Home page For parents For educators Background information ... About Placing English language learners in a program of instruction By now you have determined that this student speaks a language other than English at home. You have information about the student's level of English proficiency, educational background, and academic content knowledge. Your next step is to come up with a plan for placing the English language learner (ELL) in an instructional program that meets his or her language and academic needs. What should you consider when placing ELLs? Just because a student is not proficient in English does not mean that he or she is incapable of thinking, learning the grade-level curriculum, and mastering content areas. ELLs who are beginning English speakers may arrive in your class with an equal or even above grade-level background from their first language. When placing ELLs, educators must consider a variety of factors. Here are a few questions to ask: How much previous education does this student have in the U.S. and/or home country? What are his or her language and literacy proficiency levels in English and in the first language?

Resident Business City Government Cityscape ... Community Housing Emergency Management Introduction Hazard Assessment Emergency Planning Disaster Supply Kits ... Emergency Management Emergency Planning Immediately after an emergency, essential services may be cut off and local disaster relief and government responders may not be able to reach you right away. Even if they could reach you, knowing what to do to protect yourself and your household is essential. Creating a disaster plan One of the most important steps you can take in preparing for emergencies is to develop a household disaster plan. Refer to the Hazard Threat table to learn about the hazards that could occur in Westminster. Contact the Westminster emergency management coordinator or American Red Cross chapter to learn whether hazardous materials are produced, stored or transported near your area. Learn how to prepare for each potential emergency and how to respond. Talk with employers and school officials about their emergency response plans. Talk with your household about potential emergencies and how to respond to each. Talk about what you would need to do in an evacuation. Plan how your household would stay in contact if you were separated. Identify two meeting places: the first should be near your home-in case of fire, perhaps a tree or a telephone pole; the second should be away from your neighborhood in case you cannot return home.

Return: Home CEEP Publications ERIC/EECE Publications Digests Inclusion in Middle Schools PDF version Rebecca A. Hines EDO-PS-01-13 December 2001 Overview The rationale for inclusion has never rested on research findings, but on principle. Proponents insist that the integration of students with disabilities is inherently right, compared often to the same right to racial integration. The generally accepted concept of inclusion is that students with disabilities attend classes with their general education peers with direct support from special educators. According to Halvorsen and Neary ), inclusion differs from mainstreaming in that students are members of only the general education class and do not belong to any other specialized environment based on their disability. This notion is supported by middle schools using the true middle school model. In these schools, students with disabilities are members of the classroom as their first association, not members of a special education population. Middle schools also lend themselves to inclusive practices because the co-teaching model (common in middle schools) is more successfully implemented where interdisciplinary teaching teams share planning.

Baesman, Esq. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) Prior to 1975, school age children with disabilities were excluded from appropriate educational services in public school systems throughout the nation. The rule was institutionalization and exclusion from public schools. The exception was the provision of special education services in segregated school facilities. Advocates for children with disabilities struggled to obtain equal and appropriate educational services for persons with disabilities by confronting public school districts with the constitutional rights of people with disabilities first in 1971 in Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania

95. Disability Law Jewish Developmental Mental Health Special Master Southbury Train Disabilities Act (ADA) and Rehabilitation Act against prison, claiming he was denied access Federalism principles apply with special force re prisons. http://www.ferleger.com/adapri.html

ADA and Prisons These are selected cases on issue of applicability of Americans With Disabilities Act to prisons. Cases go both ways. First listed are those saying ADA does NOT apply, followed by those which say ADA DOES apply. This is not exhaustive list; it is intended to give a flavor for current caselaw. A case to watch is the 3d Cir.'s INMATES OF ALLEGHENY COUNTY in which, in September, 1996, a pro-ADA panel opinion was withdrawn when the 3d Cir ordered the case be reheard en banc. Cases holding ADA does NOT apply to prisons Cases holding ADA DOES apply to prisons ADA does not apply to prisons BRYANT v MADIGAN, 84 F.3d 246 (7th Cir. 1996). Paraplegic inmate sued prison employees under Eighth Amendment and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) for refusing request for guardrails for bed and denying him pain medication. HELD: No claim under ADA. QUOTE Court: Under ADA, re prisoners, "Even if such persons are protected, however, which we need not decide (for Congress may not have wanted to burden the states with the potentially enormous costs of making their prisons fully accessible to disabled visitors and employees), it would not necessarily follow that prisons or jails that offer educational or vocational programs for prisoners must redesign their programs to accommodate the needs of disabled prisoners. It is very far from clear that prisoners should be considered "qualified individual[s]" within the meaning of the Act. Could Congress really have intended disabled prisoners to be mainstreamed into an already highly restricted prison society?
