Editor's Notes
- #2 This is the test video for the Module 3 Inquiry project by Kenzie Gatewood.
- #3 While in Chicago, I observed a number of occurrences and practices that evoked questions.
- #4 Beginning at King College Preparatory school I noticed that the majority of the special education students were separated into isolated classrooms not only by special and regular education but by disability as well. They had a room for ranging levels of autism spectrum disorder students, as well as a room for students with cognitive impairments, neither of which appeared to be merged with the rest of the student body.
- #5 As we moved from King College Prep into Canton Middle school and Shoesmith elementary I once again noticed a discrepancy in the special education programs. First, all of the students in the special education category were students of African American decent, and few of them had a specific diagnosis in terms of their disability. For instance, one of the young boys was in the special education program because he was behind in reading. These observations led me to the question, Why are so their so many special education students in the Chicago area? And why of those students are the majority of African American decent?
