In regards to the current lease of your office building expiring and potential plans for a lease extension, I have done research using the FASB Codification to answer your questions below.…
I am writing this paper on the court case of Hudson District School vs. Rowley. I will discuss those involved in the case, what issues brought this case to trial, how and when the case was adjudicated, and the final outcome of the trial. I will also tell how I feel about this case and what it accomplished for the education system. Every student has the right to have an individual education plan (IEP). Although all students with disabilities are entitled to an IEP that does not necessarily mean they are eligible for every form of technology available to them. IEP are designed to keep children with disabilities as current as those students without disabilities. Amy Rowley did in fact have an individualized education plan, but her parents believed she was entitled to more. Hendrick Hudson vs. Rowley was the first U.S. Supreme Court’s trial under the Education for All Handicapped Children which is now known as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, (IDEA).…
Education has also seen notable improvements when the act came into fruition as the percentage of those with special educational needs achieving 5 or more A*-C grades rose by a total of 56% between 2005 and 2011(2). Whilst the grades of those with disabilities have improved, it appears that the experience in education hasn’t had a great effect due to the act as 26% of disabled people in education reported having a negative experience largely due to the attitudes of others and lack of correct facilities(3). The poor attitudes and lack of facilities may come from the fact that 83% of disabled students are in mainstream education (4) which cannot necessarily cater for their needs to the same standard of a special needs school.…
This first chapter introduces you to an area of education that has greatly affected the lives of countless children in positive way. Together we will take a look at the radical change of thought that has taken place, not only in this country, but also in other parts of the world. This, in turn, has influenced our understanding of how we identify children who require special needs. Here you will see the unfolding scenario that greatly affects all of us as we are being introduced to various groups who are directly or indirectly associated with these children. They include parents, educators, legislators, and even our leaders. But in the very central spotlight are the children who are exceptional or…
It is important to give every child and young people to have equal access to an education. No matter what barriers a child may have it is important to give them the chance to choose just like anyone else. This falls in conjunction with the codes of practice above and allows every child/young person to matter.…
Parents trust us teachers with their children and believe the school will take every measure to help their child succeed. Policies must be made to protect the rights of individuals with special needs. People like Patti, Luis, and Bernard are beautiful, amazing individuals. They require only patience, love, and compassion. Geraldo Rivera said “All people need is humanity and compassion”, and special education needs reform and continue to improve.…
Schoof, R. (2013) Talks about the pros of the ‘No Child Left Behind Act’ from 2002. It was an act that would make sure every child had an equal chance to obtain the same type of education every other kid will receive and no discriminate because a child may not have enough to go to school to get such education and does not discriminate against the child’s background, race, or disability that keeps a child from getting an equal chance.…
A second issue that has been brought forth as being detrimental is one that I have also seen as being a pro, the socialization aspect of inclusion. Opponents to inclusion feel that the socialization part of learning takes precedence over the student’s academic achievement. If this is so, then the disabled student would be missing out on necessary skills that would ensure academic progression while at the same time putting the regular…
I decided to focus on special education and the behavior modification needed to improve the disruptions during class. It affects me because I have taught in an inclusive classroom and I have witnessed firsthand the behavioral problems and the lack of resources.…
We have heard of the Columbine shooting, where in the spring of 1999 in Littleton, Colorado over a dozen people where killed and many others were wounded at the hands of two students. Or even more recently, we heard about the Virginia Tech massacre where a single student killed thirty-two people and wounded over twenty more. University of Texas, California State University, San Diego State University, the list of school violence is long and heart-breaking. Students and teachers have lost their lives by the dozens to gunmen that carried a grudge for some reason or another. These are extreme cases, for sure, and there is without a doubt a need for discipline in schools every where. However, zero-tolerance policies are not the answer to school discipline unless they can be reformed to have fewer gray areas and kept from being too strict, be less disruptive to the education process and allow teachers to keep their voices, and figure out how to correct claims of racial discrimination, regardless of claims that they are effective.…
Education plays a vital in society. It is one of the key fundamentals for societal growth and development. It is forever evolving for the better of mankind. With its development come some concerns about its progress. Progress in content of, the education provided the materials necessary in classes, school code and many more. One concern in particular is school safety. From elementary (Sandy Hook Elementary Shooting) to universities ( Virginia Tech Massacre) school safety has always been a main concern for government, administrations, communities, and families. School safety plays a major role in the structure of education children receive.…
To be specific, my special education course focused a lot of including students who with a disability. In this course, diversity of opinions were always encouraged especially on how we can differentiate our lessons to meet the needs of all our students. For one of our class assignment, we had to create our own lesson plan for 6th graders. In addition, one of the requirement was including how we would differentiate our lesson plan to meet the needs of students with disabilities.…
4. Do special needs students understand that disciplinary decisions and actions may vary between themselves and regular education students? Again like I stated at the school in which I work the disciplinary action taken are the same as if the student was in regular education. The reason why is because we want do not want the special needs child to feel that they can get away with inappropriate behavior due to their disability. This is why as teachers we always go over the rules and regulations for our class.…
I have chosen this topic because as a person enrolled in an institute of higher learning and the mother of children who are currently enrolled in a public school system I am concerned that for to long we have turned a deaf ear as well as a blind eye to issues that could potentially affect us as a society in…
Today I am going to talk about the free education debate that was done in class on Tuesday in class. The affirmative side was arguing that the United States of America should adopt Bernie Sander College for All Act. Their reasoning was that the student debt rate has gotten out of hand and that we need to better approach on how to deal with this rising debt. The evidence they presented was how the college system in Germany and Denmark have free education and how it working out for them. The also provide statistic on the debt in America compared to the debt in another countries. The stated the education is a right that should be given to everyone. The also showed the average debt that the students have accumulated since entering college. The negative side was debating that we don’t need to adapt to Bernie Sander College for All Act. They argued this on the reasoning that yes we have a lot of American in debt but it would not be in America best interest to adopt this plan. The also went against the affirmative and stated that higher education is a privileges, that if we made it free people would stop seeing the value of it. The also went into detail on how just because it worked for other countries doesn’t mean that it going to work for Americans. For evidence they showed how free education has a negative effect on the countries. I…
