Our purpose is to tell a story. A story about a man named Waddie Welcome. There are five points to make up front. . . . . .This telling of Mr. Welcome's story began as Tom Kohler joined slides and written materials with a reflection written by Susan Earl to create a talk for people concerned about community building, and especially about community building as it is done by people associated with Chatham-Savannah Citizen Advocacy, as Mr. Welcome was. Response to the talks led to this book. You will see Lester Johnson, a citizen advocate, in this story, but this story is bigger than that. It is the story of Mr. Welcome's eighty-seven years. . . .We would not usually be telling a person's story in such detail; people's lives are private. But Mr. Welcome became in the latter part of his life a public figure and a man who felt his life had a message. Mr. Welcome's great nieces have seen the story and think that it is respectful. This is the story of a remarkable man and the people who surrounded him to make their whole community stronger. It is a life lesson in community building from people who became masterful by doing it. It is a treasure story with amazing photos. "The beloved community is not a utopia, but a place where the barriers between people gradually come down and where the citizens make a constant effort to address even the most difficult problems of ordinary people. It is above all else an idealistic community." - Jim Lawson

Make a Difference: A Guidebook for Person-Centred Direct Support

A teacher's resource book on dealing with intellectual challenges in a regular classroom. This book is a resource for teachers who have the opportunity and the responsibility to work with students who have been labeled with intellectual challenges. The fundamental premise is that good teaching is good teaching - for all students. Secondly, this book believes that teachers are good professionals and have both the skills and the spirit to welcome and teach all learners. However, because of lags in teacher training and support, many teachers may fear the challenge of welcoming students who at first glance appear to require special training they have not had. This book walks through examples that reaffirm the capacity of all teachers to teach all students using their own capacities, the skills and enthusiasm of other students, and the untapped commitment and talents of students labeled intellectually challenged. As a teacher in a regular classroom you know that you will have students with diverse intellectual abilities and needs in your classroom. This manual is designed to give you, whether you teach kindergarten or Grade 12 Chemistry, some ideas on how you can respond to all your students as a professional and on a professional level. Certain basic teaching strategies work effectively across learners and ages and abilities. It is not as much a task of learning new teaching strategies, as it is a matter of using what you already know with adjustments here and there.
