Education

Important policies, guidelines, and procedures are mandated concerning the discipline of students who receive special education services. The staff, parents, district and campus administration, and related service providers may all be involved in the decision making process regarding consequences for actions that may be related to the disability. There are procedural processes involved in determining the following: manifestation hearings, the need to conduct a functional behavioral assessment (FBA), and the development and implementation of behavior intervention plans (BIP). IEP team members must also document decisions regarding suspension, expulsion, or a need for a change of placement. Administrators, lead teachers, and other key special education staff are responsible for implementing the policies and disciplinary regulations. Failure to comply with these important regulations can place these individuals and the district in a liable situation. Allocate at least 2 hours in the field to support this field experience. Interview two of the following:  assistant principal and administrator Discuss the role in which the interviewee plays regarding the following: In your role, what types of discipline issues have you found to be the most common with students with disabilities?

How do you play a role with in-school suspension versus out-of-school suspension for students who receive special education services?

Does your role have responsibilities in determining or providing these services or ensuring these services are met? What other additional insight can you offer in the areas of due process, discipline, and student/family rights related to your role and responsibilities?  In 250-500 words, summarize your interviews and reflect upon professional practices related to legal and ethical discipline for students with disabilities.

The Journal Article Critique Why is philosophy critical? It is your identity. Do not settle for lives without any sense of purpose. With an educational philosophy, you will discover what is important to you Locate three (1 for this order) journal articles to help you further explore philosophies.  Articles should be scholarly. Scholarly articles should have most of the following characteristics: Does a scholar write it? Does the author have an advanced degree? (This is not always the case.) Who is the intended audience? Is the purpose of the article to provide research or understanding about a topic? How is it structured? Look at the length, format, headings/sections How is it written? Is the language formal and technical, peer-reviewed? A scholarly, peer-reviewed article will have an objective point of view and a logical, argumentative tone with many citations to published research that supports its claim. What is the publication type? Look for clues that tell you the article is published inside an academic/scholarly journal. Components of a journal article critique: Summary of the article’s major points Critique of the literature review and theoretical framework Critique of the study design and methods Critique of the results and discussion Evidence of critical thinking Conclusion Use textbook as a reference:  Knowles, M.S., Holton, E.F., III, & Swanson, R.A.

In the United States, good higher education is the statistical gateway to financial success and sociopolitical status. While access to good higher education resources is open to all, positions are limited, and some clearly have competitive advantage over others. Parents with the resources can send their children to better funded schools (public or private) with smaller classes, better teachers and counselors, more opportunities for personal development, and ambitious peers. They can hire tutors to help motivate their children to work through educational challenges, send them to SAT prep courses, find them helpful internships with paid placement services, and so on. In addition, such parents are far more likely to be educated themselves and be in position to use personal connections to provide their children with work opportunities that make their child more competitive.
