Your most important roles...

No Sesame Street in High School or baby toys.

Remove actions or things that are stigmatizing.

Allow students to be as independent as possible.

We are going to talk about your roles and responsibilities but before we do, we think these are your most important roles.Be discreet and unobtrusive. Remove actions or things that are stigmatizing such as no sesame street in high school, or baby toys. Don't sit next to or behind the student all the time as it creates the impression that the student is helpless. Avoid or minimize side b side support such as carrying students' materials or holding student's hands during transitions. the student should be doing it himself or herself. Prevent learned helplessness. the student ends up always looking back to the para for a response or the para is asked for a response. Step back and fade prompts and cues gradually. Allow students to complete work as independently as possible. Provide encouraging feedback.

So MANY letters!!!!

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

Historical Perspective

+

1990 to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), which further elaborated on the inclusion of children with disabilities into regular classes, but also focused on the rights of parents to be involved in the educational decisions affecting their children. IDEA required that an Individual Education Plan be designed with parental approval to meet the educational needs of a child with a disability.

+

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 or ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination based on disability.

+

The Family Education Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) protects the privacy of student educational records. All universities receiving federal funding must comply with FERPA. Educational records means things like grades, disciplinary records, and financial aid records. Under FERPA, students have the right to inspect their educational records, control disclosure of information, request amendments of inaccurate or misleading content, and file FERPA non-compliance complaints with the Family Policy Office of the U.S. Department of Education.

+

Section 504 of theRehabilitation Act of 1973protects the rights of individuals with disabilities in programs and activities that receive federal financial assistance, including federal funds. Section 504 provides that: "No otherwise qualified individual with a disability in the United States . . . shall, solely by reason of her or his disability, be excluded from the participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance .

+

The Every Student Succeeds Act is a US law passed in December 2015 that governs the United States K-12 public education policy. The law replaced its predecessor, the No Child Left Behind Act, and modified but did not eliminate provisions relating to the periodic standardized tests given to students.

2015 ESSA

The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) was signed by President Obama on December 10, 2015, and represents good news for our nation's schools. This bipartisan measure reauthorizes the 50-year-old Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), the nation's national education law and longstanding commitment to equal opportunity for all students.
