SPECIAL EDUCATION SORRYNO NEW SPECIAL EDUCATION LESSONS SENT IN THIS WEEK!! HOW ABOUT A LITTLE HELP CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT FOR DEAF AND HARD-OF-HEARING STUDENTS GRADES: 1-4 Just a few tricks I use to keep kids organized and to integrate language and literacy development throughout the day. Have students write down their lunch order (if they have a choice) on laminated posters, using wipe-off markers/crayons. I use one poster with pictures and words to show all lunch choices and mark them with marker as to the feature of the day. The students write their name and lunch choice so that I can record them on our lunch order sheet. Kids keep track of weekly center work using their own manila folders with center checklists inside. On this list appear all the possible centers available that week, space for them to write their name and the date each center assignment was completed, stars to color in to rate the center (1-3, 1 being "yuck" and 3 being "my favorite!"). I then leave a space where I can make comments about student progress, attitude towards work and areas of need. These are sent home weekly to parents, so they are kept abreast of their child's progress. I use a wipe-off board to list daily schedules, including time, short phrases describing what's happening and pictures for my emergent readers. For my ADHD/behavior challenged kids, I refer to the schedule often and have them cross out what we've completed this helps them get through the day with less outbursts and to be able to complete work, knowing that recess will happen shortly!

Education Issues Series an NEA Affiliate Special Education Inclusion Educators' Bulletin Board Resource pages on educational issues Professional support OnWEAC book store ... ONLINE SERVICES This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: Do we value all children equally? Is anyone more or less valuable? What do we mean by "inclusion?" Are there some children for whom "inclusion" is inappropriate? There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

The following definitions may help members differentiate between inclusion and integration. http://www.sstuwa.org.au/latest/20020731_inclusion.html

31 July 2002 Integration and inclusion - what's the difference? The following definitions may help members differentiate between inclusion and integration. Inclusion: In the Western Australian context, inclusion is the practice by which a student with a disability is enrolled full-time in the regular classroom and participates in the regular curriculum (with or without modification). Integration: In the Western Australian context, integration describes the practice by which the student receives intensive instruction appropriate to individual needs in an Education Support facility and joins their mainstream peers for the remainder of the educational program. Integration policy (This policy was developed in consultation with EDWA.) 1. That there be union representation on District Education Support Committees, with a specific position allocated to the union. 2. That, where integration occurs, the following rules apply: a) Teacher aide support to be negotiated with all parties when such support is considered by the teacher as necessary for successful integration b) Each multiply, severely, or moderately handicapped student should be counted as at least three students in the enrolment figures, and each mildly handicapped student should be counted as at least two children in the enrolment figures - except where appropriate, extra on-going assistance is provided and is acceptable to the teacher

Sanders of 3 The process by which all students (regardless of physical or mental challenges) are included in the regular school program is still a relatively new concept for parents, teachers, and administrators. There are many barriers to cross in making this controversial process work but without inclusion many deserving students would never be able to take the steps towards a fair, unhindered educational future that is ordinarily denied to them. CLASSROOM STUDENTS Students are an essential component in the inclusion process. It is important that they are educated on what can reasonably be expected from the special needs student. Both parents and teachers can educate students by explaining that although some students may have more difficulties than others, everyone is capable of learning. Reminding students any person included in games or activities, or simply asked to be a part of a group by another student, will feel welcomed and more like a part of the class, is an important step towards full inclusion.

Program Assessment Welcome to a new database of inclusion teaching and learning resources and strategies. This project is funded by the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction in Washington State . It is designed to disseminate information related to inclusion resources, best practices, strategies, and research. What Is Inclusion? Inclusion considers that all students are full members of the school community and are entitled to the opportunities and responsibilities that are available to all students in the school. In an inclusive school setting, students with disabilities are provided specially designed instruction in their least restrictive environment (LRE). LRE varies according to the individual needs and goals of each student. In order to determine the LRE, federal laws require that the individualized educational program (IEP) committee first develop the individual goals for the student, then determine how and where the student's goals can be met. Do Inclusive Classrooms Work?

You are here: Home Special Needs / Inclusion Inclusion Inclusion of Students with Special Needs: Standards and Assessment Inclusive learning environments have two basic components of assessment. The first is student academic progress that is measured by a variety of assessment procedures. The information gathered from the assessment is used to improve students’ performance and instructional programs. The second component is the organizational assessment schools undertake to determine future changes to the learning environment. Student Assessment and Standards Like It or Not, We Are Test-Driven Society in School, Work, and Government Niki Hayes Legislators in 25 states have passed laws requiring that standardized tests be used for accountability purposes in public schools. Educators, parents, and students are openly opposing these tests in increasing (and organized) numbers, and are demanding to know why this “test mania” is taking place in the United States. Niki Hayes shares a brief history of testing, the effects of testing on a population and shares a method she incorporated in her counseling to help parents and students understand testing.

Special Needs Students: Being Accountable for their Learning By Katherine Wagner M ain streaming and integration are embedded in the philosophy of North American public education systems. Inclusion is recognized as a right, and policies and practices are evolving to reflect this. In the U.S.A., inclusion is a civil right guaranteed under federal law. For more than a decade, the integration of special needs children (generally defined as students with learning disabilities, mental and physical challenges, behavioral disorders and/or gifts) has concentrated on the practical aspects of inclusion. Accountability has generally been defined in terms of physical and social accommodation at the school within a classroom of their peers. Concerns around the impact of inclusion on staff and other students and escalating costs are raising questions about the efficiency of an inclusive model. Education policy has yet to address two issues: What are our learning expectations for special needs students, and how do we clearly demonstrate they are achieved? If targeted funding is divorced from evaluation, is learning being given priority? How do we ensure both efficiency and effectiveness goals are met?

Inclusion Models for a Building Level by Elaine E. Daack, UNI masters thesis (1999) More and more general education and resource teachers are working together using different forms of teaming. A number of these models been successfully implemented at building level in school districts across the United States. Three of those models ar e a consultant approach, teaming, and co-teaching. (Gartner and Lipsky, 1997). Consultant Model - In a building with a low incidence of special needs students and overall low student population, this model would be very compatible. The special education teacher is made available to reteach a difficult skill or to help the student(s) practice a newly acquired skill. This is a non-intrusive approach that provides the special needs students with at least two teachers to ask for help with curriculum problems. Regularly scheduled meetings are recommended rather than communica tion on an as-needed basis. Teaming Model - The special education teacher is assigned to one grade level team with one planning period per week for the team. The special ed teacher provides student information, possible instructional strategies, modification ideas for as signments/tests, and behavior strategies. The team meets on a regular basis, establishing consistent communication among the team members. The team model is presented so teachers are not working independently to achieve success with their students. All team members work together and broaden their knowledge in various areas, whether they are from general education or special education.
