Q: Who mandates funding in the special education program?
do they bases any of the funding from test, such as the TAKS test, when deciding funding.

A: Funding for special eduction comes from state and federal levels. More from federal than state. (http://www.ed.gov/about/offices/list/osers/index.html) Much of it is based on the number of children in the special education program and also what disabilities they have. (A child with autism may need many more services that a child with a learning disability)

Q: what should a successful environmental education program for high school students include?
what information should be included in an environmental science curriculum? should politics be included as well as science? discussion of established techniques only, or new ones as well? how would you measure the program's success?

A: There are many issues in environmental education and the subject matter changes so rapidly that it would be best to present an open discussion format with hands-on projects for high school students. Portfolios could be developed to present student work and an environmental education propgram could be integrated into language arts, government, or any other social science. One recommendation is to research best practices that exist for environmental education and instruction. Starting with the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) and clicking the top bar on the home page for education topics you'll find information about environmental education. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) also has decent teacher resources. I used their website in my government class when we discussed the history of environmental protection and mining in Colorado. Also, it was useful when developing hands-on learning for all levels of learners in my classroom. Basically, I allowed the students to develop their own interests during the introductory phase of my course and offered guidance on topics that were relevant to the course. We kept portfolios of work and students were required to complete both a visual presentation and a written paper.

Q: Which school has a better music education program?
University of Wisconsin (Madison) or University of Wisconsin (Eau Claire)? What are your experiences with one program or the other?

A: Well I haven't had any experiences with the music department, but I can probably almost guarantee you that you will be better off with University of Wisconsin Madison. My grandparents, my parents and my aunt and uncle are all alumni of UWEC, and they all tell me not to go there because the professors are weird and the school thinks that they are better than everyone else, and pretty much the entire atmosphere of the school is less than great. But that's just my take on it:) Sorry I couldn't help you out with the music part, but I thought maybe I'd just give you my family and I's opinion.

Newer questions tend to get more activity than older ones do. 2) If you do re-post your question, consider why it wasn't answered well the first time. Could it be more specific?

Q: How do you get into an education program if you have something on your criminal record?


A: Getting into an education program is not the issue/question. The question is, can you qualify for licensure as a teacher or school administrator. If the answer to that question is "no", the answer to the other question means very little. Because there are a number of variables, including the nature of your offense, your age at the time, and the teacher licensing statutes in your state, you need expert advice. You may find that you have no problem at all, you may learn that you will be able to teach in some states but not others, or you may find that you can not qualify for licensure. Some private schools hire unlicensed teachers, but there numbers are limited. And, your criminal record, may be an obstacle. There are three ways to get accurate information. Do an internet search to find licensing requirements in the states in which you might like to teach, meet with an advisor in the education department of the nearest college or university with a teacher preparation program, or hire an attorney to research the issue for you.

Q: What is a small Florida college with a great EDUCATION program?
Thank you! :)

A: Try Googling "Community colleges in Florida." Most smaller colleges are community colleges and since our nation is in a recession, it may be the better bet financially AS WELL AS academically. Just make sure whatever college you choose to go to, to make sure its accredited by SACS (southern association for colleges and schools)

Q: How can we further improve the parents' involvement in their child's (w/ special needs) education program?
we do a monthly parent-support group meetings with varied activities, we give at least a weekly feedback on their child's progress, we have an open communication, we educate the parents and their caregivers on how to manage behaviors, we made this clear in our school policies w/their signatures attached, but still only a handful of parents do a true follow-up (the caregivers can attest to that because they always complain to us).

A: Your school seems to be doing a lot of things right. Two important principles to remember: 1) If you do all the work in a relationship, the other party may be satisfied with that, 2) Making opportunities available is not the same as making personal communication happen. On the first principle, ask parents to be EQUAL partners in every endeavor. Think of ways to stress this point in each activity. Try to put mechanisms in place that adjust school involvement to match parent involvement. Implement incentives for parents who are the most supportive. On the second principle, do more than just publish all your wonderful programs to parents at large. Instead, have staff contact individual parents. Your chance for individual response is roughly the difference between 10% and 80%. Of course, with close friends and family members, it may be closer to 90%. These principles and practices should increase your support significantly. Just keep in mind, even the most loving, dedicated, and well-intentioned parents are very busy with other things besides school support. Give them incentives to readjust their priorities and think of themselves as an essential part of a vital team. Also, parents of children with special needs need to feel respected, valued, and validated. Speak respectfully to them. Take the time to listen to them. Allow them to express their emotions and create a positive emotional bond. At the same time, maintain a professional relationship by repeatedly referring back to the interest of their children as your common focus.
