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 other words, the special education teacher may be described as a strategist, taking the standard lesson and teaching it in a different way so that the student with special needs can access the learning requirements, along with other students in the classroom. Planning is essential in the co-teaching classroom.
