Culturally Relevant Pedagogy with Primary Sources Videos | Minnesota Historical Society - 7 views

      How will you use primary sources in your classroom?
  •  
    I think that primary sources could be really neat to tie into social studies lessons. For instance, you could use a journal entry recounting an event from someone as a primary source, and then learn about that event and have students write what it would be like if they lived through that event. To tie in culturally relevant pedagogy, I think it would be creative to use a journal entry from someone in history discussing a tradition or important part of their culture, and then students in the class can write their own journal entries about their own culture and an important tradition or aspect of it.

  • When you start to notice how one dominant group in society may be imposing a culture or worldview on everyone else, you can begin to resist it.
  • Encourage active enquiry and curiosity-lead participation:
  • Admit that the teacher doesn’t know everything
  • Give choice
  • Make project work research-oriented
  • Think carefully about texts, clips, and other resources you use
  • Introduce the vocabulary of critical literacy

About IDEA - Individuals with Disabilities Education Act - 1 views

  • The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that makes available a free appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities throughout the nation and ensures special education and related services to those children.

      What IDEA is about and who it helps
  • Additionally, the IDEA authorizes: Formula grants to states to support special education and related services and early intervention services. Discretionary grants to state educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and other nonprofit organizations to support research, demonstrations, technical assistance and dissemination, technology development, personnel preparation and development, and parent-training and -information centers.
  • In the law, Congress states: Disability is a natural part of the human experience and in no way diminishes the right of individuals to participate in or contribute to society. Improving educational results for children with disabilities is an essential element of our national policy of ensuring equality of opportunity, full participation, independent living, and economic self-sufficiency for individuals with disabilities.

Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) - Legal Responsibilities of Special ... - 0 views

  • This round of amendments changed more than just rights, it was a spotlight on the fact that people's minds were changing about children with disabilities. PL 101-476 changed the wording and terminology of the original law.

      1990 amendments to PL 94-142
  • Children was changed to individuals, and handicapped became with disabilities. Also, the "Education of the Handicapped Act" name was retired, and IDEA, or Individuals With Disabilities Education Act, became the legal name of this set of laws.
    • nikkilh
       
      Wording that was changed
  • PL 101-476 required that every special needs child have an Individualized Transition Plan (ITP) worked into their IEP by age 16. An ITP is a plan for the preparation of individuals with special needs to become capable and ready to leave school and get a job, attend college, and become a contributing member of society.

What is Down Syndrome? | National Down Syndrome Society - 0 views

  • In every cell in the human body there is a nucleus, where genetic material is stored in genes. Genes carry the codes responsible for all of our inherited traits and are grouped along rod-like structures called chromosomes. Typically, the nucleus of each cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, half of which are inherited from each parent. Down syndrome occurs when an individual has a full or partial extra copy of chromosome 21.
