...is a type of instruction according to Thomas (1996) that helps students with Intellectual Disabilities (ID) accomplish the best chance of success and independence, when accompanied with life goal planning, and goal instructional analysis (GIA), which is a fundamental part of the DPE teaching. The DPE process takes lesson planning, breaks down instruction into manageable segments specialized for the individual student, which provide the necessary educational flexibility to ensure successful outcomes. The first step of this process is to diagnose the student’s skill level along with his/her strengths and weaknesses, and then devise or prescribe a lesson path, where student progress can be continually monitored for success. Students with ID present varied abilities and skill limitations which require instruction to be extremely specialized for each individual student. This is where DPE gives students, teachers, and parents the ability to make sound decisions that are tailored to the student’s needs, with the creation of an accurate IEP, curriculum, and assessment program (Thomas, 1996). The first step of this process comes into play with the diagnosis or determination of the student’s strengths and weaknesses, and then followed with a prescription, or detailed plan of action, to improve the students achievement levels. According to Mrs. Beckstead (2013), a veteran special education teacher of twenty-five years, DPE affords the special education team the ability to observe each...

...Reflective practice is communication, knowledge, skills, values and belief and reflection in the daily lives of individuals. Part of the goal of reflective practice is to serve the community, while demonstrating a passion for the environment. The skills individuals develop helps with reasoning, which advances the delivery of comprehending and understanding. According to Attard (2012) “reflection is very individual and personal, on the one hand, while on the other hand it is collective by nature” (p. 204). Action Research is a method of reflective practice that is encouraging and involves systematic change in teaching that allows the teacher to take the right direction to enhance student learning. According to Bevins et al. (2011) “action research develops through a self-reflective spiral of cycles, which include planning, implementing, observing, reflecting and re-implementing” (p.401). Action Research provides new learning techniques for teaching and provides knowledge for the rest of your life. In action research many believe that the term reflection can be misleading. According to Casey (2012) “insider action research is shown as a tool for positioning the practitioner in the ‘betweenness’ of theory and practice” (p.221). It is suggest that teaching is being altered and deemed to be more accurate. Engaging in action research can improve teaching practice and theory. Action Research involves the physical act of being involved and becoming hands-on. After steeping back...

...path of the curriculum being taught. This model acclimates to students, rather than expecting students to adjust to it. As with my particular classroom practices, I believe that coaching and learning through the multiple intelligences helps solve many collective school problems and elevates the learning experience for students and teachers alike. Students begin to appreciate how they are intelligent. Learning is both a social and psychological aspect of the curriculum. Once students comprehend the equilibrium of their own multiple intelligences they start to manage their own learning and to value their specific assets. GOALS The goal of using multiple intelligences educational theory is for students to become well-adjusted persons who can function as providers of their culture. Teachers...

...Leadership for Differentiated Education Environment Dr. Patricia Raney August 13, 2012 Differentiated & Culturally Relevant Instruction American classrooms are full of diverse learners. Some educational practices of the past no longer meet the needs of the ever-changing classroom demographic. As classroom demographics change, so must the perspective of educators charged with educating young people. It is the responsibility of teacher leaders everywhere to find meaningful ways to reach their students. With the growing popularity of professional learning communities on school campuses, teachers can take advantage of professional development prospects enabling them to establish differentiated instructional strategies that give all students equal access and opportunities to learn. Teacher leaders have several roles. To begin with, as lifelong learners these leaders “foster a collaborative culture to support educator development and student learning” (Teachers as leaders, 2011). In other words, teacher leaders are dedicated to improving educational outcomes for students, expanding the professional communities that they work in and creating positive culture. Positive school culture is vital to both students and staff. Roby (2011) offers that “Teacher leaders not only have the ability to shape the culture of the workplace, but if they are operating from a moral mindset, an obligation to do so is imminent” (p. 782). Furthermore, teacher...

...Educating Special Needs Students Educating Special Needs Students Successful teaching, in general, calls for creativity, patience, flexibility, patience, expertise and a lot of patience. Successful teaching of special needs students magnifies the importance of these traits even more so. Mental retardation, autism, severe and even multiple disabilities, while posing additional impact and challenges on the education process for students, these issues are in no way insurmountable. Well thought out curriculum plans implemented through special policy, services, and programs are necessary to ensure that any student has every opportunity available to them for a successful education experience that will carry through beyond their student years. Mental retardation is descriptive of a disability that includes both intellectual as well as behavioral problems and until recently, was often used as a blanket statement to cover a wide variety, if not all, disabilities. In 2006, The American Association on Mental Retardation changed its name to The American Association of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (AAID, 2009) to reflect a change in this attitude. They state that “intellectual disability is one that is characterized by significant limits both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills (AAID, 2009). While a number of the causes of intellectual disabilities are still...

