SPED 310 Week 2

This week in Special Education we really dived into the laws behind Special Education in the US, and why we have them. It is so important to make sure that we are following the laws that have been made to help those with special needs. With that, we also need to make sure we are constantly looking for more ways to improve.

 A recourse that really helped me this week was our book. It outlined the laws thoroughly and helped me understand different concepts behind IDEA. The videos about Serbia also helped me realize how much we have changed in our country because of these laws, and how we must fight for those who don't have a voice.
I would say I am pretty well prepared to apply what I have learned this week to the future. I am able to see the changes I can make in a classroom and also in a student's life to help them be more successful by implementing these laws. I want to make sure I understand them all a little better.
My peers and I learned a lot from each other this week. We were able to draw on one another for experiences with those who have special needs. And each of us used different sources which also helped with discussion. Overall this was a very successful week of class. I learned so much.
