What's so 'special' about Special Education?

Now that we have completed the first part of our course, I'd like to ask...are you overwhelmed yet? We spent the last four weeks discussing special education and strategies for our classrooms, but I noticed that some of your strategies are just good practices in general. I can't wait to read the research papers that you are writing because I think that most of you will reveal your true approach to accomodating a specific case. I'd like you to do two things (besides the reading) while we are on break:

1. Upload any presentation materials - including powerpoints and handouts.
2. Post a mini-reflection about your learning/thoughts/assumptions about 'special education'.

ENJOY the break!
