T-tests revealed significant differences in attitudes toward transition between the two groups. Special education teachers displayed significantly more awareness of transition goals, involvement in implementing these goals and increased communication about transition goals. Vocational education teachers indicated that they should attend the IEP meeting and have involvement in writing transition goals, but that they generally are not involved in …

Teachers were surveyed from four counties and asked to respond to an inappropriate student behavior with 1) positive reinforcement of the appropriate student behavior, 2) punishment of an inappropriate student behavior, 3) consequence which resulted in student escape from the academic task (negative reinforcement) or a free response of the teacher's choice. Results indicated that 49.6% of teacher responses were examples of positive reinforcement, 25.4% negative reinforcement, 6.4% punishment and 18.6% other …

A Descriptive Study On The Similarities Of Fears Held By Preservice Special Education Teachers And Preservice Elementary Education Teachers Prior To Field-Based Experience, Christina Galloway
A Descriptive Study On The Similarities Of Fears Held By Preservice Special Education Teachers And Preservice Elementary Education Teachers Prior To Field-Based Experience, Christina Galloway
Theses & Honors Papers
Although a great deal of attention has been focused on the issue of teacher burnout, very little has been done at the preservice level for both special and elementary education teachers to prevent it. Research shows that burnout is most likely to occur in the first three years of teaching; therefore, steps should be taken during preservice teacher training to help future teachers deal more effectively with the challenges and stress they will undoubtedly encounter. This study investigated whether or not preservice elementary and special education teachers encounter the same fears prior to their field-based experience. Thirty preservice teachers responded …

Establishing A Positive School Climate On The Playground For Students With Serious Behavioral Disabilities: A Collaborative Effort, Mildred Carol Fletcher Garcia
All Graduate Projects
Social skills deficits of students with serious behavior disabilities are often an obstacle to integration into the regular education system. Many of the most troublesome problems occur outside the classroom on the playground due to the lessened structure constraints of the playground environment. As a result, the students are labeled "bad kids" by the teachers and paraprofessionals, are socially rejected by nondisabled peers, and the downward spiral of a negative social "trap" is begun.
The purpose of this study was to create an inservice training packet promoting collaboration between teachers and paraprofessionals providing students with serious behavior disabilities a positive …
