Abstract

Educational programs for students with moderate and severe disabilities (MSD) have undergone drastic changes since the mandate for access to the general curriculum was provided by Individuals With Disabilities Education Act. Since then, educators have struggled to find methods to use to promote optimal learning, including in the area of mathematics. The purpose of this systematic literature review was to provide an update on research related to teaching mathematics to students with MSD published from 2005 to 2017. Results from the included studies indicated that mathematics research has started to diversify in the skills that are being taught to this population. In addition to skills taught, current research has continued to inform the field on some promising methods that can be used to teach a broader range of mathematics skills. Emerging strategies that were identified included the use of concrete representations, anchored instruction, and instructional technology. Suggestions for future research are discussed.

Abstract

A high-quality education in the social studies is recommended by the National Council for the Social Studies to promote civic competence and democratic participation for school system graduates. Currently, limited empirical information exists to inform social studies instruction for students with significant intellectual disability (SID), especially within inclusive academic settings. Effective content instruction in social studies areas, aligned to the general academic curriculum and presented in the general setting, may help to improve post-school outcomes for students with SID. A multiple probe across participants single case design was used to determine the effectiveness of paraprofessional-implemented inquiry-based social studies instruction, presented within an embedded trial distribution schedule in general education classrooms. Study results suggest that this method of instruction had a positive effect on recall of information presented during history lessons for three junior high school students with intellectual disability. After repeated practice, students showed improvements in recall of information when using the structured inquiry-based instructional framework without direct instruction. Paraprofessionals and general education teachers generally found the intervention to be effective and acceptable. Implications for classroom practice and for future research are discussed.

328. Evaluating the Quality of Social Work Supervision in UK Children’s Services: Comparing Self-Report and Independent Observations.

Abstract

Understanding how different forms of supervision support good social work practice and improve outcomes for people who use services is nearly impossible without reliable and valid evaluative measures. Yet the question of how best to evaluate the quality of supervision in different contexts is a complicated and as-yet-unsolved challenge. In this study, we observed 12 social work supervisors in a simulated supervision session offering support and guidance to an actor playing the part of an inexperienced social worker facing a casework-related crisis. A team of researchers analyzed these sessions using a customized skills-based coding framework. In addition, 19 social workers completed a questionnaire about their supervision experiences as provided by the same 12 supervisors. According to the coding framework, the supervisors demonstrated relatively modest skill levels, and we found low correlations among different skills. In contrast, according to the questionnaire data, supervisors had relatively high skill levels, and we found high correlations among different skills. The findings imply that although self-report remains the simplest way to evaluate supervision quality, other approaches are possible and may provide a different perspective. However, developing a reliable independent measure of supervision quality remains a noteworthy challenge. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

this practice note report is based on my own experience of working in an inner london borough as a social worker and receiving feedback on my own social work practice and then moving into a position of social work practice coach where i was then giving feedback or coaching on practice. it explores the transition into this position and attempts to think about what makes good feedback and coaching in a social work setting in the UK and England and Wales in particular. This is an area which is relatively new in relation to coaching and feedback for experienced workers as this is usually something which happens early in a social worker's career, not once then have been practicing for a number of years.

Abstract

Abstract: There has been a substantial increase in ambulatory day‐case breast surgery in recent decades. This has been largely due to improvements in anesthetic procedures and pre‐emptive analgesia. Thoracic paravertebral blockade (TPVB) is increasing in popularity, though concerns over iatrogenic injury remain, especially pneumothorax. The purpose of this study was to conduct a review of the incidence of pneumothorax following TPVB prior to breast surgery. Data from of a consecutive series of patients having TPVB prior to breast surgery between 2009 and 2014 were reviewed. TPVB were used prior to unilateral and bilateral procedures. Medical records were retrospectively assessed for any complication including pleural punctures, pneumothorax, hypotension, bradycardia as well as signs and symptoms of local anesthetic toxicity. 1152 patients underwent a total of 1322 TPVB injections (982 unilateral and 340 bilateral). Clinically significant hypotension and/or bradycardia occurred in 26 patients (2.2%). Two patients (0.17%) had a suspected toxicity from the local anesthetic. Incidence of pleural puncture was 0.6% (n=9) and pneumothorax 0.26% (n=3). All pneumothoraxes were managed conservatively. There was no statistical difference in complication rates in those that had unilateral vs bilateral TPVB or those that had ultrasound guidance (P=.09). Good pre‐emptive analgesia is pertinent to prevent acute postoperative pain. TPVB have been shown to be successful in reducing rescue analgesia. This study shows TPVB is a well‐tolerated procedure, with a low associated incidence of iatrogenic injury and complication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

348. Essentials of Our Current Understanding: Abdominal Wall Blocks.

Author

Ki Jinn Chin, McDonnell, John G., Carvalho, Brendan, Sharkey, Aidan, Pawa, Amit, Gadsden, Jeffrey, and Chin, Ki Jinn

Abstract

Abdominal wall blocks rely on the spread of local anesthetic within musculofascial planes to anesthetize multiple small nerves or plexuses, rather than targeting specific nerve structures. Ultrasonography is primarily responsible for the widespread adoption of techniques including transversus abdominis plane and rectus sheath blocks, as well as the introduction of novel techniques such as quadratus lumborum and transversalis fascia blocks. These blocks are technically straightforward and relatively safe and reduce pain and opioid requirements in many clinical settings. The data supporting these outcomes, however, can be inconsistent because of heterogeneity of study design. The extent of sensory blockade is also somewhat variable, because it depends on the achieved spread of local anesthetic and the anatomical course of the nerves being targeted. The blocks mainly provide somatic analgesia and are best used as part of a multimodal analgesic regimen. This review summarizes the anatomical, sonographic, and technical aspects of the abdominal wall blocks in current use, examining the current evidence for the efficacy and safety of each.

Abstract

For Network Centric Warfare (NCW), robust information-sharing services are an enabler for command and control (C2) agility.3 In other words, as stated within the broader context of the Information Sharing Environment (ISE)4, the maximum value of information sharing occurs when the right workers share the right information with the right recipients to use at the right time [1]. As illustrated in figure 1, agile NCW capabilities (e.g. agile C2) and supporting information-sharing services are based on interdependent standards and reference models (graphics from [2-4]). For example, figure 1 highlights the relationship between bottom-line NCW Warfighter operations-support services (i.e. business-services models [graphics from 4]) versus the systems engineering support models (e.g. Joint C2 Architecture [graphic from 2], DoDAF/DM2 [graphic from 3]). From a DoD Architecture Framework (DoDAF/DM2)5 perspective, this is analogous to the DoDAF dichotomy of systems-versus-operational views. In terms of technology domains (e.g. systems engineering, business management), figure 1 highlights that families of models and standards are similarly developed and evolve within their respectively broader context (e.g. engineering versus business)., Presented at the 19th International Command & Control Research & Technology Symposium (ICCRTS) held 16-19 June, 2014 in Alexandria, VA.
