81. State Laws And Regulations scrambling to reform their education system, the perspective on homeschooling, laws,and regulations. http://www.home-ed-magazine.com/HSRSC/hsrsc_lws.rgs.html

PLEASE READ BEFORE GOING FURTHER The HEM staff has been considering pulling these listings. The main reason is that as homeschooling becomes more widely accepted, and as states are scrambling to reform their education system, the situation becomes more complex. This makes overviews, listings and rankings less valid. We have, however, decided to keep these listings in place because they carry, at a minimum, a link to your state government. Additionally we hope reading cited code and at least one homeschooler's interpretation will help start to demystify legislation and encourage you to investigate further. When talking to new homeschoolers we often hear concerns about the law. Is homeschooling legal? Who do I have to notify? What do I have to teach? While the legalities are a concern that should not be ignored, neither should our response be automatic and not thought out carefully. There is no single source, no one true homeschooling authority. We all own the responsibility to think through laws and regulations on homeschooling. Of course you'll find those who disagree - an entire industry has grown up around the fact that there are differences of opinion on homeschooling's legal matters. What we offer here are overviews of laws and regulations compiled by knowledgeable homeschoolers. These files are not legal advice nor the final word on the subject. They are simply a starting point. To maintain our freedom to homeschool we will each need to go far beyond any convenient compilation or synopsis. We need to continue to do our own learning, lead our own research, and decide on our own actions.

The professional contributions of the graduates and faculty of the School of Education continue to have a profound impact on the lives and futures of children and adults, from inner city schools to rural and suburban school districts, in human service agencies and in universities. Today, committed women and men - recent college graduates, classroom teachers, school administrators and college professors, among them - are engaged in graduate study at Lesley which supports their professional goals and encourages their ideals for educational reform. The School of Education offers its students a superior education through challenging coursework, classroom-based reflection, research and clinical experiences that model a strong commitment to and belief in cultural pluralism, inclusive communities, and the integration of technology in education. These experiences, in turn, inspire graduates to take leadership roles in helping to initiate reform in their schools and to contribute to the restructuring of education for future generations. The education faculty, in their various roles as teacher-mentors, facilitators, researchers, consultants, writers, conference speakers and members of educational boards, commissions and focus groups, are the primary force in setting the high academic standards and the visionary goals of the School of Education.

Other Sites ABE Teacher's License: An Update by Carey Reid and Mary Jayne Fay Field Notes main page Summer 2001 issue O n April 24, 2001, the Massachusetts Board of Education approved the Regulations for the Licensure of Adult Basic Education Teachers, a voluntary license. Massachusetts is now the first state in the nation to have an ABE-dedicated teacher's license that is not predicated on a K-12 license and that requires the same depth of knowledge, rigor of standards, and minimum educational requirements equivalent to the state's other teacher licenses. This achievement caps off a long history of past task forces and committees, and most recently was brought to fruition through the efforts of a statewide Advisory Committee, several support groups, hundreds of practitioners, and the Department of Education under the leadership of Bob Bickerton, Ruth Derfler, and Mary Jayne Fay. The ABE Teacher's License will be available beginning October 1, 2001, when DOE will begin accepting applications. The approved regulations and other relevant documents are posted at: www.doe.mass.edu/acls/certification.html

The Acushnet health agent was imagining life without Judith Coykendall. Thanks in part to her work, he argued, "If you light up a cigarette in a restaurant in Acushnet, everybody's going to know about it." For eight years, Ms. Coykendall has spread the word about second-hand smoke and prodded health boards to ban smoking wherever people gather. She has helped towns crack down on sales of cigarettes to minors, training store clerks and overseeing compliance checks. That's all over, for now. By the month's end, drastic state budget cuts will force Ms. Coykendall to shut down the program she heads. Prevention and Cessation of Tobacco is an offshoot of the Massachusetts Tobacco Control Program, whose budget has been slashed from $65 million to $5 million since March. Ms. Coykendall has been PACT's regional director from the beginning, overseeing the effort in Acushnet, Freetown, Lakeville, Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester.
