Chapter 1: Career Choice

i. Introduction
In special education teaching, they educate students who have developmental orders ranging

from autism and hard of hearing to cerebral palsy and wheelchair bound students. The teachers

teach in similar ways that typical one-subject teachers educate, but the Special education

Teachers accommodate the student’s specific needs so that these students can thrive like the

typical students without prominent developmental issues can. This field of education is most

appealing to me because of my former Early Childhood Education teacher, Gina Tanner, who

incorporated the special education class every Friday. Ms. Tanner would involve the students on

Friday so that the class can perform a lesson that went along with the Early Childhood class’s

lessons. Ms. Tanner taught me the accommodations we must make for students who are

neurodivergent and expresses the effort that teachers put into planning for the day and the week

ahead. In the few months I spent in her class I was exposed to the characteristics of a good leader

that Ms. Tanner and Candice Garcia had. The teachers both expressed inclusion of all ages and

abilities that show that all students are similar in goals and daily routine. For example, Ms.

Garcia uses language that she would use for fellow typical students that are not in her class. Most

people talk to special education students use childish language to communicate with them which

draws attention to their disability and not their abilities. I think that using language as you would

with others who are neurotypical can improve your relationships and trust with neurodivergent

students. The teachers also provided accommodations for the students who are nonverbal and for

the cerebral palsy students who cannot move their arm and fingers. For example, they have a

paraprofessional who will guide the students despite their medical disabilities through the lessons

of the class. The students will find it easier to be open and comfortable around the teachers and
 Holdaway 4
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

other students who can guide them to the right choices and lessons. To be a bridge to the special

education students and their future in education brings me excitement and will keep me

enthusiastic throughout my career. The passion and positivity that you can experience in your

career is most important in staying persistent in what is necessary to accomplish to a successful

career that is long lasting. The overall purpose of schooling is finding that long lasting career, but

without the passion to drive you throughout you will not be able to make your career long

lasting. This career will give the individual communication skills and help develop a better

understanding in others personal battles that will give them strength and persistence.

ii. Job Description

A Special education Teacher has the same work hours as the typical teachers do. The

hours become unpredictable and sometimes strenuous as there can be long nights grading

papers and earlier morning for tutoring. The roles of a Special education Teacher expand

farther than just grading papers and tutoring. In the interview with Ms. Garcia, she expressed

that the role as a Special education Teacher is strenuous and requires a multitude of patience

and perseverance to keep the students focused so that they are improving. Ms. Garcia

explains that having patience is not the only hard part of her career. She also must deal with

students who are prone to seizures. The students could cause a frantic and panicked situation

that may end in her students passing away or experiencing a medical episode in class. The

typical day in the life is “working on hygiene skills,” PE games, and occupational skills like

counting money and communication skills (Garcia lns. 89-100). These skills can be produced

in a days’ or a weeks’ time depending on the classes’ behavior and how quickly they can

grasp a concept. With a physically and mentally demanding job their entry salary is $49,560

a year. The entry level varies per state, but this is the average in Georgia. Ms. Garcia started
 Holdaway 5
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

this way and was able to work her way up by taking more classes and training like “a

behavior and autism support teacher” program (Garcia lns. 68-69). The more experience and

education a teacher obtains makes them more sought out to the employers. As of the year

2020, more teachers have planned early retirements, moved to other locations, or quit due to

the ever changing and unpredictable nature that the COVID pandemic has caused for the

public school system. The unpredictable circumstances of this time have made this job

undesirable and therefore it will make my chances of becoming a teacher in an undesirable

field easier and quicker. However, I am still required to get my collegial education in

“special education” along with a special education certification “to be considered highly

qualified” (Garcia lns.82-83). I will also pay to have first aid skills like cardiopulmonary

resuscitation in case a student falls ill or chokes on food or water because of their disabilities.

