What is No Child Left Behind?
• The purpose of this law is to close the achievement gap with accountability and choice.– Accountability: The
school system• Administration• Teachers
– Choice: Parental Choice• Different schools that
meet AYP• Special Education
• Goals:– All students with limited
English proficiency will become proficient
– Taught by highly qualified teachers
– Meet AYP standards• AYP
– Assessment through testing
• Disabilities

Philosophical Approach• Constructivist• Developmentalist
![Page 5: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Constructivist• PRO: Requirement to reach diverse
learners may lead to more hands-on/applied instruction, less memorization.
• CON: AYP req’t may lead to exact opposite- just know the facts and be able to repeat it on a test. Testing and progress req’t take focus away from the learning experience.
![Page 6: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Developmentalist• NCLB by it’s NAME should mean that each
student is getting their individual needs met,• BUT- AYP and other requirements may not
allow teacher’s time to do this.• Inclusion: SpEd students may be on different
developmental levels than peers – good or bad?
• IEP is a very developmentalist approach: education is student-centered and student-specific, built around one student and begins at their current level of learning and development.

Historical Background• Learning Disabilities (LD) as a field
of research in the early 1960s• Elementary and Secondary

Individuals with Disabilities Education
Plan• Inclusion (Mainstreaming)• Education Community toleration• Closing the Gap between Special
Needs students and General Curriculum Students
![Page 11: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Curriculum• General Education Classes
– Inclusion as soon as possible• Prepare the students for real world
experiences• Severe Cognitive Abilities• IEPs (Accommodations and
Modifications)
![Page 12: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Accommodations• Accommodations
– Equal Access to learning and equal opportunity to show what they know.
• Areas to accommodate– Instruction– Organization– Grades– Homework– Testing– Environment– Communication
![Page 13: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Modifications• Modifications
– Provide meaningful and productive learning experiences.
• Areas to modify:– Instruction– Organization– Homework– Testing– Grades– Environment– Communication

Testing• AYP
– 1% sit out• Alternative Assessments• High Stakes
![Page 15: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

NCLB and the Speducator
• More Consulting / Less Teaching
• Overall + effect– Results in more
inclusion– Results in more
collaboration
![Page 18: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
More of a Consultant
• GenEducators may need SpEd strategies to raise test scores (Neel, 2006)
• NCLB mandates that students learn from highly qualified (not SpEd)
![Page 19: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
More Inclusion
• Same Access, Same Teacher, Same Test
– So- Same Classroom?• (Handler, 2006; Paulsen, 2008)
![Page 20: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Collaboration is a Joy!
Speducator
Gen Educator

More Collaboration
• NCLB calls for Shared Responsibility– For gen-ed content and common assessments– SpEd students are spending LESS time in SpEd
classrooms (more time in gen ed).
Percentage of special-ed children who spend more than 60% of their day outside a regular classroom
![Page 22: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
More Collaboration…• GenEducators need Speducators
to meet strict NCLB standards– Help to work with struggling students
(Handler, 2006)– Mutual Interdependency (Neel, 2006)
![Page 23: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Collaboration• “You have some, I have some, we
need each other for the whole” (Neel, 2006)
• Helps meet the highly qualified standard– Both teachers are experts in their
own area• Collaboration is necessary for
success
![Page 24: Kaitlin White Mark Sanders Megan Davenport Nicole Faulkner](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070409/56814516550346895db1d82b/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Successful Collaboration
• Sustained over time• Collaborating teachers working
towards the same goals• Draw on each others expertise• Principal being an advocate and
allowing time to plan collaboration

Position on the issue• We are for the changes that have
been implemented for the Special Education Curriculum goals and what the roles of the Special Educators have.
• We are against the changes that have been implemented for the testing on the Special Education Students.
