We will also be following the progress of six schools and one school district with projects under the leadership of Mark Anderson and Kathy Bartlett, Washington State Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction . These are new demonstration sites set up to improve the achievement of special education students in the general education curriculum. We will be posting descriptions of specific strategies that all of these projects are implementing to bring about positive change along with on-going progress reports. In Washington State, the annual conference on new standards and assessment sponsored by Seattle Pacific University, the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, New Horizons for Learning, and other major educational organizations will be coming up again on September 22-24. Outstanding keynoters and workshop presenters will again offer practical resources that can be applied in classrooms at all levels.
Stories are also wonderful tools for learning.