The use of CPR is important but that is not the only tool that can help you in achieving a

career in Special education. For example, it takes a calm and levelheaded individual to

recognize the proper procedures to take when in a dire situation and a school nurse might not

be close by. The danger of the career makes it scarier to others, but you do not have to be in a

high-risk classroom where medical issues like these appear more often. I would prefer to be

in a medium risk classroom that is still in need of accommodations but does not necessarily

need an overhead in case of dire accidents. Special education teaching is the best option for

those individuals who want to help others who are less fortunate than them and are interested

in education with added accommodations.

iii. A Day in the Life

In the life of a Special education Teacher, they will have a typical school day shift starting at

8 or 9 A.M. in a classroom setting that is constantly moving to keep the students entertained. The
 Holdaway 6
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

teachers in this career are similar to typical teachers because of grading, environment, and

number of students. The teachers can also look forward to daily one-on-one interactions with

students. I find that having the one-on-one interactions encouraging to the students in helping

them focus and in the classroom. The teachers use their time to review days of the week,

mathematics, healthcare, and other life lessons so the students can adapt their knowledge to use

in future experiences. For example, Ms. Garcia lets her students deliver packages to teachers,

take out the trash and replace the bags, and help sell and make coffee for their typical peers. The

assistant teachers and parapros provide more stress to the head special education teacher. The

head teachers are responsible for assigning the duties for the assistants as well as the students for

the day. In my discussions with Ms. Garcia, she explains that having a helping hand is more

helpful than difficult but does find “toileting” the least desirable part of the career as she would

them have to be responsible for wiping and reminders on handwashing that are mundane to

typical students (Garcia ln. 132). Nonetheless, the career still carries with positive and

encouraging moments. For example, Ms. Garcia explains that “[t]he kids…as soon as they walk

in the [d]oor they put a smile on my face” (Garcia lns. 122-124). Despite the hardships of

seizure, bad behavioral days, toileting, and limited creative liberties, the reward of putting a

smile on the students for the beginning of the through the end makes them all worthwhile.

iv. Pros and Cons

Every career has difficulties since the world is forever changing, whether that be in

technology or teaching requirements, the best employee is flexible and comfortable with change.

The Special education field will include more than just one teacher like typical classrooms. The

extra set of hands create stress and limitations on creative liberties that can serve as a hard spot

for those who find teamwork complicated. I find working with others difficult as I have been
 Holdaway 7
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

dependent in my 4 years at school, but teamwork is required in all fields in more fields than

others. These circumstances can cause for drastic changes in not only the teacher’s environment,

but also the parapro and the other assistants that the SPED teacher is responsible for. They must

create a plan for them so that they know how to help the students and complete direction for the

rest of the class. Another disadvantage to Special education teaching is the medically fatigued

students who give a worrisome class and homelife experience and require extra or sometime

excessive care just for them to move limbs or speak. However, the unpredictable experiences of

the 2020 pandemic life, the teachers are still able to have and uphold the school day with

plentiful activities. For example, walks outside of campus, scheduled gym time, and math

lessons through the computer so that virtual children can have similar access to the materials and

lessons that the in-person students experience. The career also provides benefits like the vacation

days, get summers off school and retirement provided by the county. Depending on the school,

they provide affordable healthcare that can also lead to an easy retirement plan. In comparison to

other teachers, SPED teachers’ have a liberty to decide student break time whilst other teachers

will be required to teach a full 90 min period. This freedom is allowed because SPED teachers

can split up the time periods because they have the same students all day. The teachers are

responsible to get to the main resolvent of the day before they go home. Since, the students can

have break or snack times, they can have extra lessons and they can also provide the students

with social times so that communication skills are worked on. The extra time and spacing with

students help involve them into a better relationship with their teachers that end in having a more

enjoyable high school time than typical student peers.

Chapter2: From Here to There

i. Profession Profile
 Holdaway 8
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

In becoming a teacher, you will need to be able to have abilities that make you adaptive to

unpredictable situations, patience with others, educate others using all styles of learning, and to

approach all circumstances firmly yet calmly. The teacher must be adaptive to situations like a

fire, tornado, school violence, and a kid becoming ill. The teachers need these adaptiveness skills

because it will have an overall preparedness and safety of the students which is a high priority

along with educating the students.

