Ohio considers online driver's education program
Posted: at 9:28 am
TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - It's offered in other states, teens taking driver's education classes on-line. Could that become an option here in Ohio?
During a meeting in Napoleon with driver school operators and two state lawmakers, discussion focused on the importance of continuity between classroom and street instruction.
"It would be a bad thing because the things we teach in the classroom go over into the car." says Bonnie Lech with the Key Driving School in Napoleon.
"We are teaching lifelong safety skills they need to learn in the classroom, then it has to be a one-on-one when they're out driving." says Donna Foster with Mid-America Driver Training in Bowling Green.
Even though traditional driving schools would still be needed to perform on-the-road training, Foster says on-line programs would result in jobs lost in Ohio:
"My school in Bowling Green has 18 employees. If the on-line program was allowed to go through, I would probably go down to maybe 3 or 4 employees."
State Senator Cliff Hite says he's not sure he could support legislation to create on-line driver's education courses.
"When you do math on-line that's a little different than when you're doing driver's education where people's lives could be in danger if you're not instructed well, so it's a good argument."
State Representative Bruce Goodwin is also skeptical should a proposal go before Ohio lawmakers.
"I was a former educator. I believe you can't replace that person in the classroom as easily as many people believe."

Online education coalition sues state over budget cuts
Posted: at 9:28 am
OLYMPIA — An online learning coalition has filed a lawsuit against the state, claiming that budget cuts have hit alternative-education programs harder than traditional schools, violating the state constitution.
Members of the Washington Families for Online Learning filed the lawsuit in King County Superior Court this week.
It alleges that lawmakers last year cut Alternative Learning Experience programs, which includes K-12 online education offered by dozens of school districts, an average 15 percent more than traditional schools.
They said a state Supreme Court decision issued last month reinforced their decision to sue. The court ruled that the state is failing to meet its constitutional duty to provide a basic education to all the state’s children.

Intimate Partner Violence is Focus of New Online Continuing Education Course from Professional Development Resources
Posted: at 4:05 pm
Professional Development Resources, a nationally accredited provider of continuing education (CE) to psychologists, social workers, counselors, speech-language pathologists, registered dietitians and occupational therapists, has released a new online CE course on intimate partner violence.
Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) February 17, 2012
Professional Development Resources has announced a new addition to its online continuing education (CE) curriculum for mental health professionals: Domestic Violence: Child Abuse and Intimate Partner Violence. The course, which is presented in two parts, is intended to help mental health professionals maintain a high state of vigilance and to be well prepared with immediate and appropriate responses when partner violence is disclosed.
Part 1 of the course is about child abuse. Part 2 deals with Intimate partner violence (IPV) which is, unfortunately, a pervasive part of life in U.S. society. According to the 2010 National Intimate Partner and Sexual Violence Survey (NISVS), over 35% of women and 28% of men say they have been raped and/or physically assaulted and/or stalked by a current or former spouse, cohabiting partner, or date at some point in their lifetime. Survivors of these forms of violence may experience physical injury, mental health consequences like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and suicide attempts. Other health consequences like gastrointestinal disorders, substance abuse, sexually transmitted diseases, and gynecological or pregnancy complications are also common.
The NISVS 2010 report further describes five types of IPV, including sexual violence, physical violence, stalking, psychological aggression, and control of reproductive or sexual health. The latter category includes refusal by an intimate partner to use a condom. For a woman, it includes times when a partner tried to get her pregnant when she did not want to become pregnant. Conversely, for a man, it includes times when a partner tried to get pregnant when the man did not want her to become pregnant. IPV affects individuals from all ethnic and socioeconomic groups, including lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and HIV-affected (LGBTQH) communities.
A very important and sensitive issue is a victim’s decision to stay with the batterer in spite of ongoing abuse. To a casual observer, it is hard to understand why a person would choose to stay in a destructive relationship. Victims frequently hear from their friends and family members: “why don’t you just leave?” This represents a failure to appreciate the complexity of the problem. According to physicians Rose Fife and Sarina Schrager in their 2012 book Family Violence: What Health Care Providers Need to Know, the decision to leave – or not – is one of the most difficult choices victims will have to make, and possibly the most dangerous.
“Leaving a relationship is a process that occurs over time,” says Leo Christie, PhD, licensed marriage and family therapist and president of Professional Development Resources. “It must be understood that typically a victim cannot do so immediately, and often not for a long time. There are many reasons for this: she may think this lifestyle is ‘normal’; she may agree with the abuser that she is bad or stupid or deserves this; she may have no idea how to leave or where to go; she may have no job skills and fear that she and her children will starve. But mostly she is afraid, and her fear is valid. A woman’s risk of being killed is highest when she tries to leave.”
The central purpose of this online CE course is to help clinicians appreciate the likelihood that many of their clients are living in violent relationships, whether they have disclosed it or not. It includes training for detecting abuse when they see it, screening for the particulars, and responding with definitive assistance in safety planning, community referrals, and individualized treatment plans.
