I believe it is possible to create an ideal school or classroom environment. There are ample examples in public and private schools throughout the US and other developed countries in which schools work tirelessly to shape their school culture to meet the needs of students and teachers. However, it is important to realize in this conversation about creating an ideal school or classroom that what is ideal for one child might not be ideal for another child. For a school or classroom to work as a learning space for a child it has to be a good match with the child’s needs, as well as the child’s personality. We are quick to expect children to adapt to their schools, but not expect schools to adapt to their students. So while there are ideal schools, I believe they come in different shapes and sizes.
Unfortunately, we do not allocate sufficient resources for our schools, especially public schools, to rethink their curricula and learning spaces to effectively meet the needs of all their learners. Our standards mentality has resulted in our public schools looking and acting as though there is only one image of a good school or classroom.
What are the 4 Parts of IDEA?
As noted, the latest reauthorization of IDEA contains a number of changes that promote the development and use of assistive technologies. It underlines the importance of integrating technology into the classroom, so as to enhance the educational curriculum for students with disabilities.
Just like the original EHA, IDEA is divided into four parts:
Part A lays out the basic foundation for the rest of the act and is largely administrative.
Part B entails educational procedures for individuals with disabilities, aged 3 to 21.
Part C deals with infants and toddlers with disabilities and provides guidelines for early intervention.
Part D entails national activities, such as grants from the federal government and other government institutions, as well as from non-governmental organizations (NGO), for-profit companies, and other entities that are concerned with improving education for individuals with disabilities.
