    (2017-03-15) Women's Philanthropy, Institute
    We recognize and celebrate a true cultivator and gardener of women’s philanthropy – an advocate whose career spans more than four decades and she’s not finished yet. It is an honor to award Tracy Gary the 2017 Shaw-Hardy Taylor Achievement Award for moving women’s philanthropy forward. Tracy has been called the “Janie Appleseed” of women’s philanthropy. She wakes up each morning as an activist and in the spirit of our symposium theme, she DREAMS, she DARES, and she DOES.

    The Relationship of Special Education Placement and Student Academic Outcomes
    (Sage, 2020) Cole, Sandi M.; Murphy, Hardy R.; Frisby, Michael B.; Grossi, Teresa A.; Bolte, Hannah R.; School of Education
    This study investigates the academic outcomes of a special education student cohort in the state of Indiana placed in high and low inclusion settings. Student scores in these two settings from the Indiana State Test of Educational Progress (ISTEP+ English/Language Arts and math) were compared from fourth grade in 2014 through the eighth grade in 2018. Results of this study show that students with disabilities who spent 80% or more of their time in a general education inclusive classroom did significantly better in both reading and math assessment than their peers who spent more time in separate special education classrooms.
