REMINDERS: Your assignment for Dec 7th is to bring your completed Marzano Packet (yes, I extended the due date), bring your 15 minute teach piece (and eveything you need to teach it) to teach your group of NON-content people with a complete written lesson plan in Hunter's format, and your TEKS downloaded from the TEA website. Also remember that your final exam for this portion of your training is in three parts: (1) all 14 Blog entries (we've had 7 so far) answered thoroughly, (2) an assessment over all the class material (Hunter, Erikson, Instructioal strategies, Marzano's work, Special Ed, and anything else we cover in class with a 70% minimum) and (3) a Practice PPR Test (70% minimum). Be ready!

Thanks Scott and Maria for taking care of your blog. See you Dec 7th... ;-)
ReplyDeleteIDEA = Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
ReplyDeleteInclusion allows for students with disabilities to learn in a normal classroom setting with various aids provided.
The regular teacher believes in student success. If there's no support from the regular teacher in the student, then success cannot happen in the regular classroom.
There are services, such as health or speech therapy, and an adequate number of aides available to student's with disabilities.
2 positives of inclusion:
-it provides contact with fellow peers
-and prepares them for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom
1. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
ReplyDelete2. The need to meet all necessary needs of the student with disabilitie while he/she is in a general education classroom setting.
3. Regular education teachers should and do believe that the student can succeed regardless of his or her and their disability.
4. Services needed by the student are available such as health, physical, occupational or speech therapy.
Accommodations to the physical plant and equipment are adequate to meet the student's needs such as toys, building and playground facilities, learning materisls and assistive devices.
5. Special educators are part of the instructional or planning team.
They play a major role in assisting all accomodations and push for socialization for SpEd students in a GenEd classroom setting.
Good evening Bonnie and all fellow class-teachers.
ReplyDelete1. The term IDEA is an acronym for: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Its intention is to help provide a better and overall educational exposure to most students with special needs challenges!!
2. There was a time, I remember all too well, when special education children were completely separated and even isolated from the general school population. In the last decade and a half, Texas legislatures, judges, and education administrators sought to change such bygone practices. Now, under the law, most students are integrated, reasonably, into the standard classroom environment in order to help promote more wholistic education for all students, regardless of personal challenges.
3.Traditionally, only Special Education trained teachers handed challeneged students. That is still the case, but under IDEA regular/standard teachers have levels of students who have limited physical and mental challenges. Teachers who believe that they can set a high calibre of learning and have a positive environment can and do succeed very well at fulfilling IDEA.
4. There are still services such as mental health, speech pathology/therapy, occupational and even vocational outlets are available. There are also phyical accomodations such as ramps, larher doors, restrooms with special needs and showers (on King's campus).
5. There are many positive results and reasons for IDEA and its inclusion into standard classrooms: a) positive reinforcement to all people on campus as it integrates all students; b) it truly helps prepare the students with special needs to face the world head-on as the ideal is to carry the campus life into society; c) it (IDEA) promotes the dignity of our more needy students.
1. IDEA means the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and it refers to required options being available to meet the needs of students with disabilities. It is by the law that children with disabilities are educated with children who are not disabled, unless such an insertion into a mainstream classroom shows to be unsatisfactory. Special services, spaces, and staff are always ready to assist all the disable students at every public school.
ReplyDeleteThis option is proven to be the best solution for the students with disabilities. Years of research have contributed to the knowledge how to insert such cases in a regular classroom.
The ‘inclusion’ means indeed a complete participation of disabled students in a mainstream classroom, with all the necessary services and attention provided to these students by the school.
2. Among five attitudes and beliefs, such as the school personnel and parents are strongly committed to the education to the responsibility for the learning outcomes of students with disabilities, information, and collaboration, is the belief that a regular teacher is strongly convinced that every student can succeed in a classroom indeed. This belief does not represent just a “positive attitude” but a true ‘program’ for all the students, based on the experience and hard work, which are founded on the faith in each individual student. I too simply believe that every student can ‘make it’, with care, assistance, and hard daily work.
