2. What is a Special Education Teacher?

If you are considering teaching, especially working as a special education teacher, you should know more about the job itself. A special education teacher works with students with a variety of disabilities. These can range from minor learning disabilities to severe mental retardation. Most special education teachers will work with mildly to moderately disabled students, modifying the school's curriculum to meet their educational needs.

Which students qualify for special education services? Students with significant vision or hearing impediment may use the services of a special education teacher. Speech and language difficulties, emotional difficulties, multiple disabilities, orthopedic challenges and brain injury may all qualify a child for special education services. A special education teacher may also work with severely disabled students, teaching basic life skills. You will also make certain that children receive the services to which they are legally entitled, working closely with both parents and school administrators.

As a special education teacher, you will provide individualized instruction, teach problem solving skills, work with children on emotional and social skills and more. Special education teachers can make a big difference in each child's life, providing them with the tools that they need to succeed in school and in life. Working as a special education teacher is one of the most rewarding jobs in education today, and one of the fastest growing.

3. Becoming a Special Education Teacher

All states require that special education teachers be appropriately licensed. Licensing requires a Bachelor's degree in special education from an approved university program in special education. Some states require a Master's degree in special education, or offer additional incentives to the special education teacher who pursues further education in his or her field.

Each state has its own rules regarding teacher certification, and some may even offer an alternate path to becoming a special education teacher. Typically, a special education teacher spends somewhat longer on coursework than a teacher with a different specialty; however, this is not always true. Some states license special education teachers in regard to certain disabilities, so a teacher may have qualifications for working with autistic children, or for managing the special education needs of very young children.

During your training to become a special education teacher, you will learn about educational psychology, legal issues associated with special education, child development, and special strategies for teaching disabled students. Following your coursework, you will spend a year working in a classroom setting student teaching under an experienced teacher. This real world experience will help to prepare you for your career as a special education teacher.

4. What You Need to Know about Special Education

If you are considering a career as a special education teacher, there are a few things you should keep in mind. Working as a teacher, whether you are teaching children with disabilities or not, is often a time consuming and emotionally draining job. It is, however, just as rewarding as it is challenging. As a special education teacher, you may find that your job involves some issues that are not typical within the mainstream classroom.

Some students will simply require individualized attention and curriculum development. For these students, you may work with their regular classroom teacher on appropriate accommodations for their disabilities, as defined in the child's Individualized Education Plan or IEP. Other students may work exclusively with a special education teacher; however, many schools opt to integrate students with disabilities into the mainstream classrooms in the school as much as possible.

As a special education teacher, you may work with students on social and emotional issues more than a teacher with a different specialty. You will likely be part of a special education team at your school, integrating a variety of therapies for the children you teach, and you will, of course, work closely with each parent to ensure that you are meeting their child's individual needs.
