Special school

Reason for choosing the Article The reason why I chose this article is because I was interested in how Brazil runs its school system. I enjoy learning about different countries especially when they are so vibrant. I don’t plan on staying in Texas for ever so if I move to another country like Brazil I will already be aware of how the school systems are ran. No just Brazil but a variety of different counties are important to learn about because you never know where your students originate from.…

Music in Special Education Music education is one of the most important aspects in the grand arena that is education. Yet, it is one of the most neglected.

This statement is one that I have seen in action for many friends and students over the last few years. As I am planning to teach within the early childhood education setting, this is something that should be the focus for all young students with special needs. Through a program such as early childhood…

John’s mindset and functionality. Listening to his stories about his home and family told me a little bit about how the world looks, from his perspective in relation to the role he plays within his family. Also, reading his IEP and talking to the special education teacher who works with him on his learning interventions, really helped me to understand what we currently know about John’s intellectual capabilities and big picture learning and growth. I know that this rich experience will give me a…

started out like any other classroom day, however the day would quickly turned. During my observation on September 25, I learned how crucial it is for a special education teacher to be a quick problem solver. Though the class size seems small, each student has a variety of personal needs. These needs must me met and addressed to the best of the special education teacher’s ability, and the teacher must be able to justify it. Justifying can be challenging, whether it is in an IEP, a meeting, or…

One of U.S. national trends is adopting a new method for deciding eligibility for special education: Response-to-intervention method (RTI). This model engenders a modification of teaching techniques, before referring the student to special services, and the student’s response to the intervention that will determine if the child will receive special education or not (Hallahan, Kauffman & Pullen, 2015). Though, the process could be long and delay the proper allocation of the students when they are…

Special Education was designed to instruct and meet the educational, social, emotional, and vocational needs of students with disabilities (“Special”). Special Education teachers identify, locate, and evaluate children labeled with disabilities, create IEP’s for each child, educate them within “least restrictive environments”, provide education for private schools and are certified teachers (“The History”). “Special Education refers to to a more range of services that can be provided in…
