The pilot Wimberly Projects are located in Charlotte, Memphis, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, and Maryland. There are also two incubator projects located in Iowa and Texas. Chapters of The 100 in these locations are working closely with school district administration, with faculty and staff at school sites, parents, and have reached out to involve a variety of local resources, including colleges and universities, parent training and information centers, Boys and Girls Clubs, collegiate chapters of The 100, churches, services agencies, and community organizations. Although each of these dynamic projects is unique, all focus on students’ academic progress, behavior, attendance, and on improving young Black males’ lifestyles, outlooks, and confidence in their futures. Because many additional chapters have become interested in developing Wimberly Projects, a guide on replicating the first six projects, or their components, will be distributed in 2002. Some of the participating chapters will submit applications to local foundations for small grants to enhance or expand their school-based activities, while national office will submit a major proposal for support of replications among it 90 chapters across the United States. 100 Black Men of Greater Charlotte, Inc. - Mr. Vernon Wills, President

This fall, a large number of schools and school districts did not make AYP, including many good schools caught in absurd situations by AYP rules. A school can fail to make AYP if fewer than 95 percent of the students are present to take two standardized tests. Ooltewah High School, Hamilton County, Tennessee Ooltewah High students have one of the highest performing rates in the state, but their school is now labeled "in need of improvement" because only 94.1 percent of students took the standardized math test.

Pit Stop Picks Posted Aug. 04, 2002 Schools cope amid growing disabled-student population, special-education expenses By Kathy Walsh Nufer Post-Crescent staff writer Freedom made the commitment to ensure all children equal access to a public education well before state and federal governments made it law in the early 1970s, he said. Yet, in times of tight budgets there is no denying the mounting cost of educating everyone from the blind, deaf and medically fragile to children with cognitive and emotional disabilities and speech delays. While Congress considers reauthorizing the 28-year-old law now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), area school systems are picking up the bulk of the bill for an ever-growing number of special-education children. Two dozen Fox Valley school districts spent more than $62 million in district, state and federal dollars in the 2000-01 school year to educate 7,597 students with disabilities, according to the Wisconsin Policy Research Institute. In the coming school year, Freedom, with a total enrollment of 1,590, will spend $1.9 million of its $12.2 million operational budget educating 215 children with disabilities.

Las Vegas SUN: Some Disabled Students To Be Held To Different Standards to make annual progress because disabled students didn Gloria Dopf, director of special education and school improvement for the nevada Education Department http://www.lasvegassun.com/sunbin/stories/lv-ed/2003/dec/04/515966941.html

Printable text version Mail this to a friend December 04, 2003 Some disabled students to be held to different standards SUN STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS WASHINGTON Education Department officials have decided children with the most severe learning problems can be held to a different academic standard than their peers a move that will ease pressure on schools struggling to make yearly progress. The new department rule to be announced within days would affect a limited number of students deemed to have "significant cognitive disabilities" by their states. It would allow those students to be tested against standards appropriate for their intellectual development. More significantly, those scores would be counted as part of their school's performance. Currently, students who take tests based on different standards can't be considered "proficient." This penalizes schools as they add up yearly achievement, which is critical because schools that receive federal aid for the poor, but fail to make adequate yearly progress, face increasing sanctions from the government. Many schools have failed to make annual progress because disabled students didn't score high enough on tests or because too few of those students participated.

Horizon High School East II. Narrative: A. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: This project will impact the education of all students at Horizon East High School as well as educate the staff and students to art, science, literature, cultural diversity and technology that is available both at school and within the community. The uniqueness of this project is that it utilizes the museum, a specific art exhibit, the English Department, the Science Department, library and technology. At the conclusion of the project, students, parents, and teachers will be asked to fill out a survey to evaluate the effectiveness of the program. The results could also be statistically tabulated and reported graphically. B. PROJECT STAFF: PROJECT ARTIST: The project artist will be Ms. Anita Getzler, a museum educator who has developed various projects throughout the city of Las Vegas and the greater southwest. She has been instrumental in the planning and design of this project. Ms. Getzler will be a great contributor to this program since Horizon East High School does not employ an art educator. Ms. Getzler holds a Master's degree in Art. Educator: Ms. Babette Brown is an English teacher who is seeking to incorporate art into her English program. She believes that at-risk students need to become aware of the artistic programs available to them through the community. Ms. Brown holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Education.

Side by Side Continued The administrators who have made inclusion work say their best advocates are the teachers who have been successful with it. John McDonnell, an inclusion researcher and the chairman of the special education department at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City argues that inclusion has not been found to hurt nondisabled students. "There really has been no effect on the educational progress of kids without disabilities by including kids with disabilities at the regular classroom level," he says. In Auburn, Calif., about 40 miles east of Sacramento, administrators at the 468-student Rock Creek School are working through some of those obstacles. The K-6 school, which lies in a pocket of poverty within an otherwise affluent community in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, has begun inclusion of some disabled students in classes where the teachers are willing, but it has a long path ahead to become a fully inclusive school. David Swart, the principal of Rock Creek, says planning for the change has been difficult. While many of his teachers have been enthusiastic about inclusion, others have expressed resistance, and he is unwilling to place disabled children in their classes. "The question of how to change the system is what I'm up against as a principal," he says. "What we need to do is get out front to train these teachers."