3. Among many activities, mentioned in the article, involving paraprofessionals, is for example small groups activity, tutoring, both on individual and group basis, teaching jig-saw in small groups, extra help to the students in needs, special usage of different materials, reorganization, different vocabulary, reduced levels in reading, modified worksheets, or the computer-assisted instruction.
4. “While the regular classroom may not be the best learning environment for every child with a disability, it is highly desirable for ALL WHO CAN BENEFIT. It provides contact with age peers and prepares all students for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom.”
1. IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Students are educated with children who are not disabled. 2. Inclusion for the students is great one needs to have an attitude that all children with special needs can succeed.Having all staff that works with the student and collaboration together with the teacher can help the student succeed.Inclusion is working with special children in the least restricted enviroment with peers of their own age.
ReplyDelete3.One positive bullet to me is that the school personnel are taking responsibility for how my students are learning whether it is in home training including what I use for them in the classroom.
4. I see a lot of team building support and training given by personnel. I have a lot of support by OT and PT plus Speech Therapist.
5. I do believe that working together with the regular ed. teachers and lots of collaboration among teachers and personnel. Teachers should always think about what is best for your student and how we can succeed to make it better for all our special students.
1. What does IDEA stand for?
ReplyDelete- Individual’s with Disabilities Educational Act
2. What is inclusion?
- Is the education of children with disabilities in the regular education classroom.
3. Read the five bullets about Attitudes and Beliefs. What is one positive that you see from the list?
- The regular education teacher believes that the student can succeed. Sometimes regular education teachers become so overwhelmed with special needs children because they require so much attention that they assume these children can’t succeed. Once they are teamed up with a special education teacher, and are given the necessary tools to help these children, they soon begin to understand that they can succeed.
4. List the activities and support systems commonly found where successful inclusion occurs.
- Teachers and paraprofessionals attend on-going trainings that will help them become better teachers by applying new strategies in their classrooms. Different support systems, such as assistive technology, adequate number of personnel, co-teaching and team teaching, health, physical, occupational, and speech therapy are available for children with disabilities.
4. Name two benefits of inclusion mentioned in the article.
- Children with disabilities will have the experience of learning and being surrounded by children without disabilities. Inclusion will help them be prepared for life outside the school environment.
- Regular education students will be more likely to learn how to respect other children who might look or act different than them. Students without disabilities can serve as peer tutors for students with disabilities and help them as needed.

ReplyDelete2. Inclusion refers to including students with disabilities in general education classes.
3. School personnel and the students in the class have been prepared to receive a student with disabilities. I believe this is a positive because it carries over into other aspects of life where people should consider the circumstances of those with disabilities.

1.Individuals with Disdabilities Education Act
ReplyDelete2.Inclusion is the placement of students with disabilities in the regular ed classroom (determined to be their least Restrictive Envirionment) usually with some level of support from special education staff.
3. Read the five bullets about Attitudes and Beliefs. What is one positive that you see from the list? School personnel are committed to accepting responsibility for the learning outcomes of students with disabilities. i think that everyone should have the best interest of those students in mind, not just the special ed teacher.
4.Proper scheduling of services needs to coordinate with the students day, special education teachers are involved in the planning of lessons with the general ed teachers. It is necessary that all school staff follow modifications and work toward the goals of the IEP.
5. Name two benefits of inclusion mentioned in the article. Social benefits from interacting with peers & peer tutoring helps both students study and solidify the concepts taught. Inclusion teaches a level of tolerance and acceptance that every student will carry with them throughout their lives.
1. IDEA is the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion means including students with disabilities in a non-disability classroom.
3. A positive would be that the regular teacher believes the students with disabilities can succeed...the belief needs to start with us as we are the motivators and leaders of the classroom.
4. There are adequate staff development and technical assistance, as well asappropriate policies and procedures for monitoring individual student progress.
5. Two benefits of inclusion are the social aspect and diversity.
Great posts and thanks for taking care of it. Stay warm and dry! See you Monday, Dec 7th!
ReplyDelete1. IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It requires that a continuum of placement options be available to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
ReplyDelete2. Educating students with disabilities in general education classrooms refers to Inclusion.
3. School personnel and the students in the class have been prepared to receive a student with disabblitlites. This is particularly important. I have a student with severe cognitive disabilities who was recently admitted in the school band, however, the first few days were marked with frustration, in part because neither the general education teacher nor the students had been adequately prepared to understand the needs of that student.
