Teacher Resources Opportunities resources to help you locate and apply for educational funds fromcorporations, agencies, and foundations. iowa Department of education http http://edservices.aea7.k12.ia.us/curriculum/math/teacher.html
Extractions: Parent Information and Resource Centers Background The number of Parent Centers has grown as increased appropriations have been made available since the initial funding in fiscal year (FY) 1995 of $10,000,000. The FY 1998 appropriation of $25,000,000 will enable the Department to achieve the statutory goal of funding one center in every State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the outlying areas. Services Provided The Parent Centers use a variety of strategies for outreach and information sharing, including web-sites, mass mailings, toll-free phone numbers, and audio and video broadcasts. However, each center designs its core programs and services to emphasize local priorities and conditions and existing service structures in the State. For example: The Mississippi Forum on Children and Families is providing intensive parental information and support services to low-income parents through a mobile resource unit that travels to work sites in five counties. The mobile unit uses trained parent educators to provide valuable resources and support improved parenting skills for many who might otherwise not be reached. The parent educator provides access to PAT training and parent education about educationally appropriate materials and games, teaches parenting skills, provides tips for helping with homework, and identifies community resources as appropriate to meet parents' needs.

Extractions: Developmental milestones give a general idea about what to expect from children of different ages. However, there will always be differences between individual children. Some children begin to walk at 10 months, some at 15 months. Some toddle along quickly and smoothly, getting the "hang of it" right away. Others fall down a lot, hesitate, or even give up for a few days. Some children talk before they are 2, others talk very little before they are 3 or so. Some will always be quiet people.
