In a collaborative agreement with the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP), The Center for Applied Special Technology (CAST) has established a National Center on Accessing the General Curriculum to provide a vision of how new curricula, teaching practices, and policies can be woven together to create practical approaches for access to the general curriculum by students with disabilities. This five-year project brings together OSEP and five key
partners: Boston College, the Council for Exceptional Children (CEC),
Harvard University, and the Parent Advocacy Coalition for Educational
Rights (PACER) to effect change that will improve learning outcomes
for all students. To learn more about NCAC: http://www.cast.org/ncac
The Berkman Center for Internet and Society at
Harvard Law School The Berkman Center for Internet & Society is a research
program founded to explore cyberspace, share in its study, and help
pioneer its development. The Center investigates the real and possible
boundaries in cyberspace between open and closed systems of code, of
commerce, of governance, and of education, and the relationship of law
to each. The Center does this through active rather than passive research,
believing that the best way to understand cyberspace is to actually
build out into it. The Center's faculty, fellows, students, and affiliates
engage a wide spectrum of Internet issues, ranging from governance to
privacy, to intellectual property, to antitrust, to content control,
to electronic commerce. Their diverse research interests share a common
understanding of the Internet as a social and political space where
constraints upon inhabitants are determined not only through the traditional
application of law, but, more subtly, through technical architecture
("code"). To learn more about the Berkman Center: http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/
