Conflict Resolution Action Plan

Introduction Problem solving and conflict resolution go hand and hand with each other. A person needs problem solving skills in order to be able to have meaningful conflict resolution. According to research the definition of problem solving is “the process of working through details of a problem to reach a solution” (What is problem solving? definition and meaning). This paper will cover one problem solving model that can help in creating an action plan for conflict resolution. This paper will also address how the problem solving model and action plan will be put into place to resolve the conflict between the …show more content…

The general education teacher does not feel that the accommodations are needed in her classroom or that they are showing to be effective. Since the student does have an IEP the goals and accommodations are something that should be used every day. If the general education teacher feels that the accommodations are not effective why has the teacher not suggested that the accommodations be changed to be more effective in her classroom. In research it is found that the IEP is:
A statement of a child’s present level of performance, the child’s annual educational goals, includes the special education support and services that the school will provide, the modifications and accommodations the school will provide. (Understanding Individualized Education Programs, 2014)
If the IEP is not being followed that can be a big conflict not just between the teachers but also for the student.

Action Plan Model The action plan problem solving model that has been chosen to help resolve the conflict is a seven step model. The seven steps in the model …show more content…

For this we see that the potential cause of the problem could be some miscommunication between the general education teacher and the special education teacher. We need to ask the question of did the general education teacher attend the students IEP meeting where she would have had the opportunity to speak of different accommodations that might be better suited for her classroom. In finding a different approach for the problem we need to consider the general education teachers side of the story that she feels that the accommodations are not really helping the student in her classroom. In order to solve the problem a meeting should be held monthly between the general education teacher and the special education teacher to talk over the progress of the student and to bring up any concerns that either teacher might be having. The two teachers should talk about other accommodations that could be made that might be more helpful to the student. To verify if the problem has been fixed this can be done through the monthly meetings between the two teachers and looking over the students school

The following is a two-part project designed to help me understand the IEP Goal development process. It includes an interview with a current special education teacher and her role in the IEP goal development process. The second part is an analysis of case study. It requires writing IEP goals for it using the Common Core Standards, developing an PBS for the student and creating an accommodation analysis based on the students needs in the case study. When completed, I should have a better feel for the IEP process for students physical disabilities and health

Perseverance helps push a person past their limits to reach their goal. Throughout the book, Odysseus faces many problems he must solve in order to return home to Ithaca. He must escape the Cyclops’s cave, figure out a way to get past the sirens, and dodge the dangerous sea monsters. His determination will help him get back home to see his wife Penelope and return to rule Ithaca. In The Odyssey, Homer presents the idea that perseverance can make a person stronger when they overcome many obstacles and have a goal to work towards.

(Phyllene W. v. Huntsville Board of Education, 2015, p. 6-7) In the second grade, M.W. was assessed for special education services. Her vision and hearing fell within the normal range, but she qualified for services for learning disabilities. Over the next few years, services were adjusted in the IEP to meet the needs of M.W. For example, dyslexia was

No matter how severe a disability, the state is required to offer special education services to all children between the ages of six and seventeen. The state is also required to offer special education services to children between the ages of 3-5 and 18-21, if education services are offered to students without disabilities (Heward, Bacon, 2013, p.1). When students are found to have a disability, schools must create an Individualized Education Program (IEP). This plan brings the parents, teachers, different specialists, and sometimes the student together to identify the students present academic level and set goals for the year and identify any support that may be needed to help the student reach those goals (Long-Crowell, n.d.,

IDEA regulations encourage positive behavioral intervention and support for students with disabilities. In 1997, amendments were made to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act to ensure that students with disabilities had IEP’s that addressed behavioral issues which prevented them from reaping the benefit of learning opportunities, and to also ensure that they were treated fairly for behavioral issues. The changes included considerations of safety issues when a student poses a threat to him or herself and/or others. The changes allow for a range of actions from alternative placement and IEP modifications, to removal by hearing.

