Goal 3. Transition: To increase the number of students with disabilities by 5% per year over the next five years who complete school and attain an adult life style of choice, including but not limited to employment and continuing education. The enabling strategies that were proposed included: Professional Development: To increase by 10% annually the number of qualified general education, special education, related services personnel, and paraprofessionals serving students with disabilities.

Successful School Conferences Here's a growing collection of resources about parent-teacher, parent-team, and student-led school conferences. Middle School Student-Led Conference Guide (PDF File) Kentucky's Prichard Committee for Academic Excellence has posted a guide to student-led conferences developed by Louisville's Conway Middle School and the Jefferson County Public Schools. This compact PDF version includes all the text and forms in the original but eliminates photos and other items that make for lengthy download times. Includes sections about goals; what parents, teachers and students need to know; typical questions and answers about the process; and forms, including a teacher evaluation checklist, a student self-evaluation, and much more. Student-Led Conferences: Tips for Educators How to Run Successful Parent-Team Conferences "Only by forming an alliance can parents and teachers effectively work together to help students negotiate the treacherous path through the middle school years," writes education professor and former middle grades teacher Howard M. Miller. "One potent tool for creating parent-teacher bonds at the middle level is the parent-team conference." ("Middle Matters" magazine, Fall 1998.) The Highs and Lows of Parent-Teacher Conferences This 1997 story profiles several parent-teacher conferences in Louisville KY, some more successful than others. A sidebar offers some

The Kentucky State Treasurer and The Bond Market Foundation Present: Español Welcome Introduction Women's Issues ... Feedback Women's Issues A lot of financial obstacles that may face you as a woman can affect how well you live and how you plan for your financial future. Did you know? Many women earn less than men. The national average for white females is about 74 cents to every dollar a white male earns. Black women's earnings were 85 percent of black men's and Hispanic women made 87 percent as much as Hispanic men ( US Department of Labor, Aug. 2001 In Kentucky, on average women earn 75.1% of what men earn. In Kentucky, 23.4% of all firms are women-owned ( US Census Bureau, 1997 Nationally, about half of all women work in traditionally female, relatively low paid jobs compared to men. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (2001), among women, those without a high school diploma earned $303 a week, compared with $760 a week for those with college degrees. Among men, school dropouts had earnings of $409 a week, compared with $1022 for college graduates. Do you have a pension? Nationally, fewer women have jobs with pension plans than do working men.

96. ERIC Digest 114 - Building Support For Multiage Education How Can Parents and the Community Be Involved in Multiage education? From Dilemma to Opportunity A Report on education Reform in kentucky, http://eric.uoregon.edu/publications/digests/digest114.html

Clearinghouse on Educational Policy and Management Previous (Digest 113) Next (Digest 115) ERIC Digest 114 July 1997 Building Support for Multiage Education By Joan Gaustad Multiage education involves placing children of different ages, abilities, and emotional maturity in the same classroom. Students are frequently regrouped for different learning activities rather than being consistently segregated by chronological age, and they often remain with the same teacher or teaching team for more than one year. Many different labels have been applied to such classes, including family grouping, blends, nongraded, and multiage continuous progress. Research indicates that heterogeneous grouping promotes cognitive and social growth, reduces antisocial behavior, and facilitates the use of research-based developmentally appropriate instructional practices such as active learning and integrated curriculum. The wider range of ages and abilities in a multiage classroom discourages misleading age-graded expectations and helps teachers focus on students' individual learning needs. Why Is Parent and Community Support Important?
