Philosphy of Special Education :: essays research papers

Philosophy of Special EducationI have known that I have wanted to become a special discipline teacher for almost three years. Over those three years I did lots of hands on experience with special education students. This past semester though I come acrossed more in a semester about special education than I have in the past both and half years. Intro to Exceptional has taught me a lot of good information about laws, rules, and regulations of special education. I believe that inclusion is necessary for a kid to prosper in society. I have in mind that it is a great erudition experience for both the special education student and their peers in the class. I think they both can learn a lot from each other. I also believe though if the student has a severe enough problem where learning in a regular fastenting would not benefit them I believe they should be placed in a setting where learning is most beneficial. Inclusion is a very good thing when it is used right where both t he special education student and their peers can both learn from each other and still not be distracted from their studies.Being in Intro to Exceptional this semester and being a teacher?s friend was a great experience. This class really helped me understand the students better. For example, in class we talked about the reward system with students. One student in my class had a hard time staying focused and getting his homework done. He always worked with me so I set up a deal with the teacher and if he finished his workbook by the time I was done with TA then he and I could have a game day. After that reward was set he did great.
