The fourth in a series of studies investigating the |
|
educational context and outcomes for high school students |
|
with disabilities (SWDs), this study examined types of |
|
courses in which SWDs are being enrolled, and the role |
|
perception of special education teachers. Twenty-one |
|
special education teachers from three high schools in |
|
urban areas, three in suburban areas, and three in rural |
|
areas participated. Results indicate teachers believed |
|
their most important role was to teach learning |
|
strategies to the students and to work with their general |
|
education teachers. They believed the students' greatest |
|
needs with regard to succeeding in general education |
|
classes were learning strategy instruction and homework |
|
assistance. When asked how they spend their time, they |
|
reported that they spend some time teaching learning |
|
strategies, and their estimated time in this activity |
|
ranged from about 15% to 90% of the time they spend on |
|
academic activities. Most of the schools did not seem to |
|
have a clear plan for giving SWDs real access to rigorous |
|
general education courses and for supporting their |
|
success in those courses, and only one program was |
|
utilizing research-based instructional programs and |
|
materials. Teachers indicated that they were not |
|
satisfied with student outcomes. (Contains 23 |
