    Special Population’s Philosophy of Education

    The purpose of the special education programs is to help children with their disabilities.

    To understand the subjects and help them become a better student is important. Helping the

    student with these problems and using the programs that the State has built to help them. Will

    help them in the long run. It doesn’t only help the student but it also helps our state to become

    better in the future. Taking the time to teach and not judging them, really does increase our

    graduation percentage. The three special student populations that have been the most command

    in education has been Special Education, English Language Learners and Dyslexia. Here are

    some programs that can be use to help the students and how special education can be describe as.

    Also, how to learn from it and us the disability as an advantage.

    Special Education

    One of the most command situations that happens during teaching is not paying attention

    to the signs that children show while they are learning. Another is judging them based on their

    home style. Now the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act demands children to get offered

    an appropriate ambitious educational program, that will be able to help the child make progress

    in their circumstances. The goal is to lead the academic success and develop support to the

    strong outcomes for all students with disabilities. Balancing the approach of results between

    good grade and bad. Will help the States Supreme Court notice for those in need of help for

    Special Education. Not only will it help the education system to help the children with

    disabilities but it will benefit our society as well. If students achieve their goals they could go to

    college and our percentage for college will increase throughout the years.

    English Language Learners

    Most of our English Language Learners come from homes that their parents don’t speak

    English or are immigrants, even the student might be an immigrant. Most of these parents are

    born outside of the country but they come to the U.S.A for a better future. Schools support those

    who are bilingual and usually get them in the program such as ESL (English as a Second

    Language). The program will test them in the ability of understand English by listening, writing

    and reading. Sometimes they will test the student in grammar and spelling depending on the

    grade level. Some students struggle to learn English and some don’t. Even though it’s naturally

    easy to speak the language, it might be hard to spell or write it on a piece of paper. This is why

    the school tries to get as much information from the student to help them and support them in the

    process. English learners still have to meet the same challenging State academic standards that

    all children are expected to meet. There might be an ESL Wavier but that varies on the test

    results from TEKS. The test the State uses is Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS), to

    test the students on their knowledge on English. All these results depend on the students and

    their effort to learn a second language. Speaking two or more language will earn you more

    money in the future. It’s great for the students to learn multiple languages.

    Dyslexia.

    Knowing a child that has Dyslexia might be easy to call out at times. They have

    difficulties with accuracy or fluent words. Recognizing is difficult for them and their spelling is a

    very weak ability. Dyslexia is one of the most supported fundamental foundation a school

    supports, because it is the skill to read and write. Students need to be able to detect the ability to

    read and write, in the long run. On September 3rd, 2021, the State Board of Education updated

    the Dyslexia Handbook. Now teachers are required to evaluate the student if they suspect that the
    SPECIAL POPULATION’S PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION 4

    students have dyslexia. They are able to give the child the help that he or she needs. Anyone who

    is planning to evaluate the student must be trained to do so. Now also the screening updates are

    that kindergarten students must be screen by the end of the school year. First grade must be

    screened no later than January 31st. There are instruments used by LEAs to screen for dyslexia.

    Kindergarten is tested on the letter sound knowledge or letter naming fluency and phonological

    awareness. First grade is tested on word reading accuracy or fluency and phonological

    awareness. The tools that are used to screen are free. It is important to examine children while

    they grow. They might not show that they have dyslexia at the beginning of their growth, they

    might show this disability later on. Teachers must pay attention to their students and their work.

    Having dyslexia is not an easy thing, some students struggle to focus and understanding the

    sounds of the letter or putting the words on paper. If they overcome this disability, they could

    become a teacher and help those little ones that have dyslexia, also they could give them some

    tips on how to control it.

    Conclusion

    To conclude, having a disability is a tough case. Many students don’t realize that their

    friends might need help. It is important to teach every student, that not everyone is the same.

    Everyone learns differently and at different times. If it’s possible to get a parents involved in the

    child’s education, it’ll help both parties. Always be aware of the different type of students that

    are in class. That’ll make it easy to teach the class a certain type of way, it’ll also help the teacher

    separate the students in groups from highest to lowest. Acknowledging, every student in their

    unique way and following the State Laws, will make the classroom a success.
