Speaking out for school age children: Parent’s and Teacher’s Responsibility - Cindy Norwood
Friend of the Family’s host, Dr. Susan Turben, welcomes listeners to her controversial show! Her guest, Cindy Norwood, Executive Director of the Center for Mental Retardation, Cuyahoga County, Ohio is also a mom and zealous supporter of reforming schools so all children and youth with mental disabilities are included! Please join Susan and Cindy is a frank discussion about a crisis emerging in public education! Teacher preparation and professional educational teaching costs and standards are being challenged by advocates, families and legislators. States cannot afford special education and regular education both! Should special education courses be a standard part of all teachers training? What is your fantasy about the best qualities of an educational system that serves children with disabilities? How does your family get involved at school—is that the answer?
