Research Topic: Understanding the Perception of a Special Education Student Made by Teachers in Inclusion Classroom Settings
Needs Assessment
As educators we should view all students in the same light. Commonly teachers view students with disability labels as an excuse to perceive this particular population differently. At the end of this 10 question qualitative questionnaire study, it is my hopes that teachers recognize how they view and teach this special population of students and change their negative behaviors and/ or perceptions if needed. To provide students with a grade level curriculum for an enrichment program to enhance vocabulary, high order thinking and the ability to analyze and synthesis

I presented both general education and special education teachers with a 10 question qualitative questionnaire to complete between a 2 week time length to measure teachers perception and level of understanding in educating the special education population.
Results proved that general education felt that they were not educated enough to teach their special education students without the expertise of the special education teachers. The perception of special education students was not valued as high as the special education teachers. Special education teachers stated that they seek out special education students immediately.

implement within the lessons. Met with curriculum team to analyze 6th grade Reading TEKS. Once all TEKS were analyzed, I created several model lessons to provide teachers throughout the 2013-2014 academic school year. Participating staff members were given brochures in which I created common school supplies and other additional information to shed light on updates to build relationships amongst the educators and parents. Weekly Local Common Assessments which are written using questions from Margaret Kilgo measure student success in mastering grade level TEKS. C3, C4,C5,C7
Alief Proud
Parent / community involvement is an area that Alief ISD is attempting to improve. Alief Proud is a program where educators go to parents at their residence to communicate and encourage their participation in campus sponsored activities and programs.
We were received very well within the community and parents were excited to receive goodie bags that were made and the information that was shared.
