Rhode Island Foundation Fall 2001 Newsletter Foundation commits $1.1 million for projects to enrich lives of families Rhode Island's 40,231 children who live in poverty, 36% of whom are under the age of 6, are the target of many of The Rhode Island Foundation's recently approved "Children and Families" grants, including three projects which deal specifically with early child development and care. In its first grantmaking session of 2001, the Foundation's Board of Directors approved a total of 23 Children and Families grants totaling $1,152,500. The largest grant, $250,000, was awarded as a challenge grant for the Rhode Island Child Care Facilities Fund, which over the next five years intends to expand and/or improve up to 2,500 center-based or family day care 'slots' for some of the state's lowest income families. A program of the Rhode Island Local Initial Support Corporation (LISC), the Child Care Facilities Fund was formed in partnership with the Foundation, Rhode Island Kids Count, the Rhode Island Department of Human Services, and other major funders. Announced on September 11, a full report will appear in the next Foundation News. The two additional grants focused on early child development and care were made to organizations in Woonsocket, one of the state's five "core cities," where more than 15% of children live below the poverty level. The Woonsocket Department of Education was awarded $100,000 for second year support of "It Takes a Village," a project that seeks to work with existing community supports to assure that Woonsocket children have early childhood interventions that will contribute to their success in school. Also, Connecting for Children & Families received $40,000 for continuing support of the Woonsocket Children's Initiative, which strives to ensure that children in the city's Fairmount section start school ready to learn and meet with academic success in elementary school.

Karen Voci Senior Vice President for Program If you are working to make Rhode Island a better place in which to live, we want to work with you! The Foundation recently adopted "Attaining Vibrant Communities: A Partnership with Rhode Island" to clarify both the overarching goal for all of our grants and programs, and to make clear that it is with the collaboration of all of us visonaries, nonprofit organizations, policymakers, donors, government at all levels, and funding partners that the goal will be reached. What is a "vibrant community"? It's many things. Vibrant communities are diverse and inclusive places where individuals are supported and encouraged to realize their personal and collective potential. Vibrant communities are places where opportunities and services are available and distributed equitably, where physical and natural assets and infrastructure are preserved and maintained, and where cultural, economic, educational, and political centers reflect and respond to the needs of all people. Vibrant communities are places where leaders are presented and fostered and where organizations are strong, where people of all generations and backgrounds want to live.

OVERVIEW - THE PROGRAM EVIDENCE OF ACCOMPLISHMENT CONTACT INFO OVERVIEW The Westerly School System has district wide programming that integrated and maintains students within community schools by providing a variety of supportive services. To accomplish this goal, the entire program focuses on interagency collaboration and classroom teaching practices. For example, staff and community are provided with a basic understanding of district philosophy to ensure common beliefs among staff, families, and the community. Students and teachers receive professional support from the staff psychologists, social workers, planning centers and links with community agencies. These partnerships are formed with teachers, administrators and families and all work collaboratively to cultivate student performance. This innovative programming began few years ago with the onset of inclusive practices. The incorporation of team teaching helped improve grades, achievement, and attendance of students with emotional and behavioral problems while decreasing disciplinary referrals. MISSION Our mission is to gradually create programs to help all kids come to school ready to learn in an atmosphere which promotes respect and dignity. This would lead to more comprehensive programs and improved educational results, a high priority being students with social, emotional, and behavioral needs. The district has achieved long term planning goals which have focused upon programming at a different level each year, providing technical assistance, resources, and improved communication mechanisms among families, teachers, administrators, and the community.

HOME IN THE SPOTLIGHT EVENTS CONTACT US ... LINKS Special Education Addressing Special Education Issues with a Focus on Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Populations By Maria L. Wilson-Portuondo, Senior Equity Specialist The disproportionate representation of culturally and linguistically diverse students in special education, particularly in the areas of emotional disability (ED), learning disability (LD) or speech, is a national crisis. Equity issues arise from inadequate identification procedures, interventions, and support services in the mainstream. Practices leading to disproportionate representation (Daugherty, 2001) can result in students not receiving necessary or appropriate services. Furthermore, the identification procedures and placement of some of these students in special education actually constitute a form of discrimination. (Burnette, as cited in Daugherty,1998; and Gonzalez, Brusca-Vega, and Yawkey, 1997) During the 2000-2001 academic year, The New England Equity Assistance Center (NEEAC) has taken an active role in addressing issues of equity for culturally and linguistically diverse students around issues of special education, which will be highlighted through the following summary of events.

Teacher Diary Curriculum Article P R O F E S S I O N A L D E V E L O P M E N T A R T I C L E The Reflective Teacher: About Stephanie Blackburn Back to Teacher Diary home page My name is Stephanie Blackburn. Teaching is what I do, and a teacher is who I am. That feeling is not original many teachers share it but teaching is the true essence of who I am as a person. Education was embedded in my family values and constantly modeled by my parents. My love for school and my desire for acquiring information constantly drew me to positions working, or interacting, with children. As a high school student, I worked as an assistant at a local day care center. I quickly recognized the thrill of watching a child grow and develop and began to realize that children are our future; that they embody the dreams and aspirations of us all. I wanted to effectively contribute to their life long journey, therefore I decided to enter the education profession. I graduated from the University of Rhode Island in May 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. The following fall, I began my teaching career as an enrichment specialist in the talent development program for the Westerly, Rhode Island, school district.
