Useful websites Brooklands Special School Learning conversations between support staff Brooklands Special School in Reigate has 75 children on roll and eight classes. Because of the diverse range of children’s needs, there is a high staff:pupil ratio and the school employs 31 support staff – both Special Needs Classroom Assistants and Teaching Assistants. As a highly successful school, in its latest Ofsted inspection the school had no key issues identified. What do they do? In 2002 the school identified a need for a supportive structure for these paraprofessionals, and introduced a mentoring scheme run by Teaching Assistants who mentor other Teaching Assistants and Special Needs Classroom Assistants. This provides a structure for learning conversations to take place. How do they do it? Seven Teaching Assistants received training from an external consultant from FourS to become mentors. A job description was drafted for the mentoring position, and from that point all staff new to the school have been assigned a mentor from within this group by the deputy head, Lynis Williams. Structured time for the mentoring pair to meet is made available on request but the aim is to meet every week for the first half of term after a new member of staff starts at the school. These meetings can take place during school time, although the mentors acknowledge that this isn’t always easy – Teaching Assistants, especially when they’re new to the school, can find it hard to prioritise their professional development over their time with the children. Sometimes meetings take place at break times or after school. Ground rules are established at the beginning for confidentiality between the mentor and mentee.

Information Literacy Blog ERIC Identifier: Publication Date: Author: Ripley, Suzanne Source: ERIC Clearinghouse on Teaching and Teacher Education Washington DC. Collaboration between General and Special Education Teachers. ERIC Digest. Historically, teachers have worked in isolationone teacher to a classroom. As children with disabilities entered the public schools in the 1970s, they were taught in separate classrooms with their own teachers. Over the past 25 years, these students have slowly moved into the flow of the regular classroom, thus the use of the term "mainstreaming." However, students were mainstreamed for selected subjects or parts of the day; they were not considered part of the typical class. Now the philosophy is to include all students in the same class, which has brought about teams of general education and special education teachers working collaboratively or cooperatively to combine their professional knowledge, perspectives, and skills. The biggest change for educators is in deciding to share the role that has traditionally been individual: to share the goals, decisions, classroom instruction, responsibility for students, assessment of student learning, problem solving, and classroom management. The teachers must begin to think of it as "our" class. This Digest explores the facets of this new collaboration between general and special education teachers.

Conditions of Teaching Children with Exceptional Learning Needs: The Bright Futures Report. ERIC Digest E613. THE BRIGHT FUTURES REPORT In 1998, CEC appointed a Presidential Commission on the Conditions of Special Education Teaching and Learning. Its charge was twofold: * Identify the obstacles and barriers that obstruct high quality teaching, and * Develop an action agenda to ensure that every student with exceptional learning needs is taught under optimal conditions for learning. Because children with exceptionalities are taught in a variety of settings by a variety of educational personnel, stakeholders for this study included both general and special educators. A pilot web survey was posted, focus groups were held across the country, a major literature review was completed, and a national survey was conducted to identify current conditions. VARIABLES THAT AFFECT A TEACHER'S ABILITY TO SUCCEED Several themes that influence the conditions of teaching were identified. A sense of collegiality and professionalism, an environment of open and frequent communication, a climate of support, the availability of resources, and a clarity of roles and responsibilities all contribute to a sense of satisfaction for a job well done.

In addition, teachers should be well prepared in their subject areas and understand the central concepts and tools of inquiry in these areas. The curricular areas required for all prospective teachers are reading, writing, communication skills, mathematics, social studies, the sciences, health/physical education, fine arts, and vocational/transition education. The emphasis in early childhood is on sensorimotor and social/emotional development, listening and speaking, and emerging reading, writing, and mathematical skills. In

Education and Teaching Special Education Special Education Jobs and Information This section provides information on special education jobs and resources including training requirements, types of jobs available in the field and associated organizations. What is Special Education ? Special Education is considered the instructional teaching and activities designed for students who are identified as requiring special learning needs. These types of students may include: Gifted Children Mentally Retarded Children Sensory handicapped children Neurological and orthopaedic handicapped Children Children with emotional and social behaviour issues Adults and Adolescences who have similar issues as above Special Education Teachers and their role Special education teachers work with people who require a variety of special needs. They are trained specifically to meet the needs of students (who include both adults and children) who require special attention. It is common that a majority of special education teachers tend to work with children with mild to moderate disabilities. By modifying the general education curriculum they are able to meet the child’s individual needs. However each scenario will vary as some children cannot cope with the general curriculum or modification of it, such as special education teachers working with mental retardation or autism. For the most part these teachers educate children with basic literacy and life skills.

Students are classified under one of the categories, and special education teachers are prepared to work with specific groups. Special education teachers work in a variety of settings. Some have their own classrooms and teach only special education students; others work as special education resource teachers and offer individualized help to students in general education classrooms; and others teach with general education teachers in classes composed of both general and special education students. Some teachers work in a resource room, where special education students work several hours a day, separate from their general education classroom. A significantly smaller proportion of special education teachers works in residential facilities or tutor students in homebound or hospital environments.

Parent Tips for Working With Teachers Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Education and Kids Related Articles How a Teacher Can Help the Child with ADD - Teaching Math Introduction Each day in the United States millions of children go off to school, all with different strengths and weaknesses, abilities and disabilities. Over five million of these children have been identified as having a specific disability such as autism, mental retardation, cerebral palsy, or a learning disability that necessitates some type of special instruction. In order to address the special needs of these children, schools rely upon people who have been specially trained to help them special education teachers. In the daily lives of children and youth with disabilities, and in their long-term achievements in learning, special educators play a vital and indispensable role. NICHCY and the National Clearinghouse for Professions in Special Education (NCPSE) would like general educators, parents, administrators, those interested in becoming special educators, and others to have an opportunity to learn more about special education teachers. This joint publication of NICHCY and NCPSE is intended to open a window into the world of the special educator and answer the questions: who are special educators, why have they chosen this profession, what kind of training do they have, what do they do each day, what do they enjoy about their jobs, and why do some of them leave special education? Also discussed in this publication are the people who support special educators, namely paraeducators, often known as "teacher's aides." The role of parents is addressed as well, and suggestions are provided for supporting the valuable work that special educators do on behalf of our children with special needs.

Parent Tips for Working With Teachers Forums Learning and Other Disabilities Education and Kids Related Articles How a Teacher Can Help the Child with ADD - Teaching Math What do Special Education Teachers Do? Direct Teaching One of the primary responsibilities of the special education teacher is to provide instruction and adapt and develop materials to match the learning styles, strengths, and special needs of each of their students. Most special education teachers spend close to the majority of their classroom time actually teaching their students (Allinder, 1994). This does not include the time they spend beyond the regular school day preparing lesson plans, grading papers, and meeting with other professionals. The methods they use, and the learning goals they develop, will be determined by the students' abilities, age, setting, and many other variables. It has been said that in general education the school system dictates the curriculum, but in special education, the child's individual needs dictate the curriculum (Lieberman, 1985). For example, dressing, eating, and toileting could be a typical part of the curriculum for many students with severe disabilities but are not normally taught in general education classrooms. Similarly, a child who has a hearing impairment may receive special training in sign language, while a child who is blind may need specific instruction in braille. These would obviously not be a part of the typical general education curriculum.
