- State of Education and Special Education: China
An overview from the Reading Education Delegation Oct, 2000. Bonnie Terry, M. Ed., Auburn Educational Therapist and owner of Bonnie Terry Learning Center, was invited to be a member of a Reading Education Delegation that traveled to the Peoples's Republic of China to meet with Chinese educators. The delegation was formed at the request of the Ministry of Education of the Chinese Government. Their goal was to further their knowledge of reading techniques that have the students interacting and thinking more than just learning by rote. Spurred by media exposure and new trade agreement with the West, the Chinese are becoming increasingly aware and interested in the ways of English-speaking, democratic cultures. The Chinese have realized that teaching reading, writing, English communication, and above all, teaching their young people to think creatively is imperative to their economic progress.

- The School Psychologist's Role in School Assessment
Authors - Sylvia Rosenfield and Deborah Nelson. ERIC Digest 1995 ED391985. School psychologists can play a unique role in schools because of their assessment expertise. Traditionally, they have been most involved in individual psychoeducational assessment for classification and labeling purposes, but the limitations of this form of assessment for building intervention strategies has led many school psychologists to broaden their role. Techniques linking assessment to interventions are being demonstrated by school psychologists as they consult with teachers to enhance the classroom performance of students.
