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.

Data Library NEWS RELEASES The Burlington Free Press March 31, 2004 Public Transportation in Vermont Needs to Change By Bill Knight, Executive Director, Chittenden County Metropolitan Planning Organization Chris Cole, General Manager, Chittenden County Transportation Authority The other 14 municipalities in Chittenden County are lacking public bus transportation, as is most of Vermont. Public transportation is even more critical, yet more scattered and uneven, for people in the region who are disabled or elderly. SSTA (Special Service Transportation Agency) vans struggle to meet the needs of seniors and disabled people and others with special needs throughout the county with a hodgepodge of municipal and institutional contracts and some state and federal dollars. Adding to the challenge are changes in the way we live. Not many people stay in the same town all day. U.S. Census figures show that we are traveling further outside our town, and even outside the county we live, in to work, shop, recreate, and even to go to school. Most businesses draw their clientele from towns throughout the region.

ADA Journal (Enter a ZIP) Nutrition services for children with special needs J AM Diet Assoc 1995;95;809 (The expiration date for this position has been delayed until the publication of a new position, "Nutrition services for individuals with developmental disabilities and special health needs.") PDF Version The term "children with special health needs" (CSHN) describes those children who have congenital or acquired conditions that affect physical and/or cognitive growth and development and who require more than the usual pediatric health care. The term refers to children who have developmental disabilities, chronic conditions, or health-related problems as well as those who are at risk for these conditions (1). CSHN must have the opportunity to achieve their potential in all areas of development. Appropriate nutrition services are a critical aspect of the support required for this to occur. CSHN are vulnerable to all of the factors that place other children at nutritional risk, and to a myriad of additional biological, environmental, and psychosocial variables that may further jeopardize their nutritional status and pose barriers to their development. In highlighting the population of CSHN, The American Dietetic Association (ADA) reaffirms its position that all children should have access to adequate nutrition services (2). Position Statement It is the position of The American Dietetic Association that nutrition services are an essential component of comprehensive care for children with special health needs. These nutrition services should be provided within a system of coordinated interdisciplinary services in a manner that is preventive, family centered, community based, and culturally competent.

Education Issues Series Special Education Inclusion Educators' Bulletin Board IDEAS Resource pages on educational issues Professional support ... ONLINE SERVICES This article was updated November 5, 2001 Inclusion remains a controversial concept in education because it relates to educational and social values, as well as to our sense of individual worth. Any discussion about inclusion should address several important questions: Do we value all children equally? Is anyone more or less valuable? What do we mean by "inclusion?" Are there some children for whom "inclusion" is inappropriate? There are advocates on both sides of the issue. James Kauffman of the University of Virginia views inclusion as a policy driven by an unrealistic expectation that money will be saved. Furthermore, he argues that trying to force all students into the inclusion mold is just as coercive and discriminatory as trying to force all students into the mold of a special education class or residential institution. At the other end of the spectrum are those who believe that all students belong in the regular education classroom, and that "good" teachers are those who can meet the needs of all the students, regardless of what those needs may be.

Home Who We Are Opportunities for Educators Advice for Parents ... Support for Kids "the BEST answer to our silent plea..." By Vermont-NEA President Angelo J. Dorta The silent plea for help is a fact of life in many Vermont schools today. It is an exhaustingly urgent plea from teachers and paraeducators for readily available, skilled, and dependable assistance in teaching students who are behaviorally-challenged. I know it firsthand, thanks to the distressing behavior of one particular former student and several others over the years who were nearly as demanding. It grows more widespread and stronger with each passing school day. So then, why is our plea largely unspoken and thus unheard by others? Why is it so rarely uttered aloud, especially to our administrators? Why is it often so difficult to voice deep concern for the well-being of all the students and adults in our classrooms? The primary reason is simple. As educators, we are expected to simultaneously teach and control all of our students at all times. The traditional view of most superintendents, principles, school boards, parents, and even colleagues is that we can and shall carry out this dual task alone. And, of course, remain physically and psychologically unscathed by the cumulative stresses incurred year after year. We quickly and unquestioningly internalized their prevailing expectation when we began careers as inexperienced, naive young teachers and novice paraeducators. From our very first days in the classroom, we have included successful daily performance of such double-duty as an essential element in our own sense of professional self-worth.
