The discussion represents your mastery of the Course Learning Outcomes 1 & 2 and MAED Program Learning Outcome 8 and reinforces your competency with the MAED Program Learning Outcome 7. Before the reauthorization of IDEA in 2004, schools were implementing inclusion, but it was not necessarily the ‘norm’; instead, children with a disability were educated in a self-contained classroom within the general school population. Included with the most updated changes was a closer alignment with NCLB (No Child Left Behind) requirement for data-based decisions, more rigorous standards and highly qualified teachers (No Child Left Behind, 2013). Teachers new to the field of education are being taught during their coursework how to implement inclusive, co-teaching practices and are therefore unfamiliar with past teaching practices. On the other hand, teachers who have been practicing for more than 10 years have experiences in both education environments. While it is clear that co-teaching is not the most popular...

...Framework of Collaborative Teaching Consist ofa team of individuals who work together to achieve a common goal. Usually, a team includes a general education teacher and a special education teacher, and perhaps other related professionals. Dependingon a child IEPin the general curriculumand how often the student with special needs participates For effective collaboration to take place,high levels of trust, cooperation, and mutual respect must be present in a shared decision making process (GCU Lecture, 2013; Gargiulo, 2012) Framework of Co-Teaching Requires "collaborative effort of two equally-licensed professionals” generally a special education teacher and regular education teacher The team teaches in the general education setting, Teaching the general education curriculum. Together teachers instruct, plan, assess, and manage behaviors within the classroom for all students, yet the general education teacher is responsible for content and the special education teacher is responsible for instructional strategies. Co-teachers should have effective communication skills, trust, elasticity, and shared planning. (GCU Lecture, 2013; Webster, 2011) Collaborative Teaching Methods The Five Step Process when working with special needs students: 1. Team reviews the standards that the curriculum requires. 2. They then discuss the specific needs and possiblemodifications for the student with special needs, and set goals or targets for that student. 3. The team...

...Co-Teaching Rhona W. Williams Grand Canyon University: SPED 527 3/29/11 Abstract There are six models of co-teaching that are prevalent in today’s academic culture. These models include: One Teaching, One Observing, Station Teaching, Parallel Teaching, Alternative Teaching, Teaming, and One Teaching, One Assisting. Each model is a collaborative effort achieved by regular and special education teachers, who bring their own unique strengths and teaching styles to the classroom setting. Of particular interest is the model referred to as Station Teaching. An examination of Station Teaching will reveal several strengths of the model as well as some distinct possibilities for problems. Suggestions for how Station Teaching could be effective across the curriculum will also be discussed. Station Teaching In chapter five another facet of collaboration discussed was the implementation of teaching strategies known as co-teaching models or approaches. According to Friend (2008, chap.5,pg. 113) the primary aim of co-teaching is to provide an approach for meeting the educational needs of students identified with learning disabilities, as well as other diverse learners in the educational setting. Highlighted in this chapter are the six models of co-teaching. While they are not mutually exclusive they appear to be some of the most effective models thru which collaboration and collegial support is achieved. The models include: One...

...000 students, 30,982,000 or 40.58% are of an ethnically diverse background and 5% of school age children have a disability (U.S. Census Bureau, 2008). These changing legal requirements and student demographics in United States educational systems combine pointing to the need for increased collaborative planning and teaching among school personnel attempting to comply with these legal mandates to serve all students fairly and equitably in general education classrooms. Co-teaching is an approach that helps educators meet both IDEIA and NCLB mandates, and is defined as “two or more people sharing responsibility for teaching some or all of the students assigned to a classroom” (Villa, Thousand, & Nevin, 2008, p. 5). In schools within the United States, co-teaching often involves general education and special education teachers working together in one classroom and used as a supplementary aid and service that can be brought to general education to serve the needs of students with (and without) disabilities through IDEIA. Co-teaching requires a re-conceptualization and revision for traditional teacher preparation. Recent studies show the benefits of co-teaching arrangements for students, teachers, and school organizations...

