Special Education in Alternative Education Programs. ERIC Digest E585. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC With the 1997 Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (PL 105-17), the mission of alternative programs has expanded from the education of youth who have dropped out, or who were at risk for dropping out, to students with disabilities whose behavior warrants special attention outside the general education setting. These programs now provide alternative programming, including flexible curricula that can address the unique social, behavioral, emotional, cognitive, and vocational needs of the individual student. In contrast to the traditional alternative settings where students were "sent away," many communities are offering alternative programs within the public school setting. FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT Assessment of student needs for the development of educational and treatment plans is essential to successful alternative programs. Functional assessment procedures identify student strengths and skill deficits that interfere with educational achievement and social/emotional adjustment. This form of assessment is based on identifying students' needs in relationship to the curriculum and to their individualized education program (IEP), rather than on global achievement and/or ability measures.

Using Alternative Assessments To Improve the Teaching and Learning of History. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC A history teacher's curriculum planning, choice of classroom methodology, and means to assess student learning are inextricably linked. Forms of assessment that involve only recall of discrete information are likely to encourage teaching methods that emphasize low-level cognition. Further, traditional forms of assessing students' knowledge of history neither prompt students to reveal all they know about the subject nor challenge them to learn more. Thus, teachers and researchers have concluded that traditional assessments must be complemented by new methods that can reinvigorate and improve the teaching and learning of history in schools. ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENTS AND HISTORICAL LITERACY Alternative assessment can be a diagnostic tool to improve both a teacher's instruction and a student's learning of history by revealing information about three dimensions of a student's historical literacy. First, students who complete alternative assessment activities demonstrate their knowledge of historical facts, themes, and ideas. Second, students who complete alternative assessment activities demonstrate their ability to reason; that is, to analyze, evaluate, and synthesize historical evidence. And third, students who complete alternative assessment activities demonstrate their ability to communicate their historical knowledge and reasoning to others.

Summer 1997 Vol. 15 No. 3 Page 2 Letters U.S.-Japan Strategic Relations Congratulations on an excellent spring issue. In particular, Mike Mochizuki ( Relations with the Great Powers: Japan , spring issue) is dead right to call for a "new strategic bargain between Japan and the United States." But don't bet on any sudden deals. Having just restored Asian confidence in American staying power, the Clinton administration is unlikely to budge from its bumper sticker pledge to keep 100,000 troops in the Asia-Pacific regionor to clarify its fuzzy strategic goal of maintaining regional "stability." For its part, the government of Prime Minister Hashimoto would be all too happy to see Washington reduce U.S. troop levels on Okinawa. Just don't expect the eighth Japanese prime minister in ten years to reciprocate by mustering the political will to "say yes to collective defense and security missions." Mochizuki correctly notes that "the strategy of incrementalism . . . is seriously flawed." Barring a sudden outbreak of vision and leadership on either side of the Pacific, however, it will have to do for now. James Gibney

Making Schools Work Better for All Children SOURCE: The Center for Education Reform CER and Education Reform in the News GRANADA HILLS HIGH PUSHING FOR CHARTER STATUS : "A Granada Hills conversion would represent major evidence, national charter advocates say, that such top-scoring schools are dissatisfied with constraints from their school districts and that charter status can benefit them, not just academically failing campuses. 'What's happening is an increase in recognition that even high-achieving schools aren't serving everyone as best they can,' said Jeanne Allen, president of the Center for Education Reform, a Washington-based organization that promotes charters. 'Their ability to do well for everyone is hamstrung by district oversight. According to the center's statistics, Granada Hills would be the largest school in the country to convert to a charter." By David Pierson, Los Angeles Times , April 5, 2003. Link to full article MRS. CAFRITZ ON VOUCHERS : "To suggest, as some critics have, that Mrs. Cafritz and others who are willing to consider federally or privately supported school vouchers have turned their backs on public education is untrue. To the contrary, they propose a system in the District that is broad enough to include public schools, charter schools and a voucher experiment handsomely funded with new federal dollars in partnership with the U.S. Department of Education. In fact, with a federally funded voucher program, District public and charter schools could end up with more District money per pupil, because the funds that followed students to private schools would come from the Department of Education, not D.C. taxpayers. Mrs. Cafritz has taken a bold stance in behalf of D.C. children, who deserve the same choices and level playing field as students in stronger public and private school systems elsewhere."

UWired Seattle Schools Partnership Laura Collins and Jennifer Harris 01-7 October, 2001 INTRODUCTION The University of Washington (UW) Office of Educational Partnerships and Learning Technologies places University students in Seattle Public Schools (SPS) to provide network support and consulting, to create opportunities for University students to develop their technology and consulting skills, and to help teachers incorporate technology into curricula. During the 2000-2001 inaugural academic year, 21 UW students were assigned to 22 schools including elementary, middle, high, and alternative schools. METHODOLOGY In May, SPS representatives whose schools had participated in the UWired program were asked to complete a survey. The survey consisted of three fixed response questions, 16 Likert items, and six open-ended questions that addressed program outcomes, their goals for participation, and recommendations for program improvements. 22 school representatives were faxed a request letter and survey. Follow up phone calls were made shortly thereafter to insure that the faxes were received and to ask representatives to return them. Means were tabulated for Likert items and responses to open-ended questions were grouped according to useful categories of response. At the end of the school year, UW students who had participated in the program were asked to complete an online survey. The survey consisted of seven open-ended questions designed to obtain their perspectives on the outcomes of the program, their goals for participation, and recommendations to improve the program. At the end of May, all 21 UW students were emailed and asked to complete the online survey. Two student emails were returned as "unknown." Students were sent a reminder and second request for their participation one month after the initial request. Responses to open-ended questions were grouped according to useful categories of response.

Please check out " Spotlight on a Tutor ." How can you get involved? If you are a current UW student, there are five different ways you can get involved with the Pipeline Project: Volunteer The Pipeline Project recruits, trains, and places students as volunteer tutors in the schools throughout the academic school year. Anyone interested in becoming a tutor or mentor should attend one of the Pipeline orientations offered regularly twice a week throughout the quarter.

Cronin, Seattle Times Charter School FAQ's Charter School success requires the establishment of a new learning culture Core Values for Charter Schools Outstanding schools are those that have found the way to unleash the promise inherent in every public, charter or independent school: they have discovered how to challenge students to excel; they have encouraged and supported both personal and academic growth; and they have pledged themselves to uphold time-honored educational values. Washington State's charter schools must establish a learning culture where students assume responsibility for their learning and performance. Our experience at Bellevue International and at Lake Washington International shows that having students repeat a grade can be an extremely effective tool.

Just about every morning, from September 1 to June 15, thousands of children grab their lunches, wave good-bye to their parents, and walk to the bus stop. They all climb aboard the big yellow bus that takes them to school, and when the bell rings at 3 p.m., that same big yellow bus takes them all home. When you think about niche markets or "ideal" applications for alternative fuels, school buses ring a bell of their own. Predictable routes, centralized refueling, wide product availability . . . it's all there. And who wants their children breathing those harmful fumes? When you think about it, school buses and alternative fuels are a perfect match. Here are just a few examples of school bus fleets that have made the alternative fuel vehicle (AFV) choice.
