By eliminating the testing requirement, North Carolina will join a large number of other states who are relaxing their certification standards in order to satisfy the requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act, which demands fully licensed teachers in every classroom. While some people, like North Carolina Governor Mike Easley and his predecessor Jim Hunt, view the dropping of the testing requirement as a lowering of teacher quality standards, others, such as assistant superintendent for human resources with Johnston County schools Joyce Wade, see the measure as a means to rid the state of a barrier keeping North Carolina from getting the best candidates into the classroom. The North Carolina state board is reviewing other criteria, such as experience and subject-area preparation, as a way to ensure high quality instruction.

Another dozen like-minded families live very close-by to Earthaven Some school-age Earthaven children attend local public or alternative schools, but most participate two to three days a week in our Forest Children Program, an on-site homeschool enrichment program. Some children living near Earthaven also attend, so currently the program has around 12 kids, ranging from four to nine years old. The program is held in Earthaven's Council Hall; however, our long-term plan to is build a separate building for a Village School, and to include education for teenagers as well. What is it like to for families and children at Earthaven? In some ways, it's an ideal place to raise children; however, there definitely are challenges. Given that we're still in the process of developing our physical infrastructure, many families are in less comfortable living conditions than they may be accustomed to elsewhere. And there are a lot of demands on parents' time and energy at Earthaven, since they share in the work of co-creating this village. Yet, we live in a beautiful mountain forest with clean air and water and a wholesome, safe environment. Our children are surrounded by streams, waterfalls, frogs, and woodland creatures; lots of friends; and dozens of adults to befriend and mentor them. Kids love it here! While most community meetings are adult-oriented, the children are an integral part of our community meals, Saturday Coffeehouse evenings at the White Owl, plays and entertainments, celebrations, workdays, and other community events. For those families who are called to take up this work and share this way of life, both parents and children thrive!

    Extractions: Susan Delaney has been trying for more than a decade to get the state to license her profession. A graduate of one of the nation's few accredited schools for naturopaths, Delaney has been working to convince lawmakers that licensing is needed to elevate standards and protect the public from untrained practitioners of her branch of "alternative medicine." January 26, 2005 While public demand for alternative therapies is growing (studies show more than one-third of American adults are using them to the tune of $40 billion annually), regulation of the field has been spotty. In North Carolina, massage therapists, acupuncturists and chiropractors are currently the only non-traditional healers who are recognized by law. Photo By Lissa Gotwals

    Extractions: Alternative Learning Annotated Bibliography Annotated Bibliography - Article 8 Title Reinventing the Alternative School: From Juvenile Detention to Academic Alternative Author: Leslie King, Megan Silvey, Rick Holliday, and Bill J. Johnston Source: The High School Journal, April-May 1998, Volume 81, Number 4, p. 229-243 The purpose of this report is to describe the transformation of a "last chance" alternative school, Lakeside School, located in southeastern North Carolina. During the 1995-96 school year, Lakeside changed its mission from a last-chance type detention center to an innovative academic alternative setting that serves socially and academically at-risk students. The reason for this change in focus at Lakeside was that the effectiveness of the detention center approach was minimal; instead, Lakeside was serving as a "dumping ground" for discipline problems and juvenile offenders. The academic effectiveness of the school was as were graduation and promotion rates, and the recidivism rate was high. The restructuring plan at Lakeside included: (a) limiting admission to secondary students and changing the name to Lakeside High School; (b) adopting a student admissions policy which prohibited assignment based primarily on behavioral factors; and (c) approving an academically focused program grounded in a philosophy of student assistance. The student assistance program includes a 4-day instructional week, 3x3 block scheduling, regular Friday staff meetings (which include interagency collaboration among social services agencies), and emphasis upon student learning styles to guide instructional planning.

    Extractions: Search Rethinking Schools Help Home Archives Volume 17 No. 2- Winter 2002/2003 'McDonald's or IBM' -photo: Jean-Claude Lejeune Winter 2002/2003 By Damien Jackson For most students, eighth grade is an awkward and uncertain time when hormones and peer pressure collide. But new policies in North Carolina are forcing eighth graders to make decisions that will shape the rest of their lives. While North Carolina represents the cutting and often brutal edge of education reform, the nation is not far behind. Over the past five years, a substantial and growing number of states have increased credit requirements for high school graduation while further segmenting curricular offerings. Along with the phased institution of exit exams and other secondary assessments by a majority of states, many - like South Carolina and Georgia - have dropped their general tracks in favor of a differentiated approach where students pursue a university, college tech, or career prep course of study. "It's going to have a big impact on our kids," says Loretha Peacock, a guidance counselor at Mary Phillips High School in Raleigh, N.C. Guidance counselors are primarily responsible for informing parents, students, and other administrators of ongoing changes to the state's high school graduation policy. Eighth grade, adds Peacock, "is too young for students to make such decisions."
