Course Introduction

Course Description

The Technical Committee on Special Education respectfully proposes a change in


the program name from Bachelor of Special Education to Bachelor of Inclusive and
Special Needs Education. The Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(CRPD) was signed by the Philippines in 2006 and ratified by Philippine Congress in 2008.
As a signatory to the CRPD, the Philippine government shall ensure access of persons
with disabilities to an inclusive system of education. This entails providing educational
support and reasonable accommodations to students with disabilities in the context of
general education. The practice of special education is no longer limited to special
education centers but to general/regular education classrooms as well, where students
with disabilities learn side by side with non-disabled peers.

The CRPD states that the government “shall take appropriate measures to employ
teachers, including teachers with disabilities, who are qualified in sign language and/or
Braille, and to train professionals and staff who work at all levels of education. Such
training shall incorporate disability awareness and the use of appropriate augmentative
and alternative modes, means and formats of communication, educational techniques and
materials to support persons with disabilities.” The proposed change in nomenclature
shows that the terms -- ‘special education’ and ‘inclusive education’ are not synonymous.

Special education emanates from a medical view of disability and focuses on


correcting deficits of persons with disabilities to enable them to function effectively in
society. Both views are prominent in the education of persons with disabilities in the
Philippines. This proposed course addresses the need to prepare teachers to handle
students with disabilities in both segregated and inclusive settings. The practice of
inclusive and special needs education does not only include students with disabilities.
Gifted and talented students are also included as one of its target populations. To use a
more descriptive but non-stigmatizing term, the Technical Committee on Special
Education also proposes the use of the term ‘students with additional needs’ to refer to
students with disabilities and those are gifted and talented. This is in recognition that all
students with or without disabilities have common needs but some of them will have
additional needs.

Inclusive education, on the other hand stems from the view of disability as
resulting from the interaction between the environment and the condition of the person
with disability. Resulting interventions under inclusive education focus on adjustments in
the learning environment as well as teaching strategies that include persons with
disabilities in general/regular classrooms.
Course Outcomes

The author prompted that graduates have the ability to demonstrate knowledge,
skills and dispositions under the following domains: a. Basic/Foundation: Provide
respectful and meaningful learning experiences and collaborative opportunities for
students with additional needs and their families. b. Learner Development and Individual
Learning Differences: Respond effectively to educational needs of students with additional
needs. c. Learning Environments: Create safe, inclusive, culturally responsive learning
environments for students with additional needs. d. Curricular Content Knowledge: Use
knowledge of general and specialized curricula to individualize learning for students with
additional needs. e. Instructional Planning and Strategies: Use evidence-based
instructional strategies to maximize learning opportunities for students with additional
needs. f. Assessment: Use multiple methods of assessment and multiple data sources to
make sound educational decisions for students with additional needs. g. Professional
Learning and Practice: Demonstrate reflective thinking and professional self-direction.

Intended Users

These program outcomes are aligned with preparation standards for special
educators by the Council for Exceptional Children, an international professional
organization of educators of students with exceptionalities or additional needs. Common
to a horizontal type as defined in CMO 46, s. 2012 a. Graduates of professional institutions
demonstrate service orientation in their profession b. Graduates of colleges participate in
various types of employment, development activities, and public discourse, particularly in
response to the needs of the communities they serve c. Graduates of universities
participate in the generation of new knowledge in research and development projects Draft
as of Aug 1, 2016. Graduates of State Universities and Colleges must, in addition, have
the competencies to support “national, regional and local development plans” (RA 7722).

Unit 2 - Inclusive Education and its Benefits

Special Features

In Special and Inclusive Education, the schools are accepting unconditionally all
children into regular classes (online and modular classes) providing as much support to
children, teachers and schools as necessary to ensure that all children can participate in
their classes.
The advent of the 21st century requires new perspective and directions in special
education to meet the needs of the disadvantaged children against the persistent
challenges and demands of the new millennium.

This is a gender sensitive instructional material where gender equality is a human


right which everyone benefits from it. It prevents violence against women and girls and
it’s essential for economic prosperity where societies value women and men as equal,
thus, it impacts people of all ages and backgrounds.

