In this episode, we will talk to a special educator who entered the field to learn she had a caseload of 27 high school students with complex needs. She decided trust needed to come first, with both her students and her colleagues. Then, came the development of a structure and design that was going to make a FAPE for each of these students happen in the LRE, with her by their side.
In this podcast, I read a case study on least restrictive environment from the text, Special Education Law Case Studies: A Review From Practitioners by David Bateman and Jenifer Cline.
In this episode, Rebecca shares powerful insights into her work as a consultant on anti-bias training for educators. Additional note: There is a fair amount of feedback in the first minute or so of the podcast as both participants are recording from home during the pandemic. The feedback quiets as the podcast progresses. My apologies.
In this episode, we reflect on the history of special education law and its evolution. We discuss the work we all engage in to become ethical educators. We discuss the impact of our bias on the educational decisions we make for students with complex needs.
