Book excerpt: The CARE (Compassion through Assessment, Response, and Evaluation) Team is a prereferral intervention team at a TK-6th elementary school. After the initial year of implementation, teacher understandings and feedback about the team was desired. The researcher used survey and interview questions to elicit input from the general education teachers. Responses were used to answer the question: In what ways do teachers perceive the purpose and process of the CARE Team? To provide context, a broad lens is applied to the field of existing literature to determine the need for such prereferral teams, the hallmarks of effective teams, the barriers to effectiveness, and finally teacher perceptions of these types of teams. The narrative surveys and interviews were coded using in vivo, holistic, and pattern coding methods, along with CARE Team training and student record documentation to triangulate the data and validate the findings. The findings reveal insights into what general education teachers desire from a collaborative problem-solving team. Meeting the indicated desires of teachers may encourage greater participation and follow-through on interventions, which leads to greater likelihood of positive student outcomes. Based on teacher feedback, it is recommended the team adopt a formalized problem-solving protocol, provide more direct implementation support, and maintain a positive tone by validating and encouraging teacher efforts. Making these improvements may lead to greater teacher engagement with the team, increasing the amount of support provided to students with exceptional needs. The major conclusion is teacher perceptions can be one measure of team effectiveness and teachers can provide meaningful recommendations for improvement. This can further research on what qualities influence the effectiveness of prereferral intervention teams, through the lens of general educators.

This book was released on 2014-01-31 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume addresses all facets of faculty development, including academic and career development, teaching improvement, research capacity building, and leadership development. In addition, it describes a multitude of ways, ranging from workshops to the workplace, in which health professionals can develop their knowledge and skills. By providing an informed and scholarly overview of faculty development, and by describing original content that has not been previously published, this book helps to ensure that research and evidence inform practice, moves the scholarly agenda forward, and promotes dialogue and debate in this evolving field. It will prove an invaluable resource for faculty development program planning, implementation and evaluation, and will help to sustain faculty members’ vitality and commitment to excellence. Kelley M. Skeff, M.D., Ph.D., May 2013: In this text, Steinert and her colleagues have provided a significant contribution to the future of faculty development. In an academic and comprehensive way, the authors have both documented past efforts in faculty development as well as provided guidance and stimuli for the future. The scholarly and well-referenced chapters provide a compendium of methods previously used while emphasizing the expanding areas deserving work. Moreover, the writers consistently elucidate the faculty development process by highlighting the theoretical underpinnings of faculty development and the research conducted. Thus, the book provides an important resource for two major groups, current providers and researchers in faculty development as well as those desiring to enter the field. Both groups of readers can benefit from a reading of the entire book or by delving into their major area of interest and passion. In so doing, they will better understand our successes and our limitations in this emerging field. Faculty development in the health professions has now received attention for 6 decades. Yet, dedicated faculty members trying to address the challenges in medical education and the health care delivery system do not have all the assistance they need to achieve their goals. This book provides a valuable resource towards that end.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disabled young people transitioning to adulthood are more likely experience chronic poverty, serial unemployment, poor lifespan health outcomes and endure lifetime dependence on social welfare. Over 500,000 children with special health care needs and learning disabilities transition to adulthood each year in the United States. 300,000 of the 1,000,000 disabled children in California, age 13 to 22, were registered as students in public schools in 2015. Special education teachers and School Nurses are intermediaries at the intersection between healthcare and education systems, both affecting the lifespan outcomes of this population. This cross-sectional, descriptive study sought to answer the research question: What are Special Education teachers’ perceptions about transitions to adulthood for special health and learning disabled students and what are their perceptions of the school nurse role in transition planning? A semi-structured interview tool was developed to collect data by in-person, audio recorded interviews from seven certified Special Education teachers with combined teaching experience of 157 years. The aim of this study was to explore Special Educators’ perceptions of barriers to successful post-school outcomes persistently experienced by transition-aged students and how school nurses impact this transition. Literature supported finding of teachers having a greater appreciation for school nurses for their knowledge as a clinical resource, than for the nurses’ clinical skills. Literature also supported results that teachers perceive School Nurses as outsiders unless presented in milieus as student advocates or in a central role providing school healthcare access for medically fragile students. Teachers did not recognize school nurses as necessary members of the students’ Individual Education Plan (IEP) nor transition team. The practice model suitable to address the five identified barrier themes developed from the study data analysis is The Whole School, Whole Community, Whole Child (WSCC) model developed by the Center for Disease Control. This model provisions targeted efforts to strengthen sustainable health, education, community agency and organization partnerships with supportive design of a coordinated comprehensive approach to improve educational attainment, improve healthy development and better prepare the students for life. The opportunity for the school nurse to expand their role as community liaisons utilizing the WSCC model is in line with the 2010 Institute of Medicine recommendation for nurses to “practice to the full extent of their education.” School Nurses can lead change and advance student health to improve post-school outcomes by initiating innovative transformation of the IEP transition plan to reflect WSCC components. Three study findings are actionable: Day Program Curriculum; Advocacy Utilization Support; Professional Development. Improvement of Day Program reform is the current work of the federally mandated audit teams of the California state Department of Rehabilitation. The WSCC enhances the effectiveness broadly used education models and supports succinct, whole-school, student focused transition planning initiatives that include school nurse consultation and input. Other vital WSCC components, professional development and team empowerment promote augmentation of education administrators’ knowledge of special education legislation and community support matrix resources, better equipping them to support teachers on the front lines, thereby improving parental and student support.
