After reading this chapter I learned a lot about emotional and behavioral disorders.Students who show struggles in externalizing and internalizing behaviors are often associated with academic difficulties in areas such as language, math and reading. I did not realize that the inconsistency of the definition surrounding such disorders is causing a great number of problems when trying to serve the needs of students with EBD. It is definitely necessary that I take all this information into account in my future classroom. Being able to recognize sign of emotional and behavioral disorders is going to be crucial when approaching students in different situations and also when planning out lessons and activities. It will also be important for me to work closely with the parents of the students and special education teachers.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize the inconsistency of the definition regarding these disorders was creating problems in supporting student with EBD either. As the chapter said, there has been insufficient support provided by school for individuals with such disabilities; this is why I believe we as teachers play such an important role in recognizing these disabilities, so that we are able to adapt as much as we can to help them be most successful. I also agree that it's important to work closely with parents of these students. Their support and input is so important and will only help us as teachers.
DeleteAfter reading chapter 6, I learned a lot more about emotional and behavioral disorders and how to teach students with them. It's important that individuals with EBD are provided with efficient support from schools. I didn't realize there was such a wide range of emotions and behaviors with associated with the disorders. I was surprised that people with EBD are the most likely to drop out of school. I find that it's most important that I promote inclusive practices in my future classroom to ensure that those with disabilities feel a part of the general classroom. I will also need to be able to recognize EBD so that I may adapt my lesson plans, daily activities and setting of my room to assure success.
ReplyDeleteI also found the fact that people with EBD are most likely to drop out of school, extremely surprising. It too makes me want my future classroom to be fully inclusive for the betterment of the students and their education. Learning the signs to recognize various disorders will come in to be very helpful especially when writing and designing specific lesson plans.
