A philosophy of respect looks a lot different in the everyday world of infant-toddler care and education. I observed in an infant-toddler environment, looking for examples of the “Ten Principles Based on a Philosophy of Respect,” and reflecting on how the principles work to support young children’s development and learning. I was also able to interview my Host Teacher Mary regarding the ways she utilizes these ten principles in the infant-toddler environment. The first of the Ten Principles…

emotional functioning was also collected to determine how these factors may be contributing to his overall functioning in school. The Behavior Assessment System for Children, Third Edition (BASC-3) teacher report (TRS) was administered to Jackson’s special education teacher Dominic Fontana. A clinically significant score (T=70 or higher) suggest a high level of maladjustment. Scores in the At-Risk ranger (T=60-90) may identify a significant problem that may not be severe enough to require…

The work involves working with children or teenagers, on a one-to-one basis in small groups, who may have physical, visual, hearing or behavioural, emotional, or learning difficulties and who therefore have special educational needs.

So, I assume that the implementation intervention fidelity is a significant factor that may impact on the gaps between an intervention and outcomes. In general, implementation intervention fidelity is a key component for the well-structured implementation of evidence-based interventions in the real world settings. Since…

1 The Nature All my life through, the new sights of Nature made me rejoice like a child. – Marie Curie (1867-1934), the Polish-French physicist chemist famous for her pioneering research on radioactivity. She was the first person honored with two Nobel Prizes in physics and chemistry. All that is beautiful, delightful and affable in this world, the silence of the night, the loveliness of the morning, the beauty of the day, the melody of the breeze, the fragrances of the flower, the precious…

On February 6, Lydia Gagnon shared her experience with a disabled student. It surprised me to hear that the disability was blindness. The ministry of Education favors the integration of special needs students. However, I never thought it meant blind children. It made me realize that I could encounter a similar situation too. Similarly to Lydia, I use a lot of visuals. I appreciated that she shared her ideas of using real objects to facilitate the child’s learning. She said that she asked the…