Additionally, the discussion represents your mastery of the Course Learning Outcomes 1, 2, 3 and the MAED Program Learning Outcome 8. In previous weeks, you learned about the value of co-teaching including the benefit to the all the students in the classroom. However, many special educators feel that they are not a content-area expert, that they are seen as a “helper teacher”, or there is not enough planning time to properly define roles and responsibilities (Co-Teaching, 2013). Some may simply default to the classroom teacher because they do not yet have tenure, are unsure of how to approach the topic, or are simply uncomfortable with conflict and want to avoid it. To develop a successful co-teaching environment, the National Education Association (NEA) lists six steps to facilitate the collaboration between the special and general education teachers: establishing rapport, blend teaching styles...

...Learning Style and Teaching Style Studies on Co-operative Learning Studies on Co-operative Learning and Mathematics Conclusion CHAPTER III REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE Review of related literature plays a significant role in any type of research work. It allows the researcher to acquaint oneself with current knowledge in the field in which the research is being done. The availability and utilisation of adequate sources or related information enables the investigator to complete the research fruitfully and thus make unique contribution in the field of education with special focus on the method of instruction, learner variables, etc. For many years, educators and researchers have debated on the different variables which influenced student achievement. Decades of research in education suggest that students utilise individual learning styles (Felder, 1996). Instruction should therefore be multifaceted to accommodate the variety of learning styles. The literature in support of this assertion is vast and includes textbooks, learning style inventories and resources for classroom implementation (Dunn & Dunn, 1993). Though research in education and applied psychology has produced a number of insights into how students think and learn, the resulting impact on actual classroom instruction is uneven and unpredictable. Therefore, an attempt has been made here to review the literature and studies related to the topic “Effectiveness of Co-operative 54 ...

...Chapter 2 Review of Related Literature This chapter is divided into four parts: (1) Co-curricular Activities, (2) Time Management, (3) Academic Performance, (4) Tourism Education. Part One, Co-curricular Activities, presents the definition, role of co-curricular activity in student, scope of co-curricular activity in school, its importance and benefits. Part Two, Time Management, discusses how to manage your time wisely, its effect in academic performance and co-curricular activities, why time management is important, and its benefits. Part Three, Academic Performance, provides meaning or definition, importance of academic performance, positive factors affecting academic performance, and the factors resulting to academic performance failure. Part Four, Tourism Education gives the definition of tourism education, its importance, information about tourism education. Co-curricular Activities According to Mc Kown (1952) these activities are as old as education itself. They wereknown as used in different forms under different educational settings.The history reveals that the term was called Extra-curricular Activities before four-five decades. It includedathletics, music, oratorical competitions, clubs for students, debating, dramatics, honour awards, special day celebrations etc. These activities were organized mostly by the students themselves. “Co curricular activities were mainly organized after school hours and so were the extra curricular but they are not an integral part...

...of Single Sex Education ‘The ancient Greek philosopher, Plato, said that Co-education creates a feeling of comradeship. He advocated teaching of both the male and female sexes in the same institution without showing any discrimination in imparting education.’ (1) This statement appears in many of the independent co educational school websites. Having an ancient Greek philosopher’s authority behind your school has to be a good marketing ploy for prospective parents. However, schools neglect to add that Plato then went on to say that while women and girls should follow the same curriculum as men, he advised that this should happen separately from the boys and men. (2) This essay will present evidence in support of single sex education based on academic achievement, learning styles, gender equality, cultural preference and promotion of self esteem and show how it is unlikely to damage later relationships between the opposite sexes. Which is best? Co-education or single sex education? Because so many factors influence the outcome of these options: teaching quality, parental input, socio-economic to name a few, argument rages around the findings of many of the studies to resolve the issue. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania studied a policy in Seoul, South Korea started in 1974, whereby children are compulsorily randomly assigned places at either a single sex school or a co- educational school. The policy was to prevent clustering of children at specific...

