BEA ALP Case Study

Part A: The candidate with the approval of the school leadership will establish a professional learning community with a minimum of three peers to research areas of need in student learning and development in school.

During the 2011-2012 school year I began working in a new school in South Los Angeles. The neighborhood was rough riddled with gang violence and turf wars. To compound the stress of being in a new environment the speech therapist, Judeen, assigned as my supervisor was also new to the school site and had never worked at a school before. We were both overwhelmed with the amount of “catch up” work assigned to us. Services had not been provided for the 4 months prior to our arrival.

While working as an aide in multiple classrooms in the school age program at CCDD, my interest in a side of psychology that I had known little about before, quickly grew. The experience I had my first semester interning led me to accept a part-time position as an instructor’s assistant for the program for the rest of the year. Throughout the year, my position provided me with a greater understanding of the needs of diverse learners and the tools needed to ensure that all children

The main problem that I perceive from the Case of Leigh Scott is that both Dale and Aaron are doing the same work, with the same grades yet one has an explicit learning disability who receives lots of support and the other is not receiving enough support. Dale has a clear learning disability and thus receives not only support from Meg, the resource room teacher, who “helped Dale prepare for Leigh’s class” (Leigh Scott: Case Study, p. 29), he also receives support and encouragement from Leigh even though he does not do much work. Aaron on the other hand receives little to no support from Leigh even though he has constantly not come to class prepared, puts his head down during discussions and has done poorly on his assignments.

How much is the cost to join AAPC? To join as an individual you need to pay $110 and for a corporation to join they need to pay $950 annual feed due. AAPC examinations cost $300. and if in case you are already affiliated or enrolled in the AAPC accredited program, you are qualified for a discounted fee of $260. students that fail the exam the first time are normally allowed to do one free retake.

I spent the days leading up to the first day studying each student, reading case notes, and profiles to better understand identification number they were given. Ironically, five of my students were learning disabled and I knew exactly how they felt. I took my own learning experiences and developed lesson plans based around sports, music, and entertainment, creating an empowering curriculum relevant to their knowledge. The day quickly approached and before I knew it I was signed over the responsibility of over 80 students, each with a different personality, and each with different obstacles and barriers. Ironically, five of my students were learning disabled and I knew exactly how they felt. I took my own learning experiences and developed lesson plans based around sports, music, and entertainment, creating an empowering curriculum relevant to their

I could not get an accurate number of how many enrollments they were for this year, but through the facts I collected they’re about 13,123-15,294 enrollments of this fall, 2013.

Since its inception in 1991, ABTPA has provided 265 million dollars of state funding to 628 grants to supplement local law enforcement and public awareness efforts across the state. Subsequent to the creation of TxDMV in 2009, ABTPA has not received a significant increase in appropriations. FY 2011 was ABTPA’s first year completely as a TxDMV line-item under the General Appropriations Act (FY09-10 was still funded by TxDOT). The 81st Legislature appropriated $15,214,355 to ABTPA in FY2011, its largest appropriation as a member of TxDMV to date. Conversely, the appropriations made by the 83rd Legislature $14,907,341 and $14,904,340, for FY2014 and FY2015 respectively, are the lowest ABTPA has received as a part of TxDMV.

At the site base meeting it was noted that students are required to attend tutorials with Mr. Qualls after they have failed two consecutive six weeks. The teachers in attendance made various suggestions on how to be proactive to reach the students earlier in the semester to enable students to be successful the following six week. One common thread in the suggestions was to use 5th period as a pull-out program so teachers could work one on one with their student’s that need additional learning time in a particular subject that the student had failed the previous six weeks. Since students are currently assigned to a teacher’s attendance roster, an idea that was discussed by Mr. Bennett and Mrs. Hendrix, was to have teachers communicate with

Given the cumulative negative effects of summer learning loss, what can educators, administrators, and parents

Dong Ap Bia! “The Mountain of the Crouching Beast”. Beast, is exactly what the soldiers of the 3-187th, 101 Airborne (ABN) Division encountered on Hill 937, most commonly referred to as “Hamburger Hill”, in North Vietnam. A battle that lasted only10 days, cost 56 U.S. Soldiers their lives, 367 more wounded, and leaving all that survived asking themselves “Was it worth it?” Which was a scribed on a piece of cardboard stabbed into a blacked-out tree, (Time, 1969), after the hill was secured and occupied by U.S. troops.

During the air mission brief (AMB) COL Jones, the BCT commander, wanted to have another serial of aircraft land into the LZ, so he could have more Soldiers on the objective. COL Smith, the AATFC, was hesitant to COL Jones’ change request for the air assault. Why do you think the AATFC was hesitant?

The AECOPD are the leading cause of medical consultation and hospitalization in patients with COPD, also determining degradation of quality of life and aggravation the anatomical and functional damage and respiratorio5-12 placing it is self directly or indirectly as a frequent cause of mortality 13-17, which can reach percentages very high even at the time of discharge distance in severe patients hospitalized and needing ventilation mechine18. The AECOPD correlate with the severity of COPD, being more frequent in patients with major functional impairment and can leave the patient temporarily in significant physical disability conditions even after the from hospital 19,20 discharges. Recently it was also shown a grouping temporary exacerbation,

If these students were placed in a regular classroom, they were often functionally excluded, when no support was provided for the child or the teacher. In addition, many students were misclassified following inaccurate assessment, placement or tracking. These past practices have been deemed in violation of a student’s constitutional rights. As a result, IDEA now requires that the educational program that is developed by the IEP team provide the child with opportunities in the least restrictive environment (LRE). LRE is the most normal setting that is possible for the student. The team should take several things into consideration when making this determination. First, they must compare the benefits in the regular class and the benefits in the special class. The U.S. Court of Appeals determined that the appropriateness of placement in the regular classroom is not dependent on the student’s ability to learn the same things the other students learn in the regular classroom. The benefit of social interaction should also be taken into account. Second, consideration should be given to the potentially beneficial or harmful effects that placement in the regular classroom may have on the students involved. Finally, cost should be considered when determining the appropriateness of student placement.

The modern classroom has many challenges that face it. Shrinking budgets, less parental involvement, higher expectations, and growing class sizes, just to name a few. If this list was not daunting enough you also have the special needs students that have an array problems in your classroom that need specialized attention, lessons and seating. There are many forms of diverse learners from students who suffer from ADHD to physical disabilities to students with autism to ones that are bullied in school. There are so many things going on in our students lives we sometimes forget they have lives, pressures and disabilities that affect their performance and attitude in our class that have a profound impact on how they learn.
