Lets post on here so we can keep track :)

Awesome Meghan! Here are the ones that I have found for you and Katelyn to use. [|Children with disabilities in the regular classroom.]

[|Cooperative planning for regular classroom instruction of students with disabilities.]

Also, here are the ones for Rosie and I to use in our part if you want to take a look at them.

[|Regular teachers' attitudes to the need for additional classroom support for the inclusion of students with intellectual disability.]

[|REGULAR EDUCATORS AND STUDENTS WITH PHYSICAL DISABILITIES.]

[|The Functional Effect of Teacher Positive and Neutral Affect on Task Performance of Students With Significant Disabilities.]

I found one that you guys might want in your part too- - [] I also sent about 5 interlibrary loan requests...they may not get here until later this week, but they were worth waiting for. I guess we will just have to have a big paper writing party sometime this weekend... ~Meghan ==== Meghan (et. all) See me about those articles you requested through interlibrary loan. I may have a way to get them faster. It looks like you ladies are doing great work. I'm proud of you. If you find yourselves waiting on a piece of key information we can create a 'hole' in your initial paper which can be filled in later. This will be a work in progress even after you are finished. Good work. ====

Here is Meghan and I's outline...

Accomadations: 1. Important of inclusion (K) 2. teachers training in sped (K) 3. NCLB ﻿(K) 4. Examples of teachers accomadations when it comes to students with different exceptionalities such as MR or LD etc. (M) 5. planning the curriculum (M) 6. adjusting the curriculum throughout the day. ( M)

***Ramsey said a quote today that I LOVED! I thought we should use it in our paper. it was "special ed kids are regular ed kids first".**

Meghan- some of the stuff we talked about in class today about curriculum might also help with your section!!

Hey girls! Tina and I are getting together at 9 tonight to work on our portion of the paper. Depending on how much we all get done in the next few days, I am hoping we can start collaborating our papers and sources together.

Here are my sources so far:

[|Co-teaching experiences: The benefits and problems that teachers and principals report over time]

This one is really just worth a mentioning in the paper without going into too much detail

[|Preschool teachers' perceptions of including children with disabilities]

This one is great because its a direct teachers view on teaching those with disabilities

[|Do States Have Certification Requirements for Preparing General Education Teachers to Teach Students with Disabilities? Experience in the Northeast and Islands Region. Issues & Answers]

I love this article because it covers the idea of teachers actually needing Licenses to work with students with disabilities

These are not all of my sources, however these are the ones I read and know for sure that they need to be included in the paper.

Here is our outline for the portion of me and Tina's paper:

2. Level of Disabilities in the Regular Education Classroom

a. What students with disabilities stay in the Regular Education classroom without also being a in a Special Education Classroom

b. How the attitude of the regular education teacher affects the performance of the student with disabilities.

*Also remember we thought of portions inside these subtopics to discuss, we just have not quite figured exactly what yet, but I will let you know!

hey girlies!! here is what i have done of my paper so far. I thought I would let you look over it (expecially meghan) and give me feedback. I am not anywhere close to done and this is just a first draft but i want to make sure i am doing what you guys want. Let me know. it wont let me type in pink...let me know if this works i cant really figure it out. ~katelyn

Hey girls! This is a VERY rough draft of what my part of the paper is. Tina, I was hoping you could look at this tonight and then we can discuss what can/should be added to the paper. I know I need to include A LOT more sources, so I am still working on that! Anyways, Katelyn, I really like yours so far! It gives me an idea of where we need to head with it!

See ya girls soon! Rosie Hey katelyn and meghan-  since you two are covering NCLB, i found a great quote that you could include in there! "'No Child Left Behind' requires state and school districts to ensure that all students are learning and are reaching their highest potential. Special education students should not be left out of these accountability mechanisms." - Dianne Feinstein  [|NCLB quote] <- here is the link for the quote so you can get the info for works cited   I will see you all tonight when we meet! ~Tina  ﻿Here is another resource I am using...  []  ﻿Also Im not sure how much of NCLB we should talk about. I feel like it could get kind of off topic. I will see you sll tonight! ~Katelyn
