Special education experience needed ESE-690-AP-2003A: CUR DESGN IN ESE

Part 1: Module 7 : Reflection 1 -- Video - The Power of Inclusive Education Our final video for this course describes and discusses the power of inclusive education. Many educators who have had no formal professional development related to working with students with disabilities feel that they are simply not adequately prepared to have these students included in their general education classrooms. However, regardless of the personal feelings of the teachers, most students with unique needs are now spending at least a portion of their school day with their non-disabled peers. The following reflection prompts are designed to help you more closely examine these concepts and share your personal feelings and opinions about them as an educator. Instructions: View the video assigned for this week. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIPsPRaZP6M&feature=emb_logo After viewing the video, provide a written response to the reflection prompts below: 1. Share your personal feelings about having students with disabilities, regardless of the level of severity of the disability, included in the general education classroom for all or part of the school day. 2. Cite at least three points made by the speaker in the video that had an impact on you, either positive or negative, and describe your feelings related to those points. Submission Instructions: 1. Respond to the prompts thoroughly, following the APA guidelines when citing references from the video, article, book, and other sources. 2. Your responses must be a minimum of 2 paragraphs and clearly written without grammatical and/or spelling errors. 3. Students are reminded to use respectful language that is void of any derogatory terms or slurs. These instructions are to be applied to both posts--your initial response and feedback provided to your peers.

The following discussion prompts are designed to help you more closely examine this concept.

Discuss how the special education professional leading the IEP team, communicates and works collaboratively with the other teachers, related service providers, and family members. 2.
