Final Map

The text discusses the importance of living a life that exemplifies the teachings of the gospel, emphasizing the need to guide others towards spiritual truth and to help those who may feel lost.

Final Map

We have been commanded to be an example to those around us and when we have the Spirit of Entitlement we are not being a disciple of Christ like we have been instructed to do here at school.

Heavenly Father has created us in His image. Some of His children are born with struggles but they will one day receive a perfect body.

We are have been put on this earth to help others to see the truth of the gospel and to get the lost sheep back to Heavenly Father.

We need to be a good Samaritan to all of our neighbors and even those that we come in contact with. We need to show our report. We have been commanded to love thy neighbor it is so important that we are and, example unto them.

Week 13: Responding to Students Behavior

How Can You Use Positive Behavior Supports to Prevent Discipline Problems?
SCHOOL WIDE STRATEGIES

School wide strategies require a commitment to implementation from every teacher, specialist, and other staff member in the school.

INSTRUCTIONAL EVIRONMENTS CONDUCIVE TO LEARNING

SuFostering Positive Student Interactionsbtopic

Another key to preventing behavior problems is to foster positive student interactions; simply mixing students with and without disabilities in single classrooms may not result in an integrated social system for them.

Effective Teaching Methods

Another critical strategy for preventing behavior problems is to provide instruction that is relevant, intersting, individualized, and active.

Effective Classroom Communication

SubTeachers who treat their students with respect and trust are more successful than other teachers in creating a positive classroom environment in which fewer behavior problems occur, a point emphasized in this video about what students expect from teachers.

Week 12: Evaluating Students Learning

ACCOMMODATIONS AFTER THE TEST
You also may need to use alternative test-grading criteria and using alternatives to traditional letters and numbers
ACCOMMODATIONS DURING THE TEST
If changes in the test construction are intended for a whole, class, they can be incorporated into the original test file before printing.
How Can Accommodations Be Made for Students with Special Needs When Giving Classroom Tests?
You can do a number of things before a test to help students with disabilities.

6. REVIEW your answer by checking that all parts of the question have been answered and edit your essay.

Week 10: Differentiating Instuction

HOW TO MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS IN BASIC SKILL INSTRUCTION?
PROVIDING DIRECT INSTRUCTION AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRACTICE AND REVIEW

Students who are at risk or have disabilities may require more direct instruction and review if they are to acquire basic academic skills.

DECIDING THE RATE OF INTRODUCTION OF NEW SKILLS

Slowing down the rate of skills introduced is an accommodation in the way curriculum is present, but it is not the same things as reducing the amount of curriculum to be learned.

SELECTING AND SEQUENCING EXAMPLES

You can help students make key discriminations between current and previous problem types by using examples that at first require the application of only one particular skill.

TEACHING PRESKILLS

If you are teaching a skill and find that most of your students lack the necessary preskills, teach these preskills directly before teaching the more complex skills.

Week 9: Students with Special Needs Other than Disabilities

WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS AND INSTRUCTIONAL NEEDS OF STUDENTS PROTECTED BY SECTION 504
STUDENTS ELIGIBLE FOR SERVICES UNDER SECTION 504

STUDENTS WITH LEARNING PROBLEMS

A second group of students who may receive support under Section 504 comprises those who experience significant learning problems who are not determined to have a learning disability according to state criteria.

STUDENTS WITH CHRONIC HEALTH OR MEDICAL PROBLEMS

Students with chronic health or medical problems for example, those with communicable or chronic diseases or a student with special needs.

UNDERSTANDING SECTION 504

Second, unlike IDEA, Section 504 does not provide funds to school districts to carry out its requirements.

First, the definition of a disability in Section 504 is considerably broader than it is IDEA.

Week 7: Assessing Students Needs

HOW ARE CURRICULUM-BASED PROBES USED TO MAKE SPECIAL EDUCATION DECISIONS?
MONITORING STUDENT PROGRESS AND INSTURCTIONAL EVALUATION

Although education has come a long way in terms of establishing a profession based on evidence-based practices, predicting whether a given practice will work for a given student in a particular situation is still difficult.

SKILL MASTERY AND CURRICULUM PLACEMENT

Inclusive education involves the use of a variety of instructional grouping arrangements.

FLUENCY AND ACCURACY IN DIAGNOSIS

CBA probes also can help teachers diagnose specific skills deficits.

PEER COMPARISON IN SCREENING

The key question involved in screening is whether a student is different enough from his peers on important skills in a given academic area to indicate that some form of accommodation is necessary.

WHAT KIND OF CURRICULUM-BASED ASSESSMENTS CAN YOU CREATE FOR YOUR STUDENTS?
CURRICULUM-BASED ASSESSMENTS IN CONTENT AREAS

Measures of Independent Learning Skills

These skills, often referred to as learning strategies, include note taking, textbook reading, test taking, written expression, and time management.

Assessments of Prerequisite Skills

4. Administer the measure to your current class.

3. Develop a measure to assess the identified skills.

2. Identify entry-level content or skills needed. Be certain these are not skills for which a bypass strategy is possible.

