Integration. Project Prepare: Competency-Based Personnel Preparation in Early Childhood Education Modules.
Pisarchick, Sally E.; And Others
One of nine competency-based training modules for personnel preparation in early childhood special education, this guide focuses on integration of children with disabilities in preschool programs. All modules are adaptable for use with a general audience, direct service personnel, or administrators and are based on the following principles of the Ohio Department of Education's Division of Early Childhood Education: developmentally appropriate practice; integration of children with disabilities with typically developing peers; collaborative relationships with families; attention to individual needs; and provision for and valuing of diversity among young children and their families. Modules are intended to be used in whole or in part, in groups or for self-instruction. Each module comprises goals; competencies (knowledge, skill, and values and attitudes); and objectives, with a matrix for each objective identifying enabling activities, resources, and leader notes. Relevant handouts, forms, and readings are provided for each objective. This module addresses five goals: (1) define preschool integration and become aware of its impact; (2) know the legal and ethical bases for preschool integration; (3) recognize the value of preschool integration in providing educational services to infants and young children, including those with special needs; (4) develop a plan to provide integrated services using existing resources, modifying current techniques, and creating appropriate strategies; and (5) become familiar with model programs providing integrated service.