Words of Encouragement

A unique cross-disciplinary critique of the Foundation of Special and Inclusive


Education covers legal, conceptual, medical, neuropsychological, social, behavioral,
cognitive, psychotherapeutic, psycholinguistic, technological and pedagogical foundations
which provides examples of how each provides insights or practical contributions to
special education generally and to specific disabilities and disorders in particular. This
learning module delivers information across all major types of disorder/disability, creating
a must-have reference for anyone involved in special education training, research or
teaching.

VLOGGING
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
PED 16

Introduction and Rationale:

Using a vlog to demonstrate an idea also gives students the ability to watch and listen to the videos as many times as they want. It also gives parents an opportunity to see what their child is
learning in school. Vlogging builds trust with our students. It gives them something to look back at, keeps them creative
and it helps improve their speaking ability. This also builds relationships and demonstrates students' knowledge or expertise.

The reason why the author use vlogging as one of her assessment tool is that vlogging nowadays is so influential because it gives a sense of transparency in communication to our students,
deviating from a lot of time thinking up a unique tutorial or unboxing ideas.

DIRECTION: Creating a Vlog (assessment)


Create a vlog to expand your evidence-based knowledge on condition outside the ones that directly affect our small family, as well as be inspired by some of the most motivating
individuals in the disability community. Upload your videos to our Google Classroom class.

Preface
Inclusive education means that all students attend and are welcomed by their
neighborhood schools in age-appropriate, regular classes and are supported to learn,
contribute and participate in all aspects of the life of the school.
It is about how we develop and design our schools, classrooms, programs and
activities so that all students learn and participate together.
Inclusive education is about ensuring access to quality education for all students
by effectively meeting their diverse needs in a way that is responsive, accepting, respectful
and supportive. Students participate in the education program in a common learning
environment with support to diminish and remove barriers and obstacles that may lead to
exclusion.
It is carried out in a common learning environment; that is, an educational setting
where students from different backgrounds and with different abilities learn together in an
inclusive environment. Common learning environments are used for the majority of the
students’ regular instruction hours and may include classrooms, libraries, gym,
performance theatres, music rooms, cafeterias, playgrounds and the local community. A
common learning environment is not a place where students with intellectual disabilities
or other special needs learn in isolation from their peers.
Special education is specially designed instruction that addresses the unique
needs of a student eligible to receive special education services. Special education is
provided at no cost to parents and includes the related services a student needs to access
her/his educational program.

Content

Special education, emanates from a medical view of disability and focuses on correcting
deficits o persons with disabilities to enable them to function effectively in society. Both
views are prominent in the education of persons with disabilities in the Philippines. This
proposed course addresses the need to prepare teachers to handle subjects with
disabilities in bot segregated and inclusive settings.

Inclusive education stems away from the view of disability as resulting the interaction
between the environment and the condition of the person with disability. Resulting
interventions under inclusive education focus on adjustments in the learning environment
as well as teaching strategies that include persons with disabilities in general/regular
classrooms.

Definition and Scope of Special and Inclusive Education.

IEP (Individualized Education Program/Plan) – this include the student’s current


skills, his/her strengths, weaknesses and learning style, what goals will be targeted within
the school year. This entails the participation of everyone involved with the child’s
education. IEP team members include parents of the student, special education teacher,
classroom teacher, therapists even caregivers.

IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) – a federal law that was
passed in 1990 and has been amended. This provides children with qualifying disabilities,
from birth to age 21, with the right to a free public education that is specifically designed
to meet their unique, individual needs.

CMO 46 s, 2012 – Policies, Standards and Guidelines for Bachelor of Inclusive


and Special Needs Education

FAPE (Free Appropriate Public Education) – Students with disabilities who need
a special kind of teaching or other help have the right to an education that is not only free
but also “appropriate”, designed just for them.

Foundations of Special Education

Historical and philosophical beliefs – Special education is “specifically designed


instruction to meet unique needs and abilities of exceptional students. This is relatively
new. Historically, people with disabilities were often placed in hospitals, asylums, or other
institutions that provided, if any, education.

