PREPARATION
– This assignment often takes more time to prepare as you will need to think deeply about your response. Allow sufficient time to develop your argument and edit your work.
– Review the information available on the government website https://education.nsw.gov.au/policy-library/policies/pd-2005-0243 in particular, read the Summary of Inclusive Education for students with disability policy that can be found on the website. There will be a link in the Assessment 2 folder.
– Select one of the seven roles and responsibilities to focus on for your position paper.
– Identify which educational setting you will focus on.
– Review the resources in the vUWS Assessment 2 folder.
– Undertake your own research about the current issues, challenges, and possibilities in Australia in relation to the implications for inclusive education in this role/responsibility. Investigate examples of best practices.

– Write a statement, that reflects your position on the selected role/responsibility, and then justify your position by elaborating on the key issues, referencing the literature to support your argument. Write two recommendations that align with your position statement and justification.

– Check that your position, justification, and recommendations align. Is the argument logical, credible, and based on evidence?

– When undertaking your research ensure your references are current (the majority should be less than 5 years old), mostly Australian; relevant to your (early childhood, primary or secondary) context; and peer-reviewed literature and not websites. It is wise to reference your text.

– Remember this is not an opinion piece, it is a formal position paper responding to policy, which will be read by the relevant Departmental officers, and consequently it should have a succinct and formal tone.

A good starting point is to reflect on some of these questions as you explore the complexities of your response:
– How does the role/responsibility influence the implementation of inclusive education?
– Why should we care about the role/responsibility?
– How realistic are the roles and responsibilities, do they go far enough, or do they go too far?
– What are some of the underlying issues and barriers to achieving this role/responsibility?
– How likely is it that the achievement of the role/responsibility will influence the way children/students with disabilities and their families experience inclusive education?
– How do the issues or barriers influence the achievement of the role/responsibility?
– What does the research say might ameliorate these barriers? What can we learn from international practices?
– What other measures and mechanisms will promote the inclusion of children/students with disability in education and learning?

Discipline Case Study Flowchart

IDEA includes very specific guidelines regarding the discipline of students with disabilities in public school settings. Special education teachers must be knowledgeable of, and adhere to, these guidelines when dealing with any discipline issues regarding students who receive special education services. It is important that the student’s disability be taken into consideration when making discipline decisions.

Review the case scenario below to inform the assignment that follows.

Carrie is a 15-year-old student with a language impairment. In particular, she struggles with understanding expressive language (i.e., sharing thoughts, ideas, and feelings completely). Recently, Carrie and the bus driver exchanged words about Carrie’s seat on the bus. Carrie proceeded to call the bus driver several inappropriate names. Prior to this incident, Carrie had not exhibited any of these behaviors in her classroom or in any other school environment, and she had not received any disciplinary action in the school year.

Following the incident, Carrie’s parents received a letter from the principal stating that Carrie would be suspended for 11 school days, has been expelled from riding the school bus for the remainder of the semester, and that, for the remainder of the year, special transportation would be provided to Carrie at the end of the 11-day suspension.

Carrie’s parents have requested that Carrie’s IEP team gather in order to complete a functional behavioral assessment, develop a behavioral intervention plan, and conduct a manifestation determination review. Further, they object to Carrie having special transportation. Carrie’s IEP indicates that she is to ride the “general education” bus.

Part 1: Flowchart

Create a flowchart that clearly depicts the two possible discipline paths following a manifestation determination identify that the misconduct was:

The result of Carrie’s disability
Not the result of Carrie’s disability
In addition, discuss how to proceed given the current details of Carrie’s behavior. What next steps need to be addressed, if any, in regards to her behavior and the parent’s requests for an assessment and transportation ?

Part 2: Analysis

Include a 250-500 word analysis regarding any legal issues raised by the principal’s decision to change in Carrie’s transportation. Reference relevant statutes, regulations, and case decisions as appropriate .

Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly resources.

State whether you agree or disagree with the decision made and justify your position citing current education policy and research to analyze specifics from the case.

Aligning Standards and Learning Objectives

 Part 1: Lesson Plan Analysis

The academic standard is Grade 3-level proficiency across various topics and skills, as set out by the local school district’s curriculum. The targeted students will be expected to display a strong command of fundamentals such as language, mathematics, science and social studies.

The learning objective for the lesson plan is for students to put their knowledge and understanding of multiplication into practical use by utilizing tables, diagrams and other visual aids. They must also be able to explain the maths involved in their work and demonstrate mastery of basic multiplication.

Yes, the standard and objectives are aligned. The Grade 3 proficiency stated in the academic standard is in line with the expectations outlined in the learning objective, which requires students to demonstrate mastery of basic multiplication. This is a clear indication that the standard and objectives are aligned.

This lesson is about multiplication and its application in real-world situations. It covers the fundamentals of multiplication and its importance in everyday life, using visual aids such as tables and diagrams to illustrate the maths involved (Wijngaards-de Meij & Merx, 2018). It also covers example problems and their solutions, as well as how to use multiplication in practical scenarios.

Yes, the assessments effectively measure the academic standard and learning objective. The assessment measures the student’s mastery of multiplication, which aligns with the learning objective. Additionally, the assessment questions use visual aids to ensure students understand how to apply multiplication in practical scenarios, which aligns with the academic standard of Grade 3 proficiency (Care, Kim, Vista, & Anderson, 2018). This indicates that the assessments effectively measure the academic standard and learning objective.
