If you said Tasha's birthday and the presidential Inauguration Day you are correct. I just got done with my Special Education Class and I have a couple of hours to kill until my next class. This is suppose to be my time to work on my online classes, however that is hard when there is nothing to do right now. Both of my online teachers left unit one open for the first three weeks. The majority of unit one is what books you need for the class, what to read, reading the syllabus, and finding your way around the online class. I know I shouldn't be complaining because I will probably turn around and start complaining that they are giving out to much work. Oh ya, my quiz results. I didn't think I did too bad, um okay soooooooo I did great!!! I didn't think I was going to be able to remember everything I was suppose to remember, but I did. But I have to give thanks to my husband that stayed up with me and quizzed me. Actually, he said I couldn't go to bed until I got it right. I love having a very supportive husband. Dr. Thomas said something really good today in class. I have heard it before, but it just hit me more today than ever before. He said, "If you don't know where you are going, then how do you know when you get there?" I think it is very important for everyone to have short term and long term goals.
He also gave us our first paper assignment, but he said it will not be due for a while. It is Position Paper I: Inclusion: To what extent do you think students with disabilities should be included in the regular classroom? Should students with disabilities be fully included in regular classrooms for the entire day or should a student's placement be individually determined using the continuum of placement options? Explain the reasons for your opinion. How can teachers shape the attitudes of the nondisabled students toward students with disabilities? Issues that may be addressed include: The advantages and disadvantages of inclusion for students with or without disabilities; labeling issues; separation and stigma issues; and social and educational outcomes for students with disabilities.Throughout your paper and in the context of your arguments, cite specific points from articles with which you agree or disagree and explain why.
So long for now!
