    Part B of the IDEA provides funds to state educational agencies (SEAs) and local educational agencies (LEAs) to help them ensure that children with disabilities, including children aged three through five, have access to a free appropriate public education to meet each child's unique needs and prepare him or her for further education, employment, and independent living. Part C of the IDEA provides funds to each state lead agency designated by the Governor to implement statewide systems of coordinated, comprehensive, multidisciplinary interagency programs and make early intervention services available to infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families.

    While the Stabilization Fund will help relieve our immediate economic crisis, it is also intended to boost student achievement, so to access this money, we seek your commitment to the following four essential areas of reform: * Making improvements in teacher effectiveness and ensuring that all schools have highly qualified teachers; * Making progress toward college and career-ready standards and rigorous assessments that will improve both teaching and learning; * Improving achievement in low-performing schools, by providing intensive support and effective interventions in schools that need them the most; * Gathering information to improve student learning, teacher performance, and college and career-readiness through enhanced data systems that track progress.

  • Establishing a system for identifying and training highly effective teachers to serve as instructional leaders in Title I school wide programs and modifying the school schedule to allow for collaboration among the instructional staff. Providing new opportunities for Title I school-wide programs for secondary school students to use high-quality, online coursework as supplemental learning materials for meeting mathematics and science requirements. Developing and expanding longitudinal data systems to drive continuous improvement efforts focused on increased achievement in Title I schools. Districts are also encouraged to consider using these funds to support and improve preschool and early childhood development programs which are an existing allowable use for Title I.
  • Obtain state-of-the art assistive technology devices and provide training in their use to enhance access to the general curriculum for students with disabilities, including online professional development, online student courses and learning opportunities, and electronic records management for student progress monitoring and data-based decisions for instruction/intervention. Provide intensive district-wide professional development for special education and regular education teachers that focuses on scaling-up, through replication, proven and innovative evidence-based school-wide strategies in reading, math, writing and science, and positive behavioral supports to improve outcomes for students with disabilities. Develop or expand the capacity to collect and use data to improve teaching and learning. Expand the availability and range of inclusive placement options for preschoolers with disabilities by developing the capacity of public and private preschool programs to serve these children. Hire transition coordinators to work with employers in the community to develop job placements for youths with disabilities.
  • . The ARRA SFSF funds provide an opportunity to jump start school reform and improvement efforts while also saving and creating jobs and stimulating the economy. California received $2.56 billion in SFSF for K-12 LEAs.

    The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) provides approximately $100 billion for education, creating a historic opportunity to save hundreds of thousands of jobs, support states and school districts, and advance reforms and improvements that will create long-lasting results for our students and our nation including early learning, K-12, and post-secondary education

  • Making progress toward rigorous college- and career-ready standards and assessments that are valid and reliable for all students, including English language learners and students with disabilities;
  • Establishing prekindergarten to college and career data systems that track progress and foster continuous improvement;
  • Making improvements in teacher effectiveness and in equitable distribution of qualified teachers for all students, particularly students who are most in need;
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • Providing intensive support and effective interventions for the lowest-performing schools.
  • First, every state should have a comprehensive data system that tracks student progress from one year to the next.
  • a class of test scores can tell whether a teacher is effective, and an entire state of test scores can tell whether a policy is working. When empirical data replace emotion as the basis for developing policy, America will be able to transform the quality of education into a world-class system of learning.
  • If a state needs educators to teach students who are gifted or disabled or learning to speak English, let's create the market that attracts their expertise.
  • A meaningful bump in pay -- $1,000 a month or more -- would provide an incentive for educators to teach tough subjects such as physics and trigonometry or to teach in schools with a high population of students living in poverty. Moreover, giving a bonus to teachers for every one of their students who pass an advanced placement test in science and math will create an incentive for success and generate American intellectual capital in critical fields. Third, low-performing schools must be fixed. It is morally wrong to consign students to schools that consistently fail to educate them. Let's help those schools be successful with whatever assistance it takes. Where schools don't improve, we believe parents should have the option of sending their children to public charter schools whose leadership has proved it can prepare students for the next grade and beyond.Finally, let's stop tinkering around the edges of reform and really revolutionize the way we deliver knowledge to students. Learning is no longer local, yet we still operate in a system ruled by traditional course work and antiquated textbooks. Our education system is an eight-track tape deck living in the high-speed digital age.
  • An online campus also would create an economic way to customize education for every child in America. Students wouldn't be limited by what was offered at their particular school. With the click of a mouse they could take Chinese at one virtual academy, geometry at another and 18th Century poetry at another. They could learn at their own pace, whether it is faster or slower than their peers.

    In a global economy where the most valuable skill you can sell is your knowledge, a good education is no longer just a pathway to opportunity- it is a pre-requisite. The countries that out-teach us today will out-compete us tomorrow.
