Teachers are seeing more and more students with disabilities in their classes all the time. The laws and expectations of how school districts are to educate these students is complex and complicated. General education teachers need to understand the basics of special education and their critical role in the process. The problem is general classroom teachers often do not have the training to understand all that is required when educating students who have disabilities.
The laws that most significantly impact students' with disabilities educational program are the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. These laws are interpreted based on the individual needs of the student and can be difficult to implement. Join David F. Bateman and Jenifer L. Cline, authors of the ASCD book A Teacher's Guide to Special Education, in an engaging webinar where teachers will gain a basic overview of the expectations and intent of the law, an understanding of their role in the process, and some tools to help them be strong members of a student's special education or 504 team.
