Extractions: Journal of Staff Development , Summer 1996 (Vol. 17, No. 3) To create inclusive schools, all staff members will have to change the way they view the world of education, including changing paradigms of teaching and learning, teacher support, and staff development practices. "When you see the social aspects at this level, I can't imagine going back to self-contained classes." Janet Healey, Principal School districts are changing their views about educating children with disabilities. Instead of isolated classes, schools are moving toward more inclusive classes for all children. This movement toward "inclusive" classrooms has stirred much debate and polarization in special education. Some parents think that "inclusion is the best thing that has happened for my child"; others call it "an inadequate answer" to solving problems in education. Further, some educators, although sympathetic to many of the problems that disabled students face, are not embracing inclusion as the answer. To adequately address the issues surrounding the inclusive schools movement, let's consider the meaning of inclusion, features of successful inclusive schools, and the professional development that is required to create these schools.

Extractions: 10 ways to tell A school culture that invites deep and sustained professional learning will have a powerful impact on student achievement. By Ron Brandt Journal of Staff Development , Winter 2003 (Vol. 24, No. 1) Reprinted by permission from Powerful Learning Leaders of schools, like leaders of businesses and hospitals, want their organizations to be flexible and responsive, able to change in accord with changing circumstances. Individuals learn best when the content is meaningful to them and they have opportunities for social interaction and the environment supports the learning. That idea applies to organizations as well. To check whether a school is functioning as a learning organization, its staff members and others need to consider this list of characteristics not as a checklist but as elements of the whole. 1. Learning organizations have an incentive structure that encourages adaptive behavior. Just as individuals learn when they are motivated to learn, organizations learn when they have a reason. The incentives to learn may be material or psychological, but one form of incentive that everyone understands is money. Incentives exist at all levels of an organization. Financial incentives may be individual or organizational. Stephen Fink, assistant superintendent, wrote in 1992 that the Edmonds, Wash., school district had paid attention to incentives when it reorganized its categorical programs. "The Edmonds district was an organization engaged in 'learning' new behaviors. To do so, it needed a set of incentives consistent with the new direction," Fink wrote.

Dorta, Vermont-NEA President As described in last month's Vermont-NEA Today, Education Week's recent "Quality Counts 2000: Who Should Teach?" report discovered a "salary gap" that mirrored an analysis of Vermont teacher salaries commissioned by Vermont-NEA last summer and publicized at the start of this school year. "While the prosperity train raced across the nation in the latter half of the 1990s, teachers have been left at the station," concludes Education Week. "From 1994-1998, salaries for bachelor's degree holders outside of education have increased 17%, or $6,808, after adjusting for inflation. And the average salary for people with master's degrees in non-teaching fields increased 32% over inflation, or $17,505. The average inflation-adjusted salary for teachers with either degree increased less than one percent over the same period. "
