This document discusses the challenges foster youth face in the education system and the responsibilities of different stakeholders to ensure their proper and timely enrollment and education. It notes that foster youth often experience school changes, lack of records, and higher rates of disabilities than documented. They are also more likely to have lower grades, fewer extracurricular activities, and behavioral/developmental issues due to trauma. The document outlines the responsibilities of social workers/probation officers, school districts, and foster homes to collaborate on promptly enrolling foster youth, obtaining records, providing appropriate services, and appointing surrogate parents to advocate for foster youth in the IEP process when parents are unavailable.
The document outlines Leicester City's 7-stage process for statutory assessment and Education, Health and Care (EHC) plans for children with special educational needs. The process involves: 1) a request for assessment; 2) determining if an assessment is needed; 3) gathering information; 4) an integrated assessment meeting; 5) a resource allocation panel decision; 6) finalizing the EHC plan; and 7) an implementation meeting. The local authority aims to complete the process within 20 weeks to ensure children's needs are properly assessed and addressed through EHC plans.
The Special Educational Needs system changed radically in September 2014.
Six months later, how have things altered for families? Has the vision of the Department for Education been realised?
This presentation takes a look at some of the changes and some of the problems that have occurred.
This presentation from Special Needs Jungle is based on the Children & Families' Act, The SEND Code of Practice and includes informed opinion on the reforms.
The document provides an overview of the planning and placement team (PPT) process for special education. It discusses referral and evaluation for special education, developing an individualized education program (IEP), placement considerations, and the roles and responsibilities of parents and the school at PPT meetings. Transition from early intervention programs like Birth to Three to preschool is also covered.
This document summarizes parents' rights under FERPA to access and request amendments to their child's educational records. It also provides guidance on maintaining confidentiality of student records, the special education referral process, IEP team composition and functions, and restrictions on shortening the school day for students with disabilities. Key points include that parents have a right to inspect their child's records, request amendments, and must provide consent before records are shared. Special education records require additional security measures and are retained for five years after a student exits. All decisions regarding students with disabilities must go through the IEP team.
The inspection found the childminder's service to be outstanding. She is highly qualified and dedicated to continuous learning. Children make excellent progress in her care. While resources could be expanded to further support imagination, the childminder otherwise provides an exemplary early learning environment through her meticulous self-evaluation, rich curriculum, and strong relationships with children and their families.

Protocol for Identifying a GATE or Special Education Student
In researching the procedures to identify a GATE or Special Education Student I located the following information.
First the child must be identified of possibly "needing special education or some other related service". Children can't just be assessed, the permission of the parent or guardian must be given before any testing can be done. The IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) gives them 60 days to complete evaluations. Once the child has been evaluated there are questions that have to be answered that relates only to the evaluation of that one child not another. The questions consist of whether or not the child has a disability that requires supervision, their specific educational needs, and what appropriate services are available to assist this child specifically? The parents can agree or not with the findings. The parents and professionals that are qualified in this area take a look at the final assessment and if assistance is found to be needed and accepted then there will be an IEP (Individualized Education Program) developed for this specific child. The meeting consist of school staff, parents, and parental support that may have more knowledge on the situation. Once the IEP is written services are then provided to assist the child. The IEP is assessed again at a later date to see if a service needs to be added or taken away.

In education, there are various intelligence tests available to determine if a student needs special services for being gifted or for other specialized services. However, before these services can be established there are protocols that must be followed to see if the student qualifies. For this discussion, look up the procedures in a nearby district relating to qualifying a student for GATE or Special Education.
What are these procedures?
A child may be diagnosed with a disability by either their teacher at a school district or their pediatrician. Either way once a child is diagnosed by one or the other, does not guarantee of services under the IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act). The parents, teachers and/or pediatrician needs to see if the child is not progressing academically or cognitively if not in school yet ...

The document provides information about special education laws and procedures for families. It discusses:
- The purpose of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is to ensure students with disabilities have access to a free and appropriate public education.
- The evaluation process, including consent forms, timelines, assessments, and team meetings to determine eligibility.
- Eligibility is determined by whether the student has a disability, is not making effective progress due to the disability, and requires specialized instruction.
- Key terms like "effective progress" and "specialized instruction" are defined.
The document provides frequently asked questions about gifted screening and referral in the Atlanta Public School System. It outlines a three-part screening process: 1) Automatic screening using test scores, 2) Classroom screening using a gifted behaviors checklist, and 3) Parental referral. If a student is nominated through screening, testing is conducted to determine eligibility for gifted services. Eligible elementary students begin receiving gifted segments weekly, while middle and high school students take advanced courses. The benefits of the gifted program include classes that extend and enrich the curriculum for intellectually gifted students.
Presented by the Parent Training and Information Center at the Federation for Children with Special Needs, this slideshow is designed to walk you through the special education process as it unfolds, from the application procedure to the dispute resolution process. Understanding this material will help you to better collaborate with your IEP team and to become a better advocate for your child.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.

Editor's Notes
Schools are required to locate, identify and evaluate all children with disabilities from birth through age 21. The Child Find mandate applies to all children who reside within a State, including children who attend private schools and public schools, highly mobile children, migrant children, homeless children, and children who are wards of the state. (20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(3))
This includes all children who are suspected of having a disability, including children who receive passing grades and are "advancing from grade to grade." (34 CFR 300.111(c)) The law does not require children to be "labeled" or classified by their disability. (20 U.S.C. 1412(a)(3)(B); 34 CFR 300.111(d)).
Extent of evaluation: in conducting evaluations, school officials must use a variety of assessment tools and strategies to gather relevant functional, developmental, and academic information, including information provided by the parent .. In all areas of the suspected disability
