multicultural special education
Read the Obiakor (2007) article: Multicultural Special Education: Effective Intervention for Today’s Schools. Answer the following
a. Describe your reaction to the Obiakor piece: is he right on, way off, or somewhere in between? Why do you think so?
b. This article focuses on Richardo and the educational assessment that determined that he was designated as a special education student. It is among the educationally-challenged students that proper/improper teaching methodology can make an impact on learning gains. Very few teachers wish to deliberately do harm to their students through their teaching methods. Why do you think Richardo did not do well in school, despite receiving services? What needed to be done to assist him?
3. Adults, such as yourselves, have come through the primary and secondary education systems. These mature learners have learned to navigate the world around them and continue learning the best that they can. Do you think the focus of this article can be translated to adult learning? Why/Why not? Provide examples and support for your opinions.
Remember to substantiate your statement with support from the article, as well as from other sources that we have already read in class.
