With this statistic, the need to increase and build science knowledge is a top priority. The fourth grade core curriculum creates many opportunities to explore the environment and the state which we live. In our curriculum fourth graders are to be able to observe, record, analyze, and predict the weather. We are also focusing on the different places within Utah. With these core curriculum areas as the focal point, the class will establish a weather station to observe, record, analyze, and predict the weather of Cedar City. We will then video each student acting as a meteorologist to forecast the weather. A class web page will have a brief vocal weather synopsis of our area. Students will build e-mail penpals with other fourth grade classes around the state. Project Goals:

Like countless other castaways, Sun found refuge at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary until his death several years ago from natural causes. Despite its remote location in Angels Canyon five miles north of Kanab, the shelter has blossomed into the world's largest no-kill pet sanctuary since its founding in the early 1980s. Animals there get the chance to pass peacefully over the Rainbow Bridge the sanctuary's euphemism for death instead of being cast across by cruelty or euthanasia.

A Message from Michael O. Leavitt, Governor of Utah Utah's future appears bright as we enter a new century. Our state continues to rank high in economic and employment growth. In 2002, Utah will host the world for the Winter Olympic Games. For the past three years, the Wasatch Front has been enveloped in a flurry of construction projects - new freeways, public transportation, hotels, condominiums, and sports venues. While our state economy appears vital and robust, lower income families are finding that their wages are not keeping pace with skyrocketing housing costs. That's where the Utah Housing Corporation can help. With a mission to provide safe, secure and sanitary housing for Utah residents earning low and moderate incomes, UHC is dedicated to improving the quality of life for families, single parents, senior citizens, disabled and special needs people. Most importantly, the Corporation meets this goal without using state revenue. Instead, UHC takes an innovative, entrepreneurial approach. Authorized by the state to sell tax-exempt bonds, UHC lends the proceeds to eligible borrowers through private lending institutions. These low-cost, low-interest mortgage loans enable more low-income people to invest in their own homes rather than incurring the expense of rent. Finding quality, affordable housing in rural Utah is particularly difficult because of the additional cost to import labor and supplies to build homes in less populated areas. Through its nationally-recognized CROWN and ECHO programs, UHC partners with local communities to help solve this problem. The Corporation purchases land, finances construction, and works with local governments, construction trade schools, not-for-profit and for-profit entities to build affordable new homes for immediate sale or longer-term rent-to-own solutions.

Introduction Determining the Least Restrictive Environment for Your Child What Is “Supported Inclusive Education”? How Does Inclusion Differ From Mainstreaming? ... BACK CHAPTER FOUR Introduction When developing an IEP for your child, it is important to remember that your child is entitled to a free appropriate program implemented in the Least Restrictive Environment. This chapter discusses issues for your consideration when determining placement for your child. According to law, first consideration should always be given to placement in a general education classroom with the use of appropriate supplementary aids and services, often referred to as "supported inclusive education." Inclusion Is A Value We view inclusion as a value, a set of humanistic beliefs that have been encoded in federal law. These laws clearly reflect that individuals with disabilities are valued members of society. Inclusion is a process through which we discover our similarities, rather than our differences, and we focus on our strengths, not our weaknesses.

VOL.10 NO. 4 THE MAGAZINE OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UTAH SPRING 2001 EDUCATION'S CHANGING CORE Teaching a K- 12 class has never been more challenging. Just ask the teacher of teachers— the College of Education. by Anne-Marie Wright T he image of striking teachers holding rallies, walking neighborhoods, and waving signs at the statewide walkout on December 5, 2000, perhaps said it all: the challenges facing Utah’s K-12 schools are growing almost as fast as the number of students. With low teacher salaries, large class sizes, and many state licensure require-ments, it’s not surprising that teachers are in short supply. But expanding diversity and the increasingly information-oriented economy make good teachers more vital than ever. Administrators divided what was the edu-cation studies department into two separate departments. The Department of Teaching and Learning prepares pre-service and in-ser-vice K-12 classroom teachers through degree and licensure programs. The Department of Education, Culture, and Society offers only graduate degrees that pre-pare teachers for academic careers in the social and cultural foundations of education, and provides service courses that emphasize diversity and multicultural education. Changing Demographics “There is a very reciprocal relationship between the University and the public schools,” says Mary Burbank BS’86 BS’87, a clinical instructor in the new Department of Teaching and Learning who works primarily with students preparing to teach in middle and high schools. “The most exciting challenge is the changing demographics in our state, in our city, and in current classrooms because it provides us an opportunity to examine the nature of schooling in different ways.”

It requires a set of behaviors, beliefs, attitudes, and values. The result is a sense of shared ownership, shared responsibility, shared success." Bishop, K.K. (1993) Family/Professional Collaboration for Children with Special Health Needs and Their Families (Monograph), Burlington, Vermont: Department of Social Work, University of Vermont, pg. 11-12. As parents anticipate the transition of their student with disabilities from school programs to adult services they are faced with significant challenges. In order to accomplish the complex planning and successful outcomes desired, effective collaboration between parents and professionals is essential. "No one can do it alone. Improving the quality of life and the education of children with disabilities and their families requires the collective knowledge, skills, experience and expertise of all family members and professionals. It requires that the community and all service systems work together to achieve the goals of the child and family." Ibid.
