Special Education is an ongoing issue within our nation's school system. There are many arguments as to what is best for providing to students who have varying needs and abilities in classroom instruction. Some believe that an isolated special education classroom is the best way for students with disabilities to learn whereas other believe that including students in general education classrooms as much as possible is what is truly best for the student as a whole.
Since there is no set in stone list of characteristics that can be checked off to decide what is best for students, it is important for instructors to work with all students at an individual level in order to best find what their needs are within the instructional setting. Some students may need something as simple as a few extra minutes to take a test, whereas other students may need to completely remove themself from the classroom during a particular portion of the day to receive helpful instruction that is used to improve their knowledge over the subject they struggle with.
As a future educator, I hope that when I enter the classroom I am accompanied by a group of smiling faces who may not have the same abilities in learning, but all of what it takes to be the best that can be day in and day out.
