By blurring the  lines between special education and general education, students can receive a more well-rounded education. Special education students will be more properly exposed to hidden curriculum in general education classrooms. I liked this image because it shows multiple people helping paint and blue the borders between the two sections. To me, this represented how much work and advocacy has to go on behind the scenes to even make this possible.  ]]> 2022-05-29 00:11:08 UTC https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203188037 morganbevell https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203190351 The main point of the article was that blurring special education promotes full inclusion (Fuchs et al., 2010).  When asked to picture a typical student, we usually think of a "normal-looking" child with no physical or learning disabilities. I really love this picture because it displays an array of people with varying abilities. I truly believe that inclusion benefits not only those with disabilities, but for those in the general population as well. There is so much we can learn from one another and those in special education deserve to be apart of that process!]]> 2022-05-29 00:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203190351 morganbevell https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203191719 One big takeaway I got from the article was that those in special education still need advocates to fight for their rights and equality. It pained me to read about how we are still questioning whether it is best to keep those with disabilities separate from the general population or not (Fuchs et al., 2010). As educators, we are in a position to actively fight for those who cannot fight their own battles. We need to be the biggest advocates for those in special education because we are in a position to conduct real change for them. ]]> 2022-05-29 00:28:01 UTC https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203191719 morganbevell https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203193847 I chose this picture because it shows the problem solving model in a very simplified way, while still portraying that it is a multistep process. This provided a very good visual to me as to why people struggle to solve problems with one another. People have their own experiences, and therefore, can have miscommunications at any one of these steps. I believe the "looking back" step is the most important so that both parties can reflect on the result and make sure their needs are addressed. Perhaps one person feels the problem has been resolved, but the other doesn't. By looking back, we can make sure the issue at hand truly gets fixed. ]]> 2022-05-29 00:38:14 UTC https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203193847 morganbevell https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203194871 I really liked this picture because it shows how chaotic problems can feel to us. I noticed that the image shows compiled puzzle pieces, but they have not been sorted out and placed together. This represented to me that we all have the power to solve our "puzzles", but sometimes we are too overwhelmed with the problem at hand ("jumbled pieces") to notice. Problem solving truly is like solving a puzzle in that it may take some time, careful evaluation, and adjustments. However, when we take a deep breath and work with one piece at a time, soon enough the entire picture will be complete. ]]> 2022-05-29 00:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/morganbevell/SPED854/wish/2203194871
