1. Legislative and Regulatory Process
This chapter will provide information on what type of law IDEA is (federal) and what the differences are between statutes and regulations. The chapter will also assist the participant in understanding the links between federal and state laws and regulations and how those guide local policy.
2. Searching for Information
This chapter will assist the participant in learning to use the idea.ed.gov website for searching IDEA, Part B (federal) statute and regulations. They will also learn to find and use a variety of excellent resources on this same website and then move to locating relevant state regulations and other guiding documents used for interpretation. Finally, there will be some explanation and demonstration of how all of these pieces are linked together.
3. Internet Searching
This chapter will put the strategies for searching into “production” and will guide the participant in learning where and how to start their search process in order to answer a question about service delivery for children with disabilities in schools (IDEA, 504, other). Through a process of questions and demonstration, the participants find and use resources to confidently understand what the law says and how local interpretation further defines or clarifies our actions in schools.
