After viewing the presentations about the legal cases (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Te1sLRzvw6vPjSfH7PUJWrk9Bi-OFlsRFCP36fUHMnw/edit?hl=en&authkey=CJ-Vqu4H# ), I find my biggest legal concern to be Honig v. Doe which clarified the rights of disabled students with regard to disciplinary actions. Since the IEP is a legal document that is “fiercely protected,” ignorance of it is no defense. In addition to my regular classroom, I always will need to know which students have IEPs as well as the accommodations necessary to remain in compliance with the IEPs. The IEP in this legal case is a living document where the other cases were rulings that require either a new case or legislation for the cases to be modified. In my opinion, Honig v. Doe requires all teachers to be special education teachers whether we receive training for that specialty.
