SHERMAN, Texas -- Sherman's Midway Mall once thrived during the holiday season with shoppers filling the building. Once U.S. Highway 75 was built, several stores moved out of the mall and into Sherman Town Center. Now, years later many of the stores are still vacant.
Special education teachers typically work in elementary or secondary schools with students with physical or mental disabilities. Teachers teach students course curriculum at each studentâs pace and help students develop basic life skills so they can function independently beyond the classroom.
For example, the procedures and teaching methods used to attend to one special student are different from methodology implemented on another student. The focus of special education is to address the studentsâ individual needs and differences. To do that, it may require various teaching methods, learning materials and support equipment. Thus, instead of using the typical classroom set up, special education teachers use the resource room set up.
