This Blog is short but from the HEART. I adore my students and I feel deeply for persons with special needs. My journey to special education is perhaps a simple one - I see what I love, I feel a calling, and I pursue.
I chose my topic for the same reasons, except it made sense to take it to a different level. It is not always easy to explain one's passion. When we were tasked with coming up with a Driving Question (remember everyone - what is your "passion" - what "calls to you") it seemed so relevant and timely to look at how learning and well-being are related during times of isolation. We can NOT IGNORE the COVID FACTOR. It drives everything! It will continue to drive everything! We are educators and our world imploded about one year ago. I actually HAD to write about it. How are my students with special needs affected? What can I do better? (answer: everything) My research is short - my cycles need another round, and I did not have as much time as I needed. But, I have a beautiful and well-meaning beginning. I wish to take this further but it is my hope that someone else will also see the relevance in what I wanted to seek. And share it with all educators and parents.
