This year, Rich Weinfeld, Founder & Educational Consultant with Weinfeld Education Group, is celebrating his 50th year in education.

Here are his thoughts on American #education :

“Teaching has moved from being an art to a science. It’s now commonly understood that we must teach skills, by using evidence-based interventions provided with fidelity.

However, this forward progress in the science of #teaching only works when we #educators have current research that guides us in what interventions are effective, how they should be applied, and then measures the effectiveness through our students’ achievement.

To that end, the @usedgov has done the following:

1. Fund research studies.

2. Maintain a clearing house, "What Works Clearinghouse ," that tracks which interventions are proven and which are not.

3. Implement the National Assessment of Educational Progress also known as "The Nation's Report Card” to measure the progress of our students.

Also, crucial to us special educators, it is a civil right that this progress in education applies to everyone, regardless of difference or disability.

4. The Office of Civil Rights of the U.S Department of Education has worked to ensure that the Civil Rights of students with disabilities have been protected.

But now, each of these 4 crucial initiatives are being decimated.

Tragically, this returns us to where we were in 1975, the year I started teaching. Good intentioned school staff will now be making decisions without the benefit of cutting-edge #research , clear evidence of what works and doesn’t, or systematic protections for the civil rights of all #students .

All of this is a major step backwards with significant impacts for educators and more importantly for the students for whom they are responsible, and about whom they care so much about.

I encourage everyone to #advocate for a preservation of the progress we have made in education, for the benefit of all our students.

Contact your Congressman and Senators and let them know that we want the U. S. Department of Education to be staffed and funded at full strength.”

There are many factors to consider when selecting the best school that go beyond performance, funding, and safety.

📣 While WEG considers each of those areas, over the past 20 years we have developed a “School Selection” report that considers over 40 factors in five major areas.

We often testify in court proceedings about which school is best for the child or children in question and we provide these reports to parents all over the United States.

These reports are prepared by educational experts who have worked in schools, have advanced degrees in education and have authored peer reviewed articles and books.

⁉️ How can WEG help you select the best school for your child?

July is Disability Pride Month, marking the Americans with Disabilities Act, signed on July 26, 1990.

Research finds disability pride can protect self-esteem against the damaging effects of stigma.

Disability often reflects environmental barriers more than individual limitations.

Summer is a great time to organize your child’s IEP paperwork and reinforce skills outside the classroom.

Focus on preparing for the fall, building a personalized summer routine, and practicing current goals through everyday, hands-on activities to prevent regression.

Review and organize!

📒 Update your Binder:
Take this slower-paced time to review your child’s year-end IEP progress reports.

Note which goals were not met so you can address them in your next IEP meeting in the beginning of the new school year.

For generations, students with disabilities were denied special education services throughout their K–12 years and had to navigate a path that wasn’t designed for their success.

But today, with IEPs and the necessary support system, young people can graduate from high school, college, and earn graduate degrees with robust support.

🚨 Two of the @usedgov ‘s biggest responsibilities will shift to other federal agencies: safeguarding student civil rights and administering programs for students with disabilities.

For example, complaints filed with the U.S. Office of Civil Rights which fields complaints about disability discrimination in schools will be handled by @thejusticedept .

WEG agrees with @copaafape , who called on the Department of Education to reverse these moves, saying, in part, “All these actions unnecessarily complicate and delay access to the civil and education rights protections that the department is obligated to fulfill.”

Do you need to amplify your advocacy voice for your child’s educational needs?
