Goals of this class

My goals for this class are all over the place.  I want to know so much of everything!

- I want to know more about autism because it is always changing and evolving with new information.
- I also want to know how SPED can be put in a global scale! Even into 3rd world countries.  I dont know how to implement that or where to start, but that's where I want to go in life.
- How can you incorporate progressivism into a SPED classroom? like a Resource class?  Students are going in and out of that class about every hour and a teacher has different students all the time.
- IQ Achievement Discrepancy I think is a big problem.  I found out that the Canyons district is doing away with it but I wonder if it will really stick and other canyons will follow through.
