"We, as a nation, are doing a very good job of squandering human potential and making life harder for all Americans as a result. This has to stop. If our government, at the local, state, and federal level, does not start investing in education systems that reach children before kindergarten, and if it does not get serious about providing children with high-quality instruction throughout the earliest years of their schooling, it is wasting taxpayer dollars, ignoring decades of research and... - 1/1/06 - Fagan, T.

"Recent prevalence rates for autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are now estimated at about 1 in 110 children in the U.S. Increases in public awareness and research funding in response to the growing numbers of children and adults with this disorder have led to numerous important scientific advances over the last several years.

Appropriate... - Thurlow, M., Durán, R., Kato, K., Albus, D.

This presentation discusses equity within EIS and RTI and importance of inclusive schools - 1/1/10 - Erica Frankenberg, Genevieve Siegel-Hawley, Jia Wang
"The theory of charters is that they can offer something unique because they are autonomous and can be creative in offering distinctive and excellent educational programs. It is very strange that the Obama Administration has not embraced a larger and older movement, the magnet school movement, which already does this and has a much better civil rights stance. Pilot schools that operate with great autonomy but stay within public school systems have also had considerable success in Boston and...
