Science Classrooms for Students with Special Needs. ERIC Digest. THIS DIGEST WAS CREATED BY ERIC, THE EDUCATIONAL RESOURCES INFORMATION CENTER. FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT ERIC, CONTACT ACCESS ERIC 1-800-LET-ERIC Legal resolutions, concerns of parents, and new research on learning and socialization have led to widespread efforts to place students with special needs in regular classrooms, a practice known as "inclusion." According to the report on Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering (1996), approximately 6% of children in the United States were in federally-supported special educational programs during the 1992-1993 school year, up 1.5% from 15 years earlier. The number of disabled students participating in regular classrooms has risen by 10% during the last five years (Roach et al., 1997). The manifestation of particular disabilities varies widely among students with special needs, but over half of the identified disabilities are learning disabilities. Other disabilities include speech and language difficulties, mental retardation, and serious emotional difficulties. Physical disabilities are relatively rare, constituting less than 2% of those identified as having disabilities (Women, Minorities, and Persons with Disabilities in Science and Engineering:1996, 1996).

22. Multimedia Tools For Special Needs Education Inclusion CDRom Book Dr. Andrews has developed a series of practical templates and a comprehensive methodology of inclusion of special needs students into General Education. http://www.proculture.com/work.htm

Working Together: Multimedia Tools for Inclusion Description: All the tools needed for a comprehensive communication and collaboration plan designed to support divers Special Needs students. Indispensable to every K-12 teacher for the successful inclusion of Special Needs learners. Manage student records... Choose and implement strategies... Develop instructional goals and objectives... These are the goals of all Special Needs support persons. But the realities of modern education proves that these are much easier said than done. One of the advantages of presenting this methodology in a multimedia structure is that it provides the reader with instant access to any part of the manual and to any tool. The "Main Menu" which serves as a table of contents, also allows the reader to call up any section, page or table. Video clips of Dr. Andrews’ university class for Special Needs Educators give a more personal depth to certain details of the Manual section as well as tips to the teachers. The Cases presented illustrate just how these tools can be adapted to the many facets of Special Needs Education. So many of the apprehensions which are involved in the Inclusion of Special Needs students dissolve as the pages turn, as the tables are explained, printed and filled in. Indeed, they are indispensable... Contents: This interactive book is divided essentially into three main sections: Part I: Manual Introduction; Chapter One: Planning Ahead, Preparing for Successful Inclusion; Chapter Two: Getting Started, Establishing a Communication Plan; Chapter Three: Instructional Planning; Chapter Four: Keeping on Top of Things, Monitoring Student Progress; Chapter Five: Taking Action, Developing Solutions Together; Chapter Six: Tools for Success, Ideas and Samples for Improving Student Performance; Chapter Seven: Evaluation, The Connecting Link

Annotated Bibliography Building a full service school. A step-by-step guide. San Francisco, CA: Jossey-Bass, Inc. Characteristic: Climate for Inclusion Indicator: Comprehensive programs are inclusive of all students, regardless of their emotional, intellectual, social, or physical needs. Sample Policies and Programs Stage 1 The school refers students with special needs to participate in the after-school program. The program coordinator requests information about students with special needs that are attending the program and, as a consequence, the program coordinator purchases some simple assistive technology devices (e.g., switches, pencil grips, special computer software, etc.) for students with special needs. The local fire department builds a sidewalk in a park nearby to make sure that a student in a wheelchair can participate in all the program activities. Stage 2 The program staff sets up a three-day planning session with other after-school programs and the special area classroom teachers to adapt the curriculum and environment for children with special needs. University undergraduate and graduate students majoring in foreign languages plan international events, including food and costumes. University students earn class credit for their contributions to the program.