According to her IEP team, Stacy should remain in the least restrictive environment, or the general education classroom, while working towards her goals. Later on in the document it states that Stacy should be in a special education class sometimes, but for most of her learning she should remain in the general education classroom, which is again important because of reasons I stated in my previous example. The term LRE is very necessary to be mentioned in an IEP because it indicates how much time a student will spend in the general education classroom, and how much time they will spend in another class, like a special education class. Being in these different types of classrooms can show how severe a students disability is, or what kind of disability they have, and can affect the kind of help they receive and how well they might transition into living an independent life upon graduation. For most students, it is best to have them remain in the general education classroom to maintain being social with their peers, but sadly some students don’t have this option and have to be in another type of class to benefit them the

It is important for all parties to keep the best interest of the child in mind. I agree that we need to change the current believes about special education. A special education teacher can work with any students who is struggling not just a student with an IEP. Of course, children with IEPs must come first because that is what the teacher is hired for. I agree that FAPE is very hard to define for most parties involved with writing the IEP.

This is the overall process of establishing the services. School districts are required to abide by the established procedures to identify and evaluate students who are showing signs of having a disability. The individual educational plan (IEP) documents the services required to meet the needs of the student. Both laws (ESEA and IDEA) require students with disabilities to participate in statewide assessments with accommodations, where necessary. Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 is a federal law that protects the rights of students with disabilities enrolled in public schools receiving federal funds.

It becomes the blueprint for the student’s education for the current school year.” I think looking at the IEP in this light is so incredibly important. If teachers and parents understand that it is both the “blueprint” and an accountability tool, the IEP will be more effective and meaningful. Every student deserves to have the best possible education, and the IEP helps to ensure that this happens among students with disabilities.

The IEP form that I examined is not the same student I worked with during my lesson. The IEP that I observed was for Student I. Student I has difficulties with writing the correct letter formations and with line placement. He also has a speech impediment when it comes to pronouncing certain words. While examining the student’s form I found that the student receives help for his speech impediment from a speech therapist at the school and he also receives help from an occupational therapist for his line formation and placement. Student I is in a regular classroom and routinely gets help from his therapists and from the ESE teacher.

The role of the special educator in the 1990s was as the collaborator. Due to some general educator’s inability to accurately differentiate and accommodate students with disabilities, general education teachers in the 1990s collaborated with special education teachers allowed for students to remain in the general education classroom, while receiving special education services. “collaborative arrangements may be selected and adapted to complement the instructional requirements of specific students, teachers, course contents, or classrooms. These collaborative arrangements can be orchestrated to benefit individuals, small groups, or the entire class.” (Arllen & Gable, 1996)

These conflicts can be won by any way seen fit i.e. argument of ideas, pulling rank, or using leverage you may have.

Accommodations and modifications make our work easier. The ASD students are very special students so they will need many accommodations and modifications to help them. The teacher can choose accom-modations and modifications which will be suitable for each student and write them in her IEP. Accommodations Modifications Extend the time to take a test. Because the ASD students need more time than other students and if the time is very short they will feel not comfortable.

His expression of surprise and anger when he realized how long this issue had been discussed in the background without his knowledge, or even a hint of a problem, suggests he felt the procedures followed to address the issue should have been different. A conflict can be composed of all or some of the four types: Goal, Cognitive, Affective and Procedural. Managing multiple types of conflict is sufficiently difficult but there is added complexity due to the need to assess the level of conflict. Dedicated attention to the complexity of conflict is necessary not only to avoid a dysfunctional dynamic but to also facilitate positive operational outcomes (Wombacher and Felfe,

In regular education classrooms the majority of the time students receive whole-group instructions. Their methods of instructions consist in lectures, discussions, case studies, writing, group projects, public reviews, and independent student projects. In contrast, different instructional techniques are used for some students with special educational needs. Instructional strategies are classified as being either accommodations or modifications. An accommodation is a reasonable adjustment to teaching practices so that the student learns the same material, but in a format that is more accessible to the student.
