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.
It's not just politically correct: Special-needs students really do have special needs. One of them is a Special Education Teacher. Another is a Special Education Assistant, who assists that Teacher in the education of physically and mentally disabled students. As a Special Education Assistant, you may work in public schools or private schools. You may work in schools that teach all students, or in those that specialize in special-needs education. You may work at elementary schools, middle schools, or high schools.
