I think each of us as (educators) have our own educational Philosophy on the purpose of education. Some could say it the social adaptation when schools are designed to meet the needs of the community served. Others would say the cognitive process: how to learn-lifelong learners.
In the future as a special education teacher this presentation will provide my own philosophy, share a future practice of strategies that can help me as the special education teacher and to help student/students with a learning disability serving as a Reference Guide.
Although educators often have the IEP’s information it is good practice to have alternate methods as the IEP is meant to address each child’s unique learning issues and include specific educational goals. . In my practice in the future, I will

Using this presentation in my future teaching practice can also become more effective in understanding family/families concerns and will help not to make the assumption that they are not all the same, but what is best for their child/children. Finally, using this presentation in my future teaching practice can demonstrate effective case management, communication and collaborative practices with parents, professionals, and other stake holders.
1. Explain how the handout will be used to benefit your faculty in the future.
Demonstrate competence in establishing positive learning environments including healthy and safe environments that support appropriate behavior and social interaction. Remember there are learning and educational changes for children as they all don’t fall under the same “Umbrella of a learning capability.”
The handout can be a guide of information for new/tenured teacher to facilitate, write modifications and accommodations in a lesson plan that are reasonable for a
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.
Fuller and Strath (2001) conducted a quantitative research study that examined local populations of early education organizations based on the 1990 household census data to report features of the early childhood workforce nationwide. Multiple economic and regulatory forces shaped the population of early education organizations that operated within states and local communities. The median center-based teacher was 34 years of age, reported having completed some college, and was married. The median family childcare home provider had a high school diploma. Fifteen percent of all preschool teachers in urban areas were African American and 8% were Latina.
1.1. Why should early childhood development teachers not use food in art activities, such as painting and collage? Because children are still in the process of learning to distinguish between food and other objects that are not to be eaten it can result in causing confusion in the young learner so therefore it best not to use food items for eating as art materials. Also art work such as paintings and collages that makes use of food can most definitely not be displayed and kept for long periods of time as it can attract insects and go off or moldy. This could have a negative effect on the child if his art work no longer looks as beautiful as it did when he created it.
My Educational Philosophy of Early Childhood Education Being a pre-service training educator, specific goals and objectives should be set to achieve educator’s own educational philosophy.

One most important tip is for teachers should educate themselves and learn as much as they can about intellectual disabilities. There are some techniques and strategies that teachers can also use to support children educationally. First teachers must recognize that they can make a difference in student’ lives by finding out what their strengths and interests are, focus on them, and create opportunities for success. Teachers must also be concrete as possible by demonstrating what they mean rather than giving directions verbally and tasks that are longer in steps should be broken down into smaller steps and provide assistance when necessary. As it relates to student skills, teachers should teach life skills such as social skills and occupational awareness and exploration by involving students in group or club activities.
Informative Speech Preparation Outline I. INTRODUCTION A. Gain the audience’s attention: Koch states in the article Special Education in 2000 that 1.7 million disabled children were not able to attend public schools until IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, was implemented (Koch, 2000). Transition to Thesis: A high school diploma is necessary in todays life, but many students with special needs are still facing challenges to receive theirs. B. Thesis: The environment where a student is taught has a major impact on their general education, their future educational experiences, and the likelihood of graduating and continuing their education. C. Credibility Statement: After extensive research on special education and background knowledge from a Children with Exceptionalities class, I have gained the knowledge and information to inform you of the impacts of teaching special education inside of the general education classroom.
Furthermore, students will be learning in a classroom that will provide them with differentiated lessons to accommodate those at grade level, below grade level, and the different reading and math RTI tiers where some of the students are categorized to be.
Early Childhood Education: Theoretical Perspectives Abstract Studies confirm that high-quality education early in a child’s life leads to continued success in school, at work, and results in a healthier well-rounded student who is emotionally and socially strong. In most early childhood programs and schools, technology will be part of the learning background of the future. To make sure this new technology is used effectively, we must confirm that teachers are fully trained and supported. In this paper, theoretical perspectives of child development are discussed with the basic elements of learning program.
Weaknesses of this article are that it only focused on a group of educators from the same area and only general educators were interviewed. It would have been nice to have heard the opinions of the special education teachers too. A strength would be the clarity in evidence. The author claims that the teachers aren’t confident in what they know about special education and how to teach those students. Overall, this article gave perspective to the similar problems other countries have like in the United States.
I have learned that being their cheerleader and giving them words of encouragement, are the best ways to keep them going. Thesis: To master the job of a Special Education teacher, it is important to have the right skillset. Preview: Today I will go through different teaching styles, how to best communicate, and the importance of patience as a special education teacher.
Still, special education is one responsibility that we cannot afford to get wrong. Instruction can play a significant part in their prospective outcomes. Therefore we need to develop a well-defined philosophy regarding special education that considers the laws, your beliefs, and feelings related to working with students with exceptionalities. To become a better educator, I have developed my own personal philosophy with those considerations
Being a pre-service training educator, specific goals and objectives should be set to achieve educator’s own educational philosophy. The Educational philosophy is an individual statement of educators’ guiding principles about the education-related issues, which helps to guide when drawing up curricula and structuring classroom discussions for children. Every educator should have their unique set of principles and ideas to affect students’ performance. I strongly believe that early childhood education is to help children to achieve whole person development which including cognitive, physical, mental and social aspects. Children’s programs should be based on children’s needs and interests as they are going to grow, develop and mature in educators’
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.
THE IMPORTANCE OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION IN THE USA 1.Introduction Early childhood is an essential stage of life in terms of a child 's physical, intellectual, emotional and social development. Growth of mental and physical abilities progress at an amazing rate and a very high proportion of learning takes place from birth to age six.

Their roles is to plan, coordinate, schedule, and evaluate curriculum and instructional outcomes within a secure, positive, and enriched inclusive classroom environment. Their main responsibility is to provide instructional schedule and long range plan information. On the other hand, special education teachers have to design their lessons plans to fit each of the individual’s needs. Their main role is to provide instruction and support which facilitate the participation of students with disabilities in special education classrooms, but also in regular education classrooms. Their principal responsibility is to serve as case managers and be responsible for the development, implementation, and evaluation of their students.
