Special Ed Child Observation Report

The issue the author has presented in chapter 5 is what should educators teach students with moderate and severe developmental disabilities. The author states that she became interested in studying how students with moderate and severe disabilities might meet grade level academic content expectations mandated by No Child Left Behind. Despite the lack of evidence on teaching grade level academic content to students with cognitive disabilities, the federal government required schools to include students with moderate to severe disabilities in school accountability systems.

Early national period, permits monitorial schools, religious organization, and free school societies to fill the space before state systems came about. Laws were given for a vast amount of sovereignty to be delegated to local school boards while financial support largely depended on local property tax (Pulliam & Van, 2013). With these conditions, it was normal for districts authorities to maintain power and more control by the state. Pulliam & Van (2013) stated back in the early national period, Henry Bernard and Horace Mann constructed their personal state school system without seizing the policy making power of boards of education. During the World War II, the customs of local autonomy have caused conflict with state legislatures. Currently, state governments and departments of education have a more vigorous role in teachers’ certification, creating lists of appropriate course materials and even directing the curriculum (Pulliam & Van, 2013). Multiple states

It was October and time for my yearly checkup. Upon arrival, I was informed my doctor was not in however, Dr. West would be with me shortly. It turns out the doctor had a special interest in nutrition. I thought I had a proper diet and was in good health until I was seen by the new doctor.

When I first started this pediatric rotation, I knew it was going to be hard to get my hours. This was mainly due to me only being able to do mostly 8-hour shifts for my internship, which was in Pueblo. This made it hard to travel back and worth between there and Alamosa then to Monte Vista. Monte Vista is where Bill Metz Elementary is located. Plus, I had no idea what to expect from my school nurse. I was; however excited to have this unique experience. After doing the first 8 hours, I was looking forward to doing the rest of the hours. I enjoyed my time with my preceptor and the kids. I have always loved working with kids with my past experience volunteering with special needs children with my mom.

On 10-25-2017 at 1203 hours I observed two females walking away from the rear of a residence where officers were responding to an assault call.

Great job with the post. Reminding parents about vaccination is an excellent way to increase immunization rates in children. During my pediatric rotation I came across many children who were behind on their immunization. According to Clark, Butchart, Kennedy & Dombkowski (2011) immunization reminders are effective in increasing vaccination rates in children. Immunization reminders are frequently done through mail, however, parents address changes, the receipt of the letter is unknown and lag in mail delivery is common and timing is uncertain. Clark, Butchart, Kennedy & Dombkowski (2011) conducted a cross-sectional, Internet-based survey of a national survey to determine if parents would prefer cell or email reminders. Results showed that a

Humans build and grow off of each other which is one of the main reasons as to why the species has been able to be so dominant. Children, especially, learn based off of watching not only those around them, but those who are successful around them. This concept is explored in Preschool children favor copying a successful individual over an unsuccessful group by Matti Wilks, Emma Collier-Baker and Mark Nielsen. It has been studied multiple times that children will copy the majority over an individual. But, this experiment aimed to test whether or not children would choose to favor the majority over an individual even if the majority failed and the individual succeeded. This experiment is important when looking at the way that children learn and develop. The more that children look and copy the success of others, regardless of if it is a group

Jaylan was in a good mood when the QP met with him for a session.

David is a 5 year old bubba that is attending Kindergarten and loves to learn. He spends most of his time outside socializing with his friends. He and his friends partake in rough play and wrestling. He is okay with repetition and memorization and has his alphabet down while he is subpar at counting. His teacher is pleased with his academics and cognitive development, however she mentioned that he needs to work on sitting still and not being a distraction to those around him by talking excessively. His favorite times during the day revolve around working with his peers at their table and in group projects. During recess, you will rarely see David away from the monkey bars and jungle gym. David loves animals, especially his dog Bingo he spends

On December 22, 2016 at approximately 1707 hrs. I was dispatched to K-96 and Northwest 10 Road reference a male subject that was unconscious in a white Ford F-150 pickup.

The earliest memory I have that I can directly link to the clear segregation of the masculine and the feminine would be my years of forced boy-scout attendance. In the boy-scouts hypermasculine traits were exemplified. Many of the merit badges involved a form of stereotypical masculinity. A few examples I can remember are fishing, wood-working, sports, ext. Although, they were helpful skills learned from being involved, the overall tone and orchestration of the boy-scout program was harmful. I remember being surrounded by boys who would eat you alive if you showed any form of emotion, or would criticize you for not being into sports, ext. It was a hostile environment that engraved stereotypical masculine ideals. These experiences did affect

The first observation I made was how many students were placed in this classroom. I began counting each and every student, thirty-one students in total. I was initially shocked at the large number of students placed in one class. I have been used to working in Special Education classes where the number of students rarely exceeded fourteen. The first thought that popped into my mind was, “How am I going to remember all of their names?” I then noticed all of their photos and names posted to a wall, which would help me put a name to a face. Another thing I noticed about the students was how excited they were to have another observer come into their classroom. In my journal I stated, “The students were very excited and welcoming, they had a previous
