Extractions: http://icpac.indiana.edu/education/educational_programs/23400.xml.print Early childhood and elementary education programs intend to prepare people to teach preschool or elementary classes. Early childhood education programs are designed to prepare people to teach students ranging in age from infancy to eight years. Elementary education programs intend to prepare people to teach students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Middle school education programs intend to prepare people to teach students in grades four through nine. Study in these programs includes preparation to teach several or all subjects. Early childhood and elementary education programs usually are four-year to five-year programs that end in bachelor's degrees, professional certificates, and, in some cases, master's degrees. They are found at colleges and universities. These education programs instruct students about teaching theories and methods, plus give them techniques to create, carry out, and evaluate classroom learning activities. Most states require teachers to be certified. For more information on certification, see the certification topic in the Elementary and Secondary Teachers occupation. One-year certificate and two-year associate degree programs in early childhood education are designed to prepare people to work with preschool children or as teacher aides in schools. Some two-year educational aide programs allow students to specialize in classroom aide, bilingual/bicultural aide, disabled learner aide, and vocational-technical education.

Extractions: Understanding School Violence Home Search Contact Us Schools that are safe and responsive have plans and procedures in place to deal with violent and disruptive behaviors that do occur. Over-reliance on suspension and expulsion is replaced by an extensive array of options that can be matched to the severity of the offense. In particular, well-prepared schools and districts have in place crisis intervention plans that detail the roles and procedures used to respond to crisis events. How can schools begin to develop an array of options as an alternative to suspension and expulsion? If we are to break the cycle of violence in American society, we must begin to look beyond a program of stiffer consequences to an array of effective responses geared toward the seriousness of the offense. A number of such alternative responses might be made available: In-school disciplinary alternatives : Saturday school or in-school suspension keep students in school while being disciplined. The effectiveness of in-school suspension seems to depend on its implementation; programs with a well-trained supervisor that require students to continue their academic assignments are more likely to be effective.

Extractions: This controversial educational approach assumes that all children, regardless of physical, emotional, or academic ability, can and should learn together in the same classroom. Inclusionary schools assign students a grade based solely on their chronological age; any child who also requires the services of special-education teachers can then get most of those services in the classroom. The first part of this series, "A Place for Amber" looked at the effects of inclusion on children with disabilities, and found that many educators and parents give it high marks. But there is another side to the equation: inclusion's effect on children who are not disabled. In this second and concluding part of Moving Into the Mainstream, we look at what is known about students who share classrooms with youngsters with special needs.

Click on Judicial Branch and then Indiana Court of Appeals. 2.) ******** OHIO REVAMPS STATE TESTS: ALIGNS WITH STANDARDS (Goal Three: Student Achievement and Citizenship) A new Ohio state law overhauls the state's proficiency tests by aligning them with academic standards (Rubin, EDUCATION DAILY, 6/15). The law also limits the tests' use in determining whether students will be promoted to the next grade or earn a high school diploma. The new law is based on recommendations developed by Governor Bob Taft's Commission for Student Success. Last year, the Commission reported that the Ohio tests were "rushed into place before the academic standards they were meant to measure had taken hold," reports the paper.
