Download or read book Reforming Special Education written by Richard Weatherley and published by MIT Press (MA). This book was released on 1979 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Focusing on Massachusetts' innovative special education reform law, Chapter 766, "Reforming Special Education" traces the complex processes through which an ostensibly universalistic and equitable policy can produce a biased distribution of public benefits favoring affluent clients."Reforming Special Education" examines three Massachusetts school systems and seven schools within those systems to determine whether laws formulated to alter practices in educating children who are deaf, blind, retarded, and physically handicapped actually result in fair and uniform treatment of children with special needs, or whether they just create more work for school personnel.The book discusses individual and community wealth as factors in the allocation of funds. Despite Massachusetts' "equalizing formula," it points out that rich districts often fare better than poor ones because they have the resources and sophistication necessary to challenge funding decisions. The book also reveals that bureaucrats who are charged with carrying out the changes are victimized by new laws which, for lack of resources, they cannot hope to put into effect. Because the street-level bureaucrats, front-line personnel, develop informal means of coping with these problems and with their jobs, they distort the policy they are charged with implementing and become policy makers in their own right.Weatherley concludes that policy initiatives must take into account potential effects on the daily work routines of those charged with implementing them. These findings have dramatic implications for all human service bureaucracies where front-line staff interact with the public--hospitals, police departments, public welfare and employment offices, mental health centers and lower courts. Students of public policy, educators, social workers, or anyone involved in public service employment will find this a scholarly, yet highly readable account of the organizational constraints to bureaucratic reform.

Download or read book Handbook of Research on Special Education Teacher Preparation written by Erica D. McCray and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compilations of research on teacher preparation often include no more than a cursory mention of the specific roles and needs of special education teachers. Although the work that special education teachers perform does indeed differ from the work of classroom teachers, teacher preparation in the two fields has much in common. The purpose of this seven-part handbook is to expand our knowledge of teacher education broadly by providing an in-depth look at the most up-to-date research on special education teacher preparation. Opening chapters ground the collection in political and economic context, while subsequent sections delve deeply into issues related to the current state of our special education workforce and offer insights into how to best prepare and sustain that workforce. Ultimately, by illuminating the particularities of special education teacher preparation, this landmark handbook addresses the state of current research in the field and sets an agenda for future scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study supports efforts by the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs (OSEP) to foster greater state accountability and establish data-driven planning and self-assessment processes that help states and schools to address provisions of the recently enacted Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEA) of 2004. In response to state-level requirements, the Texas Education Agency (TEA) asked Region 4 Education Service Center (ESC) to facilitate the second statewide study of special education professionals personnel needs. This study, which was authorized in December 2004, augments the initial "Statewide Study of Special Education Professionals' Personnel Needs" conducted by the Texas Center for Educational Research (TCER) and published in September 2001. The current study was designed to identify existing shortages in special education teacher and other professional positions, to investigate the various issues that appear to influence turnover in these positions, and to identify effective approaches to retention. Report sections are organized around findings for the study's major research questions. Key findings are summarized for Texas single districts and SSAs. "Section 2, Method" gives a description of the instrument development and validation process, the four surveys used in the study, and the data collection procedures. The authors also discuss the generalizability of the study to public schools statewide. "Section 3, Special Education Personnel Staffing Needs" provides information on special education positions and critical shortage areas, and special education personnel turnover. This section specifically addresses the special education personnel needs in Texas public schools. "Section 4, Hiring Special Education Personnel" provides information on recruitment strategies and barriers to hiring qualified special education personnel. "Section 5, Retaining Special Education Personnel" provides information on retention strategies and barriers to retaining qualified special education personnel. "Section 6, Special Education Teachers" provides information on teacher workload and teaching arrangements, teaching experience and preparation of special education teachers, perceptions of the work environment, and intentions to remain in the job. "Section 7, Other Special Education Professionals" provides information on special education professionals workload and service arrangements, certifications attained by special education professionals, perceptions of the work environment, and intentions to remain in the job. "Section 8, Professional Development Needs of Special Education Personnel" provides information on administrators' perceptions of the degree to which their staff required professional development. This section also identifies the professional development areas in which special education teachers and other professionals had completed training as well as the areas in which they desired additional training. "Section 9, Special Education Staffing in Charter Schools" provides information on the special education staffing levels in charter schools, and the recruitment, staffing, and retention strategies utilized by these schools. "Section 10, Policy Implications and Recommendations" discusses the implications of the results of the current study, and recommendations for addressing recruitment, staffing, and retention issues relative to special education personnel. (Contains 103 tables and 7 figures.) [For "Texas Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education. Executive Summary," see ED538138.].
