What Is Included in an IEP | Understood - For learning and thinking differences - 0 views

  • IEPs are developed by a group of professionals at school. One member of this IEP team typically acts as a case manager and oversees the IEP. You’re part of your child’s IEP team, too. That means you’ll be involved in the process as the IEP is made. The IEP team will use the results of your child’s evaluation testing to design the plan. The scores show the specific areas your child struggles with. Having that information allows the IEP team to provide the individualized instruction and supports your child needs.

      Requirements of an IEP
  • The 1997 Amendments (Pub. L. 105-17) made these changes: Students with disabilities who exhibit less serious infractions of school conduct may be disciplined in ways similar to children without disabilities (including a change in placement) provided that the misbehavior was not a manifestation of the student’s disability. IEPs are now required to state how the student with disabilities will be involved with and progress in the general education curriculum. Transition planning now begins at age 14. Regular educators became part of the IEP team. Benchmarks and measurable annual goals are emphasized. Assistive technology needs of the student are considered by the IEP team. Orientation and mobility services for children with visual impairments are added to the definition of related services. States are required to offer mediation services to help resolve disputes. A variety of assessment tools and strategies are to be used in an effort to gather relevant functional and developmental information. Students with disabilities are included in statewide and districtwide assessment programs or given alternative assessments that meet their unique needs.

  • If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), the IEP team will meet every year to bring it up to date. One of the first steps is to update your child’s present levels of academic achievement and functional performance. Some states/school districts refer to this as PLAAFP, some as PLOP and others as PLP.

Role of Special Education Teachers in an Inclusive Classroom | American University - 1 views

  • The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) states that students with individual education plans (IEPs) must be educated in the least-restrictive environments (LREs) available. Under IDEA, inclusive education (or mainstreaming) has become a standard operating procedure for US public schools. Students with IEPs can range from individuals with Down syndrome or forms of autism to those with speech impediments or dyslexia—all of which require varying levels of support.
  • For inclusion to show positive benefits, the learning environment and instructional models must be carefully established to provide strong learning opportunities for all students. Special education and general education teachers must have mutual respect and open minds toward the philosophy of inclusion, as well as strong administrative support and knowledge of how to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
  • Special education teachers serve as advocates for students with disabilities and special needs. This includes ensuring that all school officials and employees understand the importance of inclusion and how to best implement inclusion in all campus activities. Advocacy might include requesting inclusion-focused professional development activities—especially programs that help general education teachers better understand inclusion best practices—or providing information to community members about success rates of inclusive teaching.

Paulo Freire | Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy - 0 views

shared by gracejohn2021 on 22 Sep 21 - No Cached
  • To promote democratic interactions between people, Freire suggests that teachers problematize the issue being discussed.  When issues or questions are problematized by teachers who work through critical pedagogy, readily made answers are not available.  Students realize that although some questions do have clear-cut answers, many of our deeper questions do not have obvious answers.  When students learn that teachers are human beings just as everyone else, and that teachers do not know everything but that they are also learners, students then feel more confident in their own search for answers and more comfortable to critically raise questions of their own.  The banking method denies the need for dialogue because it assumes that the teacher is the one who possesses all the answers and the students are ignorant and in need of the teachers’ knowledge. In order to problematize a subject, the teacher assumes a humble and open attitude.

Working With Families of Children With Special Needs | VLS - 0 views

  • Establishing meaningful relationships with families is a critical part of your work, and your communication is especially important when working with families with preschoolers with special needs.
  • The first step to establish strong relationships with families of children with special needs is to spend time discovering their wishes and concerns for their children and to learn about the meaningful activities they participate in at home. Maintaining this communication throughout a child’s time in your program is essential. Ask questions to learn about strategies that work at home and consider using them in your classroom.
  • In your collaboration with families, acknowledge and respect their strengths and unique background, while realizing their ability to make decisions that are right for them (Hanson & Lynch, 2004).

Visual impairment in the classroom - 0 views

  • Visual impairment in the classroom

      Another great classroom resource!
  • Visual cues are central to most early childhood education systems.
    • sadielaurenn
       
      This is incredibly true, almost every lesson we will teach have some aspect of a visual. How will we accomplish our lessons without visuals?
  • In a school environment, visual impairments can cause difficulties when it comes to traditional reading and writing activities, reading at a distance, distinguishing colors, recognizing shapes and participating in physical education games which require acute vision, such as softball and kickball.
    • sadielaurenn
       
      Prior to research, when I heard "vision impairment" I would typically think of someone who is blind. Throughout researching this disability I have realized that it is so much more. Something as simple as needing glasses for being near sided or far sided is consider a vision impairment.

  • Tips for teachers working with students who are visually impaired
    • sadielaurenn
       
      Below are some very basics tips to help accommodate your visually impaired students.
  • Children and adults with low vision are not considered legally blind, they simply have reduced vision at or lower than 20/70. Students who are blind have vision that is at or lower than 20/200. Nonetheless, only 15% of students with visual impairments are considered to be completely blind, with no light or form perception ability
    • clwisniewski
       
      An interesting statistic!
  • Children with visual impairments often start off learning to read and write with the assistance of low-tech solutions, such as high-intensity lamps and book-stands. Sometimes screen magnification and computer typing and reading programs are used. In other cases, low vision students will learn to read using the Braille system over text, or a combination of the two. However, as students progress through early grade levels and reading and writing activities become more demanding, periodic literacy skills assessment is required to ensure additional resources and adaptive strategy instruction are provided to meet their needs.
    • clwisniewski
       
      It's good to continue assessing visually impaired students in case they need further assistance.
  • For those students with visual impairments who do not master Braille, making use of technology to facilitate reading is fundamental. In fact, most talented Braille readers prefer to use computers or tablets when reading for fun anyway. And students who learn to use a computer not only find homework easier to complete, but often become faster readers. It is simply more efficient for low vision students to use a computer and word-processor over reading paper books and handwriting. This is particularly relevant at a high-school level, when reading and writing assignments become lengthier and more challenging.
    • clwisniewski
       
      This could be included in a student's IEP, so they have access to a device that can assist them with reading and writing.

  • "Acceleration is one of the most curious phenomena in the field of education. I can think of no other issue in which there is such a gulf between what research has revealed and what most practitioners believe. The research on acceleration is so uniformly positive, the benefits of appropriate acceleration so unequivocal, that it is difficult to see how an educator could oppose it."