25. Inclusion Initiative, New York City In grades four and five, inclusion Initiative classrooms enroll 28 general education students and eight students with special education needs. http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/students/earlycld/ea4lk17.htm

Inclusion Initiative, New York City The Inclusion Initiative (formerly called the Early Childhood Initiative) in New York City is an early childhood and elementary program that combines general education students and children with special needs in the same classroom. Funded by New Visions for Public Schools , the program emphasizes team teaching of special education and general education teachers, heterogeneous mixing of students, developmentally appropriate practice, authentic assessment, parent and family involvement in children's learning, and professional development. In addition to combining early childhood education and special education, some of the classrooms taking part in the initiative also are bilingual. The overall goal of the program, according to Rodriguez (1997), is "to create child-centered learning environments that encourage early school successes for all students and to eliminate tracking that occurs as children with diverse strengths and needs progress through the city school system" (p. 1). She adds that the program model includes "not only the full range of general education studentsfrom struggling to excelling studentsbut also students with a wide range of special education designationsfrom mild to severe" (p. 2). The special-needs students are fully integrated into the classroom with its challenging curriculum and high standards. In each classroom, the use of team teaching (a general education teacher and a special education teacher), a classroom assistant or paraprofessional, and smaller class size allows the teachers to provide individualized attention to each student.

About SABES Contact Us Site Map What's New ... Other Sites Learning From Inclusion by Erik Jacobson Field Notes main page Summer 2000 issue W hile the inclusion of students with special needs is not often discussed in the context of adult education, there are opportunities for this type of instructional model. I am currently teaching an inclusive ESOL class at the Haitian American Public Health Initiative (HAPHI) in Mattapan (as part of a collaboration with the Center for World Languages and Cultures at UMass/Boston). In this class, "traditional" ESOL students are joined by participants from HAPHI's Young Adult day program, which offers vocational and social skills training for young adults with special needs. Goals for Inclusion In keeping with the goals of inclusive education, our expectations for the class are that all students will increase their English and literacy skills, that the day program students will gain confidence in their interactions with the larger community, and that the "traditional" students will develop a heightened sensitivity about the strengths and needs of individuals with disabilities. Since we just began the class a little over a year ago, we're still learning about how to make inclusive adult education work. Some of the most important lessons we have learned are noted below. Focus on Specific Abilities Teaching this inclusive class is difficult at times because of the mixed-level student population. However, when thinking about a class as mixed-level, it should not be assumed that students can be placed in single, fixed categories (such as Advanced or Beginner).

General Info Academics Athletics Site Map ... Home Special Education As a comprehensive urban high school, West Roxbury High recognizes its responsibility to identify and to provide appropriate special education to students with a wide spectrum of needs. The Special Education Department has procedures regarding the pre-referral and referral process, evaluation, re-evaluation, annual reviews, service delivery, semi-annual reports, and other processes that are in compliance with Chapter 766 and PL 94-142, and are consistent with the general philosophy of our high school. Due process and parental rights are closely observed in the entire process. Award-winning city-wide magnet programs for the Hearing Impaired and Physically Handicapped are offered to appropriate students along with 766 programs for students with low cognitive skills, inadequate academic skills, learning disabilities, and inappropriate social and emotional skills. Students, parents, and staff are closely involved in all phases of the evaluation so that appropriate educational services are provided in a timely manner, labels are avoided, and students remain in the least restrictive placement.

39. Inclusion Info: Cordley Elementary the success of our inclusion project was found in helping special education and explore ways of working together to better meet the needs of all students. http://schools.usd497.org/cordley/QPA/inclusion.html

Inclusion Information Many years ago, Cordley was the elementary school designated to house self-contained classrooms for all students in the district who received special education service for mild, moderate or severe mental retardation. Gradually, the programs for students with moderate and severe mental retardation were moved to other buildings. At Cordley, only self-contained classrooms for students with mild mental retardation remained. In addition to the students with mild mental retardation, students with learning disabilities, behavior disorders, or speech and language difficulties were served at Cordley through pull-out programs.. "Mainstreaming" was the first step to inclusive schooling at Cordley. Some students with special needs began going to art, music, physical education, lunch and recess with their peers. Gradually, special and general education teachers began seeing other ways for students with special needs to be involved: Listening to stories, participating in science activities and reading group, and joining peers in classroom parties. A big step towards inclusive schooling came when the principal and special education teachers prepared the Cordley staff to have all students with special needs placed in homerooms with their peers. Students began and ended their day in those homerooms and participated in many "mainstreamed" activities throughout the day. This led to the end of self-contained classrooms and the formation of two interrelated resource rooms.
