Book excerpt: The "29th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2007" follows the 2006--i.e., the 28th annual report--in sequence. The "29th Annual Report to Congress" is, however, the first to have three volumes. In the 28th and earlier editions, volume 2 consisted of data tables and data notes for Parts B and C. With the 2007 or 29th annual report, volume 2 now contains only Part B data tables and data notes and volume 3 contains data tables and data notes for Part C. Volume 1 presents a picture of how children and students are being served under the law nationwide and provides profiles of individual states' special education environments and early intervention settings. It also includes tables of states rank-ordered by their reported data on exiting, dropouts, educational environments and early intervention services and settings. Lastly, it contains abstracts of research projects funded by the National Center for Special Education Research and other studies and evaluations for assessing implementation and effectiveness of key programs and activities supported under the "Individuals with Disabilities Education Act" ("IDEA"). Volumes 2 and 3 of the "29th Annual Report to Congress" consist of tables that also were compiled from data provided by the states. Such data are required under the law. In fact, the collection and analysis of these data are the primary means by which the Office of Special Education Programs monitors activities under "IDEA", thereby helping to ensure the free and appropriate public education of all children with disabilities. Data tables in volume 2 cover a multitude of topics regarding states' implementation of "IDEA", Part B; data tables in volume 3 cover a multitude of topics regarding states' implementation of "IDEA", Part C. In the analysis of data presented in volume 1, there are frequent references to specific tables in volumes 2 and 3 as sources. In that sense, volumes 2 and 3 can be used as appendices to volume 1. However, the tables in volumes 2 and 3 provide much more extensive data than are referenced in volume 1. As such, they may be used by anyone interested in doing further analysis of state activities funded under "IDEA". Appendices include: (1) Data Notes for "IDEA", Part B; (2) Population Data; (3) Enrollment Data; (4) 2004 Child Count by Disability and Race/Ethnicity; and (5) Budget Data. (Contains 180 tables and 6 footnotes.) [For related reports, see "29th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2007.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 476 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The "29th Annual Report to Congress on the Implementation of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, 2007" focuses on key state performance data in accordance with recommendations of the President's Commission on Excellence in Special Education. Volume 1 focuses on the children and students being served under "IDEA" ("Individuals with Disabilities Education Act") nationally and provides profiles of individual states' special education environments. Volume 2 of the report contains the state-reported data tables for "IDEA", Part B, developed from the Office of Special Education Programs' (OSEP's) Data Analysis System (DANS). Part B of "IDEA" provides funds to states to assist them in providing a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to children ages 3 through 21 with disabilities who are in need of special education and related services. Volume 3 of the report contains the state-reported data tables for "IDEA", Part C. Part C provides funds to states to assist them in developing and implementing statewide, comprehensive, coordinated, multidisciplinary interagency systems to make early intervention services available to all children from birth to age 3 with disabilities and their families. This "29th Annual Report to Congress" follows the 2006--i.e., the 28th annual report--in sequence and continues to focus on "IDEA" results and accountability. It is the first annual report to have three volumes. In the 28th and previous editions, volume 2 consisted of data tables and data notes for Parts B and C. With the 2007 or 29th annual report, volume 2 now contains only Part B data tables and data notes, and volume 3 contains data tables and data notes for Part C. This division was done to accommodate the increased length of the report. Volume 1 of the "2007 Annual Report to Congress" is comparable to the 2006 or 28th annual report throughout the first three sections. Sections IV and V are new to this edition and were added to provide information on two programs established with the 2004 "IDEA" reauthorization. A summary of the five sections that make up volume 1 of this report is presented. Appendices include: (1) Data Notes for "IDEA", Part C; and (2) Data Notes for "IDEA", Part B.

