    Five Ethical Categories In Special Education

    While analyzing the required text for this week there were five ethical categories that reoccurred through each document: responsibilities to parents, collaboration, community, personal development, and students. In addition, there are other categories, but these are the most significant to me. Special education teachers have a responsibility to parents: • Use culturally appropriate communication with parents and families that is respectful and accurately understood (CEC, 2010). • Actively seek and use the knowledge of parents and individuals with exceptionalities when planning, conduction, and evaluating special education services and empower them as partners in the education process (CEC, 2010). • Respect the private nature of the special…

    Country That Once Betrayed Me

    What stood out to me from this week’s continent material are the two movies, “A Classroom Dived” and “Why I Love a Country That Once Betrayed Me.” These movies stick out for the reasons that every minorities group has contributed and sacrifice for the United States of America, to become “free.” Yet, they are all being treated as second-class citizens-denied a “personal freedom”, one way or another. In addition, the “cartoon page” Post -racial America? sums it all issues up, I suppose. The movie “Why I Love a Country That Once Betrayed Me” remains me of the Tuskegee Airmen.…

    For culture to be referenced during the meeting is for the team to research prior to the meeting the student’s family background. The team could incorporate interests of the student within the IEP meeting based of the student’s culture and background.

    Culturally Responsive Classroom Essay

    Generally, if someone is different than us we do not take the time to take a closer look at that person to get to know him or her. We can become afraid of others and thus do not become unified as a community of learners. This can happen with those who look different, act different, or are differently abled. Taking the time to get to know about each student and their cultural background, even if it is only a little different from a peer’s own culture, will help a teacher and other students learn about the unknown and also identify with other students through likenesses and differences. This includes learning about each student’s family and learning about places that live differently from us.…