4. Attitudes and beliefs such as special education staff are committed to collavorative practice in general education classrooms. Services and physical accommodation to meet the needs of the students. School support is also vital. The principal understands the needs of students with disabilities. (Our class is given access to the cafeteria a few minutes before the bell rings to allow enough time for my students to get their lunch, and that makes life a whole lot easier!) Collaboration between all team members: regular teachers, special education teachers, administration, parents, and service related personnel. Instructional methods require the teachers to have the knowledge and skills needed to select and adapt curricula according to individual student needs.
5. It provides contact with age peers and prepares all students for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom. Students with special needs are not the ones being tested, we as a society are. I honestly believe that the way we treat the exceptional population reflects on the kind of society we are.
1. IDEA stands for The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is when students with disabilities are placed in the classroom with students that dont have disabilites, and they usually have support from a speical ed teacher.
3. I think that "The regular teacher believes that the student can succeed" is a postive statement.
4. Classrooms that successfully include students with disabilities are designed to welcome diversity and to address the individual needs of all students, whether they have disabilities or not. The teachers and paraprofessionals also go to training sessions to prepare for this type of classroom. They also use cooperative learning projects to help the students learn to work together and develop social relationships. Peer tutors provide extra help to students who need it. Students without disabilities are more than willing to help their friends who have disabilities, and vice versa.
5. It provides contact with students their own age and prepares all students for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom. Inclusion not only benfits speical ed students but regular ed as well. In life they will face many diffrent people in diffrent situations. Inclusion helps special ed students interact with their peers, and it helps regular ed students to realize others diffrences and how to work cooperatively with them.
1. IDEA: Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is meeting the needs of students with disabilities in the regular classroom.
3. A Positive: School personnel and the students in the class have been prepared to receive a student with disabilities—My students were more prepared than I was for an autistic student (and his behavioral issues!) than I was. They knew him and grew up with him; they inherently knew how to include him! It is the teachers that needed to be trained.
4. Activities and Support Systems: Modification of the physical space; health/speech/occupational services are provided; administrators have appropriate training; adequate numbers of trained personnel; policies and procedures regarding instruction and evaluation are in place to monitor student progress.
5. Two Benefits of Inclusion: increased community-mindedness among students who will enter the workforce/society (i.e., inclusion promotes “socialization” of all students/helps prepare all students for the diversity of the world). Secondly, it promotes the idea that the individual needs of each student are to be met (this focus on the individual needs fosters and idea of community and the value of an individual and counteracts the idea of school as a “factory” or “business” of producing graduates).
1. IDEA stands for Individuals with disabilities education act.
ReplyDelete2. inclusion is students with disabilities are mainstremed into classrooms with students without disabilities.
3. One positive point is..."The regular teacher believes that the student can succeed".
4. Activities and support systems commonly found where successful inclusion occurs are: All staff involved with these students go through special training to properly teach and care for the needs of these students. Monitoring and adapting instruction for individual students is ongoing. Also, student's learning progress is systematically assessed by the teacher. Finally preorganizers or chapter previews are used to bring out important points in order to make it more evident for the student.
5. Two benefits of inclusion are that it provides contact with age peers and prepares all students for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom.
1. IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is when children with disabilities are included in the general classroom atmosphere.
3. One of the positive things listed that I believe is true is that the regular teacher believes that the student can succeed.

5. Provides contact with peers and prepares all students for the diversity of the world far beyond the classroom.
IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Inclusion means that students with up to moderate disabilities must be included in regular classrooms with other students who don't have learning disabilities. One positive attitude is that school personnel are committed to accepting responsibility for the learning outcomes of students with disabilities.
ReplyDeleteSome successful inclusion activities include teachers get together for dual or co-teaching so that the teacher-student ratio is more favorable. Also, I like the joint lesson planning between the co-teachers. I would love to have input on how to help these kids even more.
