Teacher Judgment Accuracy In The Domain Of Spelling, April Spencer
Teacher Judgment Accuracy In The Domain Of Spelling, April Spencer
Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study investigated first and second grade teachers’ understanding of their students’ skill in spelling words of varying difficulty.

Professional Development
Students arrive in classrooms with a variety of skills, interests and needs. For many learners, the typical curriculum—including instructional methods, classroom materials, and assessments of knowledge—may contain barriers to educational participation and achievement. Students who are unable to access print materials face particular challenges. Accessible educational materials reduce barriers and provide rich supports for learning. By using accessible educational materials, educators enable all learners to gain knowledge, skills and enthusiasm for learning.

Policy Brief: Keeping All Students Safe Act Of 2014, Nancy Bergerson
Policy Analysis
Senator Harkin (D-IA), Senator Murphy (D-CT), Senator Baldwin (D-WI), and Senator Hirono (D-HI) introduced the Keeping All Students Safe Act (S.2036) in the Senate on Feb. 24, 2014. Rep.

We are asking you to co-sponsor the Keeping …

Universal design is an approach to designing environments and products so that the greatest number of people can use them.

This way, the greatest number of children can participate in the content and activities without adaptation.

Education
Surrogate parents are appointed to represent children with disabilities whenever the birth parents or guardian of a child with a disability cannot be identified, located, or when the child is in the custody of the state. They have all the rights of birth parents for educational matters, e.g. permission for evaluation and placement, release information and request for educational hearing. The primary responsibility of surrogate parents is to ensure that children with disabilities are provided with a free, appropriate public education.