Next, the teachers need patience as they are educating students who have a lower field of

perception and have difficulty with retaining information. The students in this field are not

necessarily of lower intelligence but they do lack the skill to quickly understand a concept that

could be second nature to their typical peers. For example, handwashing, toileting, or chewing

and swallowing food. If a teacher wants their children to be on an average with their typical

peers they must practice and enforce the practice of the skills.

Then, the students in all classes will learn differently than others and will need

accommodations that can suffice how they learn best. The best teachers include lessons that

involve all three learning styles every day. For example, you can have a lesson on talking about

basic mathematic skills and then use building blocks to introduce that lesson to them in a more

physical way. In educating the students on topics that involve physical interactions can increase

the likeliness that they will retain that information (American Montessori Campus, 2018).

Finally, the teacher must be able to assess situations calmly and in a firm voice so that all

students can listen. The importance of a firm and calm voice is so that students can hear their

instructions, in every circumstance, clearly. The teachers that have a clear and firm voice can

help the students in focusing on any and every task they have. Overall, the teacher needs to be
 Holdaway 9
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

ready for every occasion and able to instruct each student with accommodations to their

disabilities.

v. Education
Special education teachers require the same education that other teachers need but with

additional steps like a Special education certification. The inclusion of a Special education

certification is giving the teacher a “highly qualified” presence for the career (Garcia lns. 82-

83). The place that you choose to attend college is not dependent on how well you do in life.

In my interview with Ms. Garcia, she continued her conversations on being “at West

Georgia” and getting her “bachelor’s in Special education” (Garcia ln. 57). Ms. Garcia went

straight from high school to college and then went right into teaching. Along the way she was

able to intern as “a behavior and autism support teacher” (Garcia lns. 68-69). The addition of

her training with autistic students gave her an advantage in getting her career at Harrison as

she became well trained in several diverse cases.

Then, a doctorate in Special education will lead to more pay for Ms. Garcia and I in

teaching as more education leads to more money. Ms. Garcia has been able to find further

education and experience through Harrison to earn more money besides extended schooling.

She was able to have additional training like “restraint training, sign language… and [some]

other behavior training” (Garcia lns. 75-78). The extensive training has made her more

adaptable in class and gave her qualifications more inclusive to other students who would not

be able to have an education without the teachers who go further for the qualification. In

finding what other training to take, you should consider the severity of students you would

like to teach. I would like to teach a moderate case of students, like those with moderate

cases of autism or deaf and blind students.

 Holdaway 10
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

The students that I will teach all need specific training like Ms. Garcia did. For example,

I would go through a blind or deaf support teacher training to instruct the students who are

blind or deaf. Also, if the child does not what supply their own American Sign Language

interpreter, I would learn sign language to interpret to the students. I believe that the type of

education you want to pursue will come with more experience with other teachers in your

desired field. In setting up for the right direction it is important to push for the best in your

field, so I will push for the top experience and qualifications I can.

vi. Budgeting
In the transition from high school to college, the cost of college and the inevitable debt must

be considered. To figure out my exact budget that I need to follow I did the budgeting project

using the average beginner salary of a Special education, $24,940.00, and that net pay. (Jordan

2021). Also, I was able to calculate my debt from college, considering I can keep my HOPE

scholarship, and that calculated to $22,350.00, and I will need to pay off this debt incrementally

over the next few years (Jordan 2021). I set a goal for me to pay off my debt in 10 years which

caused my monthly payment to be $139.00 (Jordan 2021).

In the “Professional Profile #4 Post College Annual Budget” project, my net pay was

$1,726.01 and I had to use this amount over the month to pay for groceries, transportation, rent,

insurance internet, clothing, utensils, toiletries and paying back my college debt (Jordan 2021).

The number of items that need payment that range from $100-$200 has caused a panic to me as I

find saving money and splitting necessity from wants difficult. In calculating my monthly

payments to these chores, the average entry level pays for a Special education teacher will not

suffice the type of lifestyle I would like to live.

