Collaboration And Special Education

Improved Essays
Collaboration is a practical method of achieving your professional development goals. When you collaborate with other teachers you both are responsible for a percentage of the outcome based on the decisions you make. Both collaborators are responsible for materials regarding the subject they are discussing. For example, a general education teacher may have worksheets and activities for her students in her classroom and the special education teacher may have resources that target the same course of study but in an understandable way or on a lower developmental level for a child with disabilities. Collaboration is extremely important even before it has been decided that a particular student needs special services for their education. Positive

They are as follows: one teach/ one observe, one teach/ one assist, station teaching, parallel teaching, alternative teaching, and team teaching.

    Collaboration has been a huge factor in my school counseling development. The ASCA mentions that school counselors must work together with stakeholders both inside and outside the school (ASCA National Model, 2012, p. 6). By having a unified group of people (teachers, students, parents, community, administration, etc.) school counselors can access and support student achievement more effectively. Having this teamwork can really allow all parties to work towards a common goal of equality, which can build academic successes for every student.…

    While reading “Using Collaboration, Co-Teaching, and Question Answer Relationships to Enhance Content Area Literacy” by Nicole Fenty, I had a chance to learn about some strategies that can be used while co-teaching with a Special Education teachers and a general education teacher. Collaboration is the key to success in a general education setting where there are students who have an IEP because the teachers need to be on the same page of what the students need to learn while Co-Teaching. It is important that each teacher shares the responsibility of teaching the students. This sharing of responsibility allows for teachers to become more knowledgeable in their subjects which, allows them to teach the areas they know the best. Being knowledgeable…

    Before taking this course and being out in the field for 20 hours, special education was not my ideal teaching job. Special education was always intimidating to me because there is so much important information that is needed. IEP’s, parents, and goal setting are just a few to name that intimidated me until now. After getting to experience being in a special education room with the students and asking Nicole Degroot questions about these topics, I now I feel that special education may be the positon for me. From the first day of my observation hours, Mrs. Degroot made me feel completely welcome and comfortable, which made the experience that much better.…

    Introduction Since the passage of the Education of All Handicapped Children Act, now codified as IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), No Child Left Behind (NCLB) and the required adequate yearly progress (AYP), students are being served in various ways and the United States is striving to improve the quality of the educational practices and academic outcomes for students with disabilities (Palmer, 2015 and Stoutjesdijk, Scholte, & Swaab, 2012). In an attempt to meet the mandates of NCLB and IDEA, educators must address impediments to special education student’s academic achievement.

    Introduction Special education has made significant changes over the past years, partly due to the fact that people have stood up and made a change for the better toward children with disabilities. Children are no longer put into segregated hospitals and left to die and forgotten about. Children for many years were labeled as unlovable and a disgrace and hid away from society. Parents were faced with humiliation and public scorning for having a child with a disability and lived in fear. People are now more widely educated and have advanced over the past century to include children with disabilities as part of society and not simply a disgrace to be swept under the rug.…
