Model UN programs have been in existence for more than forty years serving to teach students the history, politics and foreign policies of various countries through role-playing. Students begin to understand the importance of the United Nations in the world today. They become familiar with major international problems and issues and experience the give and take of diplomacy as they attempt to pass resolutions. In addition, the model provides an opportunity for students to learn parliamentary procedure and to improve their public speaking skills. At the IUS conference, students are assigned, two to a delegation, to one of the fifteen countries in the UN Security Council to debate issues and pass resolutions. Awards are given to the best delegate and delegation of each Council and the best position papers written on each agenda topic. The experience is a win-win situation for students.

The program began in 1994 by examining our current pest control behavior. It was evident that we needed to change what we were doing and how we went about doing it. The pilot IPM program began with three (3) schools in the winter of 1996. During the summer of that year it was decided the program could be initiated in all 18 MCCSC schools. That was done in August of 1996. The Partnership that was formed to accomplish this task consisted of: Dr. Marc Lame of the Indiana University School of Public and Environmental Affairs and coordinator of the Lilly Fellowship Program

48. The Use Of Electronic Portfolios In Alternative Middle Schools Currently, two alternative middle schools are participating Seventh and eighth gradestudents have learned about the indiana Academic Standards, and are http://iasep.soe.purdue.edu/Projects/EPinAltMidSch.htm

The Use of Electronic Portfolios in Alternative Middle Schools As one of the fastest growing segments of the public education system, "at-risk" students present challenges in terms of instruction and assessment. Often presenting with low grades, poor attendance, and low standardized test scores, these students do not meet the criteria for special education. Frequent moves from school to school, family chaos, poverty, and a long-standing lack of success have often contributed to their academic difficulties and may outweigh their average to above average intellectual capacities. The early desire to learn about the world has often been transformed into apathy and boredom by the time they reach middle school. Questions then become: What are ways in which educators can assist these students in reinvesting in their education? In what ways do students' reinvestment in their own learning process change their lives and the lives of others around them? What are the best ways in which to assess at-risk students?

DISTANCE LEARNING PROGRAMS (Dlps) / CORRESPONDENCE SCHOOLS / ONLINE SCHOOLS / SATELLITE SCHOOLS / COMPUTER-ASSISTED LEARNING I.Proper Accreditation V. Distance Learning/Correspondence Programs II. I ndependent ... IV. DETC Accredited High School Programs I. PROPER ACCREDITATION Important: Read this before you proceed! Accreditation is important as a way of validating a given school, or department within a school; it proves the organisation has been thoroughly investigated by a group of impartial experts and found worthy of approval. Accrediting agencies will investigate the mission statement of the organisation, require proof that the school is living up to its mission goals, met its academic standards, and also look into the financial standing of the academic institution. In most other nations, colleges and universities are chartered by their national or provincial governments. Eg., the UK the Open and Distance Learning Quality Council assesses distance learning programs. But the bad news is that investigating accreditation of US schools can be really confusing, like opening a can of worms. There are many different accrediting agencies. Also beware that many "unaccredited" US schools call themselves accredited in their prospectuses and websites.. You really need to understand what the recognised accrediting agencies are. For example, the Department of Education does not accredit any school or institution, it merely "licenses" it or approves it as fulfilling certain legal requirements in order to exist at all, ranging from incorporation to certification or other state approval. Many schools which call themselves accredited private schools are in fact "licensed" schools.

AC Homepage Frequently Asked Questions Enrollment Form AC Brochure ... SCIS Website downloadable in pdf form HSE's Alternative Calendar (AC) program shortens the summer vacation and extends time off during the fall and spring breaks of the traditional calendar. Students begin approximately five days earlier and end seven days later. The AC schedule has an eleven (school) day fall break instead of a three-day break; in the spring they have two weeks off instead of one week. All traditional calendar holiday breaks coincide with the Alternate Calendar breaks. During the fall and spring AC breaks, students may attend intersession activities. This provides a variety of options for planning family time together, attending remedial sessions, and giving parents, teachers and students a chance to refresh themselves. Many feel the academic results are better with this format. The Alternate Calendar is a CHOICE in HSE (subject to enrollment limits and requirements). It began in 1999 as a pilot at Lantern Road Elementary and expanded to 872 students by the 2002-2003 school year. An alternative calendar exists in many forms and for different reasons at districts around the country.

By Charlie Roduta of The News-Sentinel Prayers are said to soothe the soul, but local Catholic school officials are looking at other ways to ease students' anxiety when taking a test. Brain-based learning methods from motivational speaker Bruce Boguski could have students lighting a peppermint-scented candle while studying or rubbing the edge of their ear while taking a test - two ways of boosting the memory, Boguski said. "With (Boguski's) methods, we hope that it increases our ISTEP+ scores," said Jo Ann Roscoe, associate superintendent for the Catholic Diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend. Though private and parochial school students traditionally score higher than state averages on the ISTEP exam, school officials say there is still room for improvement. Even if that means looking at alternative ways to make sure students are relaxed and focused when taking the test. Boguski presented stress-reducing tactics to diocese teachers and staff Friday.

Among the measures the Governor has proposed are transferring the $247 million from the Build Indiana Fund to the state’s General Fund. This will postpone indefinitely a number of local projects that have already been approved for Build Indiana Funds. O’Bannon has also announced a “last-ditch” contingency plan that will make $365 million in permanent cuts from the budget, make $406 million in one-time cuts, and transfer about $1.1 billion from other funds. The Governor’s proposal will also spend most of the state’s reserves. Among the permanent cuts will be $35 million in categorical grants to public schools.
