REGISTRATION FOR SPRING, 2002
        Hopefully, everybody knows about the procedures for
registering for the next semester and many of you already have. It is
prudent to register early during your time period.


HINT FOR REGISTERING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION PRACTICUMS IN SPRING
        If you are registering for EDP 459 of any type, register for
that class last and secure your other classes first. For some
configuration of majors, there may be a conflict BUT be assured that
you should then just show up for the EDP 459 on the first day (or
contact Dr. Ulrich before then) and you will be force added and
adjustments will be made to your schedule. Remember, get your other
classes first and and add EDP 459 (if, indeed, you are taking  EDP
459) last. If rejected then you will be force added. If not rejected,
then celebrate.


MIDDLE CHILDHOOD, MILD/MODERATE, AND MODERATE INTENSIVE METHODS
        Remember, if you are taking methods courses to make sure you
sign up for your special education methods AND regular education
methods. Remember this METHODS STRATEGY as well if you are planning
your schedule for the Fall of 2002. If questions still about what to
register for please contact Jean Sheran ([log in to unmask]) for an
appointment.


NEXT STUDENT CEC MEETING---MONDAY, 7:00, ROOM 413 MCGUFFEY
        An important component of being a professional is involvement
in professional meetings and continuing education. We enjoyed Mr. Tom
Knestrict's September presentation on establishing and maintaining
classroom discipline.
        The next Student CEC meeting will discuss the importance and
realities of teaming. It is likely you will all be working in
inclusive settings where collaboration with a variety of
professionals will be necessary if you wish to have the maximum
impact on the students you serve.
        Speakers for the evening will be three teachers (one of whom
is an intervention specialist -
Sue Killy) who work together at Kramer School and model best
practices in teaming. They will discuss how they work, what you need
to look for in your setting, and they will provide tips for maximum
effectiveness in teaming. An important topic with excellent
presenters. Be there (McGuffey 413, next Monday-22nd, 7:00).


SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT for 495A - From Dr. Ulrich
        Fall cleaning?
        Needed: stove, cooking supplies, clothing, books, games,
toys, and money donations
        The students in 495A have decided to donate a much needed
stove to the Special Education Resource Room in one of the area
Middle Schools.  If you know of someone who would be willing to
donate a new or used stove or have a contact who could get us a great
price, please contact me or one of the students.  The stove must be
electric, self-cleaning and be in terrific condition.  (We need it to
be safe for the special education students and other students who
will be using it.)
        We are also collecting money donations in Room 201 McGuffey
for the purchase of the stove and/or pots, pans....
        The 495A students have also found young students who are in
desperate need of new and or used socks, underwear, hats, gloves,
sweaters, sweats... any clothing- any size (they have brothers and
sisters).
If you are going through your clothes and have "gently worn"
donations, please bring them to my office.  We are also looking for
new and/or used toys and books.
        Thanks for all your help.  Mary Ulrich

LISTSERV
        It is essential that all special education majors, minors,
and pre-majors monitor this listserv. If you are on this listserv and
fail to heed advice that impacts you, it is unlikely that heroic
efforts will be made to de-jam you. If you do heed, and have
difficulties, heroic efforts will be made.
        If you have a preferred email address we can add you at that
address if you wish. Send along your preferred address. If you wish
to be removed (you have graduated or changed majors), please respond
as well.
