There are no word count with these discussion questions just answer all parts of the question and give a good paragraph with relevant, and substantial answers.

 Discussion 1

Special Education Law

Before the passing of PL94-142, most children with disabilities were excluded from the public education system and received no services or support. What do you consider to be the most important component of this act for children with disabilities? Why do you feel it is the most important?

Discussion 2

 Inappropriate Test Items

Nondiscriminatory testing is imperative in assessments, yet language and cultural differences can be a major stumbling block when attempting to get valid test results on young children. Discuss test items that could be inappropriate for particular groups, and why they might be inappropriate.

Discussion 3

Differences In Recognition

Some exceptional children are easy to recognize, while it is difficult to recognize others. Drawing from your own experiences and your readings, discuss what this can mean to an exceptional child, the parents, and the teachers.

Identifying exceptional learning needs typically involves the work of school psychologists. Interview a school psychologist to help you better understand what they do and how that should inform what an early childhood teacher does to serve children with disabilities.

Use the interview outline below as a starting place, and add any other questions you think are important. If you like, you can share these questions with the psychologist prior to the interview so he or she knows what to expect. Then, submit in the assignment area a report of the interview, including answers to the five questions listed below, along with your brief analysis of these responses. You will also post a summary of your interview in this unit’s discussion.

Your paper should be 3–4 pages long. Support your statements with APA citations from the course resources and other readings, along with your interview.

Discussion 2

Warning Signs

Share with other learners a 2-3-paragraph summary of what you learned from your interview with a school psychologist. Based on your interview and on your readings, when should you be concerned that a child may have exceptional needs? When should you ask for help, and when should you ask for a special education evaluation?

Your boss mentions that recently a number of employees have received calls from individuals who didn’t identify themselves and asked a lot of questions about the company and its computer infrastructure. At first, he thought this was just a computer vendor who was trying to sell your company some new product, but no vendor has approached the company. He also says several strange e-mails requesting personal information have been sent to employees, and quite a few people have been seen searching your company’s trash dumpsters for recyclable containers. Your boss asks what you think about all of these strange incidents. Respond and be sure to provide recommendations on what should be done about the various incidents.

In the summer of 1992, Mattel’s Teen Talk Barbie came under fire for one of her 270 phrases, famously, “Math class is tough!” Research indicates that girls are in fact influenced by stereotypes early in their educational lives (Steele, 2003). Often, simply knowing that a group is expected to perform less well in a domain will increase the likelihood of poorer performance. Whether they be academic performance or choices on a doll test, the consequences of such covert and subtle forms of prejudice, stereotyping, and discrimination take a cumulative, life-draining toll on their targets. This week’s media resource gives you a clear illustration of the impact of stereotype threat.

For this Assignment, review the example of stereotype threat from the media in this week’s Learning Resources. Think about how stereotype threat is present in the example and about strategies an individual might take to counter this threat.

Reference: Steele, J. (2003). Children’s gender stereotypes about math: The role of stereotype stratification. Journal of Applied Social Psychology, 33(12), 2587–2606.

The Assignment (4–5 pages)

• Explain the concept of stereotype threat.
• Describe the example of stereotype threat present in the media resource.
• Explain how stereotype threat impacted group identity and/or performance.
• Explain two strategies to counter that stereotype threat.
