Book excerpt: The purpose of this study is to investigate the perceptions K-12 principals and teachers have of inclusive education in a school district in Beaver County, Pennsylvania. The dependent variables are the teachers' and principals' perceptions of inclusion and the independent variables are years of educational experience, extent of special education background, and level of support by district administrators. Instrumentation for this study is the Multidimensional Attitudes toward Inclusive Education Scale (MATIES) survey. Data were analyzed for correlational relationships using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). Findings suggest an average to high level of support by administration in supporting inclusive practices. A statistically significant, small negative relationship between the years teaching and responses on the affective and behavioral factors surfaced. No significant relationship was demonstrated between teachers' perceptions of inclusion and the level of support they receive from administrators. Future study can explore how perceptions directly impact placement of students with disabilities.

Book DisCrit Disability Studies and Critical Race Theory in Education

Download or read book DisCrit Disability Studies and Critical Race Theory in Education written by David J. Connor and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This groundbreaking volume brings together major figures in Disability Studies in Education (DSE) and Critical Race Theory (CRT) to explore some of today’s most important issues in education. Scholars examine the achievement/opportunity gaps from both historical and contemporary perspectives, as well as the overrepresentation of minority students in special education and the school-to-prison pipeline. Chapters also address school reform and the impact on students based on race, class, and dis/ability and the capacity of law and policy to include (and exclude). Readers will discover how some students are included (and excluded) within schools and society, why some citizens are afforded expanded (or limited) opportunities in life, and who moves up in the world and who is trapped at the “bottom of the well.” Contributors: D.L. Adams, Susan Baglieri, Stephen J. Ball, Alicia Broderick, Kathleen M. Collins, Nirmala Erevelles, Edward Fergus, Zanita E. Fenton, David Gillborn, Kris Guitiérrez, Kathleen A. King Thorius, Elizabeth Kozleski, Zeus Leonardo, Claustina Mahon-Reynolds, Elizabeth Mendoza, Christina Paguyo, Laurence Parker, Nicola Rollock, Paolo Tan, Sally Tomlinson, and Carol Vincent “With a stunning set of authors, this book provokes outrage and possibility at the rich intersection of critical race, class, and disability studies, refracting back on educational policy and practices, inequities and exclusions but marking also spaces for solidarities. This volume is a must-read for preservice, and long-term educators, as the fault lines of race, (dis)ability, and class meet in the belly of educational reform movements and educational justice struggles.” —Michelle Fine, distinguished professor of Critical Psychology and Urban Education, The Graduate Center, CUNY “Offers those who sincerely seek to better understand the complexity of the intersection of race/ethnicity, dis/ability, social class, and gender a stimulating read that sheds new light on the root of some of our long-standing societal and educational inequities.” —Wanda J. Blanchett, distinguished professor and dean, Rutgers University, Graduate School of Education

Book Bahamian Elementary School Principals and Teachers Perceptions of Inclusive Education

Download or read book Bahamian Elementary School Principals and Teachers Perceptions of Inclusive Education written by Tracy Colebrooke and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Author's abstract: This case study, with an explanatory sequential mixed-methods approach, aimed to determine Bahamian elementary school principals’ and teachers’ perceptions of including students with disabilities in General Education classrooms and leadership that promotes and sustains Inclusive Educational practices. The research questions addressed included: (1) What are Bahamian elementary school principals’ and teachers’ perceptions of Inclusive Education with regard to: (a) comfort levels when engaging with people with disabilities; (b) acceptance of learners with different needs; and, (c) concerns about implementing Inclusive Educational practices? (2) What are Bahamian elementary school principals’ and teachers’ perceptions of leadership style that would be ideal for promoting and sustaining Inclusive Educational learning environments? This study consisted of a sample population of 52 educators from three public elementary schools located on Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas. In the quantitative phase of this study, Forlin et al.’s (2011) SACIE-R survey was modified and administered; data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In the qualitative phase of this study, nine semi-structured interviews were conducted; the data were analyzed using thematic analysis and the constant comparative method. Major findings revealed an overall reluctance to engage in Inclusive Educational practices by principals and teachers as a result of the shortcomings of the Bahamian Educational system; these shortcomings were depicted by themes such as putting the cart before the horse has been problematic, we are in dire need, and reform the system. This study also revealed the presence of leadership that can foster and sustain Inclusive Educational practices.

Book Leadership for Inclusive Schools

Download or read book Leadership for Inclusive Schools written by Steven Ray Sider and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-01-31 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book supports the professional learning of school principals, and those who aspire to be such, in development of their skills and knowledge around fostering inclusive schools for students with special education needs. The book includes 27 case stories that are based on research with school principals. Each case includes expert commentaries and resources to support principals and emerging leaders as they consider how to effectively support students with special education needs in inclusive schools. Its premise is based on the recognition that there are increasing numbers of students with disabilities and special education needs in neighbourhood schools. Principals need to develop new competencies to navigate the challenges, and benefits, of including students with special education needs into inclusive classroom settings. The book provides opportunities to build leadership competencies by considering a diversity of cases related to inclusive leadership. The cases in the book are divided among nine sections addressing the following areas: transitions, early years, elementary school cases, secondary school cases, community supports, school board/district supports, school teams, complex cases, and cases specific to new teachers. Seven cross-cutting themes are addressed in these cases including: communication, parents/caregivers, agency/efficacy, collaboration, relationships/trust, legal, and advocacy.

Book Elementary Principals and Special Education Supervisors Perceptions of the Barriers to Successful Implementation of Inclusion

Download or read book Elementary Principals and Special Education Supervisors Perceptions of the Barriers to Successful Implementation of Inclusion written by William C. Bowen and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of the qualitative study was to identify the barriers to the successful implementation of inclusive practices through an analysis of principal and special education supervisor perceptions. Twelve principals and 5 special education supervisors were interviewed to gather information about their perceptions after the first-year implementation of an inclusive model in their buildings. Specifically, the study highlighted the potential obstacles school and district leaders face when implementing an inclusive model. The researcher conducted individual semistructured interviews that included 12 predetermined questions. The interview question responses provided the principals’ and supervisors’ perceptions of the barriers they experienced during the implementation of inclusion in their schools. Based on the data analyzed, the researcher provided recommendations to elementary school administrators they may use in developing their own successful inclusive model, which in turn will allow many students who have disabilities to become educated alongside their peers.