Download or read book Righting Educational Wrongs written by Arlene Kanter and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-24 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Righting Educational Wrongs brings together the work of scholars from the fields of disability studies in education and law to examine contemporary struggles around in-clusion and access to education. Specifically, contributors examine policies and practices as they contribute to or undermine educational access for individuals with disabilities. Kanter and Ferri expand our understanding about the potential of legal studies to inform work around disability studies in education and vice versa. Contributors explore the intersections between disability studies, law, and education, forging a theoretical framework for thinking about educational access. Several essays take a critical look at some of the histories of exclusion in education and the ways that these exclusions have been upheld by a variety of educational policies and practices. Other essays reflect on how students with disabilities and their families experience the Individuals with Disabilities in Education Act. By bridging various disciplines, Righting Educational Wrongs offers new insights to allow us to better understand the multiple perspectives and voices within the field of disability studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education is now an established part of public education in the United States—by law and by custom. However, it is still widely misunderstood and continues to be dogged by controversies related to such things as categorization, grouping, assessment, placement, funding, instruction, and a variety of legal issues. The purpose of this 13-part, 57-chapter handbook is to help profile and bring greater clarity to this sprawling and growing field. To ensure consistency across the volume, chapter authors review and integrate existing research, identify strengths and weaknesses, note gaps in the literature, and discuss implications for practice and future research. Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage—Fifty-seven chapters cover all aspects of special education in the United States including cultural and international comparisons. Issues & Trends—In addition to synthesizing empirical findings and providing a critical analysis of the status and direction of current research, chapter authors discuss issues related to practice and reflect on trends in thinking. Categorical Chapters—In order to provide a comprehensive and comparative treatment of the twelve categorical chapters in section IV, chapter authors were asked to follow a consistent outline: Definition, Causal Factors, Identification, Behavioral Characteristics, Assessment, Educational Programming, and Trends and Issues. Expertise—Edited by two of the most accomplished scholars in special education, chapter authors include a carefully chosen mixture of established and rising young stars in the field. This book is an appropriate reference volume for anyone (researchers, scholars, graduate students, practitioners, policy makers, and parents) interested in the state of special education today: its research base, current issues and practices, and future trends. It is also appropriate as a textbook for graduate level courses in special education.
Download or read book Black Males and Racism written by Terence D. Fitzgerald and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the twenty-first-century curtain of "colorblind" public sentiment lies an often-ignored reality shared by many African American males—racism continues to thrive and often drastically affects their lives. Fitzgerald draws on his extensive interviews of black males to reveal the experiences of racism that continue in public schools and in American higher education. Using empirical data and the methods of sociological research, Fitzgerald analyzes how the persistent effects of white supremacy in education have threatened the psychological and economic welfare of black males. The effects often last well into adulthood. Unraveling the subtle and overt mechanisms of institutional social control leads Fitzgerald to proposals to reduce structural racism and improve the lives of African American youth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Choice Magazine Outstanding Academic Title of 2017! School-based mental health professionals intervene daily to address a variety of student mental health concerns. From challenges that arise in the educational context to those carried over from home, from managing daily care to handling emergent traumatic events, they must be prepared for an extremely varied work life. While some of the most common issues recur with such frequency that they may seem straightforward to address, others crop up with changing student populations. Each chapter in this volume addresses a different key topic, giving current and future professionals an overview of the most recent scholarship on the topic, and then outlining evidence-based interventions. With chapters on learning disabilities, substance abuse, bullying, internalizing and externalizing behaviors, trauma, LGBT youth and more, this book prepares school-based mental health professionals to face some of the most difficult, common, and politicized issues affecting students today.

Download or read book DISPROPORTIONALITY IN EDUCATION AND SPECIAL EDUCATION written by Amity Lynn Noltemeyer and published by Charles C Thomas Publisher. This book was released on 2012-07-01 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given the burgeoning number of diverse students in our nation’s schools, coupled with the potentially negative outcomes and wasted resources associated with the misidentification of students for special education and excessive use of exclusionary discipline for specific subgroups of students, it is imperative that educational professionals understand and address the implications arising from disproportionality for children both with and without disabilities. This text contributes unique perspectives and up-to-date information, including advances and research that have emerged since the last of the extant books was published. Presented in three sections, the first considers disproportionality in special education identification, with chapters examining overrepresentation by ethnicity, gender, and language. The second section addresses disproportionality in discipline, specifically focusing on inequalities in school disciplinary actions and juvenile justice decisions based on ethnicity and gender. The final section provides readers with approaches for addressing disproportionality and creating more equitable learning environments now and in the future. The text encourages bidirectional and evolving relationships between the topics examined in each chapter with the historical framework presented. Because of the comprehensive nature of the topics covered in the book, it is an ideal “one-stop” reference for readers aiming to acquire a broad understanding of the key issues related to the topic. The book will appeal to a range of potential readers, including university students and practitioners in the fields of education, psychology, sociology, gender studies, ethnic studies, and criminal justice as well as lay-readers interested in issues of equality and/or education.
