We have started to talk about the different laws in school. One that we looked at is the Individuals with Disabilities Act (I.D.E.A.) Public Law 101-476. It has six elements to it including: Individual Education Program (IEP), Free and Appropriate Public Education (FAPE), Least Restrictive Environment (LRE), Appropriate Education, Parent and Teacher Participation, and Procedural Safegaurds.
We are also finishing up our Cultural Competence Project. My group did it on the Hispanic and Latino culture. I didn't know there were so many problems in the 60's. We tend to remember how badly the African American population was treated but the Hispanics got it pretty bad as well. Before Brown vs. The Board of Education there was Mendez vs Westmister.
