MSTA in the 1960's and 1970's MSTA in the 1980's and 1990's The 21st Century Epilogue Past Conference Themes Past Presidents Three major issues needed to be addressed to bring about the desired reform: 1. Establish support systems at the local, regional and state level to provide the impetus for change; 2. Provide professional development opportunities for administrators, reassigned teachers and qualified teachers in need of periodic updating; and 3. Address curriculum and instructional needs to ensure quality and equity in science programs for students of all backgrounds and learning styles. MSTA leadership was actively involved in the development of this plan, designed to guide much of the development of science reform and dovetailed nicely with the Nation of Risk Report , released in 1983.

Extractions: The following is an introduction to some of the treatment approaches available for individuals with autism. While typically used for children under 3, these approaches may be included in an educational program for older children. Remember, this is not an exhaustive list; its purpose is to provide a general overview of available approaches, not specific treatment recommendations. Keep in mind that the word "treatment" is used in a very limited sense. Meeting the challenges of autism can be better described as education rather than treatment. And the term "education" is used broadly to include life skills, as well as traditional academic learning. It is important to match your child's needs and potential with treatments or strategies that are likely to be effective in moving him or her closer to normal functioning. We do not want to give the impression that you will select one item from a list of available treatments. Move forward in your search for appropriate treatment knowing that you do not have to exclude other options, and that all treatment approaches are not equal. The basis for choosing any treatment plan should be a thorough evaluation of the strengths and weaknesses observed in the child.

If your state has a State Register, announcements for Requests for Proposal are published on a weekly basis (in Texas).

Extractions: Charter schoolspublic schools that are exempt from many of the procedural regulations that apply to regular public schoolsare a widespread but poorly-studied form of education reform. With nearly 2,700 charter schools now educating more than 684,000 children nationwide, policymakers and parents need to know how the education charter schools provide compares to that provided by regular public schools. Assessing the academic performance of charter schools is difficult, because many charter schools are targeted toward specific populations such as at-risk students, disabled students, and juvenile delinquents. This makes it very challenging for researchers to draw a fair comparisoncomparing targeted charter schools to regular public schools is like comparing apples and zebras. As a result, there are very few reliable research findings on the academic quality of charter schools as compared to regular public schools.
