Racaza COURSE: MaEd - SpEd Area 5


SUBJECT: Current, Trends and Issues in SPED PROFESSOR: Dr. Johnito Galan

1. WHAT LEARNING INSIGHTS HAVE I GAINED FROM THE


TOPIC/DISCUSSION/PRESENTATION?

The important insight that I gained from the topic discussion is the recognition of
the value and importance of special education in the educational system. Inclusive
education also which aims to provide equal educational opportunities for students with
disabilities. This includes understanding the diverse needs of students and promoting a
supportive and inclusive learning environment.

Special education emphasizes the development and implementation of


Individualized Education Plans, which are tailored to meet the unique learning needs of
each student with a disability. This insight highlights the significance of personalized
education and the importance of considering individual strengths, challenges, and
goals.

This insight involves understanding how technology can enhance learning


experiences and provide support to students with disabilities, helping them overcome
barriers and access education more effectively.

Special education often requires collaboration among educators,


parents/guardians, and other professionals to develop effective strategies and support
systems for students. This insight emphasizes the value of teamwork, communication,
and shared decision-making in promoting the success and well-being of students with
disabilities.

Special education practices are continually evolving based on research findings


and evidence-based interventions. This insight highlights the importance of staying
updated with current research and best practices to improve teaching methods and
outcomes for students with disabilities.

2. HOW CAN I APPLY THIS LEARNING INSIGHTS TO MY:

SELF

Knowing about the most recent trends and problems in the sector is essential for
special education teachers. I will take advantage of possibilities for continuing
professional development, go to conferences, attend workshops, and get publications
and journals from credible sources. Upgrading my knowledge will enable me to use the
most recent studies, regulatory requirements, and effective teaching techniques.
COLLEAGUES

Working together is essential in special education. Communicate and work


together often with my coworkers, including general education instructors, professionals
in relevant fields, administrators, and support personnel. I may develop elaborate plans
to support the many requirements of my students by cooperating, exchanging ideas,
and combining assets.
The need for collaborative techniques and efficient transition planning are two
contemporary concerns in special education that can be addressed through
collaboration with my colleagues. Educating others about what I've learned and
collaborating with other teachers to share resources and teaching methods helps our
students learn.

SCHOOL
I will encourage inclusive behavior across the board at the school. Inform
everyone who has a stake in the school—administrators, instructors, aides, students,
and parents—about the most recent developments and problems in special education. I
will spread knowledge by holding school-wide events, workshops, and presentations.
Foster greater empathy and understanding for students who have exceptional needs.
Provide staff members with professional development opportunities, including teachers,
administrators, and support personnel.
Current trends, academic studies, and practice-based research in special
education should be the main topics of these sessions. To ensure that staff members
have the information and abilities necessary to effectively support students with
particular requirements, we offer regular training.
To support kids with special needs, I will use my knowledge of what I have
learned to advocate for the funds, resources, and regulations that are required. Work
together with administrators, school boards, and decision-makers to make sure that the
educational environment has the tools and support necessary to accommodate the
variety of requirements of children with disabilities.

3. WHAT ARE THE POSSIBLE CHALLENGES THAT I MAY ENCOUNTER IF I


IMPLEMENT/INTRODUCE CHANGE IN MY WORK?
As the saying goes “Change is constant”, many parties, including coworkers,
supervisors, and even parents, have the potential to be resistant to change. The
challenges that I may encounter is that some people could be reluctant to use new
tactics or methods, especially if they have grown accustomed to using established
methods.
Hectic schedules is also one challenges that might be difficult to implement
changes while still carrying out existing duties and workloads. It may be difficult for
teachers and staff members to carve out time for training, cooperation, and the adoption
of new practices. Creating time for professional development might be difficult, but it can
be made easier with planning and prioritizing, efficient time management, and
administrative support.
It might be challenging to ensure consistency in change implementation across
various grade levels and classrooms. Each educator may have their own methods of
teaching and degree of comfort with the suggested alterations. The reinforcement of
consistency and ensuring that the changes are effectively integrated into the school's
culture can be achieved through routine cooperation, professional learning
communities, and monitoring of implementation.
