Philosphy of Special Education :: essays research papers

Philosophy of Special EducationI have known that I have wanted to become a special development teacher for almost three years. Over those three years I did lots of reach on experience with special education schoolchilds. This past semester though I learned more in a semester about special education than I have in the past two and half years. Intro to Exceptional has taught me a lot of good information about laws, rules, and regulations of special education. I recollect that inclusion is necessary for a child to prosper in society. I think that it is a great learning 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 setting would not benefit them I believe they should be set in a setting where learning is most beneficial. Inclusion is a very good thing when it is used right where both the special edu cation 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 universe a teacher?s assistant 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. bingle 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.
