What knowledge does a special education teacher needs to know?
Hello, I am going into 9th grade and I've been thinking about doing a special education career, or possibly a counselor if I did a job in a school. I was in special education for most of my life until 8th grade. It was much different to be in a study hall than special ed. I did miss it but I was able to adjust and learn to ask for help whenever needed. I would love to help students who are struggling to become a greater version of theirselves. I would assume you would need to know the subjects very well in the grade as this kind if teacher, which I believe you get better at overtime as you are working on the district. I would also assume maybe some counseling skills for students who may be out of control. This is just some of what I learned as being a special ed student and I would like to fully understand the concept of being a special ed teacher.
