ECSE Week 2

• I don't know that it would help me as much, per Se, as the others-outside of which, that I would be teaching the material:  I imagined, since I was born in 1970, I could give the girls a "living timeline" (such as I was 16, when part C was implemented) to help and to give them the perspective, that, yes most this has all happened within one lifetime, but also, just how long it takes to effect change.  (i.e.;  the original IDEA being signed when I was 5).  The main point is that change takes dedication and patience, as well as perseverance in your cause.
• What experience or resource helped you learn the most, The 20 year anniversary celebration of the sit-in for 504.  I was only 7, but I do remember a little bit of it (a year after Teton Dam, still adjusting).  I remember my mom being worried.  She never expressed why, but was amazed how, when I had returned from my mission, one of my closest friends, at home, was wheelchair bound with Spina bifida.  She wasn't sure how to take Brittany.  We talked about it, and I just let her know how to interact (nothing to be afraid of).  Ironically, Mom had worked for orthopedic surgeons since I was 6 and for the medical profession, much of my life.  It just shows, you can be around it, and still find both bigotry and intolerance.  It wasn't until the "bullies" felt both outnumbered and "out of the norm" (and lots and lots of both positive exposure and education), that a good portion of the dignity and affability towards our friends who have disabilities or impairments was established.  Don't forget the cost (or we will pay it, again).

• How well prepared are you for applying what you learned in the future?  I think it shows in how we "live" it.  Are we willing to make a change, now?
• Teaching my peers, when I am independent study, is really limited to short class exposure or communication within our groups.  I feel that I hopefully share, that which is felt worthwhile, but it is also up to them to see if they will allow a new perspective into the paradigm.
