We are currently in the process of adding several new resources, as well as improving existing ones. Distance learning One of our latest additions is the OPENAccess21 project. This is OPEN's entry into the distance learning arena. OPENAccess21 is a statewide pilot distance-education project. Its purpose is to test the viability of two-way voice/video systems, both in K-12 classrooms and in education professional-development training programs. The project responds to a need to provide scarce educational resources to students and teachers no matter where they live and work so that they will be able to meet Oregon's rigorous academic standards.

Title: New Schools Exchange records 1968-1978 (inclusive) Quantity: 25 linear ft. Acknowledgements: Gift of the New Schools Exchange, 1978. Preferred Citation: New Schools Exchange Records. Manuscripts and Archives, Yale University Library. Summary: The records consist of publications, correspondence, writings, school directories, and other information documenting the New Schools Exchange specifically and the schools, individuals, and other organizations of the free school movement generally. The collection includes hundreds of files documenting individual schools in the United States, Canada, and abroad, as well as many ephemeral newsletters, journals, and other publications relating to alternative education. Biographical Overview: The New Schools Exchange (NSE) was formed at the First New Schools Conference in Menlo Park, California in March 1969. Led by Harvey Haber and located in Santa Barbara, California, NSE's mission was to provide a clearinghouse for resources and information relating to the free school movement. The Exchange collected information and published school directories and the New Schools Exchange Newsletter , a widely read publication within the alternative school network. Haber served as managing editor for the newsletter until the fall of 1971, when Kat Marin assumed these duties. In early 1973, Bill Harwood and Grace Dailey took on the bulk of NSE's duties and moved the organization to St. Paris, Ohio. In 1974, Harwood and Dailey moved the Exchange to Pettigrew, Arkansas where they integrated subsistence farming and communal living into the continuing educational work of the group. The New Schools Exchange published its final newsletter in 1978 and ceased operations due to financial shortcomings.

The Oregon Education Association was named Donor of the Year for 2001, and OEA President Kris Kain and Vice President Larry Wolf accepted the award on OEA’s behalf. In 1976, OEA established the James D. Carlson Memorial Scholarship Fund to assist Oregon residents who enroll in teacher education programs with a commitment to teach autistic children. The Carlson Scholarship is one of the oldest, continuously awarded scholarship programs administered by the Oregon Student Assistance Commission. In 2001, OEA established a second scholarship fund to encourage students to pursue teaching careers. The Oregon Education Association has a long history of working on behalf of education professionals in Oregon - in fact, OEA and its members have been leaders and supporters of education for Oregonians since before the Civil War. OEA's mission works to assure quality public education for every student in Oregon by providing a strong, positive voice for school employees. OEA has five goals for assuring quality public education: to promote educational excellence for all students and be a leader in establishing and evaluating decisions on education issues; to build support for public education and education employees; to secure and expand personal, professional, legal and human rights for all school employees; to help members achieve professional excellence and meet the demands and stresses of their jobs; and to pursue organizational excellence, including systematic communications with members and involvement of members in decision-making.

The term "pesticide" includes insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, and rodenticides. Selection of Pest Control Methods. Non-chemical or alternative pest control methods should be used where possible, such as mechanical controls (mulching, edging turf, mowing, hand weeding). If insecticides or herbicides are to be used, the least toxic products should be selected. Choose products with the lowest percentage of active ingredient(s), and least odor possible. Your school district may have a policy specifying approved pest control methods and products.

AUDIENCE Screening and referral is appropriate for youth in any setting but may be particularly warranted for those in subgroups known to be at higher risk for suicide. These include: incarcerated youth, youth with history of juvenile justice and/or protective service involvement; American Indians; white males; depressed youth; substance abusers; high-striving, perfectionist youth; potential dropouts; runaways; gay and lesbian youth; victims of assault and/or abuse; and pregnant teens. Screening can identify which youth need assessment and care. RATIONALE AND EFFICACY Screening can identify youth with symptoms of depression, suicidal ideation, and behavior, thus providing a means to determine which of them are in need of further assessment and care. Screening using a three step process that reduces the number of false positives has been shown to be efficient and cost effective when used with both individual youth and large populations.

Skip directly to: Search Box Section Navigation Content Search: Wired News Animations Wired Magazine HotBot (the Web) A New 'Paige' For Education by Katie Dean Also by this reporter Page 1 of 2 next 02:00 AM Mar. 12, 2001 PT Monopoly used to conjure up images of play money, little plastic green houses and the silver thimble. In the Microsoft trial, the term became a dirty word synonymous with one of the world's most powerful companies. Now, U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige has used the word "monopoly" alongside "public education" to hammer home the president's idea that parents should choose how their children are educated. The statements have angered some educators while rallying others who favor expanded school options.

Choices This resource catalogue is about educational choice. We all learn differently and this catalogue is a testament to that fact. Included here are 16 distinct programs and schools. They are all publicly funded, non-profit organizations (distinct from public alternative schools). Some work through alternative education laws that were passed decades ago while others came into existence within the last few years with the passage of charter school legislation. Alternative schools are not just for those who do not succeed at public schools. All students can attend these programs. We are not exclusive to a certain population. We are here to serve and teach and learn with all students who are interested or have a need. The children participating in these programs are as diverse as the programs themselves. They include youth who do well in classrooms, youth who don't do well in an academic environment, home-schooled youth, youth who go to standard public schools part of the day, and youth referred from school districts. Many of these programs offer classes in subjects that no longer exist within much of the school system. Their focuses range from performing arts to organic farming to the democratic process. Many of them have a distinctively unique perspective on child development. These programs offer small class sizes with individualized attention and specialized instruction. They engage students in activities that deeply involve them in the world at large. The primary characteristic of these programs is that their teaching methods are often ?out of the box.? Many of these programs exist because they have a very high success rate working with youth unable to learn in the standard school environment. We feel that these private, non-profit programs will have an increasing role to play in public education in the future. As the 4J School District Assistant Superintendent has stated-we are the pioneers.

Alpine Valley School - Based on the Sudbury Valley School (see below), Alpine Valley is a place dedicated to freedom, respect and the joy of learning. Here, learning occurs as that magical state of being fully engaged and freely exploring your interests, gifts and talents. True freedom and responsibility emerge from trust and respect. Every student is a part of all school decisions and stands on equal footing with the staff and each other. Australian Correspondance School - "Established in 1979, ACS has educated thousands of full and part-time students, many of whom have gone onto successful employment, both in industry or in their own businesses. Others have used their courses to develop a hobby, or simply broaden their general education. We currently have over 2500 students enrolled from Australia and around the world."
