Lack of adequate descriptive data supporting the operation and efficacy of resource room programs prompted the investigation of resource teacher time utilization. To measure time use, a time sampling technique was employed and compared with teacher estimates of their time use. The teachers were found to spend less time than they estimated for direct instruction, participating in staffings, and working with Individualized Education Programs (IEP's). They spent more time than estimated on preparing for instruction and general school duties. In addition, no differences in the distribution of time use were found for teachers serving larger and smaller numbers of pupils.

This study investigated whether the perceptions of resource room teachers, regular classroom teachers, and principals differ in what they think the role of the resource teacher should be and what they know it actually is. The responses indicate considerable agreement among educator groups in their estimations of the percentage of time actually and ideally allotted to eight role activities, with support for more time in communication and consultation roles and less time in clerical and miscellaneous tasks. Principals perceptions of the percentage of time resource room teachers spend in actual roles were in considerable agreement with the responses of the resource teachers. Although this was not true for the estimates of the classroom teachers, this group was the most supportive of increased resource room teacher participation in communication and consultation activities.

This study aims to determine the utilization of the worker’s time in the filling process, packaging department, a cup and bottled water company. Considering the aim of the study and the task characteristics, work sampling technique was used. Two production lines and two work stations were selected for time studyanalysis. In each work station, two workers with different tasks were involved for the time analysis. A number 586 and 1710 observations from Worker 1 in Line 1 and Line 2, and 586 and 1440 observations from Worker 2 in Line 1 and Line 2 were taken and observed. Results showed that the utilization of worker’s time are 31.7% and 33.6 % of Worker 1 in Line 1 and Line 2, and 25.6% and 21.0% of Worker 2 in Line 1 and Line 2. Results of significant testing showed that no significant differences were found for workers’ time utilization between Worker 1 in Line 1 and Worker 1 in Line 2 (Z=-0.82, p=0.41) and between Worker 2 in Line 1 and Worker 2 in Line 2 (Z=2.17, p=0.03) for α=0.01. Regarding findings in this study, it is reasonable for the management to consider work station which one worker per machine instead of two workers per one machine.

THIS ARTICLE DESCRIBES CHARACTERISTICS OF INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PROGRAMS (IEPS) OF 46 STUDENTS FROM NINE DIFFERENT STATES IN KINDERGARTEN THROUGH GRADE 12 WHO HAVE MULTIPLE DISABILITIES AND RECEIVE ALL OR PART OF THEIR EDUCATION IN GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSES. THROUGH CATEGORICAL CODING OF THE STUDENTS' IEP GOALS AND OBJECTIVES, SEVERAL THEMES WERE IDENTIFIED THAT HIGHLIGHT PROBLEMATIC CHARACTERISTICS OF IEPS. ALTERNATIVES ARE SUGGESTED THAT THE AUTHORS BELIEVE MAY MORE ADEQUATELY COMMUNICATE THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF INDIVIDUAL STUDENTS TO THEIR TEACHERS IN GENERAL EDUCATION CLASSES AND IMPROVE THE USEFULNESS OF IEPS.

With many students learning English also identified with disabilities in public schools, collaborations across special education and English learner (EL) education are critical to promoting these students’ academic and linguistic development. Yet, many special education and EL teachers work independently of one another, focusing on their own specialized roles. In the process, students with disabilities who are learning English receive fragmented, inadequate special education and EL services. This article provides specific strategies—cocreating individualized education programs and instituting consultations—special education and EL teachers can implement to break out of their isolated roles and to build synergistic relationships that benefit the learning of students with disabilities who are learning English.

The purpose of this survey study was to obtain descriptive information about job situations of special education paraeducators from paraeducators across one state and determine their perceptions regarding roles, current issues identified in the literature, and other issues of concern. Of particular interest was whether perceptions varied based on (a) paraeducator assignment (one-to-one or group) or (b) time in general education settings. More than 1,800 paraeducators responded. Findings supported previous studies based on smaller samples. Problematic issues previously associated with one-to-one paraeducators in general education settings were reported as concerns by both one-to-one and group paraeducators who spent all or most of their day in self-contained settings. Discussion centers on the importance of “paraeducator voice” in efforts to address broader issues of inclusive schooling, clarification of paraeducators as instructional team members, and better understandings situated in practice of the paraeducator role as an effective intervention alternative sometimes for students with individualized education programs.
