/developmental?) 2. They "...have difficulty focusing on one activity at a time" and "take medication and receive therapeutic services." (For what? Adhd? Something else?) 3. They also "receive weekly physical, speech, and occupational therapies to help them with coordination, muscle tone, and speech impediments."

CHAPTER 10 SCHOOLS Charles Swipe taught school in a railroad car at Eagle Rock during the early months of 1879. His pupils were from the families who traveled with the Utah and Northern Railroad workers. The bridge-building crew numbered seventy-five men, and there was a long stay at Eagle Rock until the bridge over Snake River was completed in June, 1879. (Edith Lovell) In a century Idaho Falls has expanded from one Central School to many schools. School District #9, Oneida County, first included nearly all the Snake River Valley north of Franklin. In 1991 about 18 elementary and five secondary schools operated in Idaho Falls School District 91; in addition many city students live within the Bonneville School District 93, and attend one of its 10 elementary and three secondary schools. We also have several parochial schools. School Districts. Idaho Falls Independent School District No. 1 was formed in 1894. The first graduation of Idaho Falls High School and the earliest in Upper Snake River Valley was 1899. By 1947 School District #91 was created and I. F. #1 discontinued. District 91 included Idaho Falls and certain rural areas, particularly to the south. In 1950 Joint School District 93 was created, including high schools in Ammon, Iona and Ucon, and these consolidated into Bonneville High School built in 1956. Higher education in Idaho Falls has been available in spite of not having a college. For example in the R. L. Polk Directory for the city, 1914-1915, 38 residents were occupied as students at Gem State Business College. E. R. Underhill was president of the college located on the top floor of a building on the corner of Park Avenue and B. In the Chronology (Appendix 2), we list several events relative to obtaining a college here. In 1991 there was a major endeavor rejected by the taxpayers to establish a community college in the city.

Students' Work Including special-needs students in regular classrooms seems to improve student academic performance, data show by Peter Farley AMHERST The inclusive-style classroom may be denying elementary school special needs students the attention they require and the education they deserve, according to some local teachers. But an analysis of available data gives a different picture. Now only one question remains: which method of grouping is most effective in helping students, with and without disabilities, to achieve their expected goals? IDEA requires that disabled students be placed in a setting that constitutes the "least restrictive environment." In other words, the government calls for disabled students to be educated with those who are nondisabled, to the maximum extent appropriate. However, teachers such as Mary Donovan, a fourth-grade instructor at Crocker Farm Elementary School in Amherst, say the law is often misinterpreted. The "least restrictive environment" isn’t always the regular classroom for special needs students, Donovan said.

Quick Search Utah Contents Weather Archives Utah Politics ... Privacy Policy House OKs private-school vouchers for disabled By Ronnie Lynn The Salt Lake Tribune A measure to give private-school vouchers to students with disabilities cleared its toughest hurdle Friday when the Utah House voted 43-29 to send House Bill 115 to the Senate, where it has a good chance of passing. Supporters praised the vote as a significant victory for families, while opponents warned that the bill, if passed, could lead to more far-reaching school-choice measures such as tuition tax credits. Friday's 90-minute debate took dramatic turns, including an attempt to consign the bill to summer study. But in the end, representatives said they believed the bill would help students get specialized services that are not always available or practical in public schools. "This provides [parents] an avenue to seek the services their children deserve," said Rep. J. Morgan Philpot, a Midvale Republican who is co-sponsoring the measure with Rep. Merlynn Newbold, R-South Jordan.