The benefits of inclusion, in my opinion, are confidence and the same educational exposure. I think that an ed disabled student would feel confident making the same grades the normal kids get, doing the same work, and interacting with the other kids. I know this because I notice they are a little embarassed to ask to go to CMC. They will come up to my desk and ask to go to CM (or a different name to mask or hide where they want to go)or simply nod thier head or another visual cue meaning they want to go to CMC. Secondly, I thinks its good for the parents to allow the kids to grow up a little. Most of these kids have seen specialists and been on meds since they can remember. Its nice to take off the training wheels and see how they do without the parents making the constant excuses for them. I think they grow up a little and feel a little sense of control and independence. I know it helps their shattered self-confidence. I love calling on them when I know they know the answer. A little taste of success goes a long way. I guess I always pull for the underdog!
IDEA Stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.(IDEA) This act requires that a continuum of of placement options be available to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion: An environment where special ed and regular students can learn in the same classroom with specially trained teachers and paraprofessionals to help with specific learning areas.
3. One Positive I see if the Attitudes and Beiefs all of the people involved have to be on the same page for learning to occur Parents, Students, Teachers Paraprofessionals, and other school staff.
4. Successful inclusion to me involves starting with attituteds and beliefs services and physical accomodations, having school support and collaboration of all involved and making sure all staff have the knowledge and skills needed to meet the students needs.
5. Benefits of Inclusion: The time spent on planning (1-4 hours) per week plus additional planning time for others who work with these students and the adaptation of curricula so that lessons begin at the edge of students knowledge and new material is added at the students pace
1. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is the practice of integrating students with disabilities into regular classes with other students without disabilities.
3. One positive attitude and benefit of inclusion I noticed was, "School personnel are committed to accepting responsibility for the learning outcomes of students with disabilities." Everyone needs to be responsible for all students.
4. Positive attitudes and beliefs, services and physical accommodations, school support, collaboration, and instructional methods are all activities and support systems commonly found with successful inclusion.
5. Inclusion is beneficial for students because it provides contact with age peers and prepares all students for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom.
1. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is when including special needs students in general classroom instruction with a general ed teacher and a paraprofessional or Special Ed. co-teacher.
3. "The regular teacher believes that the student can succeed." This is extremely vital because in most cases, regular ed teachers may just give up on special ed students or feel that they will never reach them.
4. Special educators are part of the instructional or planning team.
Teaming approaches are used for problem-solving and program implementation.
Regular teachers, special education teachers, and other specialists collaborate (e.g., co-teaching, team teaching, teacher assistance teams).
5. (A) Meeting the needs of students with disabilities in the regular classroom. (B)Teachers foster a cooperative learning environment and promote socialization.
1. Individuals with Disablities Education Act
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is when special needs students are in thier least restrictive environment. They are getting thier education with regular ed. students.
3. The regular teacher believes that the student can succeed...It is very important the the regular teacher believes the student can succeed, if not he will fail because the teacher is negative about the situation.
4. The principal understands the needs of students with disabilities.
Adequate numbers of personnel, including aides and support personnel, are available.
Adequate staff development and technical assistance, based on the needs of the school personnel, are being provided.
Also every staff member works as a team to have a successful inclusive learning environment.

3. Positives of inclusion are that all of the staff are all working together to make the best and least restrictive environment for the student.
4. Activities and supports- are that the students are provided aides/paraprofessionals to assist with any needs, technical support, the support of the staff
5. 2 benefits of inclusion are that the students get to experience being with age appropriate peers, and diversity, also(noises, setting, tones, activities).
yuknow- is Mrs. Spear..
ReplyDeleteIDEA standa for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
ReplyDeleteA very positive thing about Inclusion is that there is a committment on the part of many to help special ed students succeed.
Many ways Inclusion students are helped is by
*support staff available to help
*students are monitered and checked
*experts are on the planning team
*Problem solving methods are used
instructional methods are found to inhance learning
teachers are dedicated to making kids successful
Two benefits I have found with inclusion is that it gives self esteem to those students to be in the classroom and it helps teachers be more sensitive to the needs of all students.
1.What does IDEA stand for? IDEA stands for Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. It is to ensure the least restrictive environment for special ed students.
ReplyDelete2.Inclusion is to take a special ed. student and include him into a regular ed classroom part of the day. His homeroom class is still the adaptive ed class but he is able to join, work, and socialize with regular ed students part of the day with modifications.
