The emergence of the standards-based reform movement has raised a number of issues related to the design of educational programs for students with severe disabilities, and a debate has arisen that presents an “either/or” choice between the general education curriculum and an ecological curricular framework that has traditionally guided curriculum development. In this paper, the authors propose that, to adequately meet the needs of students with moderate to severe disabilities, an ecological approach focusing on quality of life outcomes must be reconciled with the development and implementation of standards-based academic curricula. To accomplish this reconciliation, the authors recommend that individualized education plan teams engage in a process that allows them to work within an ecological curricular framework to develop standards-based goals that reflect meaningful knowledge and skills that are tailored to students' individual needs and applicable to their everyday lives. They propose that quality of life goals expand beyond home, friendships, community participation, and work to include academic goals that are life enriching and promote lifelong learning that can be linked to a broader range of subject area domains in the core curriculum. In addition, they suggest instructional approaches that promote effective instruction and generalized outcomes for both academic and functional skills. Finally, they outline a number of issues that require additional reflection, discussion, and research.
Community radio in Australia comprises 340 independent not-for-profit organisations filling
niche market segments. However, they often strongly compete with high profile mainstream
commercial sophisticated broadcasting companies. For community radio to successfully
compete means developing a clear market position to assist their program development,
management system and promotion format. This paper explores the status of community
radio organisations in Australia and examines the market research process adopted by one
organisation to test and validate its market position. Both listeners and non-listeners of the
station were sampled. Analysis indicated that for the community radio broadcaster they were
well positioned by the cognitive understanding of their constituent members. This paper
presents, tests and affirms the market position held by the organisation and the results
provide affirmation to the programming content and broadcast structure. In addition it
assists in filling a research gap as it relates to positioning and community radio
organisations.
Movie theaters have always been a critical distribution channel for motion pictures, and still are for the Hollywood studios since the economic model used in the industry is weighted to cinema releases. However in recent years movie theaters, especially in North America, have faced bankruptcies on a massive scale due to several factors. The case examines the industry and new technologies as a possible solution to getting audiences back to theaters. It asks the reader what they would do as a theater operator if faced with the choice of a significant investment in a new technology to counter adverse environmental and industry trends. A detailed Teaching Note is available from the author.
