Running head: PEER TUTORING AND DOWN SYNDROME Peer Tutoring a Down Syndrome Student Your Name Southeastern Louisiana University Abstract This single-subject study will examine the effects of peer tutoring on the improvement in number recognition and letter recognition for a seven year-old female student with Down Syndrome. The subject will be fully mainstreamed into a regular kindergarten classroom at Cajun Primary School with appropriate instructional modifications for the child's physical abilities. If the results should show that peer tutoring increases the child's number recognition and letter recognition skills, then peer tutoring should be considered for other learning tasks as well. Peer Tutoring a Down Syndrome Student The inclusion of special education students into the regular classroom environment is not a new issue. Since the passing of the landmark federal legislative act PL.. 94-142 in the 1970's, special education students in the United States have been integrated into the mainstream in varying degrees. What is a more recent subject of controversy is the topic of full inclusion. Can special education students be placed in a regular classroom for the entire day and receive the appropriate instruction? How can teachers meet the needs of such students?

Extractions: The School Transportation Century I f the 18 th century is considered the period of school transportation infancy and the 19 th century is the period of the industry's adolescence, the 20 th century saw the evolution of a fully developed, mature industry. The solidifying role of the various disciplines such as construction standards, national minimum standards guidelines, scheduling and routing, federal motor vehicle safety standards, special needs transportation, railroad grade crossing safety, state and federal government involvement, occupant protection and more, have had a profound effect on the industry. Throughout the last 100 years, the industry provided more than an estimated 500 billion student rides as the ranks of students being transported swelled to nearly 55 percent of all K-12 students. As the century drew to a close, the Yellow School Bus has replaced the Little Red Schoolhouse as the symbol of K-12 public education in the United States. There is scant indication that transportation by yellow school bus will diminish during the 21 st century.

Extractions: Tackling over 400 bills, lawmakersworked down to the wire to reach agreement onhow to best spend taxpayer dollars at the 1998Regular Session of the State Legislature. As youmay remember this session was limited by theState Constitution to consideration of statespending and specific tax matters. However, thefiscal session debate involved more than justdollars and cents. Indeed, the dollars and cents news wasgood this session. For the fourth year in a row,the state had a budget surplus to help pay offstate construction debt and free up money forother important needs. Additionally, increasedincome tax and sales tax collections this fiscalyear along with efficiencies in state agencies,freed up more tax dollars to pay off even morestate debt. And with continuing good economictimes and a commitment to preserving ourexisting tax base, the states financial situation islooking fairly stable in the coming fiscal year. The challenge facing lawmakers at thefiscal session was deciding how much money thestate needed to provide services to citizens; howbest to collect those revenues and how best tofocus the available dollars on Louisiana'simmediate and long-term needs.

This year he's especially interested in finding math, science, special education (learning disabled/behaviorally disabled), and speech therapy majors.

Extractions: If Congress were made up of ASBJ readers, IDEA would be in for a major overhaul or, at least, some significant revision. That's the message we received from your responses to July's question: Do we need to revise IDEA (the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)? Fifty percent of you said IDEA needs serious overhaul, 45 percent said it could use some revision, and 5 percent said "leave it alone." "IDEA mandates lack logic and plain old common sense," said a Louisiana board member. "It is so out of control that we should do away with it completely." Most readers wouldn't go that far. But several said IDEA, which aims to provide educational opportunity to disabled students, has evolved into a complex and unworkable system of rewards.
