Gives good information on how to go about becoming a special education teacher and getting your license!

All states require teachers in public schools to be licensed. A license is frequently referred to as a certification. Those who teach in private schools are not required to be licensed.

Requirements for certification vary by state. However, all states require at least a bachelor’s degree. They also require completing a teacher preparation program and supervised experience in teaching, which is typically gained through student teaching. Some states require a minimum grade point average.

Many states offer general special education licenses that allow teachers to work with students across a variety of disability categories. Others license different specialties within special education.

Important Qualities

Communication skills. Special education teachers must collaborate with teacher assistants and general education teachers. In addition, they must discuss students’ needs with parents and administrators.

Creativity. Special education teachers need to think creatively to develop new ways to present information in a manner that meets the learning styles of the students they serve.

Critical-thinking skills. Special education teachers review and analyze data about students’ progress, strengths, and weaknesses and use that information to develop strategies to help students learn.

Instructional skills. Special education teachers need to be able to explain difficult concepts in terms that students with learning disabilities can understand. In addition, they need to be able to get students engaged in learning and help other teachers adapt their content to special education students’ needs.

Patience. Working with students of different abilities and backgrounds can be difficult. Special education teachers must be patient when students struggle with material.

People skills. Special education teachers must work with general education teachers, school counselors, administrators, and parents to develop Individualized Education Plans that are in the students’ best interests. Managing the priorities of these different groups can be difficult, so special education teachers need to be able to build good working relationships

This seems like a great blog from an experienced teacher!
I'm home sick today for the third day in a row. I go back and forth between freezing shivers and feverishly sweating buckets. I'm more coherent today, but still not ready to go back. It's early in the morning - I just finished writing four pages of lesson plans for my substitute and putting out fires/calling in favors via email. All of this thinking, working, and communicating at a time I shouldn't be thinking, working, or communicating has me wondering: What is the best way for a teacher to handle and be prepared for absences?

Great outlook on teaching jobs by the time I graduate!
Employment of kindergarten and elementary school teachers is expected to grow by 17 percent from 2010 to 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Growth is expected because of both declines in student–teacher ratios and increases in enr
Teachers of English as a second language (ESL) and special education teachers are in short supply. Kindergarten and elementary school teachers with education or certifications to teach these specialties should have better job opportunities.
