Working With Children With Special Needs In 4-HAnd FFA: Tips For Success

摘要

Iwill never forget the first time I realized how many students in my program had special needs. I had been teaching for weeks in my first teaching position, I was already stressed out and struggling to be successful with lesson planning and meeting the requirements of my school system. One afternoon, a case manager stopped by during my planning period and presented me with a stack of Individual Education Plans (IEPs). These documents summarized the needs and the recommended accommodations of severalstudents in my classroom. I was shocked by how many there were, I had no idea! Trying to figure out how to adequately address these needs with limited time and resources was overwhelming and frustrating. All I could think of was "how in the world am I supposed to effectively work with such a diverse group of learners?"