1. Identify critical content learning or skills for your class.

PROBES OF BASIC ACADEMIC SKILLS

3. Remember, curriculum-based assessment has been used successfully by teachers for many years.

3. Even though CBA is considered informal assessment, it is utility in helping to make instructional decisions depends on the teacher's keeping the difficulty level of the assessment items, as well as the administration and scoring procedures, consistent over time.

2. Select skills representing a sample of skills that are taught, not necessarily every skill.

1. Identify academic skills that are essential in your particular course or grade.

WHAT INFORMATION SOURCES ARE USED IN PROGRAMMING FOR STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS?
CURRICULUM-BASED ASSESSMENTS

Is an effective option that in many instances can be an alternative to standardized tests.

ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENTS

3. Is the assessment aligned with state standards?

The skills assessed should have a meaningful relationship to content areas covered by the standards, such as reading and math.

2. In the focus of the assessment on authentic skills and on assessing experiences in community or real-life environments?

For a younger child, the community might mean the school, playground, or home; for a high school senior, the community might mean the store, bank, or other commercial or public sites.

1. What are the district's eligibility requirements for alternative assessments?

Keep in mind that only a small number of students have disabilities so severe that they are eligible.

PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTS

5. Keep in mind that the primary purpose of psychological tests is to establish possible explanations for particular learning, behavioral, or social and emotional problems.

4. Be sure to check for possible cultural bias.

3. Be sure to check the technical adequacy of the psychological tests included in your report.

2. In the event of discrepancies between psychological reports and your experience, do not automatically discount your experience.

1. Do not be intimidated by the sometimes generous quantity of technical terms and jargon.

STANDARDIZED ACHIEVEMENT TESTS

Individually Administered Tests

A special education teacher or the school psychologist usually gives individually administered diagnostic tests as a part of student's case study evaluation.

Group-Administered Tests

Two major types of standardized achievement tests are group-administered and individually administered diagnostic test.

HIGH-STAKES ACHIEVEMENT TESTS

A key requirement of IDEA is that students with disabilities have maximum access to the general education curriculum.

HOW DO YOUR STUDENTS ASSESSMENTS CONTRIBUTE TO SPECIAL EDUCATION DECISIONS?
PROGRAM EVALUATION

Involve whether a student's special education program should be terminated, continued as is, or modified.

INSTRUCTIONAL EVALUATION

Involve whether to continue or change instructional procedures that have been initiated with students.

CURRICULUM PLACEMENT

Involves deciding at what level to being instruction for students.

PROGRAM PLACEMENT

Decision involves the setting in which a student's special education services take place-for example in general education classroom, resource room, or separate special education classroom.

DIAGNOSIS

Concerns eligibility for special education services.

SCREENING

Involves the decision about whether a student's performance differs enough from that of his or her peers to merit changes in instruction, or, eventually, more in-depth assessments to determine the presence of a disability.

Week 6: Students with High-Incident Disabilities

WHO ARE STUDENTS WITH LEARNING AND BEHAVIORAL DISABILITIES AND WHAT ARE THEIR ACADEMIC NEEDS?
LEARNING SKILLS

ACADEMIC SURVIVAL SKILLS

Students with learning and behavioral disabilities also may have problems in the area of academic: survival skills. They include: attending school regularly, being organized, completing tasks in and out of interpersonal skills with peers and adults.

INDEPENDENT LEARNING

These students can be called passive learners, meaning that they do not believe in their own abilities.

MOTOR SKILLS

Students may have motor coordination and fine motor impairments that have learning and behavioral disabilities.

REASONING SKILLS

Students may lack the necessary reasoning skills for success in school. Important reasoning skills include such as: reading comprehension generalization, adequate background and vocabulary knowledge, induction, and sequencing.

ORGANIZATION AND INTERPERETING INFORMATION

Even though students with learning and behavioral disabilities they may have adequate hearing a visual skills by they still may have trouble organizing and interpreting oral and visual information.

ATTENTION

Students may have a harder time coming to attention or understanding task requirements.

MATH SKILLS

This can be problematic for students with learning and behavioral disabilities, common problems include the following: 1. Problems with a spatial organization. 2. Lack of alertness to visual detail. 3. Procedural errors. 4. Failure to shift mindset from one problem to another. 5. Difficulty forming numbers correctly. 6. Difficulty with memory. 7. Problems with mathematical judgment and reasoning. 8. Problems with mathematical language.

WRITTEN LANGUAGE SKILLS

This includes handwriting, spelling, and written expression that children with learning and behavioral disabilities struggle with.

READING SKILLS

Students with learning and behavioral disabilities have two major types of reading problems: decoding and comprehension.

They have a right to challenge the record and have hearing if the school dies not change the record (amend). If still no change comes from the hearing, the parent has the right to insert a statement into the record (appeal).

Parents and eligible children have a right to inspect and review the educational record.

