StateNotes Special Education 700 Broadway, Suite 1200 Denver, CO 80203-3460 Fax: 303.296.8332 www.ecs.org State Efforts Regarding Teacher Preparation, Certification, Recruitment and Retention October 2003 The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act of 1997 (IDEA) took bold steps toward ensuring children with disabilities receive the free and appropriate public education to which they are entitled. One of the major issues addressed by the legislation is the quality of teachers for children with special needs. IDEA ’97 requires students receiving special education services to be educated with their non-disabled peers to the “maximum extent practicable.” As a result, according to a 2001 report from the Study of Personnel Needs in Special Education, 75% of students receiving special education services spend 40% or more of their day in general education classrooms. Consequently, 96% of general education teachers currently teach, or have in the past taught, children with special needs. Teacher Preparation and Certification Special Education Training for General Education Teachers How have states responded to the challenge to prepare general education teachers to meet the needs of students with special needs? According to ECS’ Teacher Preparation Policy Database (http://www.tqsource.org/prep/policy/), 46 states and the District of Columbia currently have statutes or regulations requiring teacher education programs to provide some instruction on teaching children with special needs to individuals seeking initial training in elementary or secondary education. The amount and content of this instruction, however, varies dramatically.

But these 17 participants weren't the only ones from ND. The bus that departed from Grand Forks made stops in Fargo, Jamestown, Bismarck, Dickinson, Belfield, and Bowman and eventually had a total of 36 skiers and volunteers. Ski for Light was held Jan. 25-29, 2004. The mission is to promote the physical fitness of blind/visually impaired and mobility impaired individuals by sponsoring active, vigorous outdoor activities. Able bodied individuals join, one on one, with the disabled individuals to pursue these activities. In a unique relaxed atmosphere, the partners share their common interest and experience in the outdoors and learn from each other. This event has grown to 150 participants with a similar match of guides and volunteers. Each day was spent on Deer Mountain Ski Resort alpine or Nordic skiing, tubing, snowmobiling, and snowshoeing. Participants also were able to ride a sled called a shark. The shark is an interesting vehicle that is pulled up the mountain by a snowmobile, and then one or two riders ride it to the bottom with only a small handbrake to stop. The shark looks similar to a snowmobile only it has no motor and is equipped with strong seatbelts. But the fun didn't stop after a day on the mountain, evenings were spent at a taco feed held at the Holiday Inn Express, an evening meal at Saloon 10 where a band provided entertainment, and plenty of opportunity for card games, gambling, and visiting with people from all over the United States and many countries. Other activities offered were a picnic at the chalet on Deer Mountain and a wine and cheese party.

One of the social workers went around to the backyard and peered in the kitchen window. Later that day, the social workers came back. Mrs. Harcourt allowed them to come into the front room, where they saw and spoke with the children. She did not, however, allow the workers to go through the house or to interrogate the children out of her presence. Home School Legal Defense Association advised the family to send DHS proof that the children were legally homeschooling. The family was also able to submit an affidavit from a respected community juvenile worker testifying that the residence did not present any health or safety risks.

Most haven't learned to read very well. And there lie two of the problems inherent in the nation's special education programs, according to a report requested by President Bush released this week. The report recommends that schools help very young students before they need expensive special services. The current system, it says, "uses an antiquated model that waits for a child to fail." The report also says more emphasis needs to be placed on reading. It doesn't answer advocates' calls for guaranteed funding of special education programs, worrying educators who say public schools need millions more in funding each year for new teachers, better training and equipment. Christopher said smaller class sizes in kindergarten through third grade are important to keeping students out of special education.
