This document outlines key concepts in special needs education. It defines special needs, special educational needs, and special needs education. Special needs refer to difficulties an individual faces that are significantly different from average. Special educational needs are learning difficulties that interfere with effective learning. Special needs education adapts educational approaches and environments to meet learner needs. It also distinguishes between special/segregated education and inclusive education. The roles of teachers and coordinators in special needs education are described. Concepts like impairment, disability, handicap, rehabilitation, and habilitation are also defined in the context of understanding learners' needs.
Educating learners with special needs is often the most challenging task of a teacher yet also the most neglected by policy makers and politicians. In most developing countries there is little relevant data to identify the number of disabled children, making it impossible to carry out appropriate interventions
This paper examines the evolution of the case law of Special Education in Greece from 1981 to 2018 and the challenge of integrating people with special needs into the school context. Firstly, the definitions of the concepts of disability and special education are defined. In Part 1 are presented the legal framework for the operation of integration training with the guidelines of L.4547/2018 and the UN Convention on Disabled Persons, at the end of the law and the contract respectively criticized. In conclusion, in Part 2 are discussed the theories about special treatment through comparisons and criticisms.

Inclusive education is educating ALL students in age-appropriate general education classes in their neighborhood schools, with high quality instruction, interventions and supports so all students can be successful in the core curriculum. Inclusive schools have a collaborative and respectful school culture where students with disabilities are presumed to be competent, develop positive social relationships with peers, and are fully participating members of the school community. Inclusive education has grown from the belief that education is a basic human right and that it provides the foundation for a more just society. All learners have a right to education, regardless of their individual characteristics or difficulties. Inclusive education initiatives often have a particular focus on those groups, which, in the past, have been excluded from educational opportunities.

the learner (4)
Inclusive education means all children in the same classrooms, in the same schools. It means real learning opportunities for groups who have traditionally been excluded – not only children with disabilities, but speakers of minority languages too. Current content deals with the Module 1 of Inclusive Education as per S.Y.B.Ed. SNDT University Syllabus.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

4. BASIC CONCEPTS OF SPECIAL NEEDS
EDUCATION (SNE)
Special Needs?
Each individual is unique from another in
many ways; height, weight, color, abilities, IQ,
etc. i.e. people are naturally different.
Despite the differences between individuals,
most people do not differ too significantly from
each other. For instance, most people are not
too tall or too short; too fat or too thin; too
clever or too slow.
4
5. SPECIAL NEEDS?
Some other
attributes such
as weight and
height, may pose
varying degrees
of problems to
the concerned
individual,
depending on
their severity.
5
7. SPECIAL NEEDS?
The difficulties,
problems and
challenges that a
person faces because
s/he is too different
from the average
person are referred
to as "special
needs".
7
8. SPECIAL NEEDS?
Some of these Needs
might be problems,
difficulties and
challenges faced by
individuals in
extremely difficult
conditions and
circumstances, such
as extreme poverty,
ignorance, being a
refugee, suffering
from trauma, etc…. 8
9. SPECIAL NEEDS (SNS)?
SNs are
difficulties,
problems and
challenges that a
person faces
because s/he is too
different from the
average person or
subjected to
condition that
make him/her too
different from
others.
9
10. SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SEN)
Any child
who is
experiencing
difficulties
learning
may have
special
needs.
10
11. SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS (SEN)
SEN are those needs/difficulties that
interfere with students’ effective
learning, or diverts them from normal
learning & teaching.
Disabilities are merely one of the many
causes of special educational needs.
The incidence of non-disability-related
special educational needs is far greater
than that of disability-related special
educational needs.
11
12. SPECIAL EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
(SEN)
A student with
special educational
needs cannot learn
properly if the
teacher uses
teaching methods
and aids designed to
benefit the average
student. 12
13. SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION
It is a branch of education concerned
with adapting the educational system
(teaching approaches, environment,
programs, teaching and learning tools)
and adjusting them to fit the needs of
students with special educational needs.
13
14. SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION
It takes a broader view of special
educational needs than special
education.
It involves the meeting of the learning
needs of all learners with special
educational needs.
14
15. SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION
Making it possible for
children with SEN to
benefit fully from
educational provision is
the concern of Special
Needs Education.
These will include
factors in the class, in
the school environment,
in the family, in the
school curriculum, and
so on.
15
16. SPECIAL EDUCATION (SEGREGATION) &
SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION
These terms are
interchangeably used
yet they are different:
Special education is
a separate system of
education for disabled
children, outside the
ordinary school.
Special schools are for
children who have the
same problem, where
there are “expert”
special educators.
16
19. IMPAIRMENT, DISABILITY &
HANDICAP
Impairment
Damage to a part of the body
(organic system) caused by
genetic factors, disease, accident
or other causes, which may
cause disabilities.
Disability
Partial or complete loss of the
use or ability of a certain body
part or organ. This leads to a
reduction or loss of function of
that body part or organ. This
reduced or lost function is what
is called a disability.
19
20. IMPAIRMENT, DISABILITY &
HANDICAP
Disability
Disability is partly a social issue and it
is important to facilitate people with
disability to fully participate in the
socioeconomic life of the society. This
emphasizes a human approach to
disability.
20
21. IMPAIRMENT, DISABILITY &
HANDICAP
Handicap
Problems a person with a disability or
other limitation faces when interacting
with the environment = an
environment-related concept.
A handicapping condition in one’s
environment may not necessarily be
handicapping in another environment.
21
22. UNDERSTANDING THE PROCESS
OF PRODUCTION OF HANDICAP
Impairment, disability,
handicap and barriers to
inclusion can be understood
through the following into
consideration:
Risk factor
Personal factor
Environmental factor and
Life habits

