History Of Special Education Timeline

/in /by

The inclusion of individuals with disabilities, both in schools and in the community, has changed significantly over the last 100 years. This has been influenced by a variety of events, court cases, and laws. It is important for special education teachers to be aware of what has instigated these changes. In addition, special education teachers need to be knowledgeable of the laws that are related to special education and how they will affect service delivery to special education students.

Part 1: Timeline

Create a timeline of the history of special education from the late 1800s to the current year. Include 10-12 major events, laws, and court cases that, in your opinion, have influenced special education. Provide a 25-50 word description of each factor in the timeline and a rationale for your selection.

Part 2: Summary

In 250-500 words summarize the changes in special education portrayed in the timeline. Emphasize the two key special education laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Discuss how each has influenced the inclusion of individuals with disabilities in the educational setting.

In addition, reflect upon how knowledge of special education history will affect ethical decisions in your future professional practice.

Cite the CEC Ethical Principles and Professional Practice Standards for Special Educators to support your stance.

Support your findings with a minimum of two scholarly resources. You may include this topic’s resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the guidelines found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Create A Sample Budget

/in /by

To create a sample program personnel budget and to evaluate your budget. (A sample has been attached to guide you in the process).

Scenario:
You are the director of a small center, Child Time, and forecasting for your upcoming year. Your program will have three classrooms open, each projecting to be full: two toddler rooms of 8 children (in each classroom) and a preschool room of 18. All three rooms will need two teachers the entire hours of operation, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm. Teachers can work no more than eight hours per day, meaning you will need additional coverage during the day in each room. You need to create an annual budget that considers the expenses of six teachers plus you (adding in 25% for fringe benefits to base salaries) to the income generated by tuition. Your goal is to keep the percentage of your budget spent on personnel at 70% or below.

Create a spreadsheet to calculate the average hourly rate you can pay all of your teachers, assistants and yourself, which includes the percentage of total income you are spending on payroll. This spreadsheet also needs to include what you are charging for tuition for each age group.
