The role of a special education teacher is to understand the strengths and weaknesses of
each child. It is our job to discover each student’s potential and incorporate individual learning
styles into the classroom. All students learn differently, and I plan to use various techniques
individualized for each unique student while emphasizing their unique skills.
environment not only enhances the learning for an exceptional individual, but for all individuals.
With inclusion in the classroom, we can foster relationships among peers, tolerance and promote
self-esteem. Positive self-esteem is essential in measuring student success. With this ever-
