Special Education Law Presentation
There have been many education policy changes resulting from court cases, laws, and social movements in society. The laws that have formed special education today will most definitely affect the job of a special education teacher.
For this assignment, create a 3-minute video outline that could be posted on a school special education webpage as a resource for parents of students with disabilities. The video should show you as the presenter, summarizing the history of special education law in the United States, highlighting important historical judicial decisions.
Use the “Special Education Law Presentation Video Template” to outline the video. Your video presentation should consider the parental/guardian audience, be clear, and follow the “Professional Dispositions of Learners.”
Include the following in your video:
1. Brief history of special education before the 1970’s and from the 1970’s to present day referencing appropriate judicial decisions.
2. Brief description of two court cases about parental rights and students’ educational rights such as FERPA, IDEA, or rights of students in public charter schools or private schools.
3. At least 3-4 recommended resources including at least one from the state in which you will teach(New Jersey) to stay up-to-date with current legal trends in special education
Support your findings with a minimum of three scholarly references.
