APPLESource Newsletter
Appleton shares its history with Lawrence University, for the two grew simultaneously. The close relationship established in the early years continues to exist. Fur traders seeking to do business with Fox River Valley Indians were the first settlers in Appleton. Hippolyte Grignon built the White Heron in 1835 to house his family and serve as an inn and trading post. With the financial backing of Amos Lawrence, the Lawrence Institute was chartered in 1847. Samuel Appleton donated $10,000 to the newly founded college library, and in appreciation, his name was given to the community. Appleton was incorporated first as a village in 1853 (John F. Johnston, the first resident, village president) and later as a city in 1857 (Amos Storey, Mayor). Among the 36 individuals who have served as the city's chief elected official, John Goodland, Jr. had the longest tenure, with 18 years in office. Dorothy Johnson, Appleton's first female mayor, was elected in 1980 and served for 12 years. Timothy M. Hanna is the current mayor. Education was, and continues to be, a priority in Appleton. In 1850, Daniel Huntley taught in the first free public school. The St. Mary Catholic Church opened the first parochial school in the community in 1864. The first 4 year high school began operating in 1876 in the Hercules School and Kindergarten was initiated in 1898 in Lincoln School. With population growth came the need for additional facilities. Today there are 24 public and 13 parochial schools.

Vocational Education in the Middle School. ERIC Digest No. 155.
Middle schools are designed to meet the developmental needs of early adolescents (ages 10-14). They are intended to provide general education focused on the concerns of this age group about themselves and the larger world, rather than specialization and concentration on separate subjects (Beane 1992). Young adolescents are undergoing rapid physical growth, moving from concrete to abstract thinking, forming a self-concept, and developing social skills ("Vocational Education in Middle Schools" 1990). At the same time, "most individuals significantly fashion their attitudes about learning, work and other enduring adult values during early adolescence" (Toepfer 1994, p. 61). Do young adolescents have a realistic view of the world of work and their potential place in it? What role should vocational education play in shaping this view and preparing middle schoolers for high school and for work in the 21st century? These questions are explored in this ERIC Digest.
EARLY ADOLESCENTS AND THE WORLD OF WORK
A crucial factor in the formation of vocational identity is self-esteem. McDonald and Jessell (1992) found that those seventh and eighth graders who believed a variety of careers were possible for themselves had high self-esteem, could assess complex career information, and were primarily female, of middle to high socioeconomic status, and from two-parent families. Although boys thought most jobs were appropriate for either sex, 75% were unwilling to make nontraditional choices for themselves (ibid.). Although females appear more open to nontraditional careers at this age, middle school girls begin to feel the effects of gender bias on their aspirations (Silverman and Pritchard 1994).

Special Education Dropouts. ERIC Digest #451.
POPULATION Recent state and local follow-up studies confirm this unexplainable attrition rate among students with handicaps. These studies also strongly suggest that the dropout rate among students receiving special education services significantly exceeds the dropout rate among the general school-age population. The St. Paul Public Schools conducted a retrospective examination of the records of 4,500 students in attendance between 1974 and 1977 who left school prior to graduation. They found that up to 80% of the youths who dropped out may have been eligible for special education services. Hippolitus (1980) cited the Bureau of Education for the Handicapped as documenting the dropout rate for special education students at five to six times the rate of youths without handicaps. IMPLICATIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS The implications of these findings have special significance for educational policy and practice. More systematic procedures for identifying potential dropouts and better follow-through in providing comprehensive programs that retain students with handicaps must be addressed.

Types of aid available
Listed below is information regarding the various types of aid available to students attending institutions of higher learning in Wisconsin. These forms of aid are available according to the particular characteristics of the various schools (some of these programs are limited to schools that are in a particular category or have specific programs). You will be able to get specific information about exactly what programs are available at a given school by reviewing the school's catalog or inquiring at the financial aid office. This list provides a good general overview of all major programs. The list excludes information on programs that are tied to specific curriculum (such as nursing or health professions) or to specific schools (such as institutional scholarships) direct contact with the school of your choice is your best bet for learning about these forms of assistance. Grants and Waivers: This "gift" assistance does not have to be repaid (unless the student withdraws or reduces credit load). FEDERAL PELL GRANT: Eligibility is determined by the U.S. Department of Education. The specific award amount depends upon credit load, residency, and whether the student lives on or off campus or with parents. If any of these factors change, an award adjustment may be necessary. The student receives a Student Aid Report (SAR) after applying (sent to the student directly from the U.S. Department of Education). The SAR can be used to make corrections to erronious data the corrected form can either be sent directly to the Federal Student Aid Program processor (address on form) or turned in to the financial fid office, where the student can be advised on the best method to use in making a correction. This grant is only for undergraduate students.

Defining Two-Year College Degrees:
UW Colleges Online Degree is growing in popularity as an option
Here are some points to consider as you explore Wisconsin community college degrees, Wisconsin vocational college degrees, Wisconsin trade/technical schools and other two-year college degrees. The University of Wisconsin Colleges difference is significant in many important ways, and the convenience of an online two-year degree means you can pursue your education on your terms. UW Colleges offer freshman- and sophomore-level university instruction, including a liberal arts-based general education Associate of Arts and Science degree, which is a foundation for most majors and a bachelor's degree. That makes our online degree an option for those who both plan to stop at a two-year degree, and also for those who plan to go on for a four-year degree. Contrast that with these types of degrees:

A. Administer a comprehensive program of state veterans benefits, which are provided to qualified Wisconsin military veterans under the Wisconsin Statutes. Major benefits include loan and grant programs, admittance to the Wisconsin Veterans Homes and interment at state veterans cemeteries.
B. The Department maintains continual contact with 72 county veterans services officers, and coordinates its efforts with various intergovernmental agencies and more than 20 statewide veterans organizations.
C. "Mission: Welcome Home" On September 20, 2004, Secretary Scocos announced a new initiative to create a "community of caring" and encourage citizens, especially those who are veterans themselves, to help integrate and reintegrate soldiers returning from Iraq and Afghanistan by providing information, welcome home materials, and a social support network. The initiative involves: the creation of an "Ambassador" program to link veterans with returning troops and their families; building relationships with Wisconsin Chambers of Commerce and businesses to provide welcome home baskets of anything from groceries to discounts on new cars; providing Recently Separated Veterans Program (RSVP) packets to servicemembers, informing them of veterans' benefits and services; and providing a new and improved department website allowing easier access to information and direct application to services available.

http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/envrnmnt/stw/sw500.htm
Critical Issue:
Providing Professional Development Activities for School-to-Work Initiatives
ISSUE: Successful school-to-work (STW) initiatives require academic and vocational staff who can integrate vocational and academic education, provide work-based learning opportunities in partnership with local businesses, and prepare all students for work or further education. These teachers, in turn, need professional development to gain a working understanding of the conceptual and practical applications of STW efforts. OVERVIEW: As STW initiatives move from the planning stages to full implementation across the nation, professional development will play an essential role. School leaders can use professional development programs to communicate a shared vision of STW reforms and provide access to the skills needed to support those reforms. All staff - from vocational and academic teachers to counselors and administrators - should have opportunities for professional development in the following areas:
