...Significant Connections for Families of an ID Child Alfreda Green Grand Canyon University: SPE 351 June 30, 2013 Significant Connections for Families of an ID Child Children born with disabilities have to face challenges every day, some more than others depending upon their disability. There are four types of intellectual disabilities, mild, moderate, severe, and profound. To determine if a child is intellectual disabled, his or her IQ would have to be tested and an adaptive behavior is reviewed (NICHCY, 2013). Having a good support system is the key for parents when having a child with intellectual disabilities. I had the opportunity to discuss this with a teacher, Mrs. Karen Derrick, who teaches Special Education. She has worked with different types of ID children throughout her career. According to Mrs. Derrick, the impact an individual with an intellectual disability has on the family structure varies from family to family and disability to disability. Rest assured it will have some impact. These can range from something as minor as having to wear ear protection at a fireworks presentation to having to learn sign language or even other alternate forms of communication such as eye gazing. All of these will impact the family. For example, there are some people that have an intellectual disability that may never potty train, therefore requiring diapering, possibly for their entire life. This means they have to have round the clock care, not to mention the added...

...Summer is finally here, and as soon as you dip your toes in the water, it’s already over. The 8 hours of Netflix you watched replaced all of you knowledge from last year.. When you finally get to school, your grade starts off with a 70% in your ELAR test. This is what we call ‘Summer Brain drain’ and there’s now a way to prevent it. Year round school makes sure we have breaks that are more spread out, therefore not forgetting any information. With year round school, in between breaks we could get more sleep, bump your grades by getting more time to study, and stopping brain drain. On average, teenagers get 7- 7 ¼ hours of sleep, and with homework, sports, and social media, sleep can be lower than that. We need exactly 9 ¼ hours of sleep a...

...Improving Summer School for At-Risk Students to Improve MAP Achievement H Abstract “Race to the Top” have left public education systems searching for ways to make sure students are reaching their highest potential. Because of the importance of accountability issues to school systems, it is important to examine ways to help students reach their potential. One tool school districts use to aid in improving student achievement is summer school. This qualitative study provides an overview of the history of summer school. Additionally, it offers a synopsis of various types of summer programs and at-risk student populations often targeted by summer school. The researcher also offers a review of literature on student learning loss over the summer months. Summer learning programs have the potential to help children and youth improve their academic and other outcomes. This is especially true for children from low-income families who might not have access to educational resources throughout the summer months and for low-achieving students who need additional time to master academic content. Because many students loose learning over the summer and some students need more time on task to master content, participation in summer learning programs should mitigate learning loss and could even produce achievement gains on standardized test such as MAP. Overview One hundred and fifty Title I-eligible students from Chandler Creek Elementary school will enroll each...

...Abstract School age children should be required to attend year-round school because its benefits go far greater than just the student does. A year round education will help students retain the information learned; it can assist teachers in time saving curriculum work after the school day; which will help improve the students test scores. This program can keep students occupied more because of the less extended break can prevent them from getting in trouble. This program could reduce the financial drain parents might be feeling as the nation is dealing with its hard times. Students attending year round schooling are likely to perform as well or even better than their peers enrolled in the tradition 9-month programs. Year-Round Education Introduction An education is the key component of society today. In the past, an individual could have little or no education and still succeed in the world. However, things have changed and in the world of added technology, limited jobs in the workforce and or a lower job security because of the finical hardship having and education is a plus. To ensure we stay on this path its starts with the youths of today and my belief is the need for year round education. I will look take a look at some of the policies in place, describe some of the various models of year round education, some advantages and disadvantages of the school calendar, effects on student achievement and family effects of the plan. With all this explained and said...

...A lot of schools today follow the same yearly calendar but there is another system of education some schools have chosen to participate in. School should be in session year-round because it will be beneficial to students. There is a contrast in views when it comes down to year-round schools, but the argumentation for them to be more commonly used is because they increase academic learning, keep children productive, and keep students and teachers focused. In contempt of what others think, academic learning will greatly increase. Year-round school will help students become scholarly and intellectual but the opposition begs to disagree. The opposition has provided in Kimberly Demucha Kalil’s article, “The Pros and Cons of Year-Round School” she...

...peer collaborator at Coffman High School, and volunteering at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital had significant impacts on me. In the last two summers, I spent most of summer vacation volunteering at the Nationwide Children’s Hospital in Columbus Ohio. I worked both at the children’s clubhouse and the gift shop. I decided to come volunteer at the hospital to learn skills and to experience a medical environment. In the children’s clubhouse, I play around with toddlers and kids as their parents are away. We usually play card and board games such as Uno, Battleship, Connect 4, and more. Whenever kids aren’t present, I usually talk with other volunteers. After my shift sends, I clean the tables, chairs, toys, shelves, and games before leaving. During my time at the clubhouse, I learned how to be patient and how to keep my composure. During my first day, I felt frustrated and embarrassed as the children were noisy and ignored me. I didn’t really know how to converse with children back then. After some time I learned to be more gentle to the children and instead of being...
