sheets if necessary)
I would like to create a video library of
elementary educators who work in inclusive elementary classrooms. Since the
reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, the
overarching special education law protecting students with disabilities,
preservice teachers need to become aware of the ways that their future
elementary school classrooms have students with disabilities in them.
Currently, our students are not always placed in classrooms where students with
disabilities are taught – yet will be required to teach such students when they
become classroom teachers. There are some videos that well depict effective
teaching practices in inclusive classrooms and I would like to use some clips
from different videos to show in the teacher preparation classes that I teach .

Project
Description
This
proposal is to support me researching, critiquing and obtaining teaching
resources (i.e. videotapes) that could be used to effectively facilitate
preservice teachers' learning regarding how to teach students with disabilities
in general education classrooms. Prior research has indicated that many general educators have been assigned to teach
students with and without disabilities in inclusive classrooms despite not
having formalized education to do so. Therefore, I would like to begin to
incorporate ways that some teachers have come to better understand how to teach
students with disabilities alongside their peers without disabilities.
This
project is intended to augment the instructional materials that I use in the
classroom and will enhance my effectiveness in teaching because I will be able
to show ways that elementary teachers have been successful using various
teaching strategies to facilitate all students learning in their classrooms. The
videotape clips would allow me to enhance my own professional development as I
locate, review and critique materials and select them for student use.
In the
future, I intend to study the effectiveness of these materials and my students’
perceptions of using such resources to facilitate elementary students'
discussions about inclusive elementary education.

Itemization and Justification for Expenditures
Exceeding $250:
1.
Non-consumable
supplies/materials/books:
For this project, I would like to purchase videotapes
depicting elementary educators and their students with disabilities in
inclusive classrooms. These teaching resources can be used myself and other
colleagues to promote preservice teachers’ understanding of new laws that
mandate students with disabilities be taught in the least restrictive environment
– which is often the general education classroom. The videos that I would
purchase with this grant depict teachers and students with disabilities. In
addition, some of the videos depict students’ experiences/narratives in
inclusive classrooms. I will purchase these videos from Breaking the Barriers,
a national effort supported by TASH to create ways for others to learn more
about people/students with disabilities.
