  • Inclusive Education and Critical Pedagogy at the Intersections of Disability, Race, Gender and Class
    Inclusive education and critical pedagogy at the intersections of disability, race, gender and class Anastasia Liasidou European University, Cyprus Abstract The paper aims to use insights from critical pedagogy to forge and exemplify links with the movement of educational inclusion. The struggles for change, theorised in terms of the emancipatory and liberating potential of schooling, set out the conceptual and analytical backdrop against which issues of exclusion and marginalisation are discussed and reflected upon. The emancipatory and transformative roles of schools, as sites of power interplays at the interstices of disability, race, socioeconomic background and gender, are placed at the core of the analytical framework, with a view to highlighting the contextual and political ways against which notions of “need” and “disadvantage” are constructed, reified and perpetuated in dominant conceptualisations of schooling and pedagogy. It is suggested that the emancipatory potential of schooling entails transcending traditional constructions and arbitrations of the “ideal student”, embodied in Western-centric and neoliberal constructions of pedagogical discourse. The notion of intersectionality, as perceived and exemplified in relation to insights from critical pedagogy and critical disability studies, is presented as an emancipatory theoretical and analytical tool in interrogating and deconstructing educational discourses of individual and social pathology that evoke and legitimize the constitution of the “non-ideal student” in current schooling. Key words: Inclusion, Critical Pedagogy, disability, justice, equality, power. Introduction Currently, educational inclusion constitutes an international policy imperative that promotes the rights of disabled children to be educated alongside their peers in mainstream classrooms (Armstrong and Barton 2007;Kenworthy and Whittaker 2000; Rioux 2002).

  • Inclusive Vision Versus Special Education Reality
    education sciences Article Inclusive Vision Versus Special Education Reality James M. Kauffman 1,* and Garry Hornby 2,* 1 Department of Special Education, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA 22904, USA 2 Institute of Education, University of Plymouth, Drake Circus, Plymouth PL4 8AA, UK * Correspondence: [email protected] (J.M.K.); [email protected] (G.H.) Received: 14 August 2020; Accepted: 17 September 2020; Published: 22 September 2020 Abstract: The reasons are examined for the disparity between the inclusive vision espoused by Article 24 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and the reality of the limited extent of inclusion in education systems worldwide. First, the leadership of key senior academics in the field of special education is considered to have been misguided in promoting a vision of full inclusion despite the lack of research evidence for the benefits of inclusive education over traditional special education provision. Second, attitudes toward and the treatment of people with disabilities have a long and complex history, and in this, many proponents of inclusion have been critical of 20th century special education. In particular, they claim that the sorting, labelling and categorizing required by special education have negative implications. Third, educators have been encouraged to imagine a system of education that is limitless, in the sense that all children with disabilities can be included in general education. This is because it is envisaged that general education classrooms will become so flexible that there will be no limits to the accommodation of students with disabilities, regardless of the nature or severity of their special educational needs.

The paper considers the split between knowledge and pedagogy inherent in some dominant strains of inclusive pedagogy. Drawing on the ‘knowledge turn’ in curriculum studies, we argue that although an analytical distinction between knowledge and pedagogy may be 20 useful, too strong a delineation between the two fails to best serve the needs of children with special needs. Specific implications for teacher education in relation to SEN in England are considered. Keywords: inclusion; special educational needs; pedagogy; inclusive pedagogy 25 Inclusive pedagogy and knowledge: addressing the tension AQ3 ¶ In the modern classroom, children’s needs are diverse, complex and recognised as such; yet, progressive and neo-liberal conceptions of the purpose of activity in the classroom often have an uneasy coexistence both in the structures of the school and in the mind of 30 the teacher. The tension between instrumentalist approaches to the role of the teacher, and alternative, broader conceptualizations of the purposes of education are often most CE: KRK QA: Coll: clearly seen when classrooms contain children perceived as differing from the norm.

  • Pennsylvania Parent Guide to Special Education for School-Age Children
    Pennsylvania Parent Guide to Special Education for School-Age Children INTRODUCTION Parents are very important participants in the special education process. Parents know their child better than anyone else and have valuable information to contribute about the kinds of programs and services that are needed for their child’s success in school. To ensure the rights of children with a disability, additional laws have been enacted. In this guide we use the terms “rules” and “regulations.” This booklet has been written to explain these rules so parents will feel comfortable and can better participate in the educational decision-making process for their child. The chapters that follow address questions that parents may have about special education, relating to their child who is thought to have, or may have, a disability. Chapter One focuses on how a child’s need for special education is determined. In this chapter, the evaluation and decision-making processes are discussed, as well as the members of the team who conduct the tests and make the decisions regarding a child’s eligibility for special education programs and services. Chapter Two explains how a special education program (that is, an Individualized Education Program) is devel- oped and the kinds of information it must include. This chapter describes how appropriate services are deter- mined, as well as the notice that a school district must give to parents summarizing a child’s special education program. Planning for the transition from school to adult living is also discussed. Chapter Three deals with the responsibilities that a school district has to a child who is eligible for special education services and the child’s parents.

    Plan: Elementary Education BSED - Special Education TSAP School: School of Education Description: This degree map is only valid for students transferring to IU Northwest from either Ivy Tech or Vincennes and who have earned an associate’s degree in education from either institution. The undergraduate Teaching All Learners (TAL) program prepares candidates to teach in either Elementary Education or in K-6 Special Education: Mild Interventions. This degree program requires candidates to take seven 3-credit hour courses dedicated to preparation in Special Education. Two additional elementary education courses address CEC and state special education standards in reading/language and technology. Candidates complete two 10-weeks field experiences and an 8-week clinical experience in special education (they do another 8-week clinical experience in Elementary Education). Candidates must pass through Checkpoints at critical decision points and must meet grade, GPA, portfolio, disposition, Praxis, and SPA assessment requirements before moving forward in their program. Candidates in this program are provided opportunities to learn and practice the knowledge, skills, and dispositions needed to become effective special education teachers of students who receive the general curriculum. Since Indiana is a non-categorical state, the license our candidates earn is not tied to a specific disability. Instead, candidates are prepared to work with students with all disabilities as long as they are able to receive the general curriculum. Student's Catalog

  • Preparing Your Child with Disabilities for Kindergarten
    Fact Sheet: Preparing your Child with Disabilities for Kindergarten PREPARING YOUR CHILD WITH DISABILITIES FOR KINDERGARTEN Preparation is important for all children who are going to kindergarten. Preparing for your child with disabilities requires some additional thought and consideration. Preparation begins with the IEP (Individualized Education Program) Many children with disabilities will have received services from the public school system before kindergarten. The public school system may have provided services in a regular early childhood program, special education early childhood program, the child’s home, or in a private setting. If so, your child already has an IEP and has been working on goals to prepare him/her for kindergarten. As your child gets ready to enter kindergarten, you may want to request an IEP meeting to discuss your child’s needs prior to the beginning of the kindergarten school year. Other children with disabilities may not be involved with the public school system until they are ready to enter kindergarten. If this is true of your child with a disability, or you suspect your child will be identified as having a disability when s/he are in kindergarten, you should call your school and request an evaluation for your child. This will help ensure that your child will be able to receive appropriate services when kindergarten begins. How do I know if my child is ready? Children must be five years old on or before September 1 to start kindergarten in Georgia. Many children entering kindergarten are not able to read, write or do math. Kindergarten teachers will tell you that it is more important that children be able to follow directions, share and know how to take turns, pay attention and get along with others.
