Recommended: Special education philosophy

Special education is ever changing, making it important for teachers to change with it. With the current paradigm shift to a family-centered relationship in mind, individual teachers must look at their ethical statements (Amatea, 2013). These statements must focus on areas with role obligations, such as, practitioner, colleague, leadership, community resource, advocate, and representative of the field of special education. By incorporating these elements into my ethical practices I will be able to help each student progress successfully throughout his/her elementary education. Howe and Miramontes (1992) state special education has a strong ethical mission with decisions that have lifelong ramifications for individuals. Decisions that are made

    Graziano’s article over the handling of his son’s disability in the classroom also involves issues that relate to teachers detecting signs of mental illness in the classrooms, how teachers identify a behavioral troubled child, and training school counselors on the Section 504 policy that are all happening in the world today. Realizing these issues can help parents with giving their child the best out of their education and can also help teachers understand the importance of their relationship with students. Everyone should have the opportunity for a brighter future and having a learning disability should not be the end of the road for any student.

    2005 Words  | 5 Pages

    The education system is arguably the most beneficial system in the world; however, it also contains many controversial practices. Proper funding, discrimination, and curriculum are just some of the problems in today’s education system. Everyone has a different opinion about what is best for our children and it is impossible to please everyone. As long as the educational system is in tact, then there will be confusion and debate within the system and its’ administrators. The only thing that can be done is attempting to make it so that everyone will benefit equally, but this is much more difficult than one would assume. I will focus on the aspect of discrimination on minorities within special education and more specifically the following questions: Does the special education system discriminate against minorities? If so, how? What can be done, if anything, to correct or improve this system?

  • My Personal Philosophy Of Special Education

    707 Words  | 2 Pages

    My personal philosophy on special education begins with this firm conviction, I believe all children are “uniquely and wonderfully” made, and regardless of their disability, posse unique gifts and talents. My philosophy of special education has developed, not from just being a general education teacher for many years, and a graduate student in special education, but also from being blessed to be a parent of a special needs child. I believe that every child deserves to have the best possible education, regardless of their disabilities or challenges. It is our responsibility, as special education teachers, to not focus on a student’s disabilities and challenges, but rather focus and develop their personal gifts and talents, in an environment

  • My Personal Philosophy of Special Education

    1036 Words  | 3 Pages

    My personal philosophy of special education drives not from teaching in the field, but from, observations, and personal experience, and the workshops I attended. I have had the opportunity to work with individuals with special needs in many different settings, all this help cultivate my knowledge in handling the needs of the special needed student. Special needs students have the ability to learn, to function, to grow, and most importantly to succeed. The difference comes into how they learn or how they need to be taught. There are as many beliefs about the "hows" as there are teachers and each of us forms our own philosophy through our experiences and research. As a student in a special education teachers’ program, learners with special needs includes all students in special education programs in the public school system or other appropriate settings. However, the students I would like to focus on in my career are students with learning disabilities and therefore when thinking about learners with special needs, my mind focuses on this population.

    In this article, Patrick Wall (2014) cited how teachers effortlessly tried to discipline Joseph—but it failed. However, this sparks a rather differences between the general educator to special educators. According to Anne M. Hocutt, she conducted some findings revealing the contrast between the two positions: General educators are far more concerns on whether or not they are capable of being discipline—education is often secondary. This lead to the stereotype among teachers that students with disabilities have “irrational behaviors” (1996). However, special educators on the other hand, are more patient, promote one-to-one instructions and have a better understanding with the students. Teachers have lower tolerance of special education students compare to students in general education (Hocutt 1996). Special educators are more likely to praise students, ignored any disruptive behaviors, provide more answers about themselves and the students (Hocutt 1996).
