Extractions: Education for All - Including Education for the Disabled [Below is a draft letter that was simplified and altered for submission to newspapers throughout Oregon. Its original composer was Patty McNary, of OPU. I expanded her original to the point where OPU members, plus I, recognized it was too confrontive for an editorial or as letter to the editor. It appears here at the urging of the OPU members because the information content may be valuable for some readers rnm] [Dear Editor:] We are writing today to the parents of children with disabilities. We are writing for parents who rely on our public school system for the services that their children need to succeed as adults. We are the Co-Founders of Oregon Parents United (OPU) United, a support group for parents in Oregon with children who have "invisible" disabilities. Parenting a child with a recognized disability involves major challenges and strains on family life. Some disabilities are obvious, and can be noticed by simply spending a little time observing the child. Many disabilities are so complex; they require very well educated individuals to observe the child and perform complicated tests over the course of several visits just to determine the nature of the child's individual disability. Just because a disability is "invisible" does not mean it is any less devastating for the children and adults so diagnosed. Starting nearly 25 years ago, under a Republican President, Congress passed a series of laws to ensure that our childrenall our children receive a free and appropriate public education (FAPE). Whether their child's disability is obvious or "invisible," parents should be aware of safeguards that guarantee this essential civil right.

Extractions: Oregon General Information Guiding Principles Candidate Information Contact Us ... Local Pictures 2002 Candidate Outreach Project Legislative Candidate Questionnaire 2002 Polls show that education is the number one issue to Oregon voters, yet there is a nearly even split between those who feel that schools need more money to be effective and those who believe that the money distributed to schools from the state is adequate but poorly spent. Where do you stand on this issue? From experience of over 30 years in the classroom, I know that schools do not have adequate funds to operate effectively. Some politicians, in desperate efforts to be elected, have claimed that Oregon's schools just need to be run more like a business and that there are always places to cut. This is simply not true. School boards and school personnel are always looking for ways to improve, but schools have experienced cuts over several yearssome have never recovered from previous drastic measures: little music or art instruction, physical education done by classroom teachers not trained in physical education instruction, media specialists (librarians)split between several schools and serving in more supervisory instead of instructor capacity, lack of funds for foreign language instructors in early years where it is so

Extractions: Inclusion Week home Aims of the week Register your event List of events ... Articles written for Inclusion Week by Sharon Rustemier Inclusive education is gaining ground. Throughout the world, teachers and others involved in education are working to develop positive educational experiences that all children and young people can enjoy and benefit from, together. For disabled children and those experiencing difficulties in learning, this means inclusion in mainstream schools and classrooms alongside their non-disabled peers. For all children - and adults - it means a more enriching and rewarding educational experience. Internationally, the drive towards inclusion is fuelled by a number of initiatives and treaties, including the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (1989), the UN Standard Rules on the Equalisation of Opportunities for Persons with Disabilities (1993) and the UNESCO Salamanca Statement (1994). Together, these documents recognise the human right of all children to education which is inclusive. 193 countries have signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child, with Somalia being the most recent in May 2002. All but two countries (Somalia and the United States) have also agreed to be bound by the Convention by ratifying it. Some countries have made significant advances towards promoting inclusive education in their national legislation. Examples include Canada, Cyprus, Denmark, Iceland, India, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Uganda, the United Kingdom and the United States. Italian law has supported inclusive education since the 1970s.

ABLE2 - Advice The study was taken out in oregon and the findings it will encourage more familieswith special needs sons and better idea as there's loads of disabled kids in http://www.able2uk.com/advice5.htm
Extractions: HOME NEWS 2002 News A recent survey in the States has shown that disabled access in Health Clubs is pretty crap.Even though nine in ten clubs had wide entrances and phones which would be suitable for disabled health freaks only 8% had exercise apparatus which were usable to all and 37% had a customer desk for wheelchair bound guests. The study was taken out in Oregon and the findings aren't even accurate because 20% of the Health Clubs refused to take part. So really we at ABLE2 conclude that the survey was a bloody waste of time! If you know a decent health club in the UK drop us an e-mail. Labor's idea to find disabled people jobs hasn't been a success. Between July 2001 to September 2002 only 1.400 disabled employees worked more for six months after seeking help and a measly 6,009 were helped into a job. These figures aren't looking good for Mr Blairs gang as their target is to find 90,000 disabled people jobs within three years. Mysterisoly these results didn't appear on the DWP (Department for Work and Pensions) website, run by the government, because of a 'technical hitch'! How convenient. GIVE US A LINK! ABLE2UK is now linked to quite a few Internet sites which we are truly grateful for, if you have a site which focuses on Entertainment or Disabled news stick a URL on it to this site and give us an E-MAIL. We will return the favor!

Extractions: What Do New Teachers Need? Although there have been few large-scale studies of new teacher induction programs, existing data confirm that schools that provide high levels of support for beginners do retain more teachers (Goodwin, 1999). The Santa Cruz New Teacher Project (SCNTP), for example, which has been in existence since 1993, reports that 90 percent of participating teachers have remained in the profession (Moir, n.d.). Weiss and Weiss (1999) cite a 93 percent retention rate in urban districts that provide formal induction programs for beginners. Benefits for students and schools:
