4/10 Capstone Project - Issue #2 - Isolation + Minimum Support
From knowledge, we usually know that one teacher is needed to teach a full class and they would have the option to teach the class with or without a substitute. For special educators, they would be considered lucky to have an additional assistant. In the special educator's field, the majority of these educators are mainly one person working a class of SWD without any contribution from upper management. This blog post will go over the isolation these educators are going through.
Imagine you're looking over a daycare or regular classroom for five to ten minutes for a teacher who needed a short break. You'll realize in that amount of time a lot of kids are active by running around and looks to be uncontrollable. This may already look difficult to deal with for a regular person. For a special educator, it's a lot worse. Special educators have to not only deal with a class of students with disabilities for an entire school day, but this creates a lot of stress and emotion for them.
Special Educators would often rely on outside help to help them inside of the classrooms such as the internet to gather new skills or facilitate teachers use of EBP. Education Based Practice is a way for educators to improve their students. However, these methods are not effective towards everyone and would require alternative practices to guide them. According to an article, I've recently read that most special educators focus on teaching students their social and emotional skills rather than academic skills. This fact to me sounds more suitable because in special education I was taught more orally than academically and I see this method is becoming more beneficial for students with disabilities. If special educators didn't go with oral methods than probably a lot of students wouldn't progress and creates a bigger frustration for the parents and teacher.
