In order to meet the needs of differentiated learners, educators must be able to present information in a variety of ways because all students learn differently. If a teacher is not able to differentiate instruction, fewer students are benefiting. Teachers must know and understand each student individually, and plan accordingly.

5/20 Assignment
I have worked multiple times within a special education classroom. Most of this is because of my mom because she is a high school special education teacher in Malcolm. She is also the reason I am an elementary/special education double major. I've had the pleasure of working with many of her high school students when I go visit her classroom. One time, I even went to the Malcolm Elementary School and I was able to work with those students, as well. Special education in America is increasingly helping students with a variety of disabilities. More and more students are able to get the help they need within the classroom without having to be separated from their peers. Even students that are severely disabled are able to stay within the classroom with the help and flexibility of the regular ed. teacher.

Katie, I think that it is awesome that you have your mom as a role-model and that you are following in her footsteps to be a special education teacher. I agree wit you that Special Education is increasing in the U.S. In elementary school, the differentiated students were always taken into a different classroom for the majority of the day and now they are able to stay in the class with everyone else for most of if not all of the day.
ReplyDeleteI think that it is very important that differentiated learners and the rest of the students are in the same classroom learning together.
