The voice of children in family law: The child centred continuum approachResolution Institute
Across the world Family Law jurisdictions are struggling with the same issue. If the International convention on the Rights of the Child acknowledges a child’s right to participate in decisions that affect them (Article 12), how can a family law dispute resolution system (FDR/Mediation) provide an opportunity for that to occur, not just in the nice cases, but in all cases suitable for Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)? In 2015 Jon Graham (Sydney, Australia) began an international collaboration with Lorri Yasenik PhD (Calgary, Canada). The goal was to design a model of practice that treated a family law parenting dispute from a systemic viewpoint and as such treat the mediation as a multi-party process. It is not that children are in the room all the time, but it is possible that children are given meaningful involvement. It is not true that children are given the status of decision makers for their parents, but rather provide information about the needs and concerns that they have as a result of the family separation.
In this presentation Jon presents the child centred continuum model, which has become a focus of child informed discussion in Australia, North America, the UK and Asia.

Ethics in Assessment: "The No Child Left Behind Act"
Psychological Testing as well as Assessments are used for many, important, and diverse reasons. One reason they are used is for situations like disability and legal matters because they may need the use of tests to obtain information that permits an individual to be compared to another individual. For instance, "The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act". Within this paper I will elaborate on the ethical implications of the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLB). I will provide a thorough description of the background of this act and it was implemented. In addition, I will also discuss the legal implications associated with this act. The No Child Left Behind act heavily focuses on providing assessments to all children; however, biases do exist and I will elaborate on these biases. Moreover, I will be discussing the ethical implications for diverse populations as a result of the No Child Left Behind Act.
Background of No Child Left Behind Act
George W. Bush positioned the "No Child Left Behind Act" law into action on January 8, 2002 . President Lyndon Baines Johnson overseen the transitory of the original Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) in 1965 (Guthrie, 2002). The act of the federal government greatly confirmed the significance of education for individuals of United States (Guthrie, 2002).The complication of the NCLB advocates it will be vital and challenging evenly to anyone assigned to overseeing the action. The original purpose, was intended to hold equal opportunity for all children in families with lower incomes by providing federal funds to the schools providing an education for low-income children (Guthrie, 2002).The school districts educating children of low-income were frequently given a smaller amount of local and state funds than the school districts supplying an education for children with family of a higher income. From 1965 when the law was in effect, ESEA has been once more authorized seven times (Guthrie, 2002). Each reauthorization has initiated change; however, the key principle of bettering the opportunities of students with lower incomes is still an issue (Guthrie, 2002).
The signing of the NCLB act indicated an identification of the lower academic levels of achievements within children in public schools (Guthrie, 2002).The NCLB act was intended to be an act of a positive influence in education and to raise the academic achievement levels of all students (Guthrie, 2002).The No Child Left Behind act intention was to better all schools performance (Guthrie, 2002).The objective of the NCLB act was to lessen the opening by using individual state liability and permit the children's parents to have more of a choice in her or her child’s education (Guthrie, 2002).

Kennedy (D-Mass.) and Rep.
George Miller (D- California) are in the
driver’s seat. What kind of spoils will they
