Paulo Freire (1921–1997) was a champion of what’s known today as critical pedagogy: the belief that teaching should challenge learners to examine power structures and patterns of inequality within the status quo.

Frontiers | Could Acting Training Improve Social Cognition and Emotional Control? - 0 views

Goldstein et al. (2013) found that a year of acting practice decreased the use of emotional suppression in children aged 7–10, while adolescents majoring in acting at high school (compared to other art majors e.g., music) used less suppression. Additionally, 4–5-years olds randomly assigned to an 8-week drama condition (compared to block building or reading) showed increased emotional control (i.e., inhibition of affective responses to observed or discussed distress; Goldstein and Lerner, 2018).

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.

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) ensures that all children with disabilities are entitled to a free appropriate public education to meet their unique needs and prepare them for further education, employment and independent living. Prior to IDEA, over 4 million children with disabilities were denied appropriate access to public education. Many children were denied entry into public school altogether, while others were placed in segregated classrooms, or in regular classrooms without adequate support for their special needs (Katsiyannis, Yell, Bradley, 2001; Martin, Martin, Terman, 1996; U.S. Department of Education, 2010).
