Integrate tools and make the class interdisciplinary is not easy. According to Barton and Smith “Teachers have many decisions to make as they plan interdisciplinary outlines. One important decision revolves around the selection of the content to be covered. The primary issue to consider when selecting content is simple: Children have to learn something worth knowing.” Teachers have to think carefully and plan all activities to enrich student’s knowledge, and at the end measure their level of understanding. This idea will not cause additional costs because the tools will be the same students have in the classroom. Only one detail has to be change and is the schedule for the in class support teacher. In this case will be a Special Education teacher who will bring extra help to students in the classroom.

    Data Collection All qualitative studies share main principles of data collection (Merriam, 1998, 2009). “Qualitative researchers use three main techniques to collect and analyze their data: observing people as they go about their daily activities and recording what they do; conducting in-depth interviews with people about their ideas, their opinions, and their experiences; and analyzing documents or other forms of communication” (Fraenkel & Wallen, 2009, p.440). I will use interviews and observations to collect data. Sources of data will include prescheduled interviews with both teachers and three non-participatory observations on three different days. Data collection of this multiple case study will follow a systematic approach that will…

    This qualitative case study addresses the problem of rising physical inactivity levels and the challenges that state and local agencies have in implementing, supporting, monitoring, and evaluating a comprehensive state physical activity plan. In 2010, statewide data collected for Nebraska using the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) indicated that, “nearly 2 in 3 adults were overweight or obese” and “nearly 1 in 3 adults did not meet recommended guidelines for physical activity” (DHHS, 2010). In 2011, statewide partners revised The Nebraska Physical Activity and Nutrition State Plan (NPANSP) as part of a long-term initiative to manage rising obesity levels in adults and youth. In an effort to provide evidence-based public health strategies to enhance the policy and built environment, the NPANSP was framed around the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)’s health priority goals and developed strategies using The Community Guide provided by the Community Prevention…

    Bradley, your post this week was very insightful, and you provided great examples to support your premise. I like how you identified that some people lack empathy for what law enforcement officers’ face when they do not possess adequate equipment. Additionally, I do not think the public understands that if the equipment were not transferred to a law enforcement agency then it would simply be destroyed. I’d like to believe when this program is utilized that it permits law enforcement agencies to establish other community outreach programs.…

    Unless services cannot be successful in the general education classroom, they should be with their nondisabled peers 80 to 90 percent of the time (Department of Education, 2004). Articles and colleagues criticize special education for limiting students, through the “parallel structure” of special education (Artiles et al., 2006, p. 261). Traditionally special education teachers had their own separate classroom where the student would go to for the whole or part of the school day and this is still a basic set up for special education. Now special education teachers spend part of their time in the general education classroom either helping just their specific students or teaching alongside the teacher. All students in the classroom can benefit from co-teaching, but when implemented effectively it is shown to have the greatest benefit for special education students.…

    Currently there are 4.4 million students in the United States attending public schools and that are enrolled in English language learner programs because their first language presents a learning problem in the regular classroom (Chin, 2015). Over the years, there has been much debate on how to address the education limitations and the success of programs for students with limited English language proficiency (Arizona Department of Education, 2004). Lack of knowledge in English creates a low academic performance in all subjects and a higher high school drop out rate among English language learners (Guglielmi, 2012). To address the needs of English as Second Language (ESL) learners, two programs exist. Bilingual and ESL are two programs present…

    Art education is not something that should not exceed the budget of other schools that cannot afford it and instead be shared equally among all types of public schools. Art education is seems to benefit a young child dramatically, “The arts also contribute to the education of young children by helping them realize the breadth of human experience, see the different ways humans express sentiments and convey meaning, and develop subtle and complex forms of thinking” (Sousa) Although the arts are often thought of as separate subjects, like chemistry or algebra, they really are a collection of skills and thought processes that transcend all areas of human engagement. Art has its own form of educational value and students develop better interaction skills with their peers and the public. Being able to develop a bond with peers with their same interest’s help students open up and become less shy thus helping them build a more sophisticated way of thinking.…
