Download or read book Educating One and All written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1997-06-27 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the movement toward standards-based education, an important question stands out: How will this reform affect the 10% of school-aged children who have disabilities and thus qualify for special education? In Educating One and All, an expert committee addresses how to reconcile common learning for all students with individualized education for "one"â€"the unique student. The book makes recommendations to states and communities that have adopted standards-based reform and that seek policies and practices to make reform consistent with the requirements of special education. The committee explores the ideas, implementation issues, and legislative initiatives behind the tradition of special education for people with disabilities. It investigates the policy and practice implications of the current reform movement toward high educational standards for all students. Educating One and All examines the curricula and expected outcomes of standards-based education and the educational experience of students with disabilitiesâ€"and identifies points of alignment between the two areas. The volume documents the diverse population of students with disabilities and their school experiences. Because approaches to assessment and accountability are key to standards-based reforms, the committee analyzes how assessment systems currently address students with disabilities, including testing accommodations. The book addresses legal and resource implications, as well as parental participation in children's education.

Download or read book The Effective Induction of Newly Qualified Primary Teachers written by Sara Bubb and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First Published in 2000. As this book illustrates, the processes of induction are particularly tricky in today's schools where colleagues with responsibility for supporting new entrants to the profession are also charged with judging their capabilities and monitoring their progress. The author has drawn on her experience as a teacher, a teacher-trainer and an inspector to analyse exactly what needs to be done in order to maximise the value of the induction process for new teachers and to guide the work of experienced tutors so that their role is both rigorous and gratifying. She has tested her understanding of induction by running courses for tutors and by interrogating the latest research findings on the subject. The result is a comprehensive handbook packed with information, a set of useful forms and a series of related activities with which induction tutors can test their own understanding of the most pertinent issues.
