64. DoDEA: Director For Special Education Removal of disabled children from the regular as small group and individual instruction, special equipment and south carolina Services Information System (SCSIS http://www.ddess.org/laurel-bay/sped/sped.htm

Director for Special Education It is the responsibility of all Department of Defense (DoD) Domestic Dependent Elementary and Secondary Schools (DDESS) systems to provide an appropriate education for all students. Some students have special needs that cannot be met through the regular education curriculum. According to DoD DDESS’ regulations, all children with special education needs must be identified, evaluated, and served through the school system. Related services such as speech-language, occupational therapy, physical therapy, psychological services, counseling, and transportation must be made available to special education students who require such assistance in order to benefit from their special education placements. As a part of DDESS, Laurel Bay and Fort Jackson Schools are required to follow the 32 CFR Part 80 in serving disabled children, ages three years through sixth grade. The identification, assessment, and provisions of programs for disabled students in special education and related services must comply with this instruction as it is designed for DoD DDESS. Also, to the maximum extent appropriate, disabled children are to be educated with children who are not disabled. Removal of disabled children from the regular educational environment occurs only when the nature or severity of the condition is such that education in regular classes with the use of supplementary aids and services cannot be achieved satisfactorily. Special educators are trained to work with children and to provide consultation services to teachers and parents. This helps to assure that specific problems will be managed in a professional manner focusing on each child’s individual strengths, deficits, and needs. In addition to special settings, such as small group and individual instruction, special equipment and materials are made available to assist students in their classrooms to promote the specific methods and techniques necessary in helping students learn.

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.

If you want more information about our education law practice or a copy of any of our articles, contact David Duff at dduff@ddtwb.com SCHOOL LAW "ISSUE OF THE MONTH" February 2003 "NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND" AND ITS IMPLICATIONS FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION While those involved in public school education seek to understand the requirements of the "No Child Left Behind Act of 2001" (NCLB) as they apply to the entire student population, school districts cannot ignore the implications of NCLB for those students who have been identified as disabled under the Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Under NCLB, students with disabilities are one of the major subgroups required to achieve educational proficiency by 2014. NCLB and IDEA are similar in some ways, but in several respects seem to point in opposite directions. The two laws are similar in that both are outcome-oriented, focusing on annual progress (NCLB) or measurable goals and objectives (IDEA). Both laws emphasize reliance on teaching methods which are proven to work, that is, research-based instruction. Likewise, both laws have mandates related to personnel and assessments, and each requires parental notice, participation, and choice. On the other hand, philosophically, NCLB and IDEA appear to be quite different. Special education focuses on programs reasonably calculated to meet the individual child's needs and to enable him or her to derive educational benefit according to his/her capabilities. NCLB mandates outcomes regardless of individual limitations or needs; it requires that all students meet State standards and become "proficient" by the year 2013-14. In other words, NCLB dictates that the achievement "gap" among all groups of students, including disabled children, will close. This gap-closing premise is at odds with special education, which focuses on the individual student, rather than his or her peers. IDEA recognizes that some students will not meet State standards by the end of high school and, therefore, allows those students to receive special education and related services until age 22.

Number 2 Pencil Kimberly's take on testing and education reform Main December 10, 2003 Changing the rules for special education students Those of us who predicted that the NCLB Act regulations affecting special education students would be the first to change were correct - but some South Carolina educators say the changes aren't enough A change announced Tuesday in the federal No Child Left Behind education accountability law recognizes that severely disabled children cannot meet the same academic standards as their nondisabled peers. But local educators complain the U.S. Education Department did not go far enough in revising the law's unrealistic requirements... The rule change announced by U.S. Secretary of Education Rod Paige affects students with the most "significant cognitive disabilities" who don't take the same standardized test as others their age. It allows up to 1 percent of a district's total number of students to test off grade level and still count toward meeting academic progress goals. That means, for example, that a severely disabled eighth-grader whose mind functions like a third-grader, and therefore learns third-grade standards at school, can take the third-grade Palmetto Achievement Challenge Test, and the score will still count...

Links Faculty John Clayton Ann Copsey Martha Hewett Sarah Hodges ... Jim Sosebee Special Education Department The Special Education Department of Greenville High School provides a free appropriate public education to all children with disabilities in accordance with the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). A student comes into the program once meeting the state of South Carolina and Greenville County criteria for a disability. The special education department at GHS serves an average of 180 students on a daily basis, 120 in self-contained classes, and 66 in regular class with support services and/or through the resource program. Nine certified teachers and five teacher aides provide services that cover a wide spectrum. This does not include the speech itinerant teacher nor the visual impaired resource teacher that come on a weekly or daily basis. All students in special education have an Individual Education Plan (IEP) which is developed yearly. Many areas are addressed including student achievement levels, strengths and weaknesses, participation in statewide testing, justification for removal from regular class, documentation for interventions to achieve the least restrictive environment, yearly goals, short term objectives, and others. Special education teachers are required to administer alternate testing for those who do not take part in state testing. The IEP is put into effect after a committee comprised of teachers, student, parent/guardian, counselor, school administrator, and any other interested party reach consensus that the document is appropriate. The IEP is a federal requirement that insures the due process rights of the individual with a disability.

Future Reflections Fall, 2003 back (next contents Learning About the Stars by Penny Leigh Editor’s Note: The following article is reprinted from the September 2001, Volume 6, Number 3, issue of Howe’s Now , Council of Schools for the Blind, newsletter. The article was titled, “NASA-SCSDB Program Makes it Easier For Children with Special Needs to Learn About the Stars.” Penny Leigh is the Public Information Officer for the South Carolina School for the Deaf and the Blind: It’s difficult to learn about the solar system when you can’t see the twinkle of a star or the glow of the moon. But a new program will make it easier for students who are blind or have other disabilities to understand astronomy. South Carolina School of the Deaf and the Blind (SCSDB) staff members spent part of the summer working with National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists on adapting learning materials for the needs of children who are blind or deaf. SCSDB is the only school in the country working with NASA on the pilot project to test and implement the Multisensory Space Science Kit. The new kit will be in use this fall at the Spartanburg school. The kit provides tools designed to provide teachers with the background information and lesson material they need to teach a variety of activities on solar system exploration and planetary science. “NASA was developing materials on its findings for educational classroom use and wanted to adapt them for students who are blind or deaf and make sure they are accessible to all children,” said Lin Mackechnie, SCSDB’s special education director.
