IDEA’s Exact Words
Again, let’s start with IDEA’s full requirement for identifying the supplementary aids and services a child will need and specifying them in his or her IEP. This appears at §300.320(a)(4) and stipulates that each child’s IEP must contain:
(4) A statement of the special education and related services and supplementary aids and services, based on peer-reviewed research to the extent practicable, to be provided to the child, or on behalf of the child, and a statement of the program modifications or supports for school personnel that will be provided to enable the child—
(i) To advance appropriately toward attaining the annual goals;
(ii) To be involved in and make progress in the general education curriculum in accordance with paragraph (a)(1) of this section, and to participate in extracurricular and other nonacademic activities; and
(iii) To be educated and participate with other children with disabilities and nondisabled children in the activities described in this section… [§300.320(a)(4)]
We’ve bolded the part of IDEA’s regulation that specifically mentions supplementary aids and services, because it’s important to see the context in which this term is used. It is that context, and IDEA’s own definition of supplementary aids and services, that will guide how a child’s IEP team considers what services the child needs and the detail with which the team specifies them in the IEP.

Support for teachers
(3) Post at least 3 resources that you
find beneficial for your blog.
The Support for Teachers link is one that talks on what special education teachers face great challenges - school reform opportunities coupled with No Child Left Behind and the new Individuals with Disabilities Education Act; diverse role expectations from administrators, general education teachers, and parents; demanding case loads; increased amounts of paperwork; and lack of resources. Despite these challenges, special educators continue to give of themselves and ensure their students receive the best education possible.
Addressing Bumps in the Collaboration Road
Collaboration is characterized by subtlety, and seldom does just one factor contribute to a problem in the relationship. Perhaps participants have differing views on the value of reading instruction in middle school. This difference of opinion is magnified when one person has a negative experience with a general education teacher over a reading assignment. this article is great in the idea that it touches on the fact that though collaboration can be great but at the same time it can also hinder learning and teaching.
CES releases New Standards
CEC’s recently developed standards for advanced roles in special education break new ground. The standards outline the knowledge and skills special educators who are experienced, seeking an advanced degree or certification, or going into administration or higher education should know.
Lessons from the trenches
Co teaching and the harshness that come with it and how some teachers preview it in the high school level and everything. Interesting aspect of how some schools handle the idea of two teachers in the classroom.

Links to Look at... IDEA 2004
http://idea.ed.gov/
This site is separated into two separate categories. you can look at Part B which is for people with disabilities from 3-21 years of age or Part C which is Birth- through the terrible twos. Part C is much less informative as it has little to do with education rather major regulations for these children and statutes are on the site regarding IDEA 2004 are on the site. Part B seems to be more informative as it pertains to our focus as elementary and high school
http://nichcy.org/laws/idea
This site is made by the National Dissemination center for Children with Disabilities. It basically touches on all information pertaining to current IDEA standards and regulations that must be met for both groups that i have mentioned in the previous link. it also touches on laws and research being done as well.
