Student A from the morning class has a learning disability that prevents him from focusing and becomes easily frustrated. During one on one instruction, I would repeat the directions and sometimes the child will have moments, For example, there was an ant on his backpack, and he began to scream and run while most students will stomp on the bug. Student A made progress but will benefit from special education because the student will receive more attention compared to a regular classroom. Regular classes are unable to provide that one on one instruction and teachers may not be adequately trained to teach children with a learning disability. (Spring, 2014, pg. 126)…
As a special education teacher, her main focus is on her students’ academic performance in the classroom, and she creates her lesson plans based on her students’ needs. The downside is that Mrs. Taylor feels the documentation of the each student’s IEP takes away time from the classroom. She feels that she can identify and know what her students’ need and goals based on her observations and interactions in…
Recently I did my observation at Chime Institute 's Schwarzenegger Community School in a first-grade class that consisted of about twenty students both those of who have disabilities and do not. These students are typically six years old and at the time there was one teacher and one assistant who led the class. In the classroom, there was also one paraprofessional for the student with special needs. The mother of the child was also there guiding her daughter and helping with any questions the paraprofessional had regarding her daughter 's needs. For the majority of my observation, I was in a class setting…
SPED 5365 Instructional Processes with Exceptional Children (Fall 2014) SPED 5365 Instructional Processes with Exceptional Children equips students with a “competency in developing educational strategies for the remediation, amelioration, or compensation of exceptionality as it interferes with achievement or adjustment in school” (Lamar University, 2014, p. 1). I learned many practical strategies for teaching special education students from reading our assigned text, Strategies for Teaching Learners with Special Needs by Polloway, Patton, Serna, and Bailey (2013). I enjoyed completing my simulation case study…
IV. we found out that a lot of students had conflicting problems with how others are being taught and gave suggestions politely on how to change the problem for the better. They would agree with us hopefully and change the students ways of being taught and or separate the students into places where they would feel comfortable with themselves and others around them. We were able to find the result of improvement to student and teacher attitude towards each other. We would be addressing the problem of incorrect teaching of special ed students and their colleagues to cope with each other and have no to almost none at all of a negative impact.…

Response to Intervention: Tirzah Carroll Reinhardt University Special education is no longer the sole responsibility of a special needs educator. General education teachers are now finding their classrooms operating under the inclusion philosophy, which believes that all students, regardless of type or severity of their disability, have a right to receive instruction in a general classroom (Taylor, Smiley, & Richard, 2009). In fact, general education teachers are involved in the learning disability identification process long before these students ever receive an individualized education program (IEP). Schools are now implementing a systematic approach for monitoring student progress called the Response to…

The classroom was reasonably big, but the floor was opened with toys and an upstairs area where the students can go and hang up there.…
The person that I interviewed for this assignment is Julie Storm. Julie has been one of the special education teacher at the Webb City Junior high and High School for several years. Because Mrs. Storm doesn’t have any children in her family that is considered Special Ed, most of the question I asked her during the interview is geared towards how the student act, think, and interact with the different student in her classroom. I also touch bases on how being around these students have come to influence her…
I started my Instructional observation project and conversation project by having a conversation with my Assistant Principal, Mr. BK Walker. During this conversation we discussed his protocol for observations and what he is looking for while in classrooms. Mr. Walker provided me with the observation form that is used in Wythe County Public schools. He stated that the pre-observation meeting is to get an idea of what will be covered in the lesson for the day. During the observation he said that he looking for student engagement, sols being covered and if the teacher is keeping up with the pacing guide.…
Federal Law on Special Education Children with special needs who are in public schools are usually taken care of by laws from the IDEA that is individuals with disabilities education act, the section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973 and the Family Educational and Privacy Rights Act. These children are supposed to be provided for with free and appropriate education from the schools. (Murdick, par 1) The children with special needs that are to receive these services from the federal government are usually determined after the parent or guardian of the child with a special need writes a request for evaluation of whether his or her child can receive special education. In the parent’s or guardian’s request, the problems of the child should…
Over winter break, I had the opportunity to work as a substitute preschool teacher at the Jewish Community Center of Columbus Ohio. I was placed in the Turtle Room, the classroom for two to three year olds. Since a large part of the student population is Jewish, the preschool cafeteria only provided Kosher foods. I distinctly remember one day talking to the lead teacher in the classroom, Amanda about how one little boy, Henry would never eat his lunch or snacks. Henry would stick to only the foods that he knew like mandarin oranges or carrots and that was all he would eat.…
