The first of five modules is designed to provide teacher educators and preservice teachers with an understanding of the content and implications of P.L. 94-142 (the Education for All Handicapped Children Act) as they relate to the education of black and other minority group handicapped children. The module is designed to be presented in three 50 minute classes covering the right to education movement for the handicapped, the major components of the law relative to black and other minority handicapped students, and the individualized education plan (IEP) process with emphasis on the collaborative and supportive interaction among professionals and minority parents. Following an initial section addressing the presession objectives and organization are separate sections for each class session. Provided for each class are instructional plans, handouts/transparencies list, lecture materials, and lists of references and resources. Pre- and postassessment tests, a role play activity, and a glossary are also included, along with sample handouts and transparency masters. (SB)