3.The regular teacher believes that the student can succeed. I like this one because to often regular ed teachers give up to easily on special ed students.
4.The principal understands the needs of students with disabilities. It is so important to have a supportive administrative staff who understands the special needs of the students and campaigns for services at her campus.
5. Two benefits of inclusion are that it provides contact with age peers and prepares all students for the diversity of the world beyond the classroom .
1. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
ReplyDelete2. Inclusion is having a child with special needs (such as physical, psy., behavioral) and attempting to mainstream them into the general population. Some of these students may have a SAIL room to go to for assistance throughout the day.
3. It allows the student to be in the most "normalized" population as possible and does not isolate the student away from the general population.
4. Support from school staff such as teachers, counselors, principals; support from family memebers; support from specialist in areas such as speech; special ed.
5. Provides contact with peers in general population. Prepares them for diversity beyond the classroom.
The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires that a continuum of placement options be available to meet the needs of students with disabilities.
ReplyDeleteInclusion refers to teaching students with disabilities in the same classrooms with students that have no disabilities. It also requires that they are included to the maximum extent that is appropriate by providing as many aids and tools as possible to help them succeed in the regular classroom environment.
i think the one that stood out to me was the first bullet, with out the backing of the teacher the student doesnt have a chance in that classroom. the teacher is all that child has in that class to spark his or her interests and rise that kid to thier potential.. if the teacher has doubts then the kid will have doubts and then causeing the kid to breakdown and close themselves off. it starts and ends with the teacher in this one...
-Positive inclusion requires Support and cooperation from all school staff, parents, and non-disabled students; Providing necessary services for health, physical, occupational, or speech therapy that is required for the special students and also providing any special accommodations to the building facilities, learning materials, and assistive devices, to meet the student’s needs; Making sure that there is an adequate amount of trained staff to accomplish the teaching goals and proper methods, materials, and procedures are followed for teaching, monitoring, and assessing the special students; Being sure that the latest informational teaching materials are supplied to school staff; Insuring that all involved staff meet, coordinate, and plan all activities and procedures that are needed to help the special needs students achieve success; Insuring that all the teachers involved with the special needs students have the knowledge and skills needed to provide the proper curricula and teaching methods to meet the needs of these students and can implement a variety of teaching techniques like, team teaching, cross grade-grouping, peer tutoring, and assistance teams; and finally, Insuring that teachers provide a cooperative learning environment and promote socialization.

IDEA - Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
ReplyDeleteInclusion - the endeavor and practice of including special education students in the mainstream classroom.
As far as a "positive" on the list of attitudes and beliefs, they are all positive, but if I were to pick one "The regular teacher believes that the student can acheive" - this is a concept that applies across the board.
The active support system consists of:
Positive attitudes & beliefs
Services and physical accomodations (as necessary)
School suppport
Collaboration among regular teacher, special education teacher and other professionals
Instructional methods that are adapted to student needs.
Two benefits of inclusion:
It helps the special student developmentally by allowing them to be around age peers.
And (I have seen this personally) it better prepares regular education students with diversity. For lack of a better way to say it, it improves students' comfort levels with individuals who differ from them.

5. Two major benefits of the implimentation of IDEA is greatly benefiting the student with a disability to build confidence, learn skills, and socialize with their peers. Secondly, a very important function of inclusion is to build a sense of tolerance and acceptance of those with disabilities to other students.
IDEA stands for The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Inclusion is having students with disabilities in the classroom with other regular eduction students. As a special education teacher I truly feel that one of the most important attitude and belief bullets is that the regular education teacher believes that the student can succeed. The base of what is commonly found among the successful activities of inclusion include training, planning and support (including collaboration). The purpose of the ARD committee is that it is a committee of well informed professionals that work together to insure the best interests of the student. Two benefits of inclusion mentioned in the article are the benefits to the special education students (high expectations, socialization) and the benefits to the regular education students including developing a greater understanding and tolerance for those that are different (students with disabilities).

It is important that school administrators understand what the students need by ensuring adequate number of personnel, ability for teachers to attend staff development, and policies and procedures that guide teachers.
