1. Pursuing Graduation: Differences in Work Experience Supports for Young SSI Recipients Pursuing Diplomas or Certificates

Author

Guillermo, Mari S., Tucker, Mark S., Corona, Vanessa, McFarlane, Fred R., and Jacobs, Ron

Abstract

Students with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) or Section 504 Plans may earn a diploma or a certificate of completion when leaving secondary education. This study examined differences in career- and work-based learning services and work experiences of students who earned a high school diploma or a certificate of completion upon exiting high school. Case service data of 969 students with disabilities were analyzed. Results suggested groups differed in the number and types of career- and work-based services, work experiences, post-high school expectations, and work-related concerns expressed by parents. Differences between groups were observed by types of career and work experiences. Significantly greater proportions of diploma-earners expressed expectations to work and attend college. Parents of both groups expressed concerns about their youth losing Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits and about their youths' safety and ability to work independently. Limitations and implications for research, policy, and practice are provided.

2. Family Kindergarten = Kinder para familias.

Author

Corona-Norca Unified School District, Corona, CA. and Curtin, Jolinda

Abstract

The Family Kindergarten program designed and pilot tested by a bilingual kindergarten teacher at Garretson Elementary School in Corona, California, is described. Based on the premise that parents are the most important and influential educators of children, Family Kindergarten was conceived as an evening class that includes parents and children working together. It is currently offered at five elementary schools in the school district, and positive results include increased volunteerism in the schools and parents who have become advocates for school reform. The program budget is reported, along with information on suppliers, announcements, parent letters, a calendar of events, reminders, and program letterhead. Five sections, which comprise the bulk of this report, are as follows: Session I (Kindergarten Homework); Session II (Reading with Your Child); Session III (Mathematics 1); Session IV (Language Development); and Session V (Mathematics 2 and Evaluation). Each section contains a lesson plan, agenda, and supplemental materials. Materials are in both English and Spanish. (LB)
