Teaching Students with Special Needs
What does Special Education mean?
Do you know anyone who has special
needs? What are they like? How might
they experience school differently than
mainstream students?
How is special education different from other kinds of education?
1) Working with students with special needs requires patience and empathy.
2) The pace of the school day isn’t as important in special education classes.
3) The relationship between teacher and student is different. Learning basic skills like calculating or writing is less important than helping them to live an independent life.
Blindfold Challenge1. Divide the class into Eins (1) and Zwei (2).2. In your native language, Eins teach your