...relationship of research and statistics to work; and interest in research and statistics. Pre- and post-survey and achievement data has to be gathered, as well as demographic data. In the quest to improve post-secondary learning environments, team teaching as an androgogical tool has enjoyed sporadic attention, both historically and institution-ally. Instructors and students who have participated in collaboratively taught classes enthusiastically outline its benefits as compared to solo-taught courses. Some recommend team teaching as a fairly low-cost, yet innovative, method of enhancing instruction. “Team teaching most often refers to two or more faculty members who jointly produce a course (Davis,1995). The arrangements vary considerably among teams, and there seems to be little agreement on what constitutes the team part of team teaching or even what to call the arrangement—team teaching, co-teaching, co-enrollment, collaborative teaching, or cooperative teaching. However, empirical analysis of this practice remains scant, particularly over the last two decades. Thus, this study seeks to contribute to a fuller understanding of the efficacy of team teaching as a tool for the improvement of teaching and learning. In so doing, it asks and answers: Is there a statistically significant difference in student comfort with course material, the relationship of course material to work and interest in course material, as well as in academic performance...

...Dr. Radwan Cost 1610 Thought Paper #2 “Teaching and learning are inseparable parts of a single continuum of reciprocal giving and receiving.”(Christensen Pg. 621) In this quote Christensen describes the reciprocal nature of the relationship between a teacher and a student. In his essay, he describes his theories of teaching as a successful college professor at the prestigious Harvard Business School. It is important to listen to and hear his message on teaching because we all experience at least the student end of the spectrum at some point in our life. It is important to know not only what is going on in the mind of the students as a teacher, but also what is going through the mind of your teacher every day in class. After reading his essay, discussing it, and experiencing 15 years of school I can honestly say this topic is important to understand and consider from both sides of the relationship. First, I will begin by laying out the role of the teacher in Christensen’s view. Then I will go over the students’ role Christensen’s view. Finally I will wrap up with an example to illustrating the key points of the essay and conclude with a summary of my points. “No matter how factually accurate and time-tested our data, how clear cut and disciplined our analytical methods, or how practiced and skillful our pedagogical techniques, true learning emerges only when we honor the human factor.”(Christensen Pg. 631) Christensen’s first idea about the role of the teacher...

A male only school has a Homosexuality rate of 63% more than a public school open to all genders with a 14% rating. The Benefits of Mixed Schools Some evidence has suggested that boys in mixed schools performed better academically, as they are encouraged not to 'mess around' by their more responsible female classmates - but obviously this is a generalisation and might prove different in specific schools and even in particular classrooms. Some proponents of mixed schools claim these schools have a better atmosphere, since they are neither too 'bitchy', as can occur when a group of girls are working and studying together, not too aggressive, which can occur when boys are exclusively working and studying together. 1 There are less ‘sink’ groups in schools. 2 Different teaching styles are opened up, moving away from didactic methods. 3 There is potentially less negative labelling of students. 4 Teachers have contact with a wide range of students. 5 This form of teaching makes for diagnostic teaching. 6 Troublesome students are ‘diluted’ through the school. 7 A sense of community can be developed in the school (though, it must be said, this is under threat as schools have an open-access policy, moving them away from being neighbourhood and community schools). 8 There is a wide social...

...Co-ed schools are likely to offer you more when it comes to teaching you about student diversity and how to cooperate with the opposite gender. Having females and males both in the same classes allows students to learn how to interact with a wider range of people and learn how to talk and work with the opposite sex. Parents are deciding to put their children in a single-sex schools at such a young age and making assumptions that this type of education will benefit them. What they aren’t realizing is that it’s not preparing them for a diverse society and as a result, setting them up for failure. Children need to be learning how to act around both sexs. The real world is dealing with both sexes and single-sex schools aren’t preparing children...
