Activity 1: (What do you think?)

How will you define “Special Education” in your own words?


It is a form of learning provided to students with exceptional needs, such as students with
learning disabilities or mental challenges. An example of special education is the type of reading
help that is provided to a student who is dyslexic.

Activity 2:

In your own understanding, how will you interpret the given quote above?
Teaching students with special needs is the hardest job in the world. A special education
teacher is someone who works with children and youths who have a variety of disabilities.
Children with special needs require unique instruction by specially trained professionals to help
them achieve their highest potential and strive to progress beyond their limitations. Special
education teachers are patient, understanding educators dedicated to giving each individual
student the tools and guidance needed to help them maximize success.

Explain
Read the discussion on book on pages (11-23).
