Special Ed Teachers?

Tell me about your job, specifically if you went from general ed to special ed.  I am thinking of making the switch after this school year.  My administration is incredibly supportive, arranging for me to shadow and "sub" occassionally after our state testing this spring.  But, I am wondering what the nity gritty is really like.  I know every state/district and then school is different, and every year within a school can be different based on the child's needs, etc., but I'd love some feedback :)

I am scheduled to take the SpEd praxis this spring, that's all our state requires for certification, since I already have my master's and administration/supervision certifications.

Re: Special Ed Teachers?

  • It would be within the school I'm currently in.  Right now, they are providing support in the classroom or doing small pull out groups in a smaller classroom.  It would all depend on the caseload.  We have a high military population at my school (65%) so it's a pretty transiant group, so who knows next year.
