I searched through a lot of Youtube videos looking for one that addresses self-advocacy in all students, and yet my journey ended with videos only addressing self-advocacy in people with disabilities. I found one video in particular that defined self-advocacy as a civil rights movement for people with disabilities, but failed to mention that it is also just as effective with people lacking a disability. This link addresses that self-advocacy isn't just a term used for people with disabilities, but also for young children and the like: http://www.education.com/magazine/article/charge-advocacy-classroom/. This video very much shows what self-advocacy can do for those with disabilities; it's a good way to get the word out that people can advocate for themselves and it is extremely important for them that they learn how.
The world views self-advocation as a way to speak up for yourself when something is needed. Many students do not because their fear of judgement. In another video, a professor explains his way of promoting self-advocation by creating an environment where nothing said is able to be bashed on (for lack of a better word): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCAf1HEgOw8.
As a helpful note, if you check the course website under "helpful links," the second blogger tutorial video addresses how to embed video in your blog posts. I'm interested in your discussion so far, but refer back to my comment on your research question for some ideas about how to extend it.
ReplyDeleteHey Garrett, I found this link that speaks specifically about non special needs students, thought it might be helpful. http://www.education.com/magazine/article/charge-advocacy-classroom/