 Holdaway 11
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

To have the lifestyle I want, I will need to pick up extra training classes, a second job, and

possible higher-level education like a doctorate besides a bachelor’s degree. These necessary

steps for success will be crucial decision making to make sure I can supply for myself out of

college. Overall, the amount of money that is accumulated in debt after college will rest over the

head of the future students and teachers until its paid off. The collegial debt will cause financial

aid issues especially since a way of getting more money to pay off the debt is by going through

further education that will only increase the debt.

Chapter 3: Personal Assessment

i. My Skills
My skills point is a critical determinant in what I use to choose my future career. I am a

critical person who often over thinks decisions before they are made. The nature of Special

education teaching must deal with the confidence and the patience of the teachers. I struggle with

my confidence and patience quite often. In a school setting I find it difficult to stay on task and

focus which causes a short temper with learning. I believe that having this difficulty will become

a challenge in my career and cause for an extra practice length to perfect. I will practice my

patience through breathing techniques that can slow down my heart rate and by incorporating

more breaks into my work schedule to avoid over working myself.

Moreover, I believe that my skills in preparation and encouragement will help keep the

students engaged and learning. The use of encouragement and tone in a classroom is the most

important aspect of the classroom setting. Most adults and students will treat those individuals

with special needs likes children in their speak. The use of the childish tone will slower the

development of the students and cause them to lack independence (Bright Hub Education 2009).

Therefore, the teachers are responsible for using similar if not the same tone of voice throughout

adult and student interactions.

 Holdaway 12
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

Furthermore, medical preparedness is important skill in this field. The medical practices

have been talked about and practiced in Freeman’s sports medicine class. I will be able to use my

practices on cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in the classroom for the mentally fatigued

students. The use medical skills from the classes and the future class I will be taking in my

certification process will give me an extra leg in the field so that I can have the best placement

that is provided. Lastly, the soft personality skills that can strongly influence the students that

work cohesively with the tangible skills to encourage a safe and positive teaching environment.

vii. My Personality
I have noticed that most teachers have a helping or selfless personality that will constantly

put compassion in front of themselves to give the students the best school experience they can

have. The trait of selflessness is crucial in helping the students achieve the highest grade that

they can. In compared to the typical teachers, the Special education teachers will need to add in

extra guidance and leniency to help the students. The extra leniency will give great advantage to

their students but will give set back to the teachers as a resultant of the extra tutoring. This

reason gives more to the students’ success that the teachers have already achieved during their

time in high school.

In teaching with special education students, the individual must become accustomed to tactile

as well as the visual lessons. The tactile learning style encourages students who have trouble

focusing. Students find that tactile learning styles better equip them of the materials in the

classroom (American Montessori Campus, 2018). The tactile learning style has helped me in my

education, so I believe that I can help others using what I have practiced in high school.

Special education teachers need to have an open, accepting, and positive personality. The

personality of the teacher will impact the students, so if the teacher is positive the students are
 Holdaway 13
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

positive. The interactions of the adults and the students will affect the way students learn. The

students in every class need a positive environment to have the best learning experience (Georgia

Department of Education, 2014).

viii. My Motivation
In my planning to become a Special education Teacher, I was able to get connected with

Garcia Tanner. Ms. Tanner has gone to Kennesaw State University and that is where I have

applied. I will use the “Secondary Education” major as a beginning stone into my career.

Through the “Secondary Education” major it will train me in the typical high school setting.

Then, I will minor in sign language to start inclusion in special needs students. Next, I will be

applying towards the special education certification in the middle of classes so that I can come

out of college to a job.

Moreover, in teaching I will have to face a competitive field of individuals who are working

for doctorates or have more qualifications than I. I can overcome the competition by having a

more diverse set of qualifications. For example, my minor in sign language and practices with

CPR will show more inclusive training. The extra training will set an example of what I can do.

