26 Building the Capacity of Public Schools to Meet the Needs of Students with Autism: A Public/Private Partnership Robin Church, Ed.D., Sr. Vice President, Special Education November 10, 2011
27 High School (Bennett Building) L.E.A.P. Program Fairmount Campus Montgomery County Campus Kennedy Krieger School is part of the Kennedy Krieger Institute, a nationally recognized Center for Excellence in Developmental Disabilities Robin P. Church, Ed.D Sr. VP Education
28 100% 90% Demographic Shift in Autism Students (HS vs. FMT) The number of students with autism in nonpublic schools has increased significantly 80% 70% 60% 50% 40% Autism Non-autism 30% 20% 10% 0% High School Fairmount
29 IDEA Requirements According to IDEA, each public agency shall ensure that a continuum of alternative placements is available to meet the needs of children with disabilities for special education and related services. Nonpublic Schools are part of that continuum
30 The Continuum of Options The recognition that regular class placement may not be appropriate for every disabled student is reflected in the requirement that school districts make available a range of placement options, known as a continuum of alternative placements, to meet the unique educational needs of students with disabilities.
31 Building Capacity in Public Schools We believe that the future of non-public special education is not in the expansion of our home based campus programs but in our ability to bring our expertise into the public schools
32 Examples of Current and Future Collaborations Public/Private Partnerships: opportunities to provide evidence based, quality services in a public school setting On-site Consultation: working at classroom and school-wide level to improve inclusive practices, instruction, and behavior management Web-based Consultation: based on technology used in hospitals, remote observation with feedback for affordable, individualized classroom support University Collaboration: Series of classes/trainings designed to provide opportunities for continuing education/ceu accumulation for certification and internship sites Model Classroom Project: partnership with Kennedy Krieger School and ACCEL School in to improve the effectiveness of teachers working with students on the autism spectrum
33 Model Classroom Program Enhancing Teacher Effectiveness: ACCEL & Kennedy Krieger: A Collaborative Partnership to Build Better Teachers
34 National Focus on Teacher Evaluation No Child Left Behind and the National Governors Association (NGA) are targeting teacher evaluation policy as a way to improve student learning The NGA identified six policy goals for improving student learning: o define teacher quality o focus evaluation policy on improving teaching practices o incorporate student learning into teacher evaluation o create professional accountability through developing career ladders o train evaluators in pre-service programs o broaden participation in evaluation designs
35 Core Concepts Teacher effectiveness is a key component to positive student outcomes Teacher effectiveness must be defined across a range of variables Teacher supervision, evaluation, and continuous quality improvement are essential to ensuring teacher effectiveness
36 Model Classroom Program A direct classroom and interview based assessment and intervention that acknowledges the complexities of instructiona settings and teaching methodologies Integrates evidence-based components: Applied Behavior Analysis, Structured Teaching (TEACCH), Effective Instruction, Classroom Management, Curriculum Planning
37 Components of the Model Classroom Program Environmental Structure and Room Set-Up Student Schedule Development & Use Curriculum & Developmentally Appropriate Activities Teaming & Making Materials Effective Teaching Behaviors Classroom Management Data Collection & Use
