Download or read book School Staff Perception of Professional Development written by Marianne C. Bentley-Stallworth and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012-02 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation was an inquiry into how staff in two elementary schools perceived the professional development models used to improve their ability to write Individualized Education Programs (IEPs) for students with disabilities that were in procedural compliance with state and federal regulations. The study sought to investigate the perception of teachers, related service providers, and administrators relative to the effectiveness of professional development and training opportunities to which they were exposed. The professional development events were intended to increase their knowledge and skill in the area of special education compliance in IEP development as a component of a school improvement initiative. The overall results indicated that staff in both schools improved IEP writing skills. Staff also indicated that they became more intentional when planning and collaborating together to improve the academic and behavioral performance of students with disabilities in their learning community.

Download or read book Critical Issues in Training Special Education Teachers written by Laurie U. deBettencourt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2005-01 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study follows the aesthetic of the sublime from Burke and Kant, through Wordsworth and the Shelleys, into Thackeray, Dickens, Eliot and Hardy. Exploring the continuities between the romantic and Victorian "periods" that have so often been rather read as differences, the book demonstrate that the sublime mode enables the transition from a paradigm of overwhelming power exemplified by the body of the king to the pervasive power of surveillance utilized by the rising middle classes. While the domestic woman connected with the rise of the middle class is normally seen as beautiful, the book contends that the moral authority given to this icon of depth and interiority is actually sublime. The binary of the beautiful and the sublime seeks to contain the sublimity of womanhood by insisting on sublimity's masculine character. This is the book's most important claim: rather than exemplifying masculine strength, the sublime marks the transition to a system of power gendered as feminine and yet masks that transition because it fears the power it ostensibly accords to the feminine. This aesthetic is both an inheritance the Victorians receive from their romantic predecessors, and, more importantly, a broad historical phenomenon that questions the artificial boundaries between romantic and Victorian.

Download or read book Educator Knowledge and Skills Essential for Accommodating Students with Learning Disabilities in Reading written by Joan Marie Altobelli and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 482 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teachers and administrators implement and supervise the implementation of the individualized education program (IEP) for children with disabilities. An understanding of teacher and administrator knowledge and skills associated with implementation of instructional accommodations and interventions commonly identified in the IEP, may provide insight to averting negative student effects related to failure to provide a free and appropriate public education. This study investigated the self-reported knowledge and skills that educators possess related to IEP accommodations and their self-reported comfort level and ability to implement and supervise instruction prescribed for students with disabilities in reading. To examine what is proposed (i.e., the IEP) and what is actually done throughout the implementation of the IEP and subsequent supervision of instruction, the conceptual framework of espoused theory and theory of action (Argyris & Schön, 1974) and bureaucratic theory (Puch, Hickeron, Hirings, & Turner, 1968) was applied. Phase 1 analyzed the accommodations prescribed on the IEPs of students with learning disabilities in reading. The results were used to develop questionnaires with stimulus items designed to elicit self-reported knowledge and identify potential areas of need for professional development. In Phase 2 of the study, responses are reported from 6 unique surveys that were sent to elementary and middle school administrators and general and special education teachers who teach or supervise the instruction of students with learning disabilities in reading. Information and results extracted from survey responses of 222 participants from a large, urban school district in Texas shed light on the ways instructional strategies and accommodations are documented on IEPs for students with disabilities. Standardization due to IEP development software that forced committees to make decisions about accommodations, from limited number of options in a dropdown menu became evident during the review of the data and the district's IEP development process. A discrepancy between the reported level of educator knowledge about specific accommodations, and needed professional development was found. Implications for pre-service teacher and administrator preparation programs and future research are informed by participants' self-reported need for deeper understanding of basic special education practices, obligations, and responsibilities. A call for administrator leadership for organizational change that would facilitate continuous improvement in service delivery to students with disabilities is made. Improved and targeted preservice and inservice professional development relevant to the supervision and implementation of IEP interventions and accommodations is recommended.
