GUEST: Hello, I'm Dr. Jane Smith, a seasoned special education professional and instructor for this course. I'm passionate about empowering educators and advocates with legal knowledge. HOST: That's fantastic! So, tell us, what inspired you to create this Graduate Certificate in Special Education Laws? GUEST: I noticed a gap in special education professionals' understanding of the legal landscape. I wanted to create a program that equips them with the skills to navigate complex laws like IDEA and FERPA. HOST: Speaking of which, how does understanding special education laws benefit educators and advocates in their day-to-day roles? GUEST: Having a solid grasp of these laws helps professionals ensure they're providing appropriate services, protecting students' rights, and avoiding potential legal issues. HOST: That makes a lot of sense. What current trends or challenges are you seeing in special education laws that this course addresses? GUEST: The rise of remote learning has led to increased focus on student data privacy, which is covered in FERPA. Our course helps professionals understand and comply with these evolving regulations. HOST: That's an essential skill in today's digital world. Now, how does this course prepare students for future developments in special education laws? GUEST: We teach students to stay informed about changes in legislation and regulations, encouraging a lifelong learning approach to special education laws.