25. RISK FACTOR
A risk factor is an
element belonging to
an individual or
within the
environment that is
likely to provoke a
disease, trauma or
any other disruption
to a person’s integrity
or development. 25
26. RISK FACTOR
Examples: biological
risks (e.g. genetic),
physical environment
risks (e.g. volcano),
social organization
risks (e.g. work
conditions), social and
individual behavior
risks (e.g. use of toxic
substances). 26
28. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS
They can be social (political economic
factors or sociocultural factors) or
physical factors (nature, development).
An environmental factor can contribute
to the accomplishment of life habits
when interacting with personal factors
(facilitator), or can hinder the
accomplishment of a daily activity or
task (obstacle). Examples: attitudes of
people, income, physical access,
technology. 28
29. LIFE HABITS
A daily activity or a social
role valued by the person or
his/her sociocultural
context according to his/her
characteristics (age, sex,
sociocultural identity,…)
which ensure his well-being
in the society throughout
their lifetime.
Example: going to school,… 29
30. REHABILITATION
Services given to
newly disabled people
with the purpose of
restoring some of the
functionality they lost
as a result of their
impairments. This is
done mainly to help
them acquire skills for
independent living.
30
31. HABILITATION
Usually accorded to
people with disabilities
who had no functional
skills in the first place
at the time of acquiring
the disability.
Teaching new skills to
people who never had
them in the first
instance.
31
33. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
SNE TEACHER
Provide support to
the regular teacher
and students
concerning
disability
Teach curriculum-
plus skills the child
may need (e.g.
Braille, sign
language)
33
34. THE RESPONSIBILITIES OF THE
SNE TEACHER
Adapt materials
(example: translation
into Braille)
Assist with providing
extra help in subject
areas where the child
has difficulties.
34
35. SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION
COORDINATOR (SNECO)
A SNECO is a special needs education
teacher who coordinates special needs
education activities within and outside
a specified school community.
35
36. RESOURCE ROOM
A classroom in a school for teaching
children with special educational needs.
It has various learning materials.
This is a room with resources (Human &
Material) for teaching children with
special educational needs.
36
37. RESOURCE ROOM
At times it is used; by teachers and also
for small conferences in relation to
special needs education.
The room is equipped with special
equipment and supplies the child may
need.
This resource room is only used by the
child when there is special help needed!
37
38. After all,
Aren’t children with disabilities/SEN, children first, like
their peers & siblings? Equal opportunities in
education is all they require and no more, no less!
END OF UNIT 1
SNE is also about equal opportunities
