Name:
Statement of Focus (100 points)
Answer the following questions honestly. No one will read your responses. Doing so will contribute to an effective area of focus.
1. What area of ESE or Education do you feel YOU can change or improve? Please think of this in light of your proposed action research focus this term
I would like to focus on decreasing escape maintain behaviors during paper-based homework in students diagnosed with ASD at elementary level.
2. Why is this change particularly meaningful to YOU as an educator?
This is particularly meaningful to me because, as an educator, I would like my students to successfully engaged in academic learning activities at home, without exhibit maladaptive behaviors.
3. What do other educators or professionals tell you when YOU discuss this topic with them?
After consulting with other educators and professionals, they all agreed that this is an important topic for research, because this is a recurrent issue that parent had at home during academic activities outside of the classroom setting. This research can help parents to work with their kids, who are escaping or non-compliant during homework activities.
4. How is the desired outcome a part of YOUR educational philosophy.
Some children’s with ASD function well at both settings, but as an educator, create an intervention plan that can help those who struggle; and provide them with the opportunity to learn and keep focus, in different setting presented; is it very important. Maybe that can be a first step for our kids to integrate in society.
