Extractions: Regents Commissioner RI Education Policy Teachers ... eRIDE Logon Teacher Certification, Preparation and Professional Development Comprehensive Redesign of the R.I. Teacher Certification System On behalf of the citizens of the State of Rhode Island, the Department of Education has a compelling interest in assuring and supporting quality teaching for all PK-12 students in our schools. Staff in the Office of Teacher Preparation, Certification, and Professional Development is working to create a seamless licensure system, based on Professional Teaching Standards, that defines teaching in Rhode Island. To that end, we are committed to approving educator preparation programs that assess candidate performance to standards, the recertification of educators through the completion of Individual Professional Development Plans (I-Plans), and providing on-going high quality professional development for all Rhode Island educators. These systems provide the Department of Education with a framework for reaching its goal to ensure a high quality education for all Rhode Island students. In 1996 the Board of Regents for Elementary and Secondary Education adopted a Comprehensive Education Strategy as its blueprint for education in Rhode Island. Since that date, the Department of Education has been engaged in on-going and systematic education reform efforts. The Comprehensive Education Strategy charts a course to raise student achievement levels and holds schools and communities accountable in achieving that goal. All PK-12 learners must have equal access to high quality programs in order that all students achieve at high levels needed to lead fulfilling and productive lives, to compete in academic and employment settings and to contribute to society.

Extractions: Educational Programs Inside Mental Illness is the NAMI Rhode Island education program specifically directed to young people. While other sources offer information about mental health in terms of stress management or violence prevention, Inside Mental Illness educates youth specifically about the major biologically based brain disorders. The content includes the most current information about symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment of mental illness and also very directly addresses the issue of stigma. The teaching team is composed of individuals living successfully with mental illness who are very personable and open about their experience. Inside Mental Illness is an interactive educational outreach program designed for eighth- and ninth-grade public school students but adaptable to any level. The content has been designed to reach young people at an age when they are capable of absorbing new information but their values and attitudes are still open to change. The course is divided into two forty-five minute segments, usually one week apart; meeting the teachers once and greeting them as friends for the second class establishes a bond important to the emotional impact of the stigma segment. NAMI-RI's School Outreach Program has reached hundreds of individuals and every school district in Rhode Island. There are two basic presentations: one focused on the staff needs of elementary school age children, and the other for those concerned with middle and high school students. Both presentations are accredited by the state department of education for professional development credit. The presentation team includes the Assistant Director of NAMI-RI, an education professional who is also a parent, and a young adult who reflects on the experience of growing up with a mental illness. A twenty-five-page packet of information and resources is distributed to each participant.

The RIFLI program is a free, first step language and literacy program for adults and their children based in five public library systems throughout Rhode Island. RIFLI values and builds upon the diverse cultures of participating families and seeks to establish a positive basis for continued educational growth. RIFLI serves about 700 beginner to low-intermediate Adult ESOL students a year and refers more advanced students to other programs. The program serves around 300 children between the ages of 3 and 14. The RIFLI collaborative began as a dialogue between library staff based on shared goals, and values. The program was implemented as a direct response to the needs of the growing immigrant community in Rhode Island. In the 1980's, the Providence Public Library began receiving many requests from recent immigrants to America for ESOL services. The library responded by implementing a family literacy program based on the Ruth Handel and Marianne Goldsmith's Family Literacy Model, (
