A Clear View
I have chosen to stick with the website, "The Division for Early Childhood of the Council for Exceptional Children." The website had a section titled, Young Exceptional Children, and in this section is explains how important and serious dealing with children who may have a special need. The site indicates strategies that can be implemented within the child's environment, mostly in school, that have shown proof that it helps to decrease the amount of difficult behaviors.
This caught my eye because their are so many children with behavioral issues and some teachers and administrators are unsure as to how they should approach the situation. I think it is imperative as an educator that we should have several strategies available to us to help with children. Some children become accustom to the ways we do things and sometimes that can lead to that strategy not working anymore. This information is helpful in my field because I want to be able to have different ways to help my children and I want to offer help to other teachers that may be experiencing difficulties within their classroom.
I'm proud that we have organizations that understand what is going on and that they are willing to provide help. In the pass, we would have individuals brush the issues off to side and leave it up to the teachers to deal with the issues with little to no help at all. This is an improvement and I know in the near future their will be more organizations and more strategies available to educators.

TaShanna,
ReplyDeleteI took a look at the website you are studying and I must say it is a good website! It is great to see that many different resources and researches are being done to support disability. You made a point “This caught my eye because their are so many children with behavioral issues and some teachers and administrators are unsure as to how they should approach the situation”, and I cant help but think… how do teachers deal with the toughest situations? I mean there is many issues we deal with everyday as educators and we make judgment calls based on the needs of our children but I came across a video that made me really think outside the box. It is about a little child in their early years who is transgender; this child’s parents did their absolute best to make life the best it can be. But I wonder how did the teachers deal with this issue? If you have time take a look at the video I strongly recommend it.

ReplyDeleteThis website sounds very useful. I agree with you that is is imperative to have many strategies available to help us with our students. It is great how this website provides many options for teaching children. If one method does not work, you can easily access the website to find another solution.
