In 1974, Raul Martinez (Las Cruces, N.M.) joined the U.S. Army. While in the service, he attended New Mexico State University (NMSU), in Las Cruces, and in 1982 received a bachelor's degree in elementary education/special education. Still in the Army reserves, he taught high-school special-education classes in Las Cruces. According to graduate student Raul Martinez, New Mexico State University is "in tune with the Americans With Disabilities Act"but some areas still need improvement. However, in December 1986, while serving as a Special Forces paratrooper, Martinez sustained an injury that resulted in T10 paraplegia. He had rehab at the Long Beach (Calif.) VA Medical Center and in 1987 returned to NMSU to work on a master's degree in special-education administration, which he completed in 1996. "I decided on New Mexico State because it was near my home and provided the program I was interested in," Martinez says. "It was one of the first schools to offer a degree in this area for kindergarten through grade 12."

Extractions: We begin this discussion of inclusion with a question: How many times does the term "inclusion" appear in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)? The answer is none (zero)! That's right, "inclusion" never appears in the federal law (IDEA) nor the federal regulations governing the implementation of the IDEA in our public, private, and state supported schools. When the first legislation protecting the rights of students with special needs was passed in 1975 (the Education of All Handicapped Children Act (EHA), over one million children with special needs were excluded from public schools. As the US Congress has reauthorized this legislation, most recently in 1997, the legislative intent has been to ensure that students with disabilities are afforded a free and appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment. In other words, the intent has been to include students with disabilities with non-disabled students in all aspects of public school life, hence the term "inclusion" is used although it is actually not spelled out. Since most public school teachers have not had specialized training on working with students with special needs, there is tremendous resistance to fully including students with disabilities in regular classes. This resistance, and the desire of many parents to have their children with special needs fully included, has caused great conflict in public schools throughout the U.S.

Extractions: MEMORANDUM December 1, 2000 TO: Superintendents, Principals, Special Education Directors, and Regional Cooperative Directors FROM: Robert Pasternack, Ph.D., State Director of Special Education Cheryl Brown-Kovacic, Ph.D., State Director of Assessment and Evaluation RE: Guidance on Special Education Assessment Issues Due to the importance of the information in this memorandum, superintendents are asked to assure that all teachers receive a copy of it and that all teachers comply with the changes in testing requirements described. The State Department of Education believes and expects that all students should participate in the New Mexico assessment and accountability programs. When students receiving special education and related services are excluded from state and district accountability programs, they do not receive the benefits gained from participation, such as improved instruction, higher expectations and involvement in education reforms. The 1997 Amendments to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and the New Mexico Special Education Regulations mandate that students receiving special education and related services will participate in state and district assessments in one of three ways: in a standard administration; in a non-standard administration with accommodations as defined in the student's IEP; or in an alternate assessment.
Extractions: Justification The goal of the Asian and Pacific Decade of Disabled Persons (1993 - 2002) is "full participation and equality". There is critical need for a major Decade initiative to promote wide awareness and action in support of the basic right of disabled children and youth to mainstream education opportunities. In most ESCAP developing countries, this group has been overlooked in education programme design and resource allocation.

Extractions: A 14 page paper. Inclusion is the practice of having identified special education students spend all, or as much of the school day as possible, in regular classrooms. While there is a great deal of support for the idea, it has been very challenging for regular education teachers to implement. This paper discusses some of the strategies, techniques and methodologies that have been used in successful inclusion classrooms. Bibliography lists 12 sources. Since students with disabilities need to develop skills that will enable them to live, work, and interact in integrated community settings when they are adults, the educational system has taken great pains to guarantee they are provided with an appropriate educational experience. This 5 page paper provides a review of three articles concerned with the issue of inclusion. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Extractions: Summer 1998 Issues in Native American Education By Bonnie S. Bostrom Bonnie is the Chief of Education for the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. She is a member of the Alabama Band of Cherokee. Bonnie has her Master's Degrees in Special Education and Educational Administration. She is currently a Doctoral Candidate in Leadership and Educational Administration from the University of New Mexico. She has worked in many pueblos and reservations. Table of Contents Introduction Higher Education Introduction There are many important issues in education facing Native Americans today. This article will cover some of those issues. The issues are: special education services, parental involvement, economic issues, staff development, and political coalitions. This article does not cover all of these issues in depth. It will, however help readers understand them. Parents must understand their rights when it comes to Special Education referral, testing, and placement. The percentage of Native American students who are getting Special Education services is, in some places, much higher than the national average. You, as a Native American parent, should be aware that special education is not always the most helpful placement for your child.
