366 Words2 Pages
Quote of Interest: "First, each person is unique. In defining goals, it is crucial for educators to affirm the special characteristics of each student." (Boyer, 1995, p. 1) Reaction: I chose this quote because I plan on being a special education teacher and I have strong feelings about making sure everyone is fair to everyone. We are all different and everyone should get their own accomidations depending on whether they need help or not. Connection: I also chose from the book Flip Your Classroom (2012), because Sams and Bergmann explain more about different testing ideas for students that need extra time, read outloud, etc. They believe that everyone should be able to earn the same grade points, all students in classes do the same amount

In the short story “I Just Wanna Be Average”, Mike Rose talks about the boundaries between the “average” and special education students. He first talks about how the teachers don’t strive to push their students to engage in education. He describes one teacher saying, “He had little training in English, so his lesson plan of the day work had us reading the district’s required text, Julius Caesar, aloud for the semester.” (315) Another great example where he saw the dissimilarity between classes is when he was put at a regular classroom. Rose was struggling to keep up with everyone because he got used to the leniency before.

As I traveled through each grade of the Croton-Harmon High School, my personal and academic goals helped to me to really flourish. These goals may have varied from year to year because a freshman is a little different from a senior, but they basically had all the same concept: I wanted to strive in school to be the best all-around student I could be, constantly stay focused and immerse myself in the Croton community. By setting my expectations and goals very high, I could flourish academically and really work to my full potential. By following these goals in school I pushed myself very hard and tried to take classes that would challenge me as well as help me to flourish as a student.

Special education is a discipline marked by a lot of controversy and which elicits a heated debate among education administrators, parents, and teachers. Full inclusion, which is the belief that disabled students should be incorporated into regular classrooms, regardless of whether they meet conventional curricular standards or not, is the major point of controversy. Full inclusion embraces the idea that disabled students should undertake regular education and only be excluded in a class when important services cannot be offered to them (Nelson, Palonsky, & McCarthy, 2010). This paper seeks to delve into the arguments surrounding full inclusion and establish their validity. It will achieve this by highlighting the arguments for and against

Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.

Having you ever had to take a class in high school but never really learned anything from it? Most students have been introduced to this problem, but the few who have not been in this situation due to the difference in their schooling system. In my opinion, I think that the alternative grading system where testing is not the center of attention is much more effective. On the other hand, many people may argue that the traditional system that focuses on test, homework and quizzes is more beneficial, rather than a long term assignment. But, my reasoning states otherwise.

Now, I realize that a student needing special education does not automatically mean that they will need help with everything and have an extremely difficult time learning. Most of the students I observed did not seem any different than the students not in special education. They just needed extra help in certain subjects. They picked up on the material much more quickly than I had thought they would and were able to do more on their own than I had originally thought. Before this class and project, I also did not think about the fact that students with special needs often stay in the general education classroom as well as working in the special education
