What type of thinker are you as a teacher of special-needs children? What modalities do you have in your toolbox of educational theory?

Answer 1

The special education teacher is often under-appreciated by some parents; a few other teachers are not cognizant of numerous rules and paperwork in evaluating students, nor do many teachers who teach regular classes and can rely (on one-size fits) on typical students and their needs, realize what these special education teachers must have in their tool boxes: Many talented teachers must be adaptive to each individual's needs are whether or not the student lies on what spectrum on the scale of autism or what learning disability he/she has, or whether the child has a language barrier, or is from a different culture, or suffers from mental-health problems. Moreover, this teacher must be resource to create limited materials to teach low-income communities that lack funds to pay for special education, art, music, and creative enrichment programs. A teacher must face principals, pundits, and legal issues, especially in rural or political sensitive states where bools are banned, teachers are labeled as communists, socialist, or woke..

creative preparation and supplies that and the community never understands. Sadly, there are too many details to list. What about the specific HIPPA laws an forms that must be filled out, or the IEP's, listing the policy and rules that be followed and the objectives and goals that must be documented. The teacher must figure out psychological tricks to de-escalate an emotional thunderstorm from emotionally students that are abused at home. The parents can act-out with wrath at the name-calling situation. Thus, you have the blame game and the crab-bucket scenes---bad gossip, judgmental at best or swearing outbursts.
