Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) funded by the U.S. Department of Education, which provides a unique source of information to help in developing an understanding of the experiences of secondary school students with disabilities nationally as they go through their early adult years. NLTS2 addresses questions about youth with disabilities in transition by providing information over a 10-year period about a nationally representative sample of secondary school students with disabilities who were 13 to 16 years old and receiving special education services in grade 7 or above. Information about these former secondary school students is examined to describe the experiences of young adults with disabilities in the postsecondary education, employment, independence, and social domains in their first 6-8 years out of high school.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Longitudinal Transition Study-2 (NLTS2) funded by the National Center for Special Education Research at the Institute of Education Sciences, U.S. Department of Education, provides a unique source of information to help in developing an understanding of the experiences of secondary school students with disabilities nationally as they go through their early adult years. NLTS2 addresses questions about youth with disabilities in transition by providing information over a 10-year period about a nationally representative sample of secondary school students with disabilities who were 13 to 16 years old and receiving special education services in grade 7 or above, under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) in the 2000-01 school year. NLTS2 findings generalize to youth with disabilities nationally and to youth in each of the 12 federal special education disability categories in use for students in the NLTS2 age range. The study was designed to collect data on sample members from multiple sources in five waves, beginning in 2001 and ending in 2009. This document uses information about these former secondary school students to describe the experiences of young adults with disabilities in the postsecondary education, employment, independence, and social domains in their first 8 years out of high school. Much of the information reported in this document comes from young adults with disabilities themselves in the form of responses to either a telephone interview or a self-administered mail survey with a subset of key items from the telephone interview conducted in 2009, as part of NLTS2's fifth and final wave of data collection, referred to as Wave 5. This report is organized to provide information on young adults with disabilities in several key domains, including the following: (1) Postsecondary education enrollment, educational experiences, and completion; (2) Employment status and characteristics of young adults' current or most recent job; (3) Productive engagement in school, work, or preparation for work; (4) Residential independence; the prevalence of marriage and parenting; and aspects of their financial independence; and (5) Social and community involvement, including friendship activities and community participation in both positive and negative ways. Selected findings include: (1) Sixty percent of young adults with disabilities reported having continued on to postsecondary education within 8 years of leaving high school. (2) Ninety-one percent of young adults with disabilities reported having been employed at some time since leaving high school, holding an average of four jobs. (3) Ninety-four percent of young adults with disabilities reported having been engaged in employment, postsecondary education, and/or job training during this post-high school period. (4) Fifty-nine percent of young adults with disabilities had lived independently (on their own or with a spouse, partner, or roommate), and 4 percent had lived semi-independently (primarily in a college dormitory or military housing). (5) The participation rate of young adults with disabilities in any one of three types of social and community involvement activities--lessons or classes outside of school, volunteer or community service activities, and organized school or community groups--was 52 percent, ranging from 20 percent to 39 percent of young adults across the three types of activities. Appended are: (1) NLTS2 Sampling, Data Collection, and Analysis Procedures; and (2) Additional Analysis. (Contains 98 tables, 44 figures and 126 footnotes.)

Download or read book Flourishing in Emerging Adulthood written by Laura M. Padilla-Walker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2017-03-31 with total page 689 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flourishing in Emerging Adulthood highlights the third decade of life as a time in which individuals have diverse opportunities for positive development. There is mounting evidence that this time period, at least for a significant majority, is a unique developmental period in which positive development is fostered. Dr. Lene Arnett Jensen highlights the importance of this work in an engaging foreword, and chapters are written by leading scholars in diverse disciplines who address various aspects of flourishing. They discuss multiple aspects of positive development including how young people flourish in key areas of emerging adulthood (e.g., identity, love, work, worldviews), the various unique opportunities afforded to young people to flourish, how flourishing might look different around the world, and how flourishing can occur in the face of challenge. Most chapters are accompanied by first-person essays written by a range of emerging adults who exemplify the aspect of flourishing denoted in that chapter and make note of how choices and experiences have helped them transition to adulthood. Taken together, this innovative collection provides rich evidence and examples of how young people are flourishing as a group and as individuals in a variety of settings and circumstances. This unique resource will be useful to students, faculty, professionals, clinicians, and university personnel who work with young adults or who study development during emerging adulthood.
Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Disability written by Robyn Lewis Brown and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-11 with total page 849 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of the Sociology of Disability provides a timely and comprehensive overview of the wide range and depth of sociological theory and research on disability-brought together for the first time in one volume. Each section of the Handbook incorporates a uniquely sociological perspective, presented by a wide-range of experts on intersecting social, economic, political, and cultural dimensions of disability, that complements disability scholarship. The 37 chapters in this Handbook, organized into three major sections, provide an assessment of the history of the field, its current state, and the future for research on and in the sociology of disability. The first section reviews frameworks foundational to the study of disability, pushes for the inclusion of broader global perspectives, and addresses important dimensions of representation. The second section presents a combination of perspectives that tie together individual biography, societal contexts, and historic change, while emphasizing continuity and change in the dynamic processes linking individuals, institutions, and structures over time. In the third section, contributors investigate the reproduction of inequality through law, policy, and related institutions and systems, while highlighting how social and political participation empowers people with disabilities and helps to mitigate inequalities and social marginalization. The chapters included in this volume offer a multifaceted resource for students and experienced scientists alike on historical developments, main standards, key issues, and current challenges in the sociological study of disability at the global, national, and regional levels.

Download or read book Teaching through Challenges for Equity Diversity and Inclusion EDI written by Stephanie L. Burrell Storms and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-19 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Colleges and universities cannot ignore the increasingly diverse student population in their classrooms, and how a focus on equity, diversity, and inclusion across disciplines trains students in the intercultural awareness they will need in competitive job markets. Yet while faculty may be aware of a need to understand EDI goals in relationship to their disciplines, and institutions may support EDI in theory, the onus of pedagogical training in EDI often falls on individual faculty. This book was written by faculty and administrators for educators who value the goals of EDI, and seek an intellectual community to help them develop their practice. Important to this book is an honest discussion of common challenges faculty may face when they engage in this difficult work, and effective strategies for addressing those challenges. The chapters are grouped according to six different themes: respect for divergent learning styles; inclusion and exclusion; technology and social action; affective considerations; reflection for critical consciousness; and safe spaces and resistance.
Download or read book Diversity and Decolonization in German Studies written by Regine Criser and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-02-13 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an approach to transform German Studies by augmenting its core values with a social justice mission rooted in Cultural Studies. German Studies is approaching a pivotal moment. On the one hand, the discipline is shrinking as programs face budget cuts. This enrollment decline is immediately tied to the effects following a debilitating scrutiny the discipline has received as a result of its perceived worth in light of local, regional, and national pressures to articulate the value of the humanities in the language of student professionalization. On the other hand, German Studies struggles to articulate how the study of cultural, social, and political developments in the German-speaking world can serve increasingly heterogeneous student learners. This book addresses this tension through questions of access to German Studies as they relate to student outreach and program advocacy alongside pedagogical models.
