Sed 125 Reflection

Now that what I have learned from SED 125 has been dicussed, I’ll move to how this all changed how I think now. When I learned about the impact ableism has on people within a society that have a disability it really interested me. I took the knowledge that I learned about ableism and created a Civic Engagement letter for my First Year Seminar. I created a letter that address three different school districts RSU 40, RSU 13, and RSU 28 Special Education Departments, about bringing some alleviation of the ill effecfs of discrimination. The letter states that with the new knowledge I learned of UDL and Inclusive Education may allow teachers and faculty members alike to stop and think before they become the “ Tiny Tims or the Super Crips” in an educational society and create an environment of striving for fullest potential of each child. …show more content…

Being taught the proper way to speak about disabilities really helps, I am now trying to speak in “ Person first” so as not to discriminate or place a stigma upon a person’s shoulders.
When I eventually become a teacher all the new information I learned about diversity and disabilities in SED 125 such as knowing that not all children learn the same way or that some children may have a bigger struggle than others, and how to build healthy positive relationships with my future student. I will try to apply all the new information to my classroom

  • Ted Talk By Keith Nolan Ethos Logos

    807 Words  | 4 Pages

    A disability can make someone look at a "disabled" person in a specific way, even though they are just as capable as others of doing things. Some people don't realize the impact someone with a disability can have on the world because they are limited and criticized for their issues. People without disabilities can show what they have, and those with disabilities will never even get past the starting line because of people's biased views on disabilities. After listening to the Ted Talk by Keith Nolan, a private cadet, he established ethos, logos, and pathos through his educational speech on the deaf in the military. In the Ted Talk, Keith Nolan backs up his story with emotion, statistics, credible information, and real-life experience.

    The courts ruled in favor of the plaintiffs in this case. It was determined that “all children in the District of Columbia have a right to free public education, and that those with disabilities should be thoroughly reviewed and placed in appropriate programs” (Weebly, n.d.). This case was significant because it highlighted that all children, even those with disabilities such as emotional disturbance, “have the right to a public education that accounts for their needs and abilities. This case helped pave the road to The Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EHC) of 1975, federal legislation that was enacted to protect this right” (Weebly,

    529 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the 1954 landmark school desegregation case, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (347 U.S. 483), the U.S. Supreme Court settled that it was unlawful to discriminate against a group of people for arbitrary reasons. The Court determined that education was defined as a important part of government that should be given to all citizens equally. The Brown decision by the U.S. Supreme Court set a example that was used by parents and advocates to secure equal educational opportunities for children with disabilities. Two court decisions in 1972, Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children (PARC) v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and Mills v. Board of Education, District of Columbia started a bustle of litigation pertaining to the education of children with disabilities.

    Formal requirements for equality are not guaranteed to create change and give access in the ways needed (Hamraie, 2016). Designing a course without knowing the students and their specific needs, there may still be gaps in having the best success of student learning. UD has changed meaning from the initial concepts of creating spaces for those with disabilities and assumes that higher education is in a post-disability era where being disabled or the disability identity does not matter (Hamraie, 2016). Educators should learn about disabilities and how disabled students learn to better plan courses following the UD/L principles. Without understanding disability, educators cannot teach disabled students

  • Argumentative Essay Full Inclusion

    1007 Words  | 5 Pages

    The failure to implement full inclusion appropriately has numerous detrimental effects on the parties involved. One disadvantage for full inclusion is that the socialization part precedes the academic component, notwithstanding the fact that it should not be the primary goal of education. Inclusion movements aim to make disabled students look normal, overlooking the issue of whether they are undertaking educational programs or not. This can have a negative effect on the academic progress of students with disabilities because important skills are not taught for the sake of the learner making physical presence in a full inclusion classroom. Fox (2013) claims that there is a need for disabled students to reap maximum benefits from this integration.

From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.

    Some of these disabilities are invisible, while others are very noticeable. In either situation, said person with a disability should have a choice on the accommodations they receive and how they are treated or ‘handled.’ Different methods of communication may be needed; however, simply including the individual and asking if they’re interested in participating creates a more positive environment. Individuals with disabilities have worked just as hard, if not more, to get to the place they hold in school, work, or at a university. The most detrimental thing to anybody’s state of mind is to not be taken seriously or to be put at a lower priority because of a disability.
