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.
In order to become a special education teacher, individuals must have at least a bachelorâs degree and a state license in order to serve students in a public school setting. Graduates of a bachelorâs degree program can pursue an advanced degree to explore research opportunities or continue to teach in a classroom setting but have access to more career opportunities.
