Ethics in Special Education
Working in educational settings seems more and more challenging as the years go by. As a teacher, you may face ethical challenges and issues in your work relating to students with disabilities. Answer the following questions in your post:
- What is an example of an ethical issue relating to students with disabilities that you or a colleague has encountered?
- With which CEC standard for ethical practice does this issue align?
- How did you or your colleague address this issue? How was it resolved?
- What might you do differently next time an issue like this occurs?
Part 2:
Special Education Current Issues
For this discussion, focus on the School Kids tab in the Blooming Park: Meet the Class media piece for the school you chose.
Consider the students’ needs and challenges. In your post, answer the following questions:
- What apparent current issues might impact how the school provides special education services to students?
- How might these issues affect students, parents, and families?
- What could you do to help colleagues, students, parents, and families address the identified issues, if you were teaching these students?
