I know that special education is a necessity when I comes to educating in a balanced manner. Since not ever one person think and/or learn in the same way special ed. makes is most equal for most of everyone.

I learned that to truly provide the most equitable environment for all of my students requires thoughtful differentiation and adaptations. While I knew this as a vague idea before this course, I have since understood more specific strategies and the effort required to carry out successful lessons.

I learned young people want to be challenged and held accountable and we as adults at  times hold back from challenging them because we do not want them to fail especially our students who have special needs. They come to us many times already being put down and made fun of and our job should be about allowing them to be the best person they can be without any restrictions. All students do not learn the same way or at the same pace .

Throughout this course I have learned many things about working with students with special needs in an inclusive classroom. We have learned about many equitable practices and how to support our students and challenge them to the best of their abilities. Overall, I learned that not every student learns the same way, regardless if they have the same disability. Every student is unique and has unique learning needs. It is important for educators to get to know WHO their students are and WHAT works best for them individually. Then, design and implement curriculum that supports the needs of all learners.

# data[].attributes.body
Through this course, I learned that while there is a lot to working with students with disabilities, the process doesn't have to be scary as long as the right team is there- and sometimes, these teams can be extensive. Going into this field, you'll never be alone because there's always someone who is willing to help or answer a question I might have. Knowing more about the collaboration process makes me feel a lot more confident.

# data[].attributes.body
What I learned after taking this course is the major differences between an IEP and a 504 Plan. Normally, people would just assume they're the same things with one of them having more weight, but that's not true at all. It was nice to really learn and see the differences of the two plans with the examples provided for us to learn off of. Now, I have a better understanding of modifying lesson plans for that specific child (or children) and feel confident that my modifications will really help the child learn.

I learned a lot about co-teaching, it was something I never thought of before, something I wouldn't have cared to do before this class. But it taught me the importance of collaborative teaching and the benefits it can bring to you as a teacher, your students, and your classroom.

Though we learned about this early in the semester, the history of modern special education was very interesting. I was surprised to find that IDEA was passed in 1975, which is rather recent in US history. Furthermore, the concept of inclusive education was developed even more recently. I aim to follow this model when I become an educator, and I hope that I can contribute in making students from all backgrounds feel welcomed and engaged in the classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned a lot about IEP, 504 plans, and a lot about different types and levels of learning disablities that may come up when I start teaching. I feel like I definitely still have a bit of work to do when it comes to my understanding of how to modify my lesson plans, but I am in a better place than I was at the beginning of the semester.

What I would like to learn is various strategies I can learn and bring into the classroom to support the emotional needs of students who have special needs. I have been subbing at a local school that contains many inclusive classrooms, and I have noticed that the emotional needs of these students can range from mild to severe.

I know that every student learns in diverse ways that are unique to them.

For example, I've often heard the saying "Once you've met a child with Autism, you've met one child with Autism." As a teacher, I know that I have to be able to adapt to whatever my students need and to get to know their condition as much as I can.
