Special education policy and legislation drives the field in terms of what professionals are expected to do to meet the diverse needs of students with exceptionalities. For example, how does law impact the decisions you make on a daily basis, such as due process paperwork or your educational decisions? The Discussion for this module will help you explore the service delivery process by aiding your understanding of the ethical implications of special education policy, law, and procedures. Ethical behavior is an important part of this process. Understanding previously-passed legislation and the evolution of special education law impacts the way teachers make decisions. This is essential in determining the most appropriate services and instruction for individual students. By comparing laws in other countries to those in the United States, you will see that while many things are the same, others may be different.
For this Discussion, you will compare international policies, laws, and procedures related to ethics in the field of Special Education. You will also analyze your ethical responsibilities and practices in working with students with exceptionalities.
Post your responses to the following questions:
What did you find to be similar in U.S. legislation verses international legislation? What is different?
What do you believe are your ethical responsibilities in supporting students with exceptionalities?
How might you ensure that ethical concerns are addressed and advocate ethically for your students? How can you protect your students from those who do not follow ethical principles?
