Extractions: It is the position of the National Association of School Nurses that school nurses should be designated and recognized as first responders to mass casualty emergencies, including those resulting from bioterrorist events. School nurses should be trained in protection, detection, and treatment of victims of such events and in the command and control management techniques of the logistics of such a situation. The strategic position of well-prepared nurses within the school environment has significant potential for minimizing the effects of a bioterrorist attack in school settings and, subsequently, in the community at large 3p.

Extractions: COOL TEACHING LESSONS AND UNITS ALONG WITH RESOURCES FOR TEACHERS AND STUDENTS Short Cuts: WEBQUEST UNITS RESEARCH MODULES ONLINE PROJECTS READY MADE UNITS ... STUDENT RESOURCES Some personal notes about this web page: It is designed as a resource for teachers K-12 who wish to find quality ready-made units and lessons for all subjects, or who wish to develop their own units. This page emphasizes engaged learning models such as WebQuests, Research Modules and Project-Based Learning, but links include other forms of lessons and tutorials. Included also are sites to help you build your own units as well as some examples of sources to help students do research. Some of these units depend on the ability of students to do interactive work with others using technology. However, even if you have one or no computer in your classroom, most of the units linked at this site can be of much help. They are great learning experiences not only because of technology, but because they also involve students in activities that challenge them to solve problems by doing quality research, analyzing information, synthesizing possibilities, making judgments and then creating interesting products in order to communicate their results. Technology can be used as tools in making these exciting learning experiences even deeper, richer and more motivating.

Extractions: II. A SUMMARY OVERVIEW National Origin Minorities and Civil Rights The evolution of Federal protection of the educational rights of language-minority students is traced in the following pages from the enactment of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the first steps of the then-Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) to ensure local school district compliance through its Office for Civil Rights (OCR). Enforcement of Title VI was also sought by parents of national origin minority students who applied to the Federal Courts for relief from school districts' practices which deprived their children of equal educational benefits. One such suit, brought by parents of Chinese ancestry against the San Francisco School Board, reached the U.S. Supreme Court in 1974 as Lau v. Nichols. The Court's unanimous decision in Lau established two very significant points: (1) Equality of educational opportunity is not achieved by merely providing all students with "the same facilities, textbooks, teachers, and curriculum; for students who do not understand English are effectively foreclosed from any meaningful education." (2) The Office for Civil Rights has the authority to establish regulations for Title VI enforcement which, among other things, prohibit "discrimination...which has that effect even though no purposeful design is present..."

Extractions: Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education (SPeNSE) The Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education (SPeNSE) was designed to address concerns about nationwide shortages in the number of personnel serving students with disabilities and the need for improvement in the qualifications of those employed. Part of a national assessment of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act mandated by Congress, SPeNSE examined (1) the extent to which personnel are adequately prepared to serve students with disabilities, (2) variation in personnel preparation, and (3) factors that explain that variation. SPeNSE included personnel from a nationally representative sample of districts, intermediate education agencies, and state schools for students with vision and hearing impairments. Over 8000 local administrators, preschool teachers, general and special education teachers, speech-language pathologists, and paraprofessionals participated in telephone interviews during the 1999-2000 school year. SPeNSE provides information on the quality of the workforce nationally, within each geographic region, and within and across personnel categories. In addition, researchers are using this information to explain the quality of the workforce based on state and local policies, preservice education, continuing professional development, and working conditions.

Extractions: In 1999 the National Academy of Science Institute of Medicine (IOM) issued a report entitled, "To Err is Human: Building a Safer Health System." This document was well-publicized and related how medical errors result in deaths of thousands of Americans every year. Because there was an immediate need for reform, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) issued standards for resolving medical errors in accredited facilities. The impact of medical errors on patient safety, quality of care, and the healthcare delivery system is addressed in this self study unit. The workplace environment and professional practices as they relate to medical errors is also examined. Strategies to resolve medical errors through the standards set forth by JCAHO are also discussed. This continuing education self study material is ideal for all laboratory professionals to have an increased understanding of this initiative and to determine systematic strategies and guidelines to prevent, reduce, or eliminate medical errors. This unit is also useful for students in laboratory science programs as a resource.
