Editor's Notes
- There are many different children in special education. According to the US Department of Education in 2016 it was said that 6.1 million school age children have disabilities that make them eligible for services. All students that have disabilities that make them eligible for special education services are entitled to specially designed education. There are also different services that are provided outside of academics that we consider “Related services”. Then there are accommodations such as additional working time or untimed tests, and learning modifications that are available to your student. We are here to ensure that they succeed.
- The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act is a law that was put into effect that allows free public education to children with disabilities. It places students into the least restrictive environment possible and allows for individual education, and non discriminatory evaluations. It allows these students due process or fair education, and also seeks out students that could be considered special needs. (Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D., 2018).
- The Child Find Mandate is essential to the success of the special education programs. This is a mandate that states that children must be proactively located, meaning the schools must do everything in their power to assist a child or find a child that may be special needs and get them the help that they need. This is a big part of the Every Student Succeeds Act. Schools can proactively find students by billboards, testing, or advertising. (Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D., 2018).
- The Section 504 Vocational Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is responsible for our 504 plans. These 504 plans help to ensure students have equal opportunities in full range school and education. These plans do not discriminate and they help the students get the help that they need. These 504 plans are individualized for the student that lays out what they need to succeed, whether it be additional time, or what behaviors they may present it is a plan that is put in place by both the school and the parents. The school and teachers are required to follow these plans. (Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D., 2018).
- As educators in the special education department, we are expected to use evidence-based practices to assess your students, we are expected to collaborate with other teachers, you as parents, and also our paraprofessionals that help your child throughout the day. We are also expected to provide inclusiveness in both the physical, social and instructional aspect. (Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D., 2018).
- There are several different parts in the code of ethics, the most important though would be providing the highest possible learning outcomes and maintaining professionalism and competence while protecting your students and their needs. (Friend, M., & Bursuck, W. D., 2018).
- Advocating to meet the needs of all learners means listening to your students and focusing, maintaining eye contact. Helping students find and reach their long term goals and knowing their rights and fighting for them, getting support when it is necessary and when they need it. (Fink, K., 2020)
- Identifying students strengths and helping them find new strengths is vital in promoting learners. Having a positive mindset and teaching with the mindset that all students are completely capable will help to teach at a grade level and will help push students. Teaching based on existing skills and knowledge is helpful, and relating what students are learning with their lives helps to promote learning. (Six Ways to Help Students Reach Their Potential., n.d.).
- Practices to demonstrate respect with different home lives, and cultures comes from knowing your students, allowing children a safe space to talk by having a bully free or judgement free zone, harboring positive home and school relationships by being communicative with parents, and have multicultural lessons for cross cultural understanding.
