Education

This assignment provides you with an opportunity to apply your Week 1 learning by analyzing five fictional scenarios and identifying which,

if any, of the core principles of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) they violate. There may be more than one acceptable

answer therefore, it is very important that you provide a rationale for the principle you choose.

Specifically, your assignment for this week is to:
a.    Identify which principle(s) of IDEA is violated in each scenario.
b.    Use your Week 1 reading and lecture to provide a rationale (explain why) that justifies your responses.
c.    In each of your rationales you are to provide at least 2 citations from the power points, your book or other scholarly sources.

Important: Your interpretation of the principle violated may be different than your classmates but that does not mean it is incorrect as long

as you provide a detailed rationale (following the directions) for why you feel the principle you picked was violated.
