Special Education Students Academic Performance on Tests

This book deals with a study that was designed to §determine if a significant difference exist between §the academic achievement of special education §students in inclusive and non-inclusive settings. §Specifically, the book covers information about §whether the placement of special educations students §affects student s performance in the areas of §reading comprehension, reading vocabulary, total §reading, mathematical concepts, applications and §total mathematics on norm-referenced tests. An Ex-§Post Facto research design was used to gather and §analyze data. The results derived from the study §revealed that there was a significant difference §between placement and students performance in the §areas of reading comprehension, reading vocabulary, §total reading, mathematical concepts, applications §and total mathematics on norm-referenced tests. The §implications for this study are valuable in that it §raises the question of placement of students and §their success as it relates to reading and §mathematics. It serves as a starting point for §having real conversations towards looking at the §real true benefits of what it means to leave "No §Child Behind".
