I believe students receive much more than just an education from being in general Ed classroom. They learn social skills, benefit from a variety of different teaching strategies, and can also build their self-confidence. I also believe there are some that are unable to adapt in a general education classroom and it hold them back from their education. I have worked in both self-contained and regular classrooms. I have also seen students at grade level be put into general Ed classes and not able…

female cannot function on the same level as her peers, but she does not have a physical handicap condition. The family background of the student includes learning disability conditions. The child has three older siblings that were a part of the Special Education program as well. The mother and father of the child are not together. However, they co-parent in order to care for their child properly. The child is from a lower class family that work minimum wage jobs. The mother is currently…

Every student with a disability is unique. They all present with various necessities, accommodations, and modifications. One must qualify to receive special education services as special education eligibility is assured by the Individuals with Disability Act (IDEA, 2004). To access the core curriculum in a general education setting, a student with a disability can achieve educational benefit by using supports and other related services (optional). The student’s emotional and academic needs will…

Standard #5: Application of Content The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving related to authentic local and global issues. During my student teaching experience, I always tried make learning connect to my students lives. I did this by working hard to get to know my students.

am providing services while learning. The name of the organization I am working with over the spring break is identified as Special Olympics. Special Olympics has a lot of remarkable individuals, the only entity different about these individuals are their mental capacity or physical impairment; their learning performances are slightly lower than the average person. Can special needs individual obtain information and are they considered to be “normal”? These are questions that have crossed many…

November of 2016 I walked into Buckland Elementary for the first time unsure of what to expect. All I knew was that I was required to gain fifteen hours of practicum hours observing Mrs. Kirby Parker and her precious children in her special education classroom. Special educators, “work collaboratively with general educators and share the responsibility for ensuring that students with identified disabilities will meet with success. ALL students can learn when instruction is geared to their…

I found a very interesting article in the Capella library. The article is called “Nature vs. Nurture in Special Education”. The article states that “schools are organized as if nature has already won the contest (Marks, S. U. (2009)). This is so significant with school systems today, because it is the truth. A child who has a disability is almost always put into a special education class. They are not even given the opportunity to show that they are able to learn without extra supports. School…

ages of six and seven. In total, there are fourteen boys and eight girls in this classroom. It was also noted that none of the students in this classroom are reported as being an English Language Learner.

The first law that is responsible for making it possible for children who need early intervention or special education is the 14th amendment that made it possible for every child to…
