Merkel Elementary Principle
06/23/2013

Discipline can be a challenge at any level weather it is elementary school or high school. Teachers and administrators are faced with many challenges. Included in this summery is an interview with the Merkel Elementary Principle as well as the Merkel high school principle. These two principles share some of their insight into special education and the disciple challenges they face. 1.Mrs. Woolard- Young students can get distracted easily and there is always the possibility of the class being disrupted.
Mr. Allen- One issue we have in the high school is how to handle a disruptive student who can become a potential danger to him or herself as well as the teachers and students in school. This does not happen very often …show more content…
Woolard- When a student violates the rules at school teachers and administrators will consider each violation and determine the best action to take.
Mr. Allen-Unless the behavior that caused the discipline problem is the directly related to the child 's disability, the student will receive the same discipline that a regular education student would receive.
4.Mrs. Woolard-No not at the elementary level.
Mr. Allen-Not to my knowledge, I think that the regular education students probably think that the special education students get special treatment because of being out of class so much.
5.Mrs. Woolard- Yes, we explain the discipline procedures to our parents in the IEP meetings
Mr. Allen-Yes, When the students are behavioral the discipline is discussed at their IEP meeting. Their BIP is discussed.
6.Mrs. Woolard- If there is a student with behavior problems many times the regular education students parents do not like this because it takes the teacher away from teaching the other students. They also feel there is a safety issue.
Mr. Allen- Most parents do not have a problem with the difference in discipline, if there is a problem we try to explain to the parent why special education students are sometimes disciplined differently from regular education …show more content…
They both work hard to make sure that the special education students as well as the regular education students are treated fairly. When it is necessary for discipline actions to be taken the school must follow the IDEA regulations. At both campuses students with disabilities have an IEP which has been developed especially for that one student. The IEP determines the students placement, but it also outlines what steps can be taken when the student violates school rules. The school can impose a suspension on students with disabilities for a short time as long as the same actions are taken when students that do not have disabilities violates a school

    Field Experience in Elem. School

    I have conducted my field of experience at Westside Elementary School, second and third grade classroom. The third grade class consists of 20 students. The teacher does not have any aide even though she needs some assistance, because two of her students are falling behind. The sad part about this is that the students have not being diagnosed yet, but they are having a lot of difficulties. The teacher mentioned that by fourth or fifth grade those two students will need to be placed in a special education classroom. The students both have a concentration problem and it causes them to struggle with reading, writing, math, listening, and speaking. The teacher asked me to focus on and help these two students, while observing the rest of the class. On my second day, I went to Mrs. Bellamy’s Classroom; a second grade teacher. In this paper I am detonating the two different teaching styles that I observed, and the way the student are responding.…

    SPE-355 History Of Special Education Law

    From the beginning of time until the end of time, there will always be students who require special education services. Throughout the 20th century, there have been many laws written to try and protect and help students with disabilities. Two in particular are the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA 1990). Special education classes were available in the 1950’s, but the outcome for the students was not what parents expected. The students in these classes could not preform academically, and were considered unteachable. They…

    Public Agency Case Study

    Within ten instructional days of any removal that results in a change of placement, the case conference committee is required to meet to determine whether the student’s behavior is an indicator of the student’s disability. At this meeting, the necessary information must be reviewed from the student’s current records. This information includes the individual education plan, teacher information, and all of the necessary information for parents Generally, the case conference committee determines if the student’s conduct was caused by, or had a direct substantial relationship to, the student’s individual disability or if the direct result of the public agency’s failure to implement the IEP. If the committee finds that the answer to either of the question is yes, the behavior of the student is considered to be a manifestation of the student’s disability. However, if the conduct was the direct result of the public agency’s failure to implement the IEP, the public agency must take direct steps to fix those insufficiencies (Discipline procedures,…

    Portfolio: Lesson Plan

    The most important strategy for teachers to accommodate special needs students’ learning is to collaborate with special education teachers and staff. Teachers should take advantage of the expertise of the special education teacher, as they are the ones who have the extensive training working with learning and behavioral disabilities. A long-term commitment must be made to get the appropriate and necessary training, plus the technical assistance. An IEP team reviews the standards and the performance tasks for each student with special needs and develops a plan together. During this time, any modifications or accommodations are made for the student and it is decided who will be responsible for the implementation of these. The student is then monitored and a decision is made as to whom is responsible for the effectiveness of the accommodation and if any adjusts need to be made. The student is then evaluated by the team after they have discussed how they will evaluate the student. Teachers should always use the IEP as a resource for the specific goals and objective for the individual student, plus it may include strategies to help the student…

    AED/222: The Controversy Of Medication

    It is hard as an educator to watch a child struggle to learn on the same level as their peers, to focus, and to stay on task. Especially when it is clear that the child has an inability to do all of the above, and could possibly have attention deficit disorder (ADHA) or an emotional behavior disorder (EBD) causing these inabilities. As an educator you want to do what is best for the educational success of all of your students. However, without the proper intervention it is not possible to do so. As a parent it is hard to hear that your child has a disability, we might notice small and sometimes abnormal…

    J. B. Hunt Elementary Classroom Observation

    I observed Mrs. Collier’s first grade class at J.B. Hunt elementary on Thursday September 13, 2015. The classroom had a great climate and was decorated nicely. She had bright posters hanging on the wall as well as many colorful boxes, curtains, and chairs around the room. The desks were set up in one giant “U” with Mrs. Collier sitting in the middle. It was a great set up for the kids because they could easily see her and she could easily see them. The dynamics in the classroom seemed great because she connected well with each student and was interested in what they had to say. The students behavior seemed very respectful towards her and they listened when she asked them to do something. Mrs. Collier’s equity between her and her students was…
