I think many people have answered your questions.  Actually, there has been several messages about EH if EH means Emotionally Handicapped.  This is also BD or Behavior Disordered, or ED ..Emotional Disturbance, ADD or ADHD..Attention Deficit Disorder has some of the similar needs.  Keep watching this conference for more information.  We need lots of participation to build this into an interesting area.
    Ain't "alphabet soup" wonderful?  I bet we could get a wild variety of letter combinations for different disabilities.

Ted,
     I hope that you get this message as it has been quite some time since you posted the one that I'm responding to . I teach in a small
program for the hearing impaired in Billings, MT.  We have 4 interpreters on staff who are just beginning to go online.  One issue which we would like to discuss is that of interpreter training and evaluation.  Here, due to low hourly wages and next to no in state
training opportunities, we have a difficult time employing and keeping
interpreters with high levels of signing competencies.  Our staff of interpreters, nonetheless, are a dedicated group of interpreters who are creating their own opportunities for additional training - through contact with local groups (SHHHH, informal deaf adult coffee clubs..), videotapes, telecommunication courses, peer tutoring, ....
We are interested in finding out if any of the training centers offer materials to assist interpreters in isolated locations and also what do other interpreters in similar situations do.  Secondly, beyond NRID certification evaluation, what other formal interpreter evaluations exist - esp. any that we could use here in our self-help program.  We are attempting to give more structure to this aspect of our program.  Hopefully, in time, we can successfully seek greater recognition of the skills and contributi
ons of our interpreters. Any information you can share on job descriptions and approaches for improved PR as well as training and evaluation will be much appreciate
                                  Meg

Edward,
     If you are still monitoring this conference, I'd be very much
interested in making contact with other teachers of the hearing impaired.  Although I am teaching in a resource room in a public school resource room, I expect that there will still be many areas of concern that I share in common with teachers employed in a residential program.  Obviously one thing I am missing is the opportunity to chat with others in my field.  Now that I have gone online, maybe this will no longer be a problem.

Well I am not part of Internet, but I live close to NY, NY.  The New
York Public Library has a Music, Dance and Theater branch library
located in Lincoln Center.  I would try calling there.  If they don't
have what your are looking for, they might know where you could look.  I
used this library extensively while completing my masters thesis in
music.

Good luck!

Well, a CD was [is being] produced of our end of year concert. I'm not sure if it's available yet. (I've finished school for the year). You can even hear me play a fairly "interesting" euphonium solo on it.. (I call recitative on the euphonium interesting, wouldn't you agree? :-)

This is normally accomplished in school settings by means of Carrier Current
switchgear connections.  The signal is conducted over AC power lines through
isolated coupling.  The fact that AC power lines spiderweb all buildings,
coming close to any possible location of a radio receiver, makes them an
attractive and economical antenna system.

There are two companies, both of which are located in Pennsylvania, that
make and install carrier current equipment.  I can find the names if anyone
is seriously interested.

     Since Internet is tied into so many Universities, I was hoping I could
get some help on a project I am working on (I do not have access to the
Internet).

     I have been doing an arrangement for concert band of a film score by
Miklos Rozsa from "Ivanhoe". I am doing this by ear from a CD recording
of an "Overture" from the film. The arrangement is coming along well, but
very slowly.

     For years, I have tried to find a source for printed scores of film
music, but have always come up short. I would think that some Universities
would have access to these materials in their libraries.

     I am asking anyone who has knowledge of Internet to find an appropriate
newsgroup to post a message inquiring for a source of film scores. It doesn't
have to be Rozsa specifically, but that would be great also. If I had access

Subject: Transition Rules for Sp.Ed.
Date: Mon, 14 Dec 92 19:23:20 PDT
Organization: FidoNet node 1:3400/17 - MET NET BBS, Helena MT

Final Regulations for Part B of IDEA were published Sept. 29, 1992.
     The following is information on significant changes in
Transition regulations which you may find helpful:

*** Participants on the Transition IEP Team:   The requirements
have been strengthened to make it clear that the STUDENT and PARENT
MUST be invited and efforts must be made to ensure their
participation.
***Participation of Outside Agencies:  The new regulations indicate
that a representative of any agency that is likely to be
responsible for providing or paying for transition services must be
invited to the IEP meeting.  School Districts cannot force agency
participation, but there is increased accountability for agencies
to provide transition services whether they attend or not.
***School Responsibility When Services Are Not Provided:  This
section further clarifies that if a participating agency does not
provide agreed upon services, then the school must schedule another
IEP meeting "as soon as possible" and revise the student's IEP "if
necessary."
***Content of the Transition IEP: This was revised to sepcify that
the statement of needed transition services in the IEP must include
the three areas as listed in the definition of transition
services...unless the IEP team determines that services are not
needed in one or more of the areas.  These areas include:
     1.  Instruction
     2.  Community-based experiences
     3.  Employment and Daily Living Skills
If the IEP team does not believe the student needs services in all
of the three areas, then there must be a statement to that effect
on the IEP that includes the basis on which this determination was
made.
***Transition for ALL Identified Students 16 and older:  The law
specifically requires transition planning for students with
disabilities (all disabling conditions whether mild or severe) who
are 16 or older.
***Transition for Students Under Age 16:  The law suggests that
transition planning may begin sooner than age 16.  A footnote makes
it clear that Congress intended for students below the age of 16 to
get transition services if they need them.  A Statement of Concern
is expressed that age 16 may well be too late for students at risk
of dropping out of school.

Hello Sharon,

I think that perhaps you missed the reply to this message.
Is it possible that you have been on holiday during the time these messages were posted and people in the States did not pick them up or that our messages from this end of the earth simply fell off the edge of the world.

We did reply and would love to continue to develop a link.
We finish school on December the 18th for this year and recommence the school year on February 1st 1993. However any messages you send will be picked up as our system does this automatically and I will be coming into school from time to time during the holiday period.

Do have a very Happy Christmas and a great start to the New Year.
Regards Ann

Hi Chris,
 
It is great to hear about your space simulation project.  The students 
and Staff at Taft Middle School in Lincoln City Oregon also created 
a Space Shuttle Simulation to celebrate 1992, International Space 
Year.
 
We constructed a space shuttle simulator based on NASAs Space 
Transportation System.  The heart of our simulation was one computer 
and a video cassette recorder.  We synchronized at shuttle tracking 
program (available free from NASA) with video footage from the shuttle 
which corresponds with the position of the shuttle.  This "program" 
was run from launch through orbiter re-entry.
 
While in flight, students preformed health and science experiments, 
prepared food, and communicated with mission control via AM and FM 
transcievers.  At the end of the flight, the flight commander and 
pilot brought the shuttle down using a modified version of Microsoft 
flight and landed at Kennedy Space Center in Florida.  The computer 
simulation used actual scenery from the landing area.
 
The project was very successful and is now being duplicated around 
the country and in Canada, Australia, and England.  If you would like 
more information, feel free to contact me via this BBS.
 
We put over 500 students through our program last year and had a lot 
of fun.  Good luck with yours.
 
Joe Novello
 
PS.  The actual cost of the program was $400.
