American Recovery & Reinvestment Act of 2009 (P.L.111-5) Resource List |
|
Sunday, 08 March 2009 |
From the White House:
Recovery.gov is a website that lets you, the taxpayer, figure out where the money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act is going. There are going to be a few different ways to search for information. The money is being distributed by Federal agencies, and soon you'll be able to see where it's going -- to which states, to which congressional districts, even to which Federal contractors. As soon as we are able to, we'll display that information visually in maps, charts, and graphics.

Supervisor Certificate Information |
|
Saturday, 15 November 2008 |
Dear Non-Teaching Professionals:
Thank you all for your interest in the new requirements for the administrative Supervisor Certificate. Whereas the previous requirements included 3 years classroom teaching experience and a concurrently held teaching certificate, our certificates and experience in schools will now count toward meeting the requirements to hold an administrative Supervisor level certificate. The three professions currently affected by these changes include School Psychologists, School Counselors and Speech-Language Professionals. There are other requirements, which you can access from the attached documents. It is now possible for all of us to consider leadership positions in our respective fields. Having appropriate administrators will not only benefit us but will also benefit the children who receive our learning support services. Please consider taking advantage of these new opportunities. |

J. M. Barry (2004 page 6) wrote: “Medicine is not yet and may never be fully a science–the idiosyncrasies, physical and otherwise, of individual patients and doctors may prevent that–but, up to a few decades before World War I, the practice of medicine had remained quite literally almost unchanged from the time of Hippocrates more than two thousand years earlier. Then, in Europe first, medical science changed and, finally, the practice of medicine changed.”
Introduction.
In this article, we review and discuss information about evidence-based practice (EBP), the nature of evidence, the replication and integration of clinically pertinent research literature, the use of evidence-based practice in speech-language pathology, the role of teamwork in EBP, and criticisms of EBP. Culture, oral motor exercises, and witchery are considered. We use “client” rather than “patient” except when citing or discussing a publication.