Greek et Roman – Era of Extermination –

• Disability is a “punishment of the gods” – A bad or evil sign


• Individual is what he is, now and forever
• Plato and Aristotle call for infanticide
• Cidero calls for the purity of the race, a society free of “defectives”
• Therefore, someone with a disability resulting from war (soldiers) is taken in
charge by the city

Greek and Roman – Consequences of Philosophy

• Chaining- left on hills to die- thrown off cliffs- locked away- drown
• Father has the right to terminate child’s life
• Deaf, blind children had little more chance

Old Testament

• God created man on his own image


• Disability is an impunity
• A disabled person cannot approach sacred places

New Testament

• Jesus helps disabled persons (ex: blind miracle)


• Disability is less a fault or an evil sign
• Need of assistance, help
• Help them is an occasion for “winning one’s salvation”

Middle Ages – Era of Ridicule

• Rigi caste system- Those with disabilities were:


o Used as servants or fools
o Some were still put to death
o Dwarfs were used as clowns
o Overall, ridiculed for deformities and behavior

Renaissance – Era of Asylum

• Catholic church accepts those with disabilities as wards of state


• Care in isolation
• No education at first, but humane treatment
• Belief: Once disabled, always disabled

Educability

• Without education, no humanity


• There’s no Human and half-human – equality between men

Special Education and Inclusive Education 5

• All knowledge comes through the senses (Johne Loce and Etienne Condillac)

First Experiences

• Pedro Ponce de Leon (1578) – in Spain created the first documented


experience about education of deaf children (from nobility)
• Abbe Charles Michael de I’Epee (1760) in Paris created the “Institut pour
sourds” (Institute for Deaf)
• Louse Braille invented “Braille script” (1829)

Pioneers in Special Education:

• Itard (wild boy)


• Seguin
• Montessori
• Decroly

(Description, goals, works, basis, and materials can be found on


https://bit.ly/30yUwBJ)

Last Century (1900’s)

• Biological emphasis – medical model – institutional care


• 1900-1950’s Compulsory education, Creation of classes or schools for the
mentally retarded, blind, deaf, etc.
• After the 2nd world war: Creation of special education system, organized in
parallel to ordinary system.

Special Needs Education – 4 periods of special needs education:

1. Instruction for pupils with sensory disabilities, many disabled children were
excluded from school
2. Care for the disabled, medical care and rehabilitation. Children segregated
into homogenous groups.
3. The principle of normalization and integration
4. Educational equality and equal education services (inclusion)

Characteristics

1. Special settings (segregation, class, resource room, school)


2. Special children (types, categorization)
3. Special teachers (trained or not, experienced or not)
4. Specialists

Evidence-based educational practices – sometimes take the form of general solutions


such as “individual learning”, early years intervention, metacognition, homework,
peer tutoring and feedback.

Unit 2- Inclusive Education and its Benefits

Inclusive education is about looking at the ways our schools, classrooms,


programs and lessons are designed so that all children can participate and
learn. Inclusion is also about finding different ways of teaching so that
classrooms actively involve all children. It also means finding ways to
develop friendships, relationships and mutual respects between all children,
and between children and teachers in the school.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of this unit, you will be able to:

● Grow and adapt to the demands of schooling for the 21st century and
beyond

● Provide meaningful access and participation in an inclusive classroom.

● Demonstrate the relationship between rhetoric and paradigm shift

Content

Inclusive education is about looking at the ways our school, classrooms, programs and
lessons are designed so that all children can participate and learn. Inclusion is also about
finding different ways of teaching so that classrooms actively involve all children. It also
means finding ways to develop friendships, relationships and mutual respect between al
children, and between children and teachers in the school.

It is not just for some children. Being included is not something that a child must be ready
for. All children are at all times ready to attend regular schools and classrooms. Their
participation is not something that must be earned.

Inclusive education is a way of thinking about how to be creative to make our schools a
place where all children can participate. Creativity may mean teachers learning to teach in
different ways or designing their lessons so that all children can be involved.

As a value, inclusive education reflects the expectation that we want all of our children to
be appreciated and accepted throughout life.

Beliefs and Principles

• All children can learn


• All children attend age appropriate education programs
• All children receive appropriate educational programs
• All children receive a curriculum relevant to their needs
• All children participate in co-curricular and extracurricular activities
• All children benefit from cooperation, collaboration among home, among school,
among community

Does Inclusion Education mean that all children should never leave their regular
classrooms?

Inclusive education means that all children are educated in regular classrooms. It does not,
however, mean that individual children cannot leave the classroom for specific reasons. For
example, a child may require one-on-one assistance in a particular subject. This may or
may not be happening during regular class time. Once schools are inclusive, serious
thought is given to how often a child may be out of regular classroom and the reasons that
this may be happening. It does not mean that children with certain characteristics (for
example, those who have disabilities) are grouped together in separate classrooms for all
or part of the school day.