CASE LAW: A suit is brought against one party by another. Usually, the court imposes a penalty, but, occasionally, the court will interpret the law in a precedent-setting. This precedent is binding on the jurisdiction and often on the Nation.

Comes into effect District is found justified in removing a child from regular education.

If placement cannot be satisfactory achieved in regular classroom, consider whether the proposed special education pavement will provide opportunities

Second Prong: Ask if the school district has included the child to the maximum extent possible in the regular classroom.

What are the costs supplementary aides and services (Holland case (1992))

3. Possible negative effect of inclusion of child for the education of other student in class.

2. Evaluate the academic and nonacademic benefits available to the child in regular classroom with supplemental aides and services as compared to benefits from special ed classrooms.

1. Has the district made reasonable efforts to accommodate the child?

Three factors to consider under first pong:

First Prong: Whether the child's placement in regular education environment can be satisfactorily achieved with supplementary aides or services.

Week 3: The Foundation for Education Students with Special Needs

Students With Low-Incidence Disabilities
What are Low-Incident Disabilities?

3. Students with low-incidence disabilities need the same type of attention from you that other students do.

2. Most students with low-incidence disabilities have received some type of special education service for most of their lives.

1. Students with low-incidence disabilities together make up less than 20%

Additional Provisions of IDEA: This is not something that is set in stone, this changes frequently with all of the court cases.
Federal Special Education Laws: This law has categories for which explains categories of disabilities that make children eligible for special education programs.
Core Principles of IDEA: IDEA has been revised many times in the past four decades to increase the range of services that can help students with disabilities.

Zero Reject/ Child Find

A child cannot be turned away from getting an education just because they have a disability. A school district has the responsibility to appropriately educate the child.

Due Process

Informal and formal procedures need to be followed when there is any dispute about the students eligibility for special education, educational placement, or services that a child may receive.

Nondiscriminatory Evaluations

Instruments that are used to assess children should not discriminate on the basis of race, culture, or disability.

Individual Education

Assessments that are given to children with disabilities. Teachers are then able to use these assessments to tailor the material to the child.

Least Restrictive Environment

Children with disabilities are able to be in classrooms with other peers that don't have disabilities. They are able to get the same education experience as them.

Free Appropriate Public Education FAPE

Student have the opportunity to attend public schools, they are able to receive an education that is tailored to their needs specifically.

What is Special Education?
Special Education Component: Special Education is made up of three components, they are, Specially Designed Instruction, Related Services, and Supplementary Aids and Services.

Supplementary Aids and Services

Children with disabilities are given the opportunity to be in a class with all of their peers. In these classrooms teachers and staff with make accommodations and modifications that are made to ensure that the child is safe and comfortable.

Related Services

Children will receive assistance that is beyond their academic instructions, these services may be, speech and language therapy, physical therapy, counseling, adapted physical education. These are services that teachers in class cannot give the children help with.

Special Designed Instruction

This is tailored to students and hold documents to help teachers, teach children better. These files are very important they tell teachers a lot about the child and their habits.

Week 2: As Children of God we Follow the Example of Christ

How to use the Holy Ghost in our lives.
Just be good keep the commandments and the Spirit will guide you.

Spirit of Entitlement

"In the authority of the Holy Apostleship, I now raise a voice of warning, and I make a solemn promise. If the day ever were to come that intellectual arrogance, a lack of appreciation, and a Spirit of demanding entitlement, take root on this campus among the students, the faculty, the employees, the administration, or the community of Rexburg, then in that day the Spirit of Ricks will well be on the way to being extinguished."

Be Good and Live the Commandments

"People who do what is right have integrity. They do what they say they will do. They live the standards. They have committed to live, and are firm in keeping the covenants they have made."

Help carry some of the burdens.
Love those that are struggling.

Restored to Perfect Frame

"That day of healing will come. Bodies which are deformed and minds that are warped will be made perfect. In the meantime, we must look after those who wait by the pool of Bethesda."

No Room for Guilt

"The idea that all suffering is somehow the direct result of sin has been taught since ancient times. It is false doctrine. That notion was even accepted by some of the early disciples until the Lord corrected them."

Jesus Christ is our greatest example
Love those that are lost.

Some are Lost because they are weary.

"The prophet Isaiah proclaimed that the Lord “giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.”"

True Disciples of Jesus Christ have always been concerned for the one.

"We are commanded to seek out those who are lost. We are to be our brother’s keeper. We cannot neglect this commission given by our Savior. We must be concerned for the one."

Love thy Neighbor
Be like the Good Samaritan

Showing support to everyone

“We’ve been overwhelmed by support. We’re not Mormon, but the local ward here has been all over us with meals and help and words of comfort. It’s been a total outpouring of love, and we appreciate it”

The parable of the Good Samaritan

"There was considerable antipathy between the Jews and the Samaritans at the time of Christ. Under normal circumstances, these two groups avoided association with each other. It would still be a good, instructive parable if the man who fell among thieves had been rescued by a brother Jew."