Another complication is my preference to teach in a mild special needs class. The specific

requirement for my comfort zone will limit me. I will not be able to change this aspect of myself,

but I can continue to look for jobs that can grant me with my specific request. Overall, the field

comes with a wide variety of competition, but the competition will be worth it to have the ability

to help others.

Furthermore, I can use my skills obtained through Harrison High School’s STEM program. I

can use my skills in CPR, time management skills, and my written and spoken language skills.

The skills can help me find a job easier and keep it longer. The public speaking skill I have
 Holdaway 14
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

obtained through oral defenses, assistant teaching, and science fair will help me in teaching for

six plus hours a day. The skills from school will go more into my daily life and public

interactions than just my professional interactions.

Chapter 4: Productivity
i. My Project
The research and interviews have led me to teach my lesson plan. The lesson I have designed

for the class is on the proper technique in hand washing. In this lesson, I have originally planned

to have the students color in the blank three step guide and vote on their favorite. Later, I was

informed by Ms. Garcia that the students like to rush the coloring as they find it too elementary

for their attention span and intelligence. For this reason, I changed the activity to identification of

the order of the three steps. I had three pictures labeled one, two, and three that displayed the

steps of handwashing. The students then had to identify with plastic spoons, that were also

labeled with the numbers, which is the correct first, second, and third step. This replacement

used higher focus and concentration for the children. The lesson then continued with the use of a

UV light and powder that glows under the UV light. The use of the UV light and powder is to

demonstrate how the germs linger on the hands when the students do not wash their hands

correctly. The students were instructed to wash their hands as they remembered. Then, they were

shown through the UV light that if they do not follow the proper steps, they are not washing the

germs away and that could get themselves and others sick (Holdaway, 2021). Finally, the

students answered some questions from the teachers to test what they have learned and to show

that they now know the right the next time they need to wash their hands. The numbered pictures

will stay hung in the class as a constant reminder to what to do when washing their hands.

Overall, the lesson was intimate and explored the student’s memorization skills and these skills

will help the students throughout future lessons.

 Holdaway 15
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

The students were able to benefit from the lesson as they got another reminder on the

proper steps in hand washing. The students all seemed to enjoy the physical component of the

lesson including the spoon activity at the beginning of the lesson. I would edit some more things

around the virtual students the next time by including a worksheet on the smartboard that each

student could type in or that I can write their answers down. The students were able to get an

active activity before their normal lessons which improved their attentiveness throughout the

day.

ii. Career Connection

In the lesson, I was able to connect my passion for helping and teaching others to

precautionary measures against the coronavirus. In teaching the class on a twenty-minute

lesson I was able to receive a quick view on what it takes to teach students in this field and

get feedback from a professional. The lesson is relevant to the climate of the school which

will not only help the students during class but also throughout the rest of their lives. The

project also connects the student to the outside world by introducing more technology. I

included the UV light as a scientific and technological device that they could come in contact

with again.

The hand washing lesson has given me a new experience to how special education

students are taught and how the students interact in the class. On having a one-on-one

experience with special education students and teachers I am able to experiment with my

lesson delivery and comfort with public speaking. The lesson taught me that inclusiveness of

all students is necessary in the classroom to avoid having the students bored. I can improve

on keeping the students excited by including an additional worksheet that the students can fill
 Holdaway 16
Running Head: THE CALL FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS

out that checks their understanding. The check for understanding and evaluation of the lesson

will increase the likeliness that the students retain the information.

 In this lesson I will be providing each student with plastic spoons labeled 1-3 that correspond

with proper order for washing hands. The students will have to try to put them in order by the

labeled photos of each step/ drawing number one corresponds with spoon one and so on. Below

is the example sheet:

Then, the class will go to the kitchen all will put on the UV light powder and wash their hands

without following the steps. The light will be shown over their hands and they will see the

powder still on their hands.  Then, the second time they wash their hands following

the instructions they will see that following the proper steps to hand washing is crucial

in protecting themselves and others from germs. Below are example powder and light that will

be used during the lesson:.
