Suzy Ahlman: College programs need to do a better job of preparing special education teachers.

By Suzy Ahlman | Special to The TribuneDaily more children are diagnosed with a disability that affects their educational performance. As we see this increase we, therefore, see more children needing an individualized education plan and related services in schools. And, the more students enter into special education, the more we need special education teachers.

For example, a course on transition planning will teach you how to write, develop and implement a transition plan and related goals that are implemented in an IEP. Collaboration is a course that teaches strategies on how the IEP team develops a good rapport with each other to produce an IEP that best fits a student’s needs.

The world of special education is complicated to a special education teacher or attorney, it must be much more so to a parent who has a child receiving services. It forced me to think back to the courses I took during my undergraduate years. Luckily, the semester before completing my student teaching and the second semester before graduating, I took a course on special education law which along with my job at the time helped me see that education is really a legal matter at hand.
