Kurran Strunk of South Bend Schools Named Indiana's 2001 Teacher of the Year FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Monday, September 25, 2000 CONTACTS:
Mary Tiede Wilhelmus 317-232-6614
Cathy Danyluk 317-232-9150 A teacher of special education classes who once intended to be the first woman president of the United States, Kurran Strunk of the South Bend Community School Corporation, was named today as Indiana's 2001 Teacher of the Year by Superintendent of Public Instruction Suellen Reed. Mrs. Strunk's selection was announced in a surprise ceremony at Muessel Elementary School, where she has taught emotionally handicapped, learning disabled, and mildly mentally handicapped children seven years in a general education classroom. She previously taught children with learning disabilities two years at Argos Community Junior-Senior High School, Argos. She earned a bachelor's degree magna cum laude in 1991 at Indiana State University and a master's degree in 1998 at Indiana University South Bend. Her husband, Bill Strunk, also teaches in South Bend. "This is a teacher who is an achiever because she is a 'believer,'" Dr. Reed said in response to remarks Mrs. Strunk made about her career in teaching children with special educational needs. "She believes in her students, and they know she believes in them - then they can feel comfortable in believing in themselves. Once they believe in their strengths and abilities, they accomplish more than they or anyone else might ever imagine they can achieve.

http://www.idtc-in.com/school.html
Indiana Developmental Training Center's nationally recognized School Programs are designed to educate special needs youth. Academic Instruction, Occupational and Speech Therapy, Vocational Training and Independent Living Skills are part of the educational services offered.
All teachers at IDTC have specialized training in the care and education of developmentally disabled students. Some teachers at IDTC are certified by the State of Indiana in one or more of the following areas:
  • General Education Learning Disabilities Mildly Mentally Handicapped (MiMH) Moderately Mentally Handicapped (MoMH) Emotionally Handicapped (EH) Severely/Profoundly Handicapped
Classrooms are generally limited to ten students and are also staffed by youth care workers who also serve as teachers' aides. The overall classroom ratio is maintained at 1:3 to 1:4 to enhance academic learning and to ensure mastery of skills. Additionally, special therapists augment the educational program, providing individual and group speech and occupational therapy. They facilitate learning, as well as providing formal diagnostic evaluation in the areas of perception, processing, sensory motor functioning and neurological integrative and adaptive living skills. An Individual Education Plan (IEP) is developed for each student. Goals and objectives are clearly defined and measured, and progress is evaluated.

CURRICULAR CONGRUENCE
At-risk learners benefit from instructional activities that are carefully planned and mutually supported by classroom teachers and learning center staff (Nelson, 1994). Unfortunately, many schools provide separate instruction in both settings. For example, in the English classroom, students may explore the theme of good and evil by reading and discussing William Golding's "Lord of the Flies," whereas in the learning center, at-risk students may complete workbook exercises and other fragmented activities unrelated to the instructional theme. Clearly, at-risk learners are more likely to be successful when classroom and learning center teachers provide them with congruent goals, resources, strategies, and skills. An important part of this classroom/learning center connection is cooperative planning time that is built into the teaching assignments of the English staff (Raywid, 1993). These professionals are scheduled weekly for 20-minute periods of teaching and for one period of mutual planning with the learning center staff. During the planning session, the key players discuss their community of learners and organize congruent activities that support effective learning.

We plan to provide useful information about RCS special education services as well as links to other useful resources. Please plan to visit often to see what is new. Special education and related services are provided by the Richmond Community Schools for students with disabilities ages 3 through 21. Services are available in each of our 17 schools along with private and parochial schools in our community. Students who need services beyond those provided in the schools may be served in alternative community settings. Each student receives services based on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) specifically designed to meet his/her educational needs.
Over 1200 students receive some type of special education services. These services are provided by 80 professional and 110 paraprofessionals and support staff. Most students are served appropriately in the schools and classrooms they would attend if not disabled. However, if a student has needs which cannot be met in a typical classroom setting, more specialized classrooms are available.
Parents are encouraged to be an active member of the Case Conference Committee which constructs the IEP for the student. Additionally, all parents are invited to attend the Special Parents Advisory to the Richmond Community Schools

Are High-Stakes Tests Punishing Some Students?
Can high-stakes tests cure what ails education? Today, Education World explores the issue of high-stakes testing. We examine whether the tests hurt some students, especially English-learning, low-income, and learning-disabled students. It sounds so simple: Test kids on what they should know, and hold teachers and students accountable for those scores. If students don't pass the test, then hold them back a grade or deny them their high school diploma.
Are High-Stakes Tests the Answer?
Are standardized tests, especially high-stakes tests that link grade promotion and graduation, a Band-Aid to fix what is ailing schools? Many people think tests are a way to make educators and students accountable. Others disagree, saying one test is just that one test, only one indicator of what students have learned. Share with us your opinions about high-stakes testing on our message board However, as large numbers of children including many low-income, ethnic- or racial-minority, and special-education students fail those tests, a quiet revolt is mounting. The revolt is led by those who feel that a single test should not be the basis for such things as getting a diploma or being promoted to the next grade.

Missouri Children Have Right to Maximization of Their Potential Under State Law.
The Missouri Court of Appeals has ruled that children in Missouri have the right to maximization of their potential under state law. In Lagares v. Camdenton R. III School District, , WD 59162 (MO Ct. Appls. December 18, 2001), the parents challenged the standard by which a free appropriate public education is judged. The parents argued that state law set a "higher standard" than federal law. The Missouri Court of Appeals agreed, finding that Missouri state law requires maximization of a child's potential. The case can be read at http://www.osca.state.mo.us/courts/pubopinions.nsfcc

80. Indiana's Comprehensive System Of Personnel Development Plan
education services to meet the needs of the A discussion with the indiana SpecialOlympics and the individuals with disabilities with nondisabled peers in
http://baby.indstate.edu/iseas/cspd.html
The design of Indiana's Comprehensive System of Personnel Development plan is predicated, in large part, on the philosophy of local control and distribution of responsibility for planning and implementation of personnel development activities. The rationale for this design includes: 1. the long-standing philosophy of both school and governmental units in Indiana that local control is preferable to state control; 2. one of the keystones of the quality practices concept is the provision of training provided at or near the participants' job sites; 3. the disparity of identified needs of personnel in various parts of the state due to the geographic differences, the varying philosophies of the programming and levels of sophistication in the provision of services to infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities. There are sixty-five (65) special education planning districts in Indiana. Each planning district is required to submit a local CSPD plan with its application for Part B pass-through funds. To assist the districts in implementing personnel development activities to meet locally identified needs, Part B SEA Discretionary Grant funds specifically earmarked for personnel development are offered to each special education planning district. The amount of money available for a given district is based on the number of identified students receiving special education services according to the most recent Child count data and varies slightly each year. For FY 97 (School year 1996-1997), a total of $1 million was distributed for local level activities through this method. Content areas for local personnel development are not established or mandated by the Indiana Department of Education, Division of Special Education. However, each planning district's plan was required to coordinate building-level/personnel and family involvement in the development of activities. State rules mandate that a local CSPD committee be developed to review and evaluate the planning district's personnel development plan and activities. Furthermore, at the end of the Grant period, planning districts are required to submit a Final Report of the CSPD activities conducted to the Division of Special Education.
