    This program is geared towards middle and high school students and teaches the leadership and self-determination skills needed to effectively contribute to the IEP process. The Self-Directed IEP uses video modeling, student assignments, and role playing to teach students IEP leadership skills. Arndt, Konrad, and Test (2006) studied the effectiveness of The Self-Directed IEP on 5 inner-city high school students who had been receiving special education since the primary grades. Students were observed during real and mock IEP meetings during the baseline period, and then were given The Self-directed IEP intervention. After the intervention, students once again participated in mock IEP meetings. The study found that student participation in the mock IEP meetings increased after the intervention was implemented (Arndt et al., 2006). The authors also noted that the students were able to generalize skill acquisition and participated more fully in real IEP meetings as well (Arndt et al., 2006).Student feedback also indicated that students felt more knowledgeable and confident about the IEP process as a whole (Arndt et

    My five strengths according to the strength finder include; balance, this helps me be aware of treating all people equally regardless of the situation. I am neither in anyone 's favor or against anyone as this to me is selfishness and individualism.

I believe that a consistent environment where the rules apply to everyone is the best for individuals to function best (Rath, 2007). Flexibility is my next strength.

    My five greatest strengths according to the StrengthsFinder survey are activator, restorative, achiever, command and relator, in rank order. Upon reading about these strengths, I can see how I have used and will continue to use them. I was aware of these strengths, for the most part, but while researching I was able to learn a few things. One article that stood out to me was “Don't let your strengths become your weaknesses” (Kaiser, & Kaplan, 2013). In this article, the possibility of strengths becoming weaknesses when overused was discussed. The authors explained how overdoing can be just as purposeless as under doing. The ability to read and respond adeptly is crucial in handling challenges, they explained. As with everything else in life, balance is key!

  • Special Education in Classrooms Across America

    706 Words  | 2 Pages

    In classrooms across America, teachers must provide instruction that is culturally, linguistically appropriate as well as based on core standards. Special education gives children instruction based upon their unique needs based on a documented disability. Student disabilities often involve mental, physical, emotional and behavioral issues that makes instruction a challenge. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) "governs how states and public agencies provide early intervention, special education and related services to more than 6.5 million eligible infants, toddlers, children and youth with disabilities." (Building the legacy: IDEA 2004) This law provides guidelines for the educational system to identify, assess and implement education to meet the learning requirements of students with disabilities such as autism, emotional, mental retardation or physical disability. It is important to note that not every child with a disability requires special education - learning must be adversely affected and have one of the categories of special education to quality for services."

    The first student was Nathan, who struggled with phonemic awareness. I was interesting in seeing Nathan’s problems rhyming and how that was how his disability was diagnosed. His disabily was only seen in his written language and did not influence his communication skills. I thought that it was interested in hearing that a student’s avoidance of something that’s hard can be commonly mistaken for attentional issues. While I was watching the video I came up with ideas that I thought that the special education teacher should do with Nathan. Some of my ideas were for Nathan to work on
