Extractions: LEGISLATIVE AGENDA 2004 - 2005 [Education] [Health Care] [Human Life] [Social Justice] The New Jersey Catholic Conference, composed of the Catholic Bishops of New Jersey, is one of the means by which the Bishops address matters of public policy. The Bishops receive recommendations concerning these issues from a Public Policy Committee comprised of members from each diocese and from the various areas of the Church's ministry, such as social services, education and health care. The Conference staff interacts with the state and federal governments, monitors matters of concern to the Catholic Church in New Jersey, and advocates for the Catholic Church's position in these matters. The Conference works with other religious entities as well as civic and private sector organizations on matters of concern to the general welfare of the state's citizens. Because a fundamental tenet of Catholic social teaching is that each human life is sacred, particular emphasis must be placed on the dignity and rights of the family and its members. This truth is the basic principle by which all of the actions of government must be judged. Therefore, we support those legislative and policy efforts which support and enhance life. Our special concern for those who are vulnerable because they are unborn, young, old, disabled, poor, hungry, homeless, or ill is rooted in the Scriptural message which calls us to speak on their behalf and to alleviate their pain, suffering, and anxiety by direct action.

Students with Disabilities Transition programs. Despite district policy that transportation would not be provided to students who chose vocational offerings, a district was required to transport a 17-year-old disabled student to a cosmetology course. The course was directly related to her transition plan employment goal, and therefore a part of FAPE for this student. Rochelle Township High School District , (39 IDELR 58, IL, 3/28/03 ). Choice of Transporter. Parents complained when a district changed carriers, alleging that their autistic child required consistency. The original transporter went out of business, and despite satisfactory performance of an interim carrier, a third transporter won the bid under public bidding laws. Where circumstances developed beyond the school district's control, the IEP recommendation for consistency could not become mandatory. The parents could not control their child's transportation service where law provides otherwise. South Orange-Maplewood BOE

Extractions: the limitations of school technology By Richard J. Coley Will the use of computers in classrooms fundamentally change how we educate children? And can educational technology lead to improved student achievement? Our review of the research on the effectiveness of educational technology at the Educational Testing Service (ETS) shows that rudimentary uses of computersusing drill-and-practice software, for instance, to teach addition and subtractioncan be effective and efficient. But more pedagogically complex uses of the computerusing the Internet in small groups to conduct collaborative research, for exampleoften show inconclusive results. It appears that the more complex and sophisticated the instructional design, the more difficult the evaluation. But sometimes these complex situations offer promising and inviting vignettes on the future of teaching and learning. Studies show computer-based instruction can individualize instruction and give instant feedback to students, even explaining the correct answer. The computer is infinitely patient and nonjudgmental, thus motivating students to continue. In a presentation to a recent RAND conference, researcher James Kulik summarized more than a decade's worth of work spent analyzing the effectiveness of computers used for instruction. A research approach called meta-analysis allowed him to aggregate the findings of more than 500 individual studies of computer-based instruction. The studies, conducted independently by research teams using different methods at eight research centers, focused on different uses of the computer with different populations. Kulik drew several conclusions from his work:

Extractions: document.write(""); Steve Johnson document.write(''); Reporter MSNBC HILLSDALE, N.J. - The challenge facing Catholic elementary schools can be reduced to one stunning fact: There are more nuns over 90 years old than under 50 years old. For decades, Catholic schools could pay their bills because they didn't have to pay the nuns who taught the classes, enforcing strict discipline and making up in devotion what they sometimes lacked in advanced educational degrees. But nuns and priests have largely disappeared from the classroom. "In 8,000 (Catholic) elementary and high schools, there are no more than 8,000 priests and nuns teaching," said Dr. James Youniss, a psychology professor at Catholic University in Washington who has spent years studying parochial schools. As Catholics have moved into the mainstream, family sizes have dropped, shrinking the pool of potential priests and nuns. "Years ago, if a family had six kids with maybe five boys, the father could say 'One of them goes to become a priest and I'll still have grandchildren,'" said Jim Goodness, a spokesman for the Newark, N.J., diocese. "You don't have that any more. Not everybody is as open to the idea of giving up having a family."

Delores T. Corona -- Private (Religious) School Vouchers She noted that in states like new jersey, teachers in public schools often The schools can say to parents, We dont want you youre disabled, http://www.americanatheist.org/conv25/m1-b.html
Extractions: DELORES T. CORONA was introduced. Since 1985, Ms. Corona has been Director of Government Relations for the New Jersey Educational Association. She is member of the National Association of Legislative and Political Specialists for Education, and the National Staff Association of Education Association. Her address focused on The Dangers of Private School Vouchers. Ms. Corona began by outlining some of the goals for her group, including higher academic standards, paying attention to the diverse needs of students, smaller classes and constant teacher upgrading. She noted that in states like New Jersey, teachers in public schools often encounter a diverse range of students; she added that smaller class size and parental involvement in education must be a key objective in education reform. Corona then discussed the private voucher experiment proposed by Jersey City Mayor Bert Schundler; thanks to public activism by teachers and public school supporters, however, the program was abandoned by the state legislature. Governor Christine Whitman, caving in to pressure from voucher supporters, then formed a special commission which recommended a voucher scheme. Corona noted that at the present time, there is little support for vouchers in either the House or the Senate of the state legislature.

As the author notes, telecommunications has the potential to significantly expand access to psychiatric care, especially in traditionally underserved areas and practice settings. Most psychiatrists still believe that when possible face-to-face assessment and treatment are optimal. But, most also believe that "telepsychiatry" would be acceptable when the alternative is no access to services at all.
