Although we did quickly cover special education in a past blog post, I think it is something that was left out. Even though most people in the class are not special education majors, I think that is important for all teachers to understand the work and struggles that go along with special education. I also think that it is important because as a teacher, you may be put in an inclusion class (where special needs children are mixed in with the regular classroom) and you will need to know how to handle it.
