Topic: Should special
education students be given homework?
Possible Questions: Do parents at home already have
enough to worry about, so homework would be too much? Would it help the students keep the
consistency of the classroom and help them academically? Should it be the parent’s choice? Should it be a school-wide decision or
teacher to teacher, and they can choose?
People to Interview: I plan on interviewing the teacher I am a
Para-educator for, she teaches special education, and has done so for 6
years. We teach in a communications
support classroom, so our population of students is more severe. So, I will also interview a SPED teacher of
an inclusion setting to see if the responses are alike, or different.

Notes: I wanted to know
more about this subject because this coming year when I teach ALONE, I want to
have a better feel of how other professionals, parents, and researchers feel
about assigning SPED students homework.
My initial thought is that it depends on the student, and their severity
and home life, but it may not be fair to exempt certain students just because I
feel they cannot handle it, and it may be wrong.
You can interview me as well if you want. I have seen almost every one in the spectrum in autism. My brother is autism and I have a niece who is also autistic. So feel free to ask me question.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I definitely will keep that in mind :)
