Education Field

Providing adequate supervision for pre-service teachers enrolled in special education field placements is a challenge. Rural placements often exacerbate this challenge due to the large geographical areas in which these placements are located. The purpose of this article is to describe one approach to early field supervision in rural settings that may provide solutions to this dilemma. E-peer coaching utilizes video-facilitated peer coaching to provide novice pre-service teachers (NPTs) with accurate feedback that is both frequent and timely. This study investigated the use of a Google App that allowed NPTs to record instructional sessions and provide feedback to one another under the supervision of a course instructor. Recommendations for implementation are discussed.

In this article, Alfredo Artiles identifies "paradoxes and dilemmas" faced by special education researchers and practitioners who are seeking to create socially just education systems in a democratic society that is currently marked by an increasing complexity of difference. He argues that the two primary discourse communities — inclusion and overrepresentation — must engage in a fuller dialogue and recognize the "troubling silences" within and between their respective literatures. Placing his analysis within the larger political context of current efforts and debates over educational reform, the author gives readers a broad overview of the literature on inclusion and overrepresentation. He then presents a multilayered analysis of culture and space that identifies the limitations of current research, while offering new possibilities and directions for the field. Artiles concludes that unless researchers and practitioners surface their assumptions about difference, as well as culture and space, the special education field will continue to perpetuate the silences that threaten the educational and life needs of historically marginalized students.

There is a lack of discussion and case studies about the adoption and use of knowledge management (KM) in special education in literature. This paper applies the concept of KM to special education and develops a specific knowledge transfer framework of creating online knowledge resources for special education. The results from two special education projects are described to demonstrate the value of the developed framework. This paper provides concrete evidences to increase the awareness of the role and value of KM in the special education field.

To create a true profession of special education, as distinct from a loose confederation of educators of various exceptionalities, has been the dream of leaders in the special education field. While a few colleges and universities endeavor to fashion a preparation program for teachers which cuts across traditional handicapping areas, a method is proposed through the preparation of special education administrators, rather than administrators of any one exceptionality area. Based upon a baccalaureate program outside the special education field and a master's degree stressing teaching experience in one area of exceptionality, the suggested minimum program of preparation for administrators in special education is three years of successful teaching experience and 30 graduate semester hours beyond the master's degree. The doctorate in administration of special education remains the most desirable goal.
