Literature Review This section will examine the history of Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (PBIS). Then explain how PBIS is an important addition to the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). Followed by an in-depth look at what the three tiers of PBIS are and the purpose they serve. Finally the vital role of the school counselor is explored to see whether the counselor would be a good candidate to implement the School Wide Positive Behavior Intervention Supports (SW-PBIS) framework.
The radio producers in my eyes, engaged in a case study design. A case study is, something of interest in its own right, and the researcher(s) goal is to provide a detailed clarification of it (Bell 42-43). Harper High School, is on its own very interesting, it is a, if not the most gun violence infested school in Chicago. Chicago, at the time was the only major metropolitan with rising murder rates, and Englewood (location of the school) has one of the highest neighbourhood murder rates. Harper High, embodied all the problems faced by the neighbourhood, and city, because it witnessed the issue of violence, like nothing else. Thus, when they sent in three reporters, they wanted to collect, detailed qualitative data, which would hopefully, illustrate
The work he produces in therapy has improved significantly, as he is able to produce legible handwriting in and outside the classroom. Dominic’s occupational therapist will be discharging him from occupational therapy, as well as declassifying him.

Overall, Dominic is a student who is functioning well academically and socially.

In 1993, Scott Russell Sanders responds to an essay written by Salman Rushdie, to counteract the idea of “people who transplant themselves in ideas rather than places.” Sanders provides the American public with acknowledgements of counter-arguments, historical references, and patriotic appeals to convey his message that “movement is inherently good” isn’t as it seems from Rushdie’s point of view.
By not being a responsible and dedicated student, he opened himself up for failure. On his last year of high school, Jim received a letter stating that he had received an F for my class and therefore could not graduate. He lacked five required units. Jim managed to obtain a “D” in
"History inevitability", "Dred Scott Case" which is the immediate flashpoint of American Civil War, can be avoided?
In Doe v. Koger, a student with intellectual disabilities was expelled based on disciplinary issues. The school denied the student a due-process hearing for students with disabilities. When the family took the school district to court, it was ruled that before changing the placement of a student with disabilities through long term suspension or expulsion, a hearing must be held to determine whether the child’s inappropriate behavior was a result, or manifestation of his/her disability. Doe v. Kroger was a monumental court case in the history of special education because it determined that students with disabilities can in fact be suspended or expelled as a disciplinary measure, but only after a manifestation determination has taken place
Goal: Braydon often refuses to follow or comply with requests and rules, even when reasonable. He will clearly lessen the frequency of passive-aggressive behaviors as evidenced by conveying anger and frustration through controlled, respectful, and direct statements and no more than three disciplinary referrals during the Second Nine Weeks. Intervention: MHP taught Braydon how to identify negative, hostile, and defiant behaviors, and develop new ways to reframe these behaviors in more pro-social terms. MHP taught his grandmother how to change her predictable response to reestablish control in positive, but creative ways.

Daniel Holtzclaw is an ex-Oklahoma City officer who is convicted of rape along with other several charges after he brutally abused many African American women over the course of six months. Daniel Holtzclaw was sentenced to 263 years in prison for the charges filed against him. Holtzclaw was convicted for 18 of 36 counts which included first-degree rape. Holtzclaw’s adamant lawyers tried to start a new trial by stating that there was not enough evidence but it was a lost cause although they did not want to accept it. There were several of Holtzclaw’s victims who obstinately spoke out about their abuse done by Holtzclaw himself. There was more than enough evidence to successfully put Holtzclaw aways for his crimes yet there were several dogmatic people who still had the audacity to say that he was innocent.
I recently had the opportunity to join a classroom at Horseshoe Trails Elementary school and observe a boy that will be referred to as Nick. Before the observation began I was able to speak with Nick’s teacher and obtain some background information about his development over the past year, his daily issues, as well as some family history. Nick is currently in second grade and has been struggling in the classroom for a multitude of reasons. For example, he has an individualized education program (IEP). In addition, he experiences issues with speaking clearly and concisely, due to a minor stutter.
Step 1: Facts of the case This is a case in which the plaintiffs are three long haired young men who were denied the ability to enroll in Tyler Junior College due solely to their hair length violating the schools dress code. One of the plaintiffs is a Vietnam War veteran who had attended the school for a semester the previous year and had caused no difficulties in that time. The school stated that long haired students had been known to cause disruptions in the classroom. It was due to this that the rule regarding hair length was implemented into the schools dress code. Step 2: Question of law presented to the court
Isolation Is the Worst Possible Counselor What might happen when a group of individuals is withdrawn from their daily lives and thrown onto a desert island for six months? What might happen if they are merely fourteen to fifteen years old? Many schools across the nation consider the construction of a new program that separates ninth graders from the rest of the high school community to settle behavior problems. This method could be argued as unnecessary and counterproductive. Transitioning from middle to high school, some ninth graders may appear problematic as they struggle to adjust, but separating them for one grade level will not make any significant difference, because tenth grade eventually arrives.
