Contact Us Fractal Collaboration Do you know what fractals are? A powerful mathematical concept, fractals are the "patterns" in chaos theory. They explain many natural phenomena. Perhaps you've seen the computer programs where you can draw trees by selecting the shape of the tiniest branch and building it up until it creates a tree. No matter how big or small you make it, it has the same characteristic shape. Snowflakes and river pathways are fractals. Fractals help explain dynamical systems which are multifaceted, complex and interdependent. Dynamical systems are sensitive and nonlinear and unpredictable in detail because they are open, either to "outside" influences or to their own subtle internal fluctuations. Dynamical systems imply a holism in which everything influences, or potentially influences, everything else.* Perhaps the best metaphor for Whitley County Consolidated Schools' success is fractal collaboration . Collaboration and teamwork visible at every level. At the corporation office. Inside the school. Between school and community. The corporation office is located in the old middle school building just west of downtown Columbia City. On the outside it looks like many old high schools. Inside though, there's a difference. Along with the school's administrative office, central duplicating, and pre-school programs, the building also houses the offices and pre-school of Passages, the area center for disabled and special needs citizens; the Community Youth Improvement Center; the Alternative High School; Head Start; and the Community Literacy Council.

It is written from the personal perspective of a parent who has shared this experience and all that goes with it. Many things can be done to help yourself through this period of trauma. That is what this paper is all about. In order to talk about some of the good things that can happen to alleviate the anxiety, let us first take a look at some of the reactions that occur.

Charter schools are independent, public schools of choice. They are designed and operated by educators, parents, and community leaders. They are sponsored by designated local or state organizations that monitor their quality. Because they are free of traditional bureaucratic red-tape, charter schools typically focus on new and innovative approaches to teaching and management, specifically tailored to educational and community needs. The "charter" establishing each school is a performance contract. Therefore, charter schools must uphold the highest standards. Goals: Accountability: Charter schools are held accountable for how well they educate children based upon the guidelines established in their charters. If they fail to meet their goals, whether fiscal, operational, or educational, they are closed. Charter schools bring true accountability to public education. Choice: Students choose to attend and teachers choose to teach at charter schools. This provides the charter school operators with an incentive to provide students and parents with the best educational environment. In addition, charter schools create incentives for regular public schools to provide equal or better services in order to retain students. Flexibility: Charter schools operate independently of local school boards and are given authority over budget, curriculum and staff issues.

EDO-CS-97-08 June 1997 Student Diversity and Learning Needs Prepared by: Joseph Sanacore ERIC Clearinghouse on Reading, English, and Communication Digest #127 To successfully reach out to a diversity of learners requires substantial support. Although budget-minded critics will argue that such support is costly, they need to be reminded that an investment in prevention today will eliminate or lessen the expense of remediation tomorrow. Not surprisingly, educators who receive substantial help are more effective when carrying out worthwhile innovations that increase all students' potential for success. This notion of support is vitally important because students' "at-riskness" will not disappear and because the government and educational community continue to believe in the efficacy of raising academic standards. This Digest will discuss some sources of support intended as a complement to and a scaffold for teachers and administrators who experiment with different ways of meeting a diversity of learning needs. 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)
