The purpose of this literature review is to analyze the pros and cons of the Educative Teacher Performance Assessment (edTPA) and California Teaching Performance Assessment (CalTPA) teacher assessments. In addition, this literature review will review and analyze the Senate Bill (SB) 1263, which initially aimed to completely eliminate the above-mentioned teacher* assessments, but instead, it has been revised to an extent that it no longer does this. Research articles look at the outcomes and the challenges of implementing the edTPA and the CalTPA with teacher candidates, both for general education teacher candidates and special education teacher candidates.  Additional research goes into depth about the pros and cons of teacher candidates preparing to complete these assessments, and the possible biases that have been observed by teachers in general, but specifically on behalf of teachers of color. 
*Please note that for the purposes of this literature review, the authors use teachers and educators as interchangeable terms.

Behavior Intervention In Special Education

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3hqosJLk
This literature review explores the landscape of behavioral interventions in special education by addressing criticisms, limitations, and their broader implications. While critiques of behavioral interventions like Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) have become more prominent in recent years, the review highlights a noticeable gap in peer-reviewed evidence concluding that ABA is inherently "bad,". To address these criticisms, a review of the literature underscores the critical role of teacher training in the success of behavioral interventions, the effectiveness of these training programs, and external factors such as teacher burnout are identified as significant barriers to effective implementation of behavior intervention in special education. Future research should be done on the limitations of behavior interventions like ABA.

The purpose of this literature review is to examine the current status of full inclusion, its impact on students, barriers to inclusion, and the best practices for collaboration between general and special education teachers in inclusive settings. According to federal mandates, students with disabilities must be educated alongside their nondisabled peers in the general education setting to the maximum extent appropriate. Supreme Court rulings have established standards for special education. Research articles look at how inclusive education is implemented, how it affects student outcomes, barriers to inclusion, and best practices for educating students with disabilities in general education classrooms.

Hoping to see the thoughts for those who are involved firsthand and how they are or are not educated for this change. Some of the methods that were used in the research studies were qualitative research through interviews and surveys, search strategies, and observations through different studies. Overall, research amongst young adult transitional programs are aiming that adult transitional programs are effective towards students especially when focusing on employment outcomes and being able to live a more effective and productive lifestyle. To be able to live such a lifestyle the students need to be able to be introduced to such experiences through progressive programs that can support those successful outcomes.

The Role of Financial Literacy Education in the Development of Special Education Students

# data[].attributes.custom_properties.3hqosJLk
This literature review examines the role of financial literacy education for special education students transitioning from high school to adulthood. This review highlights the importance of financial education in promoting independence improving one’s ability to make financial decisions effectively. It underscores the need for financial education to accommodate the diverse challenges faced by special education students, emphasizing key aspects of an effective curriculum including relatable real-life scenarios, scaffolded instruction, and the integration of self-determination and decision making skills.
	This review also investigates current approaches to financial literacy education in special education, highlighting a range of instructional methods catering to the level of support needs of the students. While many programs demonstrate positive outcomes, they also encounter challenges such as limited resources, lack of standardized curricula, and differing levels of student ability.
	Despite the solid body of existing research, significant gaps in the literature remain. These include longer term research on the outcomes of financial literacy education for students with disabilities, methods of evaluating students to differentiate lessons, and guidance for families and support providers with regards to effectively balancing support and fostering independence in managing the finances of their students.
	In response to these gaps and challenges, this literature review aims to inform a proposed project of interest to develop a series of financial literacy lessons and activities, along with an assessment that measures students’ preexisting financial literacy as well as their basic math skills to aid in differentiating instruction. This project aims to support the development of financial literacy in special education students by providing a specific resource tailored to their unique needs that will empower them to achieve financial independence as they transition to adulthood.
