As a special educator, you will fulfill many roles and responsibilities for your students, families, other staff members and for your administration. It is important to know these roles and responsibilities so that you maintain professional, ethical, and legal dispositions at all times.

Allocate 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.

As a special educator, you will have many roles and responsibilities. Collaborate with your mentor teacher to reflect on the following professional roles and responsibilities of a special education teacher:

Case managing and managing others, i.e., paraeducators, aides

Differentiating lesson plans with general education teachers

Legal and confidentiality concerns when working with students and families/caregivers

Conflict resolution among students and staff

Being involved beyond the classroom

Advocacy and mentoring students, families, and other colleagues

Lifelong learning and staying current on educational trends and legislation for special education

Any additional roles and responsibilities your mentor describes

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

After the discussion with your mentor, complete a  reflection based on your findings. Discuss any new insights, areas of concerns, and what you feel you need to know more about as you complete your studies.

In addition, discuss what steps you will take to keep yourself informed on special education and how you plan to be a lifelong learner after you enter the classroom.

Reflect upon how you will use this information in your future professional practice.

Access the GCU e‐library and locate six peer‐reviewed articles on Police and Community Relations. You need to specifically research articles that assess a particular community relations program/policy. access at least three databases for these articles. In a 1,500‐2,000 word analysis (total word count for the assignment), do the following:

Summarize each article:
1. Give an overview of the Topic.
2. What methodology (approach to understanding the problem) was used?
3. What were the implications/conclusions?

Construct a comparative analysis of Police and Community Relations by:
1. Describe the positives and negatives of the approaches that were taken in each of the six articles.
2. Delineate the approaches you would have taken in each of these six situations.

What is the Impact of Rehabilitation Programs on the Field of Corrections

For this discussion, you will be focusing on your self-development and your learning experiences in the context of the workplace. In your initial post, apply basic research methods and the alignment of content within research to the questions below by making connections between your personal experiences and the content from the readings. You might also utilize other peer-reviewed articles of interest to you to support your assertions and conclusions. Analyze how your personal development in the learning and cognition domains have matured and developed through your formative years and work experiences. Your writing should not simply answer each question; a fully developed personal analysis of your own growth and learning processes should be concise and well organized in a manner that exhibits your improved writing ability and reflects APA style format.

In addition to answering the questions below, include an introduction and conclusion to your post.

What types of training and education have you received in the workplace?
What do you do now that differs from your past educational learning experiences?
How have your life experiences affected your learning?
Have events in your life influenced your beliefs and how you assert yourself in the learning process?
How do you see yourself as a life-long learner?
Next, consider how organizational learning and culture affect you personally and apply skeptical inquiry to the resolution of problems related to your own learning and cognition. How might you adjust your current strategies? Finally, apply ethical principles and professional standards of learning and cognition psychology that you have learned about to teaching or counseling others in the workplace. What implications should you consider when working with others?

Support in the classroom is not enough for families who have children with disabilities. Assisting families and caregivers in finding support outside the classroom is a necessity for a child to flourish and reach his or her fullest potential.

Allocate 2 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Collaborate with your mentor teacher to identify student and family supports offered within your school and community for individuals with disabilities regarding academic, transitional, and/or vocational skills.

Specifically, discuss the following items as you research these supports with your mentor:

Who oversees the support: the school or an outside agency? What services do they support?

Are the services free, or do families need to pay for these services?

How are community resources shared with families? Are supports discussed in the beginning of the school year, at conferences, in IEPs, or elsewhere?

Did the mentor teacher create his or her own newsletter/brochure, or utilize the school, district, or community made resources?

Discuss the importance of continuing the support for students and families or caregivers outside of the classroom. What are the benefits and challenges associated with receiving supports outside of the school day?

Discuss if there are limited resources in certain areas, and if so, how has the mentor teacher or school addressed those identified limitations.

Use any remaining field experience hours to assist the mentor teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

Compose a 500-600 word summary based on your discussion with your mentor regarding student, family, school, and community supports available. Reflect on how you will use this information in your future professional practice.

Utilize critical thinking techniques that Identify, Analyze, Define, and Evaluate the issues in the film and how they relate to today’s society

As a special educator it is not only your responsibility to instruct and support students both academically and behaviorally, but to also locate support for families and caregivers outside of the classroom. Families and caregivers may be unaware of the resources available to them in their area, or even know where to begin to seek additional support. As a special educator, you will be expected to have a wealth of knowledge in this area, pointing families and caregivers in the right direction so their child can reach their full potential.

Create a 1-2 page digital newsletter or brochure for parents and caregivers that provides background information on utilizing resources. Describe how the resources can help individuals with disabilities and their families by providing appropriate, relevant assistive services.

Your digital newsletter or brochure should:

Identify 10 organizations, specific to a community of your choice, which support parents and caregivers of individuals with disabilities. Resources highlighted should include community and supporting advocacy agencies that specialize in academic, transitional, and/or vocational skills for individuals with disabilities. Include supports at the community, state, and national level.

For each organization or agency you recommend, provide the following information:

Name of organization/agency, contact information, physical location, and website link.

A brief description of services offered specific to meeting the needs of individuals with disabilities.

A brief overview of activities, events, programs, or strategies the organization/agency has or utilizes that supports an individual with disabilities and/or the family and caregiver.

The newsletter or brochure should include graphics that are relevant to the content, visually appealing, and use space appropriately.

Two physicians, Dr. S. and Dr. V., leased a nuclear camera so they would no longer have to refer their patients to the local hospital for nuclear imaging. Faced with the prospect of losing over a third of its $2,274,094 in annual gross nuclear medicine revenues, the hospital responded by threatening to revoke the doctors’ admitting privileges. Lengthy negotiations ensued, at the end of which the hospital agreed to sublease the camera from the two physicians; the camera remained at the physicians’ offices but other physicians with privileges at the hospital could use it. Four other local physicians who provided the same or similar services to patients as Dr. S. and Dr. V. brought a qui tam action alleging that the sublease violated the Anti-Kickback and Stark Acts and that the defendants falsely certified compliance with those laws in connection with claims submitted to Medicare in violation of the False Claims Act.
