ACCEPTABLE USE POLICIES - A HANDBOOK Virginia Department of Education Division of Technology Introduction Components Samples Forms and Templates Send additions or comments to: aup@mail.vak12ed.edu Return to VDOE homepage INTRODUCTION Many Virginia K-12 educators use the instructional resources found via shared educational tools, such as school and division-wide computer networks and the Internet. The increased use of such resources requires that administrators, teachers, library media specialists, students, and parents take steps to ensure that when used responsibly, these tools and the resources found by them are appropriate for use in K-12 instruction. In response to these concerns, schools or school divisions are required to establish guidelines for the appropriate use of computer networks. Such guidelines are generally called an Acceptable Internet Use Policy, or AUP. By definition, an AUP is a written agreement in the form of guidelines, signed by students, their parents and their teachers, outlining the terms and conditions of Internet use-rules of online behavior and access privileges. To assist school divisions, we have created an electronic "handbook" of resources. Since schools are at various stages of implementation in the use of computer networks, this electronic handbook does not prescribe a single Acceptable Internet Use Policy. Instead, it provides links to various sources of information that may be helpful to administrators, teachers, library media specialists, and parents in the development of a local AUP. The Internet is a virtual community based simply on courtesy and commonsense. A local AUP reflects the circumstances unique to the school or division, the electronic system used, and clearly defines what constitutes local responsible use of information networks.

Inspire Your Child to Greatness Do you ever think your child could become the next Oprah Winfrey, Benjamin Carson, or Ruth Bader-Ginsburg? If you are raising a precocious, outgoing and curious child or teen who already has aspirations to greatness, encourage his or her ambitions. It's never too early for children to think about their futures. Please Read On... Do early childhood experiences really count? A new book, The Myth of the Early Years by Dr. John T. Bruer has raised questions about the importance of providing children with high-quality early childhood programs. From the author's perspective, recent publicity about early brain development research has led parents, educators, and policy makers to place too much emphasis on children's early learning experiences. He argues that neuroscience research actually provides evidence that learning and cognitive development occurs throughout life. Read more...

[Print Friendly Version] Special Educational Needs and the Foreign Service Child There are unique challenges inherent in raising children with special needs, and this is especially so in the internationally mobile lifestyle of the Foreign Service. There has been a significant effort to increase the number of programs for children with special needs in American-international schools around the world. However, the quality of these programs varies greatly from school to school, and even from year to year. While more children who have mild learning disabilities are adequately served in international schools, children with moderate to severe disabilities still encounter major challenges. In addition to the lack of available programs overseas, very often there is also a lack of other support or therapeutic specialists to serve the requirements of special needs children. The Family Liaison Office strongly urges families to carefully research their options before bidding on and accepting an overseas assignment. There are several offices in the Department of State that work together to assist families of children with special needs. Special Needs Resource Information from the Department of State . Additionally, the Office of Overseas Schools offers the brochure
