The poll, being released Monday by the advocacy group Public Agenda, suggests parents feel that while teachers care and school personnel are qualified to deal with disabilities, school systems don't offer special help to children unless families insist. Ann Duffett, an author of the study, said parents have a different perspective from policy-makers.

June 8, 2001 Honorable Marilyn Howard Superintendent of Public Instruction Idaho Department of Education Len B. Jordan Office Building 650 West State Street P.O. Box 83720 Boise, Idaho 83720 Dear Superintendent Howard: It was a pleasure speaking with you and Tom Farley regarding the progress that Idaho is making toward meeting the Title I requirements for standards, assessments, and accountability. I know that we all share the goal of having, as soon as possible, a full and functional assessment system that supports education improvement in Idaho and that meets the Title I requirements. These requirements are intended to ensure that every school and school district participating in Title I is focused on enabling all students to meet the State's academic standards. After peer-reviewing the assessment evidence and timelines submitted by Idaho last October, we have determined that Idaho is substantially out of compliance with sections 1111 and 1116 of Title I. In order to remain eligible to receive Title I funds, Idaho must enter into a compliance agreement with the U.S. Department of Education, specifying the steps the State will take to fully meet the Title I requirements and the timeline for completing those steps. Based on the peer review and our recent conversations, additional clarity is needed regarding Idaho's plans to fully comply with the Title I requirements. We will need, for example, additional information on the process that Idaho has used to establish content and performance standards, the alignment and technical quality of the components of the Idaho assessment system, the status of Idaho's plan to include all limited English proficient students in the State assessment system, and the State's use of student performance data for all students in determining school accountability. Questions also exist regarding Idaho's intent to disaggregate student performance on Idaho assessments by the elements required by the Title I statute at the State, district, and school levels. Finally, Idaho needs to clarify the components of its final assessment system and the contribution of that system to a school's or district's Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).

The Quality of Vocational Education, June 1998 Responsiveness of Vocational Teacher Education to Major Initiatives in Perkins II A second major purpose of this paper is to provide data and information about the responsiveness of vocational teacher education to major initiatives in Perkins II: (a) tech prep, (b) integration of academic and vocational education content and programs, (c) school to work transition, and (d) work with special populations. The data and information are limited as follows: Survey data collected and reported herein were limited to the 20 universities currently (1993) affiliated with the University Council on Vocational Education (UCVE). Funds were not provided to survey beyond these universities. The data are self reporting, in response to open-ended questions, and limited to the amount of information and detail provided in writing by the respondents. No attempt was made to validate the information beyond the evidence provided through the mail by the respondents (e.g., some attached course syllabi, catalog descriptions of new courses, workshop announcements, abstracts of research projects, etc.; others did not submit attachments). There is little in the extant literature that describes efforts at colleges and universities to respond to Perkins II initiatives. Since Perkins II has so recently been implemented nationwide, it is probably too soon for articles to be published about college and university efforts in this legislated arena. A few articles and studies that did report on implementation efforts are included with the data presented in the following sections. Some of the efforts identified were begun prior to implementing Perkins II.

COMMISSION ON EXCELLENCE IN SPECIAL EDUCATION ISSUES REPORT The President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education was created by President Bush in October of 2001 to review and make recommendations about the current system of providing special education under the IDEA. Its final report, A New Era: Revitalizing Special Education for Children and their Families , was issued in July. The Commission's findings and recommendations are expected to be major influences on policymakers, especially Congress, as it begins the process of reauthorization of the IDEA. Parent and advocate groups are encouraged to read and disseminate the report and to discuss it among themselves. Following are two excerpts from the report: the Summary of Findings and the Summary of Major Recommendations. You can find the entire document through Advocacy, Inc.'s website ( http://www.advocacyinc.org ). It is also available through the government's website ( http://www.ed.gov/inits/commissionsboards/whspecialeducation/ Summary of Findings Finding 1: Finding 2: The current system uses an antiquated model that waits for a child to fail, instead of a model based on prevention and intervention. Too little emphasis is put on prevention, early and accurate identification of learning and behavior problems, and aggressive intervention using research-based approaches. This means students with disabilities don't get help early when that help can be most effective. Special education should be for those who do not respond to strong and appropriate instruction and methods provided in general education.
