Extractions: Home Textbooks Books Music ... Product Support Joe P. Sutton, Ph.D. Educating mildly disabled students has not been a high priority item on the educational agendas of many private Christian schools. In fact, recent studies show that special education in Christian schools is almost nonexistent, where only between 8 and 16 percent of Christian schools nationwide operate formal programs (Carver, 1989; Sutton, in press). With the emphasis placed on disabled persons in the Scripture (Sutton, 1990) however, most Christian educators would probably agree that our schools must do more in providing for the needs of mildly disabled students through formal special education programs. Another reason why we should be more concerned about the needs of mildly disabled students is that we are finding more of these students cropping up in regular classrooms. Hallahan, McNergney, Sutton (1989) report that in today's schools it would not be uncommon to find two to four mainstreamed mildly disabled students in regular classrooms of 25 to 30 students. The concept of mainstreaming presumes that mildly disabled students have received some direct services for their disabilities from special educators in either resource or self-contained special education classrooms prior to being reintegrated into regular classrooms. Although the lack of special education programs precludes significant mainstreaming efforts in Christian schools at the present time, the potential for finding mildly disabled students in regular classrooms is still there. The only difference is that many mildly disabled students in Christian schools simply have not been formally identified as yet.

Untitled In this environment, Lew was able to continue the work he had begun in ohio by providinginstruction disabled children and the special Education community http://www.ladse.org/clewismartin.shtml
Extractions: LADSE's Founding Father Charles Lewis Martin, who preferred to be called Lew, was born on April 30, 1915 on a farm near Hebron, Ohio. He described his family as close, always showing love and respect for each other, and life on the farm engendered the values of hard work, honesty, love of God, and service. This sense of connectedness to others was nurtured by his extended family and carried over into the small farming community. Lew came from a family that valued education. His mother and sister were teachers, and his maternal grandfather served as a superintendent prior to becoming a banker. One winter, when his sister was ill and could not teach, Lew offered to be her substitute. This experience was deeply moving and, "...the joy of seeing children learn convinced me that education was to my real love." (Lane, 1988) He resolved to become a teacher, earned an undergraduate degree from Ohio University in 1941 and a graduate degree from Ohio State University. His master's thesis reflected his educational philosophy and was titled, "An experiment in the further democratization of the operations of an elementary school." This philosophy, which he embodied daily during his career was "...to move as far away from an authoritarian approach to administration as possible and to involve as many people as possible in the running of the school." (Lane, 1988). In 1948, Lew declined an offer to become superintendent of the River Grove School District in Ohio and accepted a position with LaGrange School District 102 to become the principal of Congress Park Elementary School. He was drawn to this position by Superintendent James Pease, who shared his democratic leadership style and excitement for educational innovation. In this environment, Lew was able to continue the work he had begun in Ohio by providing instruction to slow learners and other students with special needs. By 1954, Lew's role had expanded to include being a principal and an assistant superintendent working with special education programs.

Extractions: Schools Today's DD children attend regular schools and regular preschools. In the past, children with mobility issues were placed in schools for the disabled, but this is not true today. While a DD child might be placed under the auspices of a school's Special Education Department, often in a category called "orthopedic only", they are not special ed students per se, but rather use the Special Ed staff to get any environmental adaptations in place. Acquaint yourself with the schools in your area a child can be bused out of his/her home school area to a barrier-free school, and this is preferable to a school with stairs. School principals have a lot of clout in determining the tone of their individual schools. If necessary, shop for a school and a sympathetic school principal with the help of your school superintendent's office. In this day and age when schools often teach about the differences in all of us, usually DD children are teased less often at school than their peers are most parents report that these children end up being almost too popular. Be aware, however, that an occasional school official will use "abuse" as a scare tactic either out of ignorance or to make his/her job easier.

Urban Commission's Legislative Agenda 1994 The Urban Commission of the Ohio School Boards Association represents 21 of the state's larger urban school districts. Together we have over 20 percent of Ohio's school children Ohio's urban educators realize that the key to the economic success of our state depends on our ability to adequately prepare the work force of the future. While many of our students graduate from high school well prepared for jobs or higher education, many others do not. We realize that we must make radical changes in our schools if we are to increase our graduation rates and assure that our graduates are indeed prepared for the future. We are prepared to take on the challenge of altering the structure of our schools to better meet the needs of our students and their future employers. We need the support of the State Board of Education, the Governor, and the Ohio General Assembly to achieve success for all of our students. The remainder of this document addresses areas of greatest concern and makes recommendations for legislative changes, which would make meaningful improvement in our schools.

Extractions: Cameron, New York By moving the meal service sites to a nearby trailer park, the Addison Central School District was able to overcome the transportation barrier that prevents so many rural children from participating in SFSP. The trailer park was an ideal location because the majority of families qualified for free and reduced price school meals. The school district enlisted parents as volunteers and included them in nutrition education and other enrichment activities. Mt. Lake Park, Maryland Kudos to the Garrett County Health Department for believing it could! Until 1999, the children of this rural, impoverished community did not have access to Summer meals. In the past, public and private groups had discussed the need for the program, but no agency felt capable of sponsoring it. Believing that healthy behaviors are caught not taught, the Departments nutritionists, health educators, and outreach staff identified the need to work with both children and their families to teach health education. To achieve this, it combined the funding sources from other grant programs. It also sponsored "Serious Fun Day Camps" for three weeks, in three targeted regions, to maximize limited staff resources. Most of the children were able to walk to the camps which were located in town parks. Children were taught nutrition and healthy behaviors while enjoying Summer meals. They often applied what they learned to real life by preparing their own lunches and snacks!
