As a future educator, I will look at my class as a complete unit and not separate the children that have disabilities. I will concentrate on the needs of all my students and plan
(qtd in Long). Those going into teaching now go into this profession knowing they will most likely have to work multiple jobs if they do not have a partner that is able to support them. This is causing a lack of teachers which in turn is causing them to be spread too thin and way overworked which is horrible. This relates to my life as someone studying special education currently. Reading this text gave me more insight into what it is really like for
This book has shown me to let go of biases I may hold, because they will only hold me back as a teacher. In doing so the only people that would suffer is my students. The third theme presented was corruption. Allocation of money will affect me as a future teacher.
I have personally struggled with a learning disability growing up and I rarely understood what was being taught because no one ever took the time to explain it to me in a way I could understand. Being a teacher I plan on teaching in multiple ways at a time so that my students can hopefully get a better understanding of the subject that is being taught. I plan on doing hands-on activities, using diagrams, word problems, and whatever is necessary for my students to have the best learning experience they possibly

In “Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes”, Edith Hamilton makes a good assertion when describing how myths were like an early science for the Greeks. Mythology was the Greeks first attempt in trying to explain what they saw around them. Just like a child, the imagination of a human being does not use logic or reasoning for justifying something. Whilst we mature, we begin to question everything: Why?
And you must be mentally ready that not every day is going to be a good day in the classroom.” This had me realizing that teachers, put in so much of their time for their students and sometimes are not appreciated and given the credit they deserve. Besides the negative parts that can possibly occur she also explained how there are days where everything is going smoothly and there is so much cooperation and participation going on in class. With that being said I believe that although this career seems easy, teachers need to be mentally and emotionally prepared for each and every day in the
I started working with the special education students for part of my day at school. I would help the students with their homework or I would sit in class with them. After a short period of time I fell in love. I knew I wanted to change my major and begin teaching students who have special needs. Another reason that made me want to teach special education is because my brother is autistic.
Prior to the mid-1970s, students with disabilities of any kind (mental health problems included) were inadequately served or overtly excluded from public education (Martin, Martin, & Terman, 1996). Students with severe physical or emotional disabilities were simply not allowed to attend school. In 1970, PL 91 -230, or the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA), was passed marking the first law that exclusively addressed students with disabilities. Under the EHA, grants were offered to institutions to develop programs to train teachers who could teach students with disabilities (Martin, Martin, & Terman, 1996).

I have learned that being their cheerleader and giving them words of encouragement, are the best ways to keep them going. Thesis: To master the job of a Special Education teacher, it is important to have the right skillset. Preview: Today I will go through different teaching styles, how to best communicate, and the importance of patience as a special education teacher.
A Philosophy of Special Education The profession of teaching can be challenging at times. It is a constant juggling act of ongoing responsibilities; including classroom management, engagement, and curriculum. Add in the prospect of teaching multiple students with special needs and it is downright overwhelming.
Classroom Observation Reflection Abrar Hilal University of Oklahoma Tuesday, February 12 Classroom Observation Reflection Special Education Classroom Report The special education classroom that I observed, included the main teacher, two teacher assistants, and ten students with Developmental Delays. The main teacher uses technology to aid the students to learn easy and faster. A smart board is present in the classroom, but the teacher doesn 't use it often as she prefers to use her own handouts and her specially created activities. I think this is effective as she can modify activities better and so that the students benefit from that personalized touch.
According to Ripley, S. (1998), traditionally, special education teachers worked with students in a self-contained environment as well as the general education teachers worked in a room alone. However, overtime, learning disabled students more and more are being included in regular education classes. Therefore, the need for collaboration between the regular education teacher and the special education teacher continues to grow. Today, many schools are setting up cooperative teaching programs that team a special education teacher with a team of regular education teachers in order to reach all students and have them all benefit from the same lesson plans. The special added exception is that the learning-disabled students have the extra benefit of having someone who specializes in
