Aligning Special Education Individualized Education Plans With District Curriculum And Learning Results, Martha G. Corkery

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

Instructional practice at Bonny Eagle Middle School in Buxton, Maine, did not fully integrate IEP goals with curriculum and Maine Learning Results developed by the Maine Department of Education in 1997. Students with disabilities were prohibited from optimal learning experiences. In this study, the relationship between a sample group of students, language arts individual education plan goals, and curricular standards were attempted to be strengthened through enhanced instructional methodologies and assessments. The intended results of this study were to impact these students' levels of classroom involvement in addition to building collaboration among special and regular education teachers. Teachers' philosophies about …

Positive Attitudes Lead to Success: An Intervention Program for Elementary Discipline-Challenged Male Students

This dissertation describes the Positive Attitudes Lead to Success Club (PALS), a program designed to help 20 5th-grade male students in an elementary school of 760 students improve their behavior and achieve academic success. An analysis of the Discipline Report data for the last 3 years reveals that Campostella Elementary (CES) has had an unacceptable amount of referrals by the standards set forth by Norfolk Public Schools (NPS) for unacceptable behavior. These 20 students have received 80% of all referrals for the past school year. Such information …

Improving Teachers’ Ability To Create A Student-Centered Approach To Learning In Grade 7 Classes, Fredricka Fairclough

Abraham S. Fischler College of Education ETD Archive

This dissertation was designed to provide better understanding of the student centered approach to learning and to assist teachers in operationalizing different approaches across the disciplines thereby overcoming the difficulties they previously encountered. The 15 Grade 7 teachers were not previously trained to use the student centered approach to learning. They were challenged in the various classes because the new curriculum is student centered. As a result, they found it difficult to identify creative ways to design dynamic learning environments that involve students in doing and thinking.

The writer developed a plan that provided not only training but also support …

Transcriptional Interference By Independently Regulated Genes Occurs In Any Relative Arrangement Of The Genes And Is Influenced By Chromosomal Integration Position, Susan K. Eszterhas, Eric E. Bouhassira, David I. K. Martin, Steven Fiering

Dartmouth Scholarship

Transcriptional interference is the influence, generally suppressive, of one active transcriptional unit on another unit linked in cis. Its wide occurrence in experimental systems suggests that it may also influence transcription in many loci, but little is known about its precise nature or underlying mechanisms. Here we report a study of the interaction of two nearly identical transcription units juxtaposed in various arrangements. Each reporter gene in the constructs has its own promoter and enhancer and a strong polyadenylation signal. We used recombinase-mediated cassette exchange (RMCE) to insert the constructs into previously tagged genomic sites in cultured cells. This …

Disability, Doctors And Dollars: Distinguishing The Three Faces Of Reasonable Accommodation, Elizabeth Pendo

All Faculty Scholarship

Despite a decade of litigation, there is no consistent understanding of the reasonable accommodation requirement of Title I of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the 'ADA'). Indeed, there are three inconsistent distributive outcomes that appear to comport with the reasonable accommodation requirement: cost-shifting, cost-sharing, and cost-avoidance.

One reason for such inconsistent outcomes is a failure to develop a coherent and consistent theory of disability. Because disability has been and continues to be medicalized, this Article takes a fresh look at the medical literature on health, illness, and disability. It recommends the use of the experiential health model over …
