IEP
(Individualized Education Program):
An IEP is a
major blue print that highlights the specific disabling condition of the
student as well as why, what, when, how often and how well the students receive special education and related services to sustain their
ability to access the district's core curriculum. An official training packet
is available from the U.S. Office of Education and Rehabilitative
Services (OSERS). You can also access various official web
sites and sample IEPs.

Transition:
IDEA mandates that every eligible
student starting at age 14 will have transition service needs incorporated
into their IEP, such as the appropriate course of study to either receive
advanced-placement courses or other vocational and technical education
programs. This is to assure each student's legal rights and ability to obtain
meaningful support during their transition from middle to high school or from
high school to the adult world upon leaving school. You can access official documents and related services.

MI
(multiple intelligences).
MI is a theory of
human intelligences proposed by Howard Gardner. MI theory is adopted in
my course work for both Level I and Level II Education Specialists in the
Department of Special Education at San Jose
State University. MI is specifically introduced to serve
as (a) a growth paradigm that values individuals' ability within any
perceived disabilities, (b) the tools to teach for
understanding and (c) the foundation for career exploration
and self-advocacy training.

CREDE
(National Research
Center for Education, Diversity, and Excellence).
I was one of the Principle
Investigators in this research center since 1996. I conducted a 3-year
research project in a Title I middle school in San
Jose areas. We explored the
combination of CREDE's five effective teaching standards and MI as
tools to enhance participating students' language
and literacy development as
well as content
area learning in history, math, and science. In this web site, you can access the contents of CREDE's five effective teaching standards, various
publications and links to researchers across the country. |
