Unit 6 Annotated Bibliography Assignment
Thesis statement: Despite assertions that bullying is just kids being kids, the behavior actually
comes from not understanding differences, disabilities, and specialness – a problem parents,
educators, and others who work with children can use fiction to solve.
Constantinescu, C. & Samuels, C. A. (2016, September 6). Studies flag potential downside to
inclusion. Education Week. www.edweek.org.
Constantinescu and Samuels review studies that suggest inclusion of special education
students with typical peers can be problematic, particularly for younger children. In fact, several
studies indicated that typical children in kindergarten and first grade who have special needs
peers in their classes are more likely to have behavior issues, problems with social skills, and
lower scores in reading and math (2016). The article describes the experience of one education
teacher who expressed concern that inclusion of special needs students in the classroom
negatively influences the behavior of other students by precipitating and increasing incidents of
verbal and/or physical conflict between the students (Constantinescu & Samuels, 2016).
Education Week has been publishing since 1981, and they cover different angles on an
array of education-related issues. The authors have published other articles in Education Week
and elsewhere. The topics are all about education, but not all are focused on inclusion or special
needs students, which helped me conclude that they do not have a biased agenda. Within the
article, they cite research studies to support their ideas, and this article was published in 2016,
making it recent.
This article could be seen as a challenge to my argument. Clearly, the described situation
is unacceptable, but inclusion is not the problem; it is a lack of strategies and support to teach all
Commented [S.2]: Don’t forget to include your
revised thesis statement!
Commented [S.3]: Place the citation (using the
hanging indent) before the annotation.
Commented [S.4]: The annotations need to
include a summary of the main idea of the source
(be sure to remember an in-text citation!), an
evaluation of that source’s credibility using the
criteria covered in units 5 and 6, and a reflection
on the source’s value to your project. Does it
support your thesis or offer a challenge or
misconception that you will need to rebut?
Commented [S.5]: Note that the annotation
clarifies that this source poses a challenge to the
student’s thesis.

students appropriate responses to conflict, which will help them to develop empathy and
understanding of differences.
National Center for Education Statistics (NCES). (2018, April). Children and youth with
disabilities. http://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_cgg.asp
This website has a helpful graphic from the U. S Department of Education that shows the
percent of students, classified by disability type, who had accommodations due to disabilities
during the 2015-2016 school year.
Figure 1
U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Individuals with
Disabilities Act (IDEA) database
As the graph shows, learning disabilities, which could include issues like dyslexia, are 34% of
those receiving special education services. Of the 6.7 million students (14% of the overall
enrollment in public schools) receiving special education services in this year, 9% had autism
and 6% had an “intellectual disability,” according to the U. S. Department of Education’s data (as

cited in NCES, 2018). In addition to this graph, the site has a graphic about the amount of time
that these children spend in general education classes:
Figure 2
U.S. Department of Education, Office of Special Education Programs, Individuals with
Disabilities Act (IDEA) database
As this graph indicates, a majority of children with special needs spend 80% of more of their
time in a general education classroom, a clear reason that typical children in those classrooms
need to better understand disabilities (as cited in NCES, 2018).
I believe the National Center for Education Statistics website is a credible place to find
statistics; the page was last updated in April 2018, and according to their home page, this center
is “the primary federal entity for collecting and analyzing data related to education,” and it is
housed within the U. S. Department of Education (NCES, “About Us,” n.d.).

Stopbullying.gov. (n.d.). Bullying and children and youth with disabilities and special health
needs. https://www.stopbullying.gov/at-risk/groups/special-needs/index.html
This non-profit has developed numerous resources on its website to address the problem
of bullying and kids. The page titled “Bullying and Youth with Disabilities and Special Needs”
describes why children with special needs are more apt to be bullied, details how to create safer
environments for these children in a school setting, notes the role of federal Civil Rights
disabilities laws in this issue, and offers additional resources that could be helpful for parents,
such as a tip sheet on special health needs (StopBullying, n.d.)
On their “About Us” page, the organization notes that it draws information from various
government agencies and that it has an Editorial Board to review content that draws from people
in government agencies like the Department of Education, the Centers for Disease Control, and
the Department of Justice; furthermore, the site is maintained by the U.S. Department of Health
and Human Services (Stopbullying.gov, n.d.). This site has a wealth of resources that will help
me to develop my point that special needs children need special protection from bullying.
Walsh, M. (2015). Your child with special needs is being bullied: What can you do? The
Exceptional Parent (Online), 45(9), 42-43.
Walsh examines the particular challenges that special needs children face when being
bullied and some reasons that they may be more likely to be targets of bullying. In particular, she
notes that typical children just may not understand behaviors and cognitive challenges that come
with disabilities like autism (Walsh, 2015). She also notes an important problem that can arise for
special needs children who are bullying victims—regression. This is when a child loses skills that
he or she had previously developed, and this can be a particular problem in the classroom since
these children already struggle to achieve academic success.

I found this article in the Purdue Global Library, which gives me confidence in its
reliability, but I also base my evaluation on the fact that this was published in 2015 and written
by a lawyer who specializes in advocating for children with disabilities. The publication has also
been around for 45 years as of 2015. This article will help me to support my claim that education
is crucial for addressing bullying of special needs children as well as why this is so important in
a classroom setting—to address regression.

is not required for the assignment, but it is useful
to practice! Also, this includes additional sources
that were used for the credibility evaluation
component of the annotation.
Remember key rules about formatting the
references page, such as using the hanging indent,
alphabetizing entries, and ensuring that any
sources listed here are cited in-text as well. For
more details on reference page formatting and
citations, see Academic Writer and review the
APA resources in Units 5 and 6.
