You covered a lot of material but it was easy to follow along.

Takeaways:

1. The "Fun Facts" slide was a nice way to wrap up the presentation.
2. I liked the slide about "specialized instruction".  I never looked at special education like that but that makes so much sense.

One wonder:
Regarding your "Overall Outcome" slide, you asked about creating a program to assist with different student's behaviors. I would try to find out what hobbies or interests make that student happy and try to apply those themes in the classroom or learning exercises.

Overall Quality:  I really enjoyed your prsenation it had a lot of information and was very informative.

Two Takaways:
1.) I like that you how you expanded my knowlege of IDEA.  I also liked how you talked about the IEP and the importance of it.
2.) I like that overview tnat you provided about the token economy and the importance of using positive reinforcement.

One Wonder:
I wonder how the provide positive reinforcement throughout the whole school.

Overall Quality: Melissa, great job on your presentation. I found the slides to be very informative and the information very important as a future educator to keek in mind.
Two Takeaways:
1.)  I like that alot of the materials that we talked about about in class you put it in the slide. It was good review. I liked that you talked about the IEP more depth espically when a student is transferring from another school.
2.) I like the overview of the special education slide. I think it was great summary and straight to the point. I found various information about the behaviors that I would like to visit when thinking about  students.
One Wonder:
I wonder with positive behavioral support since it is suppose to be a school wide focus, or apppiled to individual students. How are schools implementing them? How is it tracked and who is accountable for it?

Melissa, great job on your presentation.  I really liked one of your statements "If you could design a program to assist students with behaviors, rather than punish them would you?". This statement made me relate to my ILP topic surrounding Effective Token Economy Systems. Specifically, how Token Economy Systems that utilize positive reinforcement, rather than a punishment, are usually much more highly effective deterring negative behaviors. I found that your statement aligned with many of the constructs of effective positive intervention to lessen detrimental behaviors with students with disabilities.

I think it is a very complete presentation with supported summarized bullet points of important ideas.
1) I expanded my understanding of the IEP process and the importance that it has even when children are changing schools at different states. This are legal documents and should be followed through specifically the way is written.
2) I think is interesting when you point out that It is difficult to make a manifestation determination ( student excluded over 10 days) unless there is a known physical cause for the problem behavior.
- I still wonder about students that live in a dysfunctional family situation and this is causing the problem behavior. How would you approach behaviors that are learned from home (accepted with their family) and are the total cause of inappropriate behaviors at school?

Overall quality:  This was a very good presentation, with an excellent summary of student rights within IDEA.                 Two takeaways: 1) This presentation highlighted the importance of analyzing the behavior (through functional analysis). It is helpful to have a good picture of possible triggers, in addition to when, where, and place that the behaviors are occurring. 2) It is disheartening to see how frequently schools are resorting to suspension.  One wonder:  I continue to wonder about the future of managing challenging behaviors within the classroom. It is a difficult challenge to meet the needs of students with disabilities, while still ensuring that the classroom has limited disruptions. I wonder if further research and training can help aide teachers in teaching skills and using best practices for responding to challenging behaviors in a fair and equal manner. I think it is important to meet a youth where they are, and not to set them up for failure.

This was a very well put together presentation...lots of useful, by the book, information.

Takeaways:
1.You have reinforced my knowledge of the procedures involved in legal obligations when administering discipline to problem students. Also, I didn't know that serious infractions could see a student in alternative placement for 45 days.
2.You have reinforced my understanding that a sound behavioral management implemented inside of the classroom is probably more important than any other aspect of the discipline escalation model.

One thing that I will wonder about is seemingly eternal: how is it that the rights of perhaps one student supersede the right to an education for all other students?