Key Features of Inclusive Education

• Generally, inclusive education will be successful if these important features and


practices are followed:
• Accepting unconditionally all children into regular classes and the life of the school.
• Providing as much support to children, teachers and classrooms as necessary to
ensure that all children can participate in their schools and classes.
• Looking at all children at what they can do rather then what they cannot do.
• Teachers and parents have high expectation of all children.
• Developing education goals according to each child’s abilities.
This means that children do not need to have the same education goals in order
to learn together in regular classes.
• Designing schools and classes in ways that help children learn and achieve
something to their fullest potential (for example, by developing class time tables
for allowing more individual attention for all students).
• Having strong leadership for inclusion from school principals and other
administrators.
• Having teachers who have knowledge about different ways of teaching so that
children with various abilities and strengths can learn together.
• Having principals, teachers, parents and others work together to determine the
most affective ways of providing a quality education in an inclusive environment.

The Benefits of Inclusive Education

Over the years, the benefits of providing an inclusive education to all children have
been shown. Inclusive education (when practiced well) is very important because:

• All children are able to part of their community and develop a sense of belonging
and become better prepared for life in the community as children and adults.
• It provides better opportunities for learning. Children with varying abilities are often
better motivated when they learn in classes surrounded by other children.
• The expectations of all the children are higher. Successful inclusions attempt to
develop an individual’s strengths and gifts.
• It allows children to work on individual goals while being with other students their
own age.
• It encourages the involvement of parents in the education of their children and the
activities of their local schools.
• It fosters a culture of respect and belonging. It also provides the opportunity to
learn about and accept individual differences.
• It provides all children with opportunities to develop friendships with one another.
Friendships provide role models and opportunities for growth.

Differentiated instruction increases student engagement

One of the most important principles of inclusive education is that no two learners are
alike, and so inclusive schools place great importance on creating opportunities for
students to learn and be assessed in a variety of ways. Teachers in inclusive schools
therefore must consider a wide range of learning modalities (visual, auditory, kinesthetic,
etc.) in designing instruction. Certainly, this enhances the way in which educators
provide supports and accommodations for students with disabilities, but it also diversifies
the education experience of all students.

Academic support to help student access the full curriculum

In this age of accountability and high-stakes testing, it is important for educators to


ensure that every student is addressing the appropriate standards and objectives across
the curriculum. As such, inclusive schools provide academic supports (flexible pacing
and grouping, reading and literacy specialists, tutoring, etc.) that create a supportive
environment for all learners. It is immediately clear how these supports help students
with disabilities and English Language Learners, but inclusive schools can also better
challenge and engage gifted and talented learners by building a more responsive
learning environment.

Behavioral supports help maintain a positive learning environment for everyone

Another important factor in effective inclusive education is the implementation of


consistent behavioral supports throughout the learning environment. This consistency is
essential for the success of students with emotional or behavioral disabilities in the
general education environment, but school-wide behavioral supports also help to
establish high expectations throughout the school community as a whole.

Respect for diversity creates a welcoming environment for all

Inclusive education for students with disabilities can only be successful when those
students feel that they are truly a part of the school community. This requires open and
honest discussion about difference, and an institutional respect for people of all
backgrounds and abilities. In inclusive schools, the establishment of such a climate
benefits everyone by fostering an environment where students and their families are
valued for who they are.

Inclusive practices make effective use of school’s resources

In the past, special education often involved the segregation of students with disabilities
for the purpose of specialized instruction. Not only does that model of special education
in a separate setting deprive students with disabilities of interaction with their peers and
full access to the curriculum, it can also involve duplicate systems and resources that

Olivia is a fourth-grade student at Hillsborough Elementary School. She has one brother;
he is in kindergarten. Olivia loves to cook. She like to make quesadillas, blueberry muffins, and chili.
Olivia generally likes school – and especially enjoys chatting with her friends. Her favorite class is
science. She enjoys working with her classmates to do the experiments and lab exercises. Someday
Olivia wants to be a good scientist. She doesn’t know anyone else in her school who wants to be a
food scientist, but her next door neighbor is one, and it sounds like and awesome job. But Olivia
sometimes gets frustrated at school. She doesn’t read as well as the other students in her class.
Olivia likes her fourth-grade teacher and her special education teacher. They both help Olivia when
she has difficulty and help her self-assess how she is doing so that she can improve her learning.
