Lesson 3- Amanda N.

This week we learned about the six important principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Part of our class activity was to read a Case that was taken to court because it violated one or more of the six principles. We were then assigned to play roles as either representing the family side or the school board side and one of us as the head judge. It was a challenge for me this week because I feel like I need to put in some more effort to understand what we are talking about in class and I am trying to improve. The six principles of IDEA are important and critical parts and every school and teacher should keep these in mind when teaching students with special needs.
