Educational Psychology

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: All things considered, there is a lot to learn about teaching, and much of it comes from educational psychology. Teaching as a career has distinctive features now that did not figure as prominently in its profile a generation ago. The features make it more exciting in some ways, as well as more challenging, than in the past. From a teacher’s point of view, the changes mean learning knowledge and skills—and practicing them—that were less important in
teachers’ repertoires in earlier times. But the knowledge and skills are quite learnable. Educational psychology, and this text, will get you started at that task.

Looking for support

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:

An elementary special education teacher talks about finding support in challenging situations. Kira Martin has had more different experiences in her six years of teaching than some people have in a whole career. She taught Language Arts for the Peace Corps in Granada for two years. On returning to the United States, she taught “cross-categorical special education” in first through third grades both as a resource teacher and in a self-contained classroom. The following year she taught sixth-grade students with learning disabilities, then math and social studies to academically gifted sixth graders. After taking a year off to get her master’s degree, she moved to “a straight fourth grade classroom,” and finally to fourth grade AIG Academically and Intellectually Gifted math.”

Not all of these situations have been ideal, but in every school she was able to build a support network that helped her to grow professionally and personally.

A Module for the Administration of Homebound Instructional Programs

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: Special program and other school administrators regularly confront the issue of whether students under their charge are entitled to receive homebound instruction and if so, what procedures and criteria they should apply in coming to a proper decision. Where a student is entitled to such services the administrator must decide what subjects must be taught as well as their duration, intensity and frequency. Although virtually all state legislatures have addressed a student’s right to receive homebound instruction the right to such benefits may intersect with those arising under federal laws such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act {IDEA/2004), the Rehabilitation Act (§ 504) and the Americans with Disabilities Act, thereby creating confusion for many administrators. In June, 2007 the Virginia Department of Education (“VDE”) promulgated Instructional Services guidelines implementing the state’s statutory requirements. Since the problems of homebound instruction school administrators face are substantially similar across jurisdictions the 2007 VDE guidelines provide an outstanding pedagogical vehicle for educational leadership and policy students in Virginia to practice making decisions about educational entitlements in a safe way. Moreover, it affords them an opportunity to develop analytical and interpretive skills which are transferable to other contexts. It also affords the students an opportunity to consider how local policies are developed and the importance of including the right stakeholders in that process. The author has designed a series of fact patterns where students are asked to apply the VDE guidelines to those patterns. The patterns and their questions can easily be adapted to fit the requirements of other state jurisdictions.

Preparation and Leadership in Special Education

(Complete Item Description)

Abstract:: With over six million school age children in special education programs, educators are concerned about delivering special education services in an effective manner. A qualitative study was designed to investigate practitioners’ perspectives on the effectiveness of implementing special education programs in the Midwest region of the United States. The data collected indicate a need for a concentrated effort to prepare principals in the area of special education and the need for more leadership with the implementation of special education programs.
