REFLECTION THOUGHTS
Being able to see what I have learned about special education in action has been a
great learning experience for me. I saw just how important specific developmental/academic
skills are for success in school and in life for the exceptional learner, and why it is vital to
work towards those goals with dedicated professional services. I had an “aha” moment
when Mrs. Rittel shared with me that she does not correct AH on his handwriting during
literacy time because she wants him to be able to focus on phonology. This taught me to
keep in mind an important concept: sometimes exceptional students need to be given a little
space from being corrected in order to fully engage in the material.
I saw how AH has a desire to learn and grow, but must work past learning/motor
y
difficulties to do so. As a teacher I would be challenged trying to meets the needs of all m
students. There are advanced, below basic, and exceptional students all in one class, so it
requires a large amount of multi-tasking and creativity to meet each of their needs
effectively.
I learned today and yesterday just how helpful technology can be to accomplish this,
as applications and computer programs can automatically differentiate based on
correct/incorrect answers. I think I would enjoy seeing the children make progress and grow,
and have a smile on their face when they accomplish something new. I would feel honored
and joyful knowing I was a part of their development and growth.
