Special Education- prompt 3

Meeting the needs of students with disabilities is a challenging, yet rewarding job. As a special education teacher, it is imperative that I am in constant communication with the lead teachers. I am fortunate to work a school that fosters both communication and collaboration between teachers. In addition to having a section of the weekly team meeting to discuss our special education students, I am able to spend some time in each classroom observing and helping as needed. I can then go back to the teachers and offer suggestions and my help in creating modifications. We also offer tutorials at the beginning of each school day. This takes place the half hour before the official start of the school day, and is a great opportunity for the students (especially those with special needs) to get any additional help they needed on homework the night before, or just to get organized for the day.
