Special Education

Special education teachers may work in a public or private special school either with groups of students or on an individual basis. There are many rehabilitation centers where one can find employment. Yet, another group of special education teachers tutor home bound or hospitalized students or teach in other residential facilities. Special education teachers after years of experience in the field can progress to administrative or supervisory positions. Earning advanced degrees qualifies teachers to instruct at colleges teaching special education programs. Experienced special education teachers are appointed to mentor less experienced teachers.

Special Education teachers work quite differently from normal teachers. Special Education teachers give education to the students with mild or moderate disabilities and this becomes a responsibility for teachers to stand them on their own. They have to take care of each student personally and they try to find the field in which they are interested. They try to communicate with them so that they can know the feelings of these students. These students are not treated as normal students.
Teachers have to develop basis lessons of life, without interacting much with these students. So the teachers have to know how they react to the questions and how they answer, how they gain the topic and in which direction they are thinking about the topics.
