Extractions: - September 17th each year. Observes the anniversary of the US Constitution being completed and signed and approved, 1787) "In 1940, Congress designated the third Sunday in May as "I am an American Day." Many cities continue to observe this holiday. On February 29, 1952, President Harry Truman signed a bill establishing September 17 as Citizenship Day replacing the May observance and moving the date to the one on which the U.S. Constitution was signed in 1787. The intent of the bill was to give recognition to those who had become American Citizens during the preceding year. The celebrations include pageantry and speeches to impress Americans with the privileges and responsibilities of U.S. citizenship." Source:

AmeriCorps Network Northwest Symposium 1998 idaho TRIO AmeriCorps Program Horseshoe Bend High School resources cant meet the need of all idahos students, especially those with special needs. http://www.nwrel.org/ecc/americorps/symposiums/1998/other/wright.html
Extractions: Horseshoe Bend, Idaho I lead a circular life. I usually drive off at 7:00 in the morning into the cold and dark with a cup of coffee in my hand. I sometimes dont pull out of Horseshoe Bend until late, when it is cold and dark, and I have a cup of coffee in my hand. Everything that happens in between can be exciting, frustrating, rewarding, aggravating and unforgettable. It takes over a half hour each morning for me to reach my site in the small town of Horseshoe Bend, Idaho. I like the drive. I use the time to prepare myself for day, to set my goals and make plans. I also prepare for what might go wrong. It isnt easy working with at-risk high school students. They are usually frustrated and lacking motivation. They need help in almost every area. Their extensive needs is what makes my position at the school so interesting. As Horseshoe Bends first AmeriCorps member I was allowed to develop the position around my strengths and the most immediate needs. I havent been able to meet every goal, but AmeriCorps presence has helped the school in many ways. Horseshoe Bend applied for its AmeriCorps member through the Idaho TRIO AmeriCorps (ITAC) program. ITAC is an education based program that focuses on needs for people of all ages. Members serve throughout the state of Idaho, working as mentors and tutors. The sites range from schools to colleges to prisons. According to ITACs mission statement, "Current educational resources cant meet the need of all Idahos students, especially those with special needs. Helping students stay in school, get better grades, learn about career opportunities, and become more productive citizens is the goal of the Idaho TRIO AmeriCorps program."

Homeschoolers, like all educators, often fall into the easy trap of spouting educational jargon until it becomes almost meaningless, especially to newcomers. We forget, perhaps, that everyone was once a newcomer. The term "unit studies" is an especially slippery fish of a term, because it can mean so many things. It may refer to a relaxed, interest led frolic through a subject, initiated by a child's interest in, for instance, cars. The child reads about cars, draws cars, examines the insides of cars, takes cars apart, measures cars, studies the math and science of cars, bakes and eats car shaped cakes, and builds a model car.

Pocatello Idaho State Journal: District 25 To Offer 'school Choice' POCATELLO Even though School District 25 students idaho Standards Achievement Test results AYP and were designated as needs improvement schools. http://www.journalnet.com/articles/2004/08/02/news/local/news02.txt
Extractions: Because of this, District 25 Testing Director Ronda Black said the district will be offering "school choice" this year, giving parents the option to enroll their child in a school that is not a "needs improvement" school. The federal No Child Left Behind Act mandates that if a school is designated "needs improvement" two years in a row, the district must offer parents "school choice." District officials cannot say until late August how many or which schools in the district did not meet Average Yearly Progress, which is the method for measuring scholastic improvement mandated by the Federal No Child Left Behind Act, and the basis for the "needs improvement" designation. Even though some of the schools did not meet AYP, district officials are pleased with the results.
