By Merrilee Brown Editorial: Truly Special Education We have a number of exceptional exceptional students at Bowmanville Bowmanville High School; not just those who are achieving academically, but also those who "show variability in their physical, intellectual, communicative, communicative, social and emotional development." The definition of "exceptionality" was developed by the Provincial Provincial Legislature as Part of Bill 82, also known as the "Revised Education Act" or the "Special Education Act", which was passed by the Provincial Provincial Government in 1982. Under this Act, children with special education needs will be served in regular classrooms classrooms and neighbourhood schools "insofar as these arrangements are conducive to good educational progress." progress." By Septebmer 1, 1985, all students with learning disabilities disabilities or exceptional learning learning abilities must be placed in' special programs suited" to their individual needs. Students Students will be offered the opportunity to learn at their own speed and to have their own special needs addressed. The first step in the implementation implementation of Bill 82, was to reassign or appoint staff in each school to "comb" the student population for learning learning disabilities, including "hidden" disabilities such as organizational problems. At Bowmanville High School, Mr. Swann was initially assigned to implement the requirements requirements of the Bill, and now Miss Murray and Mr. Johnson have been added to the staff of the special education department. department. These teachers must identify students who are deemed to be in need of special help. The Special Education Identification Placement and Review Committee (or S.E.I.P.R.C.) is responsible for the identification of learning learning disabilities such as mental retardation and for the recommendation recommendation for placement of the child. Placement may be in the school's regular classrooms, classrooms, "withdrawal" or individual individual education, or a special school or residential unit. If the parents of an "exceptional" child disagree with or object to the placement placement or evaluation of their child, they may have their child re-assessed by a higher appeal board, in much the same way that an appeal is made to a higher court in our law system. In this way, Bill 82 promotes better communication communication between the teacher and the parent, as the parent must be present at the time of indentification of their child. Due to the right of appeal, parents also have more "clout" than they have had in the past. Co-operation between the Special Education department and the rest of the teachers on staff at Bowmanville High School is essential. Often, it is the subject teacher who first notices the subtle symptoms of learning disabilities. A student may have difficulty reading a text book, linking words to form a coherent sentence sentence in written work or be unable to concentrate in class. These teachers must answer requests for information on progress, difficulties in attitude, attitude, or the particular strengths or weaknesses of individual students. Once a student has been identified and the problems have been assessed, an individual curriculum is developed. developed. In most instances, basic life skills are taught. Many students in special education need to learn mathematics, to read and write and to express themselves well enough to function in society. They need to learn how to care for themselves themselves and to develop a marketable skill. Through the Co-op program, special education education students can learn a trade and gain the experience required required to become valuable members of society.. The cost of training these students, now provided by the Board of Education, is negligible compared compared to the costs of institutionalization institutionalization or government subsidization (pensions) for the rest of their lives. The value to society is obvious ; the value to the students is priceless. priceless. The effect of Bill 82 on Bowmanville High School will be an increase in students in our Special Education Department, Department, At present, about tiO pupils are enrolled in the pro gram, including the "gifted - talented." Some drastic changes in the physical plan of the school may be required as this program is implemented. Ramps and special washrooms washrooms may have to be installed installed for the physically handicapped handicapped in wheelchairs. More staff will be needed to supplement supplement the Special Education Department and of course more room. The extra cost will be absorbed by the Board of Education. Ideally, the implementation of Bill 82 should develop all students to their maximum potential, preparing them to participate as valued members of society. Tech News In the past, the Technical Department at Bowmanville High School has been sadly neglected by the Bowmanville High School news. However, the implementation of some new equipment in the technical technical department attracted, not only this news reporter, but a number of the other departments departments in the school as well. Between Wednesday, September 26th and Friday, September 28th, over 500 students viewed a Computer Aided Design-Computer Aided Mechanics (CAD-CAM) Lathe which was on loan to Bowmanville Bowmanville High School from RSR Career Systems. The lathe is electronic and is hooked up to a computer. With minimal or no computer skills, students can learn to program the computer to perform the practical practical operations of turning and shaping nylon, wood or aluminum aluminum to their exact specifications. specifications. Because it is so accurate, accurate, the curriculum covered in the technical department can be broadened. Many intricate parts for vacuum cleaners, toys, etc., are made of nylon and can be duplicated on the CAD-CAM. The price for the computerized computerized lathe would be between $8000 and, $9000, which the technical department would like to split with the Mathematics Mathematics department at Bow- CO-OPERATIVE EDUCATION By A1 Woodlock ■ Teachers Introduce Co-op Students to Computer Science This year B.H.S. has a new computer science room (Rm. 217) equipped with several Commodore computers. This room is used for computer science classes taught by Mr. Ramdial, Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Chambers, all members of the math department. Also, it will be available for other classes or individuals interested interested in anything from learning the basics to advanced programming. programming. The computer studies program program at B.H.S. is a joint effort between the Business and Mathematics departments. The widespread use and interest interest in computers has resulted resulted in tremendous growth in this area of study at B.H.S. There are over 40 computers now in the school with several classes being taught by the Business and Math departments. departments. The Mathematics department department under the direction of Mr. Ramdial, lias been busy setting up its new computer room as well as developing an interesting Co-op program for some senior students. Fred Montpetit, Barry Erskine and Tim Thertcll arc three senior students who will be working in this area. Their employers are Mr. Ramdial and Mr. Cochrane. The job will involve many aspects^ of computer work. They "will have to review, categorize and file large quantities of software as well as maintain an inventory of software. Teaching and demonstrating the use of computers to students and teachers as well as developing some programs for use by certain teachers for individual and classroom instruction will be among their duties. Also, they will be transmitting several programs into the computer and serving as teaching aids for computer science classes. They will be asked to manage the computer computer room for various parts of the school day. I want to thank Mr. Ramdial and Mr. Cochrane for providing providing this totally new job placement and I hope they,.as well as the students involved, benefit from the program. manville High School. There is a great deal of theory, as well as computer programming involved in the mechanism of the CAD-CAM which would be of value as part of the course of study in the Math department. department. With the advent of the computer, the shops become more accessible to those students at Bowmanville High School who have physical disabilities or, like myself, are just "all thumbs" when it comes to running technical machines. The CAD-CAM could be a stepping stone to providing the opportunity for a much wider group of students to participate participate in technical courses.
