My Philosophy Of Special Education
During high school I was always the smartest kid in my special ed. classes and so many of my classmates turned to me for help. I never let them cheat off me, as I knew they would never learn and that I could get in trouble, but I did help them understand concepts that were difficult for them, I taught them little tricks and tips on how to better understand the assignments, and whenever I could, I helped them out with their homework. My teachers always loved me for that and of course always enjoyed helping. This is the reason I wanted to become a special ed. teacher because I am able to understand them at a much deeper level since I too suffer from it. With the experience I got from helping my peers I Strongly believe that I can make a difference

    Aed 222 Week 1 Nlcb 2001 Principles and Special Education

    The No Child Left Behind act has its pros and cons when it comes to the five core principles including strong accountability, expanded flexibility and control, methods based on scientific research, expanded options for parents, and highly qualified teachers. The pros and cons of the say this because when teaching diverse learners they are dealing with a variety of different learning styles. In turn every student will not respond to the No Child Left Behind principles or methods in the same manner, meaning that it may work for some while it may not work for others. The idea of strong accountability it is relevant to the teachers and the students. The teachers they are held accountable due to the set standards and curriculums that they have to teach and follow in order to meet the goals of the NCLB. Along with this they have to prepare the student for the standardized tests that are put in place to measure the students and the teacher’s progress. This is tricky because if the student fails teachers are held accountable while the students are also held responsible for themselves if they fail. This is when highly qualified teachers cone into effect due to the evaluations of their teaching through how the students perform on the standardized tests. In some ways this may be a good thing, but it can also be really bad too. If the students do good then the teachers look highly qualified but if the students don’t do a good job then the teachers look unqualified or as if they are not meeting the standards when that really may not be the case at all. Although teachers have certain curriculums to follow, they do have expanded flexibility and control regarding tailoring their lesson plans which is a good thing that gives them a little freedom. On the other hand it has its cons too because that in my opinion is about the only leeway that they have to make things their own. This will affect the students because teachers are stuck…

    Legal Case Study for Special Education

    Garret F. was a young man that had an accident as a young child that left him paralyzed and requiring a wheelchair for mobility and also physical care support during the day while at school. Garret’s parents were asking that the school system provide someone to assist Garret with ventilation services during his time in school. This assistance was not necessarily required to be done by a medical professional, in the past Garret’s teenage aunt completed those tasks and was not a medical professional. The School District did not want to comply with the request from Garret’s parents due to the cost that would arise from the salary for the caregiver. Garret’s parents took the School District to court and the School District fought the case all the way to the United States Supreme Court. (Cedar Rapids Community School District v. Garret F., 1999)…

    Hi Merilee, I enjoyed reading your post, I agree with your statement, children with learning disabilities, are just like any other children without an disability, they experience varying degrees of social acceptance. Teachers have different levels of influence in a child’s social acceptance. Recognizing them and understanding how to help a child achieve the best possible results is extremely important. Teaching can be challenging, setting goals, using classroom management and classroom curriculum design to motivate a student isn’t an easy task. Your example of how a teacher can influence a child’s level of acceptance by treating the student with honor and respect. Talking to them in a way that is not condescending, also giving them…

    Teaching Strategies for Special Populations

    The things we do as health professionals happens to be a never ending job. That's because there will always be a patient to educate and help them become their own self care agent. One of the many things we teach is either how to maintain their health or restore it. We also have to reach out to the families of the patients because they have to know the importance of the rehabilitation efforts and how demanding being part of a community life is necessary for independence. This all means that it is very crucial that both the patient and their support group understands the discipline it takes to either get better of an acute problem, or continue good health habits to maintain their health with whatever disability they may or may not have.…

    Example Of Grit Research Paper

    The most important lesson I would teach my students is to always have grit. Grit can be described as perseverance plus resilience. As a special education teacher, I must teach my students to continue on despite any obstacles or circumstances they may face. Students with special needs often experience times of discouragement. Throughout their lives, my students will face many trials whether school-related or home-related. I will teach them to believe that they can persevere and experience success. I will teach them that they cannot give up. Throughout my own life, chronic health issues made my life as a student and a swimmer extremely difficult. However, I always persevered no matter what obstacles I faced. Consequently, these experiences…

    There is not a better job than being a teacher. As a teacher, I have an opportunity to make an impact in the life of every child I encounter. As an effective teacher, I know that all children have different learning abilities. In our schools today, there are special education students that are not getting the same opportunities as general education students. One of the reasons a special education student may not be getting those opportunities is the teacher lacks the skills, needed to teach special education students.…

    Special Olympics

    Individually, I have always had a passion for helping out those with mental disabilities. The main avenue I try to apply this passion is through the Special Olympics. I have volunteered throughout high school and every year the experience seems to become more rewarding. Upon arriving to the games, each volunteer student is assigned a "buddy" to escort to all the events and activities throughout the day. Both of the buddies that I have had the privilege of escorting in high school (Taylor and Jason) were amazing individuals to be around. Perhaps the best part of the day is first meeting your buddy and seeing the look of pure joy in their eyes of making new friend. This passion is unconditional as the buddies do not care about the volunteers’…

There could be language/speech impairments and social deficiencies.

What was required of a Special Education teacher is to do an IEP’s on each student but it was hard for her to do that with all the different people in and out of her class throughout the day and it became stressful for her.…

    Special Education Philosophy

    The special education teacher is under a great deal of pressure with the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) law which was recently passed by the government in 2002. Students with disabilities are now treated as if they are to know as much as students that do not have a disability of any kind. Schools that fail to meet the governments mandate of the NCLB are in danger of losing some of their government funding, are put on a “needs to improve” list, and are punished rather than helped out by the government.…
