Restraints in Special Education

The use of restraints has been a controversial and impactful topic of discussion in our education system for decades. Progress has been made in the last fifty years to better protocol in regards to such restraints to increase the safety for our students and security of students, but there is still much work to be done. We must continually review our current standards, employee training methods and models, to ensure that students are given the best opportunity to succeed and get an equal opportunity education.

Religion in School

When it comes to spending time in our public school system, either as a student or as a teacher, what is lawful when it comes to religion?  As our educational system has progressed over the years to where it is now, there have been many issues that have created court cases to help us explore and understand the laws pertaining to religion in schos.  In order to explore and understand these laws for both teachers and students, we will be looking at the First Amendment, several court cases, and the observation of religious holidays.

Encouraging Self-Efficacy

I used research from multiple resources to provide information about promoting self-efficacy (confidence in one’s abilities) in the classroom and found that it can be encouraged through verbal persuasion, mastery experiences, vicarious experiences and emotional arousal.

Commit Yourself to Long Term Memory

This presentation aims to answer the research question, what are long term memory strategies? I used research from multiple sources to provide information about long term memory. The beginning of my presentation outlines what the executive control process and how information passes into long term memory. The presentation will explain different ways to commit information into long term memory, such as using chunking, simple rehearsal and metacognition. This can be applied in a college classroom as well as my future classroom. My presentation will provide strategies for each.
