Book Synopsis Optimizing Special Education by : Nancy O. Wilson
Download or read book Optimizing Special Education written by Nancy O. Wilson and published by Da Capo Press, Incorporated. This book was released on 1992-08-21 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Over 10 percent of children in the United States receive special education, yet many families are unaware of the extensive help available through the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), most of which is free of charge. Optimizing Special Education explains clearly what parents can expect from special services, mainstreaming, due process procedures, and laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Buckley Amendment. Nancy O. Wilson, a recognized authority on families with special-needs children, shows parents and caregivers how to use education laws to increase related services, such a speech and physical therapy, how to change education to suit a child's unique needs, and strategies to improve a student's vocational options." "Parents new to special education, as well as more experienced individuals, will learn techniques for raising a learning-disabled child, in particular: participating in planning a child's individualized education program (IEP); finding effective services for children who do not qualify for special education; keeping track of test results and school records; strengthening a child's social skills for eventual mainstreaming into society; developing ideas for school conferences; maintaining satisfactory parent-professional partnerships from early intervention to vocational training; increasing benefits for special-needs children in "special" and integrated settings; and recognizing and addressing problems of young adults with learning disabilities." "In addition, this impressive resource includes a sample IEP, a list of helpful books and periodicals, agencies, support groups, and a glossary of educational terms." "Along with offering poignant personal anecdotes about rearing her own special-needs child, the compelling experiences of other parents, and input from professionals in the field, Ms. Wilson explores the sensitive family feelings that arise when interacting with service providers and educators in order to form meaningful partnerships on behalf of the child. She offers a balanced view of professional practices that strengthen parents as their child moves from early services toward independence. Parents can take one step, one day at a time, to ensure their child receives services directed to his abilities and future prospects; in the words of the author, "You are the expert about your child. No one can be the catalyst for educational change as successfully as you."" "This outstanding, comprehensive, fact-filled sourcebook will be invaluable for parents, as well as professionals in the health, mental health, and educational fields."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

Book Synopsis Optimizing Higher Education Learning Through Activities and Assessments by : Inoue-Smith, Yukiko

This book was released on 2020-06-26 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The mission of higher education in the 21st century must focus on optimizing learning for all students. In a shift from prioritizing effective teaching to active learning, it is understood that computer-enhanced environments provide a variety of ways to reach a wide range of learners who have differing backgrounds, ages, learning needs, and expectations. Integrating technology into teaching assumes greater importance to improve the learning experience. Optimizing Higher Education Learning Through Activities and Assessments is a collection of innovative research that explores the link between effective course design and student engagement and optimizes learning and assessments in technology-enhanced environments and among diverse student populations. Its focus is on providing an understanding of the essential link between practices for effective “activities” and strategies for effective “assessments,” as well as providing examples of course designs aligned with assessments, positioning college educators both as leaders and followers in the cycle of lifelong learning. While highlighting a broad range of topics including collaborative teaching, active learning, and flipped classroom methods, this book is ideally designed for educators, curriculum developers, instructional designers, administrators, researchers, academicians, and students.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Special education is now an established part of public education in the United States—by law and by custom.

The purpose of this 13-part, 57-chapter handbook is to help profile and bring greater clarity to this sprawling and growing field.

Key features include: Comprehensive Coverage—Fifty-seven chapters cover all aspects of special education in the United States including cultural and international comparisons. Issues & Trends—In addition to synthesizing empirical findings and providing a critical analysis of the status and direction of current research, chapter authors discuss issues related to practice and reflect on trends in thinking. Categorical Chapters—In order to provide a comprehensive and comparative treatment of the twelve categorical chapters in section IV, chapter authors were asked to follow a consistent outline: Definition, Causal Factors, Identification, Behavioral Characteristics, Assessment, Educational Programming, and Trends and Issues. Expertise—Edited by two of the most accomplished scholars in special education, chapter authors include a carefully chosen mixture of established and rising young stars in the field. This book is an appropriate reference volume for anyone (researchers, scholars, graduate students, practitioners, policy makers, and parents) interested in the state of special education today: its research base, current issues and practices, and future trends.

Book Synopsis New Directions in Special Education by : Thomas Hehir
Download or read book New Directions in Special Education written by Thomas Hehir and published by Harvard Education Press. This book was released on 2005-11-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive study that is also practical and realistic, New Directions in Special Education outlines principles for decisionmaking about special education at every level—from the family to the classroom, school, and district—and for state and federal policy. With this volume, leading scholar and disability advocate Thomas Hehir opens a new round of debate on the future of special education. Extending the conceptual framework developed in his seminal 2002 article in the Harvard Educational Review, "Eliminating Ableism in Education," Hehir examines the ways that cultural attitudes about disability systematically distort the education of children with special needs and uses this analysis to lay out a fresh approach to special education policy and practice. Hehir traces the roots of "ableism"—the pervasive devaluation of people with disabilities—and shows how negative attitudes continue to shape debates in the field. He assesses recent trends in special education policy, particularly the shift of emphasis from compliance to outcomes, and discusses in depth the successes and limitations of the inclusion movement. He also investigates the impact of standards-based reforms on children with disabilities and critically examines the promise of Universal Design for Learning.
