Classroom Scheduling

Students with disabilities need to be physically, programmatically, and interactionally included in classroom activities that have been planned by a qualified teacher in conjunction with support staff as needed.

Historically, students with disabilities were served in separate facilities or not at all; however, a more modern approach to education deems that all students should be served in the least restrictive environments. At first, students with disabilities were served in inclusion classrooms which are still used today, but there is evidence that a student with disabilities are better served when they attend inclusion classes instead; thus, depending on the level of the disability, some students spend all day in a self-contained classroom, some spend only a part of the day, and some are completely in inclusion classes. Thus, the two classroom styles will be compared using the observations

Everyone has always hated getting up super early to go to school. As children get older they move to different schools, from elementary to middle to high school, and the start times get earlier. In elementary school it was never a problem getting up but getting older, it always got harder to get up and the days were always longer. Schools start so early in the morning that it is hard to focus and students tend to miss more of their earlier classes and attend all of their later classes. Schools everywhere should start later because it would benefit the students and teachers.

In today's society, most people desire success. They want to attend a respected college, earn exceptional grades, get a wonderful job, and make a lot of money. However, the road to success starts before all of those accomplishments can happen. This journey begins in the classroom. In the classroom, over 25% of all high-school students fall asleep one or more times a week (Mayer-Hohdahl 1). Why does this happen? Schools have sleepy students because of their early start times. "Starting high school early is probably one of the worst things you can do as far as timing the day, as far as adolescents being alert or ready" (Wooley 2). This is a serious problem in high schools all across the nation. Students are tired, and teachers are

Many parents and students believe that school starts too early,I agree with them school hours should be pushed back.But some may argue why would this be necessary,or what can this change affect them. This change is beneficial for the students,in many ways such as conduct,grades,and tardies that is why pushing back school one hour will help and I will tell you how.

Typically, people enjoy receiving an extra hour of sleep, even an extra five minutes of sleep. Teens are just one group of people who enjoy sleep. Unfortunately, teens are unable to obtain the correct number of hours per night. Later school start times would be beneficial because the schools would see an impact on attendance, increased school performance, and based on several studies, students would receive the recommended amount of sleep. The psychological effects would greatly outweigh the negative effects caused by an early start time. Benefits of a later start time include, better health, improved grades and teens reaching the recommended amount of sleep per night. Downfalls of starting school later would be transportation issues, coddling

“One of the essential roles of special education teachers is coteaching and working with other professionals, as well as communicating with family members and between special education teachers and other school-related professionals(Vaughn & Bos, 2015, p. 114)”. With the importance of a least restrictive environment special education and general education teachers are working together in a classroom with varying levels and abilities of learners. It is vitally important to have an effective relationship between the two teachers while developing and implementing lesson plans for learners with special needs. The physical space and dynamics of the classroom should fit the needs of the students and the established procedures should ensure a highly functional environment. Importantly, educators need to communicate to families “encouragement about what they can do at home and about an effective plan for providing instructional supports for their child(Vaughn & Bos, 2015, p. 114)”.

Children with disabilities need to be recognized as individuals as well as be valued for the people they will grow to be. In the classroom the growing process can be difficult to achieve depending on the nature and severity of the disability. Not all children will be served by full inclusion, some students have disabilities that require medical attention or physical facilities such as specially equipped bathrooms, ramps or elevators that may not be found in the traditional school building. For example, a child with severe cerebral palsy with severe limb constriction, lack of bowel control, inability to feed themselves and confined to a wheelchair, inclusion could cause more harm than good. This student requires medical aid to care for physical

According to the foundations of Inclusion video the three key elements to the best inclusive practice are: access, participation and support. Access is allowing the student to get the education they deserve and making it easier on them. Students with disabilities should be allowed to have recess and go on fieldtrips with other students and teachers should help them accomplish that. Teachers are also encouraged to modify lesson plans so everyone in the classroom understands. Participation helps to make sure the student engages and fully understands what is being taught. Teachers can help with participation by interacting with the student and helping them to understand in different ways other than just speaking with them. Lastly, is support

“zzzzzzzzz’s” kids aren’t getting enough sleep because of early school start times.We need to make start times later so America is not the most sleep deprived nation in the world. I am going to tell you why school start times should be later and what happens when you are sleep deprived. We need to make school start times later so American kids are not so sleep deprived.

For Amir to participate in schooling on the same basis as students without a disability, a supplementary level of adjustment needs to be made to these main areas of impact to ensure his capacity to learn is not limited. Supplementary adjustments are made at specific times to “Address the nature and impact of the student’s disability and any associated barriers to their learning, physical, communication or participatory needs.” (Australian Government Department of Education and Training (DET). n.d.) While Amir’s learning abilities and communication are at an age appropriate level, he does require some modification of worksheets and tasks to communicate his understandings of the course material without writing with pen and paper. Amir may use specialised technology to assist his learning. The time allowance in certain tasks may need to be adjusted to allow for use of this specialised equipment (Conway, 2014, p 146.). The school environment and buildings including the classroom will need to be modified for Amir to easily access the school facilities with his wheelchair. Amir may require specialised support at times but is independent at most times. For these reasons I believe a supplementary level of adjustment is most appropriate for Amir to achieve the same learning experiences as other

At one point in the school year, I was an inclusion teacher in six different subjects daily. Was it fair to expect proficiency from me with that type of schedule, in addition to other special education duties, like orderliness of files and manifestation meetings? Since I am no longer an inclusion teacher, my observations are purely mines. I have complete control over, and understanding of, the planned tasks. Nonetheless, there are teachers still experiencing similar unfair observations.

Planning each day can be a challenging task. Teachers, who have worked with students of both disabled and non-disabled, have

One specialized instruction that is important is to read the material or introduce books that have children with disabilities in it. This will help show the differences are okay and that everyone has strengths and weaknesses (Willis, 2006). Something else I have to do is truly comprehended the understudy and their handicap, accordingly permitting me to have the capacity to unmistakably select housing to be made important to the material. I feel that the exceptionally guideline is to keep the family included at all times also, permitting them in the classroom. This will permit them to check whether the IEP/OR 504 arrangement is helping their youngster and permit them to make proposals on the best way to help their tyke in the room setting.. The understudy's dynamic IEP or 504 Plan ought to contain documentation for all housing that have been chosen, both for guideline and testing. Once recorded in the IEP or 504 Plan, facilities must be given. Those in charge of actualizing lodging must comprehend the facilities are compulsory, not discretionary (Cortiella, 2005). However, with that being said the children should be allotted plenty of time to adjust to such accommodations and not over use it or under use

Separate special education provides no guarantee of success for children who need special attention. Students with special needs may fail to conform to the expectations of school and society, (Carter, Lewis, & Wheeler 2017) Inclusion may present issues for teachers that do not possess the skills to make it work. Teachers must collaborate with a team of professional to plan and implement instruction for students in an inclusive environment. Students without disabilities could begin to see the students with disabilities as a distraction in the class depending on the needs of the student with disabilities.
