Title: Guiding IEP Teams on Meeting the Least Restrictive Environment Mandate
Year: 2014
Journal Info: Intervention in School and Clinic Vol. 50, Issue 1 (45-50)

Summary: In “Guiding IEP Teams on Meeting the Least Restrictive Environment Mandate,” the
authors discuss the definition of a Least Restrictive Environment and outline different ways that
individualized environment program teams can help meet under an LRE mandate that requires
LRE’s. First, the authors discuss the two ideologies behind a proper LRE, the first being having
kids in general education environments and the second being having kids in any environment
that the individual needs to excel. Next, they discuss ways IEP teams can comply with the new
mandate. The first strategy is to know previous law cases and understand the precedent, the
second is to using guiding questions to understand the needs of the individual, the third is to
start with a general education setting, and the fourth is to treat special education as an
individualized service. While there is no overarching consensus of how to approach LRE’s, the
authors recommend these strategies as a starting point.

Title: The Anthropology of Performance
Year: 1987
Journal Info: En Victor Turner (1-36)
URL: http://erikapaterson08.pbworks.com/f/Antrophology%20of%20performance(2).pdf
Summary: In “The Anthropology of Performance,” Victor Turner discusses his popular theory of
performance and how it relates to culture, gender, and rites of passage. The author begins by
outlining theorists before him who have worked on similar theories such as Mary Douglas,
Michel Benamou, and Charles Caramello. He discusses social dramas and the way they affect
performance in culture. Through socially constructed performances such as rites of passage,
cultures are able to face the problems they are subject to. Further, Turner talks about the
difference between physical and linguistic performance through the stages of language-
behavior. Lastly, he says that meaning is directly connected to the culture in which it exists.
