Parent Resource Center Special Ed. Advisory Committee (SEAC) SEAC?! What’s a SEAC? In a nutshell a SEAC is a Special Education Advisory Committee. Here in Virginia every school district is mandated, via our Special Education Regulations, to have one. The main purpose of each SEAC is to help the school district identify unmet systemic needs in special education. In Hanover County the SEAC identifies a variety of unmet needs by having Public Comment at each of our meetings, a review of past identified unmet needs and reports, inviting an array of speakers, and by touching base with students, parents, teachers and administrators. One of the most difficult tasks we face as a committee is remembering the purpose of the SEAC. Whenever I speak to new members, or to interested parties, I always remind them that individual concerns need to be dealt with on an individual basis. That’s hard for some of us to separate out. Another thing I tell people who are interested in the committee is that there is always room for change, but positive change is a slow process.

Best Viewed With: And / Or Family and History Linked Through Time The Learner "Tell me and I may forget. Show me and I may remember. Involve me and I will understand." In recent years genealogy research has become an ever increasing experience that many have taken on as never seen before. This quest, to find more about our own past, brings us to quickly understand that the search for "Family History" is not only unique in itself but connects us to the "World History" of the World Wide Community at every point in our research. Questions such as, "Why did my great grandparents immigrate from the old world?, become much clearer as our research slowly links our Family History to the 'Clearances' of Scotland, the 'Potato Famines' of Ireland or perhaps to the pains of a distant 'War' What better way to motivate students in the study of history than by having them become part of that history through the research of their own family! As a teacher, how would I go about creating a genealogy unit that would assist myself and my students in linking family roots and history? What better person to work on trying to help others in researching their projects on the net than that of a teacher. MacLinks would like to thank Virginia Conklin, a teacher librarian, for her work and continued support on our educational website section. The information that follows has been collated to assist the teacher, student, parent and yes, even the beginning family researcher in locating and understanding about family roots. Please note; as time goes on this list will be added too, as more research is done on this topic area. If you have any suggestions or questions please feel free to contact

ERIC Identifier: ED439577 Publication Date: 2000-03-00 Author: Warger, Cynthia - Burnette, Jane Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Disabilities and Gifted Education Reston VA. Today, transition is seen as more than providing service routes in the individual's movement from high school to employmentit is seen as a comprehensive approach to educational program development consisting of an alignment of student goals with educational experiences and services. Since the early 1980s, federal law has underscored the need for comprehensive transition planning and broadened its focus. The 1997 Reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines transition services as a coordinated set of activities for a student with a disability that: Is designed within an outcome-oriented process, which promotes movement from school to post-school activities, including post-secondary education, vocational training, integrated employment (including supported employment), continuing and adult education, adult services, independent living, or community participation. Is based upon the individual student's needs, taking into account the student's preferences and interests.

Both of those concerns are legitimate, and both are closely related to alcohol and other drugs, whether used by the student or by their fellow students. So parents deserve to know what schools are doing to curb alcohol and other drug use, and college administrators must be prepared to answer tough questions about their alcohol and other drug prevention policies and programs.