...Problem Solution: Intersect Investment Services Intersect Investment Services (IIS) is a financial services industry company which has been struggling to survive in a market which has been in constant state of flux, never certain and always chaotic (University of Phoenix, 2008). IIS has “barely managed to survive, but resisted making a drastic, strategic shift” (University of Phoenix, 2008, p. 1). The changed market conditions have led to the changed vision of IIS which is: “Provide a broad set of products and services to consumer and small business customers using a model of customer intimacy that will build long-term relationships based on trust and value to the customer” (University of Phoenix, 2008, p. 1). This new vision has not been realized yet and therefore, the Executive Vice President of Marketing and Sales has been released of his duties and was replaced by Janet Angelo as new Executive VP of Marketing and Sales. A number of reasons contribute to the fact that why the transformation of IIS was not successful and these reasons are (1) no clear communication about how the change should take place, (2) no explaining and reinforcing on why the change should take place, (3) resistance to the change of key personnel, and (4) the goals to achieve were not aligned with the new strategy. No clear communication has been identified by Kreitner and Kinicki (2004) as one of the main reasons why organizational change initiatives fail. The communication of organizational change...

...only where instruction takes place but also the methods, media and equipment needed to convey information and guide the learner’s study. Information and environment can be arranged on a continuum from very formal to very informal. The relationship between information and environment can change depending on the instructional goal. The arrangement of information and the environment is normally the responsibility of the instructor and the designers of media. The choice of the strategy of instruction determines the environment (the methods, media, equipment and facilities) and how the information is assembled and used. The method can range from teacher control to learner control. Learning is the development of new knowledge, skills, or attitudes when the individual interacts with information and environment. Learning takes place all the time. We learn something just walking down the street and observing what goes on around us, or watching TV, or conversing with other people. But this type of incidental learning is not our major interest as education and training professionals. We are primarily concerned with the learning that takes place in response to our instructional efforts. How we design and arrange instruction...

...Introduction United States legislative changes, such as those described by federal laws such as Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA) reauthorized in 2004 (Pub. L. No. 108-466) and the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act of 2001 (Pub. L. No. 107–110), require that students with increasingly diverse learning characteristics have access to and achieve high academic performance in the general education curriculum. The changing demographics of the United States have also played a role in diverse learning characteristics of the American learners in classrooms today. With an educational system that serves approximately 76,355,000 students, 30,982,000 or 40.58% are of an ethnically diverse background and 5% of school age children have a disability (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). These changing legal requirements and student demographics in United States educational systems combine pointing to the need for increased collaborative planning and teaching among school personnel attempting to comply with these legal mandates to serve all students fairly and equitably in general education classrooms. Co-teaching is an approach that helps educators meet both IDEIA and NCLB mandates, and is defined as “two or more people sharing responsibility for teaching some or all of the students assigned to a classroom” (Villa, Thousand, & Nevin, 2008, p. 5). In schools within the United States, co-teaching often involves general education and special education teachers working...

...Philippine Education For All 2015: Implementation and Challenges I. General Introduction 1. Filipinos have deep regard to for education. Education occupies a central place in Philippine political, economic social and cultural life. It has always been strongly viewed as a pillar of national development and a primary avenue for social and economic mobility. 2. A clear evidence of the value placed on education is the proportion of the national government budget going to the sector. The Department of Education (DepEd), the country’s biggest bureaucracy 1 , is given the highest budget allocation among government agencies each year as required by the 1987 Philippine Constitution.2 3. The 1987 Constitution likewise guarantees the right to education of every Filipino. It provided that, “The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take appropriate steps to make education accessible to all.” . 4. The right of every Filipino to quality basic education is further emphasized in Republic Act 9155 or the Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001. Along with Republic Act 6655 or the Free Secondary Education Act, these laws reaffirm the policy of the State to protect and promote the rights of all Filipinos by providing children free and compulsory education in the elementary and high school level. This pertains to six years of free tuition fees for children aged 6 to 11, and free four years of secondary schooling for those aged...
