I agree that some days it feels like we are teaching an all special needs class. I believe we all have flaws to works on and special gifts to share. There are so many people who are not diagnosed and sometimes we assume a student is special needs but they may not be. It is important to teach in multiple ways and to have a meaningful lesson plan for each student. In the reading it say's how some teachers don't know enough about disabilities to help children. I agree with this to a point. I have been working as an E.A in a school division for years and it is not the teachers fault, the education degree only has one inclusion course I believe. that's not enough education to learn about inclusion. Also, experience really helps. They may have some practicum experience. However, learning about different disabilities and knowing how to meet different needs takes time. This comes with experience and education. I agree with the readings that teaching and solving all problems for all children and sometimes staff can be over whelming. However, from experience and observing teachers do need to be open to solving many problems, meeting every students needs and making sure that each each child is learning to their abilities. I agree that each child should be included in the schools and class rooms, despite their disabilities. this is why we have educational assistants and other staff in schools to help out the teachers and students. However, this being said I have seen some students who for example can not control spitting, pushing, biting, hurting others and so an additional room is a good idea for these students or extra help.
I was very intrigued by the piece of writing "So You Want to be a Teacher", for two reasons; 1. It helped me understand what this Education course was going to teach us and 2. It opened my eyes to how much the role of being an educator is advancing and adapting as society does.
Our society is becoming aware that not all children learn equally. Some children learn better by hearing a lecture and taking notes, others, are visual learners, others are gifted students, others may have a disability, while others, learn best with a one-on-one technique, etc. These different learning styles and different gifts need to be addressed so that all children receive an equal shot at succeeding. Reading the piece "So You Want to be a Teacher" showed me that I will learn all of these different teaching techniques which will help me understand how to interact with all of these different children, through taking this course. This makes me very happy and proud to be in the Education Program. -Aviva Sarah Kremer
