This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: This study examined the experiences of teachers who included students identified as having emotional disturbance in their classes while participating in a teacher support program. A secondary analysis of data collected throughout the duration of the support program was conducted to identify core issues teachers faced as they included students with emotional disturbance in their classes. The first stage of analysis involved pre-existing data from the support program. Data were organized into four periods which chronologically represented the teachers' experiences. From this data eight core themes were identified: concerns about the lack of instructional adaptations made for students with emotional disturbance; appropriate consequences for disruptive behavior in general education; type of additional student information teachers wanted; student readiness for inclusion; the need for a supportive environment; training needs for inclusion; class size pertaining to the number of students with ED in general education classes; and teacher feedback about the support program. To provide clarification and elaboration of these core issues, stage two consisted of a focus group of eight teachers who participated in the program. Identified strengths that contributed to the success of the support program included the role of the coordinator as support person for both students and teachers and the benefits of having a supportive environment for students with emotional disturbance to return to for extra assistance. Major conclusions from this study suggest that student readiness for inclusion, teacher support needed during inclusion, and teacher attitudes and beliefs about inclusion are critical components to the inclusion process. Implications for future research include identifying skills needed by students with emotional disturbance to transition to inclusive settings, examining the setting demands of the general education classroom, exploring students' perceptions of inclusion, and identifying effective practices for preparing teachers to work with students in inclusive settings.

This book was released on 2013 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This qualitative study examined special education teachers' and psychologists' perceptions of therapeutic interventions provided to students with Emotional Disturbance. Participants included special education teachers and psychologists who were employed by an intermediate unit in Central Pennsylvania and were assigned to elementary, middle, and high school emotional support classrooms in seven school districts. Seven special education teachers and three psychologists participated in online surveys and two special education teachers and two psychologists participated in interviews. The survey and interview questions answered two research questions which sought to establish teachers' and psychologists' perceptions of the relationships between both the amounts and types of therapeutic interventions provided to students with Emotional Disturbance and their uses of replacement behaviors. Study results indicated that special education teachers perceived there to be a "significant relationship" between the amounts of therapeutic interventions provided to students with Emotional Disturbance and their uses of replacement behaviors, while psychologists perceived there to be "some relationship". The majority of participants perceived there to be "some" to "significant" relationships between the types of therapeutic interventions provided to students with Emotional Disturbance and their uses of replacement behaviors. Additional study findings might be relevant to teachers, psychologists, or administrators providing therapeutic interventions to students with Emotional Disturbance.

This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is becoming recognized that the multiple and complex problems of children with emotional and behavioral problems and their families exceed the capacity of any single service system. Emerging School-Based Approaches for Children With Emotional and Behavioral Problems presents educators and social service practitioners with innovative programs and practices for these children while in school with emphasis on inter-service collaboration. The book fulfills a growing need for an organized discussion of how the integrated service paradigm can be applied in the context of school settings. Special consideration is given to the issues and problems that are idiosyncratic to schools as institutions. Emerging School-Based Approaches for Children With Emotional and Behavioral Problems shows school administrators, teachers, and child service providers conceptual, practice, and research aspects of integrated service programs in school settings. Professionals gain insight for planning organizational change as prominent experts and practitioners share their work across a range of issues and geographic sites. They explore these topics: systems of care for children and families schools as health delivery sites parent involvement for students with emotional and behavioral disorders program planning and evaluation planned organizational changeChapters provide readers with general information about the features of an integrated approach, provide practical examples of exemplary programs, and consider organizational change issues that can facilitate or impede movement toward a more collaborative approach. Programs presented focus on the development of more broad-based community services, less restrictive child placement, prevention of hospitalization and out-of-home placement, interagency collaboration, flexible and individualized services, and cost containment and efficiency. The integrated service movement in children’s services holds much promise as a means to create more comprehensive and coordinated school-based systems of care for children and families. Special education teachers and administrators, school and child clinical psychologists, and school counselors will find Emerging School-Based Approaches for Children With Emotional and Behavioral Problems fundamental to their understanding of the integrated systems approach and a helpful guide as they undergo their own organizational changes.

Download or read book Supporting Students with Emotional Disturbance written by Michael Eyerly and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Emotional Disturbance negatively affects educational, social, and employment outcomes. The purpose of this project is to offer the needed supports and education for general education teachers to implement inclusion successfully, meet the unique learning needs of students with Emotional Disturbance, and positively influence social and academic outcomes. The research questions presented include 1) How can general education teachers be better supported to positively affect learning and outcomes for students with Emotional Disturbance in an inclusive setting? 2) What do general education teachers need to better support students with Emotional Disturbance in an inclusive setting? Currently, students with Emotional Disturbance experience more negative outcomes than other students with and without disabilities. This project was designed to introduce various supports to meet the needs of students with Emotional Disturbance. The instructional and behavioral interventions offer the needed assistance to teachers working with students with Emotional Disturbance, increasing students' potential for positive outcomes. Research illustrates the need for additional resources for teachers working with students with and without Emotional Disturbance, and the consequences for not offering this additional support, such as increased dropout rates, relationship difficulties, and increased unemployment. Further research will help provide adequate support for students with Emotional Disturbance. Improving assistance teachers receive increases the supports students receive and their overall positive outcomes in inclusion settings. Offering these supports can create more effective educational settings and increases the overall positive outcomes for students with Emotional Disturbance. Keywords: Emotional Disturbance, inclusion, instructional, strategies, behavioral, interventions.

This book was released on 2024-04-16 with total page 119 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the last few years, teachers across cultures have faced a lot of unprecedented demands in developing their methods in instruction. Population mobility, unstable labour market and globalisation change society around us rapidly. In addition, education per se is constantly changing, and redefining and modifying learning and teaching environments are an ongoing process. For example, modern educational psychology, including positive psychology movements emphasizing collaborative knowledge creation, calls teachers to facilitate their students’ learning and wellbeing and to create a positive learning environment instead of using traditional frontal teaching and other teacher-centered methods. Digital revolution has challenged teachers to adapt new educational settings and to update their pedagogical approaches into more use of digital solutions. Indeed, the COVID-19 pandemic propelled the teachers to offer new optimal learning experiences.
